(?) - make believe love

make believe love (by deav)
Rio, Mar 2005
(?)

i know it was just a game, love
right from the start
but what a lovely game to play, love
it brings such warmth to my heart

i know i’m older and wiser, love
but there’s one thing i’ve forgotten
lovely games can hurt too, love
now my heart is getting rotten

oh when you spin round somebody else’s heart
it hurts me deep inside, guess i’m not that smart
i search inside my heart, don’t know if i can
will i ever love this way again?

i know it all seemed so right, love
in our little secret place
but we’re further than we figured, love
we’ll never see each other face to face

i know you have a piece of me, love
even though we’ve gone apart
all the flowers and sweet kisses, love
sweet promises are your major art

oh when mean in you cared less for me
i ran in tears and climbed up my tree
dinner plans washed up in the rain
will i ever love this way again?

"love is always real
even if we are not
love is always true
even if we are not"

but that's another song :))

(?) - bridges

bridges (by deav)
Rio, Set 2004 - Mar 2005
(?)

a pen tip rests on a page
just move it and you have a line
connect the dots this simple way
and build a bridge for your mind

paper cups and a string
it’s easy, you can’t do no wrong
a wooden box ‘s the same thing
strings build a bridge to a song

some people jump, some people blow
but bridges are for crossing
i build a portal to the other world
with the coins that i’m tossing

build a bridge from your heart to mine
build the road step by step
build the highway mile by mile
build a bridge from your heart to mine
build the railway cause your train is coming

drums in the wood and smoke signs
message in a bottle
radio waves and satellites
any way to ease your sorrow

colliding dots create the light
on and off the message lingers
wired, wireless, cross the night
weave the net beneath your fingers

some people jump, some people blow
but bridges are for crossing
i build a portal to the other world
with the coins that i’m tossing

build a bridge from your heart to mine
build the road step by step
build the highway mile by mile
build a bridge from your heart to mine
build the railway cause your train is coming…

(?) - in the now

in the now (by deav)
Rio, Ago-Set-Out 2004 - Mar 2005
(?)

i’ve been sleeping for a thousand years
in a bed of stone
i have visions of the hidden fears
of all the time that’s gone

i’ve been riding a night mare
through the underground fields of my soul
i've been drinking from the well of madness
that yields the seeds that i sow

i’ve been dreaming for a thousand years
of the times to come
i’ve been living on the b-side, in tears
what have i done?

when crossroads turn out to be a dead-end
i wonder
am i later than i supposed?
but things can get better
this is not a game, i’m still in the fight
i’ll ride the wave, i’ll follow the sight

in the now
my creation is in my hand
no time to mourn
the time it takes to understand
cause time is only a dream
and i’m almost awake
life will be what i make
here
in the now…

(?) - in the rain

in the rain (by deav)
Rio, Dez 2004 - Jan-Fev 2005
(?)

i'm licking the rain off my lips
as i walk on
i’m swallowing the rain that pours over me
as i drown

i can’t go back to pick the words i dropped on the road
i guess this line will go unfinished
i cant’ go back to pick up the days
like sand they’re gone
i let them run through my fingers

so i move ahead
there’s nothing i can do instead
so i move ahead
in the rain

i’m crawling up the walls
this heat is insane on my face
boiling blood runs through my veins
i’ll end up burning down this place

the moon has caught me in her tide
i sit and watch as worlds collide in me
somersaulting feelings slide
in this crowded ballroom inside of me

so i move ahead…

(?) - annie lorrie

annie lorrie (by deav)
Rio, Jan 2005
(?)

she was born on a rainy day
in her mama’s bed
for a midwife to welcome her
she had grandma and auntie instead

her big sister, golden hair in plaits
shed tears of joy, no more tears of sorrow
in the other room where she waits
for a new life to begin tomorrow

annie lorrie, annie lorrie
your dad has gone away
someday your brother will tell the story
of that so sad day

annie lorrie, annie lorrie
your name comes from a lovely tune
you’ll be happy, never sorry
the sun you rise up soon
