about

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve, some got their heart in a handshake

lyrics

What a wonderful way
to tell somebody I love you
it takes a little time
but has a great effect on everyone

It's nothing easy to say
sometimes it's not even obvious
the true emotions may hide
behind a joke or a smile or an insult

I would like to know how to say how I feel
but my fear is too big now
I want you to know what it means when I lay my
heart in a handshake

What a difficult way
to open up for emotions
to fight the shades of your pride
and step into the light for everyone

it's not easy to stay
maintain a livelong relation
it's an everyday warfare
against the constant noise inside your head

I would like to know how to say how I feel
but my fear is too big now
I want you to know what it means when I lay my
heart in a handshake

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
