The Warm Hand

The familiar and the known
The taken for granted
Is folded in the chambers of my heart
Refuses to surrender to the pain
From week to week
Looking forward to the real thing
That will open the locked doors
Enter, and envelop me strongly
 
Ho, the warm hand
Ho, the togetherness in the silence
It's been years since anyone passed by
To paint old walls
Ho, the warm hand
Ho, touch of comfort
It's been a long time since I heard a soft knock on the door
A guest from near or far
 
To remember, to keep and again to forget
To release and again to hold anew
People like me who became bitter
Blame the world for their loneliness
To run to There is no other place
Standing on the sidelines
Observing the smallest details
No good reason to wake up now
 
Ho, the warm hand
Ho, the togetherness in the silence
It's been years since anyone passed by
To paint old walls
Ho, the warm hand
Ho, touch of comfort
It's been a long time since I heard a soft knock on the door
A guest from near or far
 

Locked In His Gaze

A man is closed in his world
despite that all the signs tell him
come to the doorway
here tomorrow has already arrived
get up and go out into the sunlight
to the wide open spaces
 
Locked in his gaze
despite that she whispers in his ear
magic words
that she knows
things that he already does not
he does not feel how the moon again shines in his window
 
A man is thrown into his solitude
until he is beaten inside himself
and all his life he goes on a winding road
from his day of arrival until the day of his departure
 
A man dives thus into his depths
and so his life moves between wall and door
suffocating air- for the blowing wind
and his poetry
is the flame of his life and the fire of his heart
 

Perhaps this Time

Perhaps this time, he will stay

Simple Life

On the day that all the roads will be open for us1
they will be there for us and not only for others
and then we also will be able to go out hand in hand, arm in arm
to see then above us clear skies
 
And you, now you do not know
however i have heard - a good life exists
that all people live without fear
and remain together, a simple life
 
On the day that all the roads will be open for our benefit
we will be able to go out in the evening to see only stars
also then we will be able to see for ourselves
what we could not know existed on the other side of the fence
 
And you, now you do not know
however i have heard - a good life exists
that all people live without fear
and remain together, a simple life
(a simple life)
 
And you, now you do not know
however i have heard - a good life exists
that all people live without fear
and remain together, a simple life
(a simple life)

Why So Sad

Why so sad
at night she doesn't sleep
all day thoughts
and the heart can't forget
when i was a small girl
then in our neighborhood
wandering around the streets
everyone asking what is the matter with that one
 
Maybe, maybe, maybe
maybe smile, what is the matter with you?
maybe, maybe
 
The years fly by, waited for the one to come
to go with him completely1
one that will lift you up
the years fly by, waited for the one to come
to go with him completely
one that will lift you up, the years fly by

Scraps of Life

Versions: #2
What is time showing me?
It’s all scraps* of life
 
And to live in the moment
To start gathering the fragments
 
Maybe I’ll get out more
Start to hurry things up
Start to get along
And make some noise
 
Maybe a different place
A more fiery place
Start breaking things down
And mend them once more
 

Little king

Versions: #1
Don't be angry with me
I plead, don't be angry with me
I will do everything do you
Even when it seems to you that I am faraway
Between the sky and the ground
We see and spoil ourselves
And you want to do everything
And that's where people rip apart
 
Don't be angry with me
I plead, don't be angry with me
I will make mistakes
But I will always be ready for you
Between outer space and the sea
You are asking me why
Not everything is Clear
Be patient, you will understand
 
We are the ones who choose
My love, my little king
There are good moments in life
There are peaks and downfalls
We are the ones who achieve
My love, my little king
There are dreams to grasp
There is a path, there is faith
 

If You Would Have Seen

And the truth is that I no longer pine
A whole life followed on
I learned to fight
I also learned to give way
 
And the truth is that for ages I no longer think
Of what could have been and if there was more
I learned to calm down
To give again, to receive again
 
(X2)
If you would have seen me now
You would certainly have been proud of me
Maybe you would have been less ashamed of me
You would have seen that now I am already whole
 
And the truth is that now I no longer remember
Where the time has passed and disappeared to
I have learned to cling on
To forget everyone
 
(X3)
If you would have seen me now
You would certainly have been proud of me
Maybe you would have been less ashamed of me
You would have seen that now I am already whole
 

Until There's Nowhere Left

Dreams such as these which we dream only from afar,
Dying of longing for you,
Dreams such as these jolt me awake,
I leave everything and search the city wide,
Dreams such as these, the pain that won't relent,
Just to hold on through the night until the morning subsequent,
Dreams such as these, which fall outside of time,
All that is no longer here, all that is not yet there,
Dreams such as these, time of solace leaves us bereft,
To go on forever, to go on until there's nowhere left,
Dreams such as these, the great sea of despair,
Sailing in it once more, drowning every day

Wide World

We spread our hands,
Once more, it's everything and more,
In the wide world,
When our eyes are closed,
We see it all,
A whole world, wide world,
And if we've come this far,
And all that remains is
To say that we lived,
That it's possible despite it all,
And every day that breaks,
Is a new dawn,
And if we've come this far,
And all that remains is
To say that we lived,
That despite everything,
Tomorrow might bring a new charm,
Might solve our dreams,
A whole world, wide world.

Why do we deserve it

And together in a boat we looked up to the sky
And when drops fell we thought it was a blessing
Now it is a storm
Why do we deserve it ‎‏
And how come we didn't see it coming
 
And in a wide field we spread our hands
And an autumn wind came and blew across our necks
Now everything is frozen
Why do we deserve it‎‏
And how come we didn't see it coming
 
You remember, once we rowed against the tide
And we drifted, intoxicated with love
And after we dreamed and flew to the sky
We woke up, broken on the ground
 
And in that house where the two of us sat
And we silenced words that we could have said
Now it's an empty room
Why do we deserve it‎‏
And how come we didn't see it coming
 

In the Beginning

In the beginning there was love
It waited for fertile soil as it would wait for water
It waited for the sun, for the sun setting into the sea
And to a wave of longing
Waited
 
In the beginning there was love
And it waited until it would have the heavens
To look up to the stars
And it waited for Adam and Eve
 
Someone is waiting for you at home
Nearby
Maybe around some corner
A place you will call home
That when you go inside it will become yours
 
In the beginning there was love
And it waited until it would find some rest
And it waited for children in the courtyard
And for a tree to climb and to rest in its shade
 
In the beginning there was love
And after it sorrow was created
And the tears and the broken heart
And after them came consolation
 
Someone is waiting for you at home
Nearby
Maybe around some corner
A place you will call home
That when you go inside it will become yours
 
Someone is waiting for you at home
Nearby
Maybe around some corner
A place you will call home
That when you go inside it will become yours
 

Ve'eem Tavo'ee Elay (And if you will come to me

Now the moment has come
After all you have waited for me
And I always waited for you
And now that day has arrived
Now I promise
That you'll never be alone
 
And if you will suddenly disappear
I'll wait all night
And I will whisper in prayer
That you'll come back to me
 
And if you will come to me
We'll stay all night
And I'll whisper words to you
So that you'll know that I'm yours
And in the morning you’ll see that we’ll stay together
Walking this road
Hand in hand forever
 

To Forgive and to Forget

And it seems that time has passed over us
Something has calmed down, something unknown
Time for questions and to confide hidden secrets
And it seems that time passed between us
Something in the gaze, something was dropped
Time for cleansing oneself, time for self reckoning
 
When the tears are flowing once more
It's time for memories
To forgive and to forget
Again to hope
To live until the last moment
To dance with all one’s strength
 
And it seems that time has passed us by
Something closed, something opened
Time to spread a wing, the rain has already washed us
 
And it seems that time has passed, we have changed
A wrinkle on the face, already less fragile
Something hardened, and running less to the fire
 
When the tears are flowing once more
It's time for memories
To forgive and to forget
Again to hope
To live until the last moment
To dance with all one’s strength
 
And it seems that time has passed, and we were startled
The time that vanished, everything was washed to the sea
And we are less naive and less awake at night
