Frank Hermans

Lyrics

They say life is sad, meaningless and hopeless
You fight, you suffer, show your wounds, but you stand
A strange fate they call remorse and illness
You believe, you act, do things different than you planned

There's more pain than pleasure
You're a fool and a laughing stock
Love they call a treasure
Nothing else than a mental shock

But to find you by my side is still a big relief
So lay me down like a stone and wake me like a leaf

Cold and untouchable
Ridiculous and impossible
Misery and joy
Always mama's little boy

To get married is to loose yourself in hate
You drink, fall ill, hope to recover and survive
Crawling like a maggot and a lightweight
You lie, you repent, try to stay away from a knife

You set fire to the mind
Feel lonely and totally lost
Become legally blind
Turn a warm heart into frost

But to find you by my side is still a big relief
So lay me down like a stone and wake me like a leaf

To choose between good and bad
Is to love you more and trust you less
And if it all seems too sad
Time is all that matters I guess

But to find you by my side is still a big relief
So lay me down like a stone and wake me like a leaf
