Won't Sleep Morpheus has forgotten me again and I will stay awake groping at memories from an old diary. I will bring your picture to life I will remember your every charm every grimace of your face. I'll detect the tenderness in your voice amid your merciless teasing and far-off faded words. You like to tease me You laughed at my innocence and inexperience. Once again, I won’t sleep and in spirit I will be with you scratching at these wounds, open for years to make them bleed again and comforted by the thought of you I will count the shooting stars in the starry August sky and send you wishes Keep well sweetheart I will always love you! Out Of Tune Guitar My heart beats like an out of tune guitar its beating like notes, like a dissonant song or agony I stammer, I sweat, I tremble and stumble and a raging sea, sweeps me away on its stormy waters. And here I am! Climbing your steps, counting them one by one. And reaching your doorstep out of breath I ring your bell. Your voice is like a psalmody by the cherubin Its familiar bass tone with pleasure invites me in. Come inside, I 've been waiting anxiously for hours you say and place a warm kiss on my cheek. The memories of early youth, hot coals For so many years I have tried to extinguish them with water. But this hot wind of today, this sudden wind relights sparks long -ignited but hidden. The emptiness and absences of the years have failed to extinguish them as the years go by our hearts will still beat like a dissonant guitar.
