about

Originally intended to be about someone else, this is actually meant to remind me of my own abundance as a human being

lyrics

The road is sometimes long and boring
pack some games so time passes faster
I tell you I have come by this tree so often
I can watch it growing

Don't miss this lovely sunset
it's especially a blast round this season
I promise we'll be there on time
lay back and close your tired eyes

Before we stop I have to let you know
you are nothing but amazing
I am so proud of what you achieved
you can only win

All your life you have worked more than anyone
All your life it was nine to twelve
Now your life is the holidays you missed before
Now your life it is twelve to nine

Don't be afraid to talk to everyone
they'll recognize your talent
you'll find me at the cafe downstairs
I'll pick you up later on

look forward to the moment you've now
worked for many days and nights
Don't let your agony brush away the fact
that you will amaze them

Ever since I discovered the guitar as a means to express my feelings in 1985, I'm constantly refining and clearing the channel through which I receive, digest and send out music. I recorded "The Endless Stream Of Everything" to share my love and songs with you. ... more
