about

On a hot night in the early summer of 2007 I ear-witnessed a fight going on in the streets, six stories below my wide open bedroom window. This song is about the agony I felt.

lyrics

Oh boy you're goddamn right you never get to sleep alone
just close your eyes and hear the voices talking on and on

You wake up late at night there's people in the street you hear
them almost start a fight there's no way to espace that fear

Hear him crying
feel him bleed
hear them running
feel the agony

Oh god just let me sleep again
Those voices
Leave me alone again

The other night my doorbell rang I didn't dare to wake
Some ugly demons made feel this agony again

There's people laughing in the street they wouldn't let me go
another fight this time no sound will pass my ears oh no

Can't hear him crying
can't feel him bleed
don't hear them running
but feel the agony

Oh god just let me sleep again
Those voices
Leave me alone again

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
