Spiral Time

2011, Inger Woest


 Each song is

A bead on a necklace

A flower in a bouquet

A moment in time

Music and rhyme

A dot on a line

A line, a thread

Weaving in and out

 

DNA

Milky Way

Twisting, turning

Far away

Skipping rope

Playing guitar

Where we come from

Who we are

 

Watch sorrow

Hold pain

Broken vows

Same refrain

Here and now

A drop of rain

Spinning wheels

Beneath a train

 

Where she stops

Nobody knows

Ebb and flow

The days unfold

I was young

But now I’m old 

Seasons turn

And now it’s cold

 

Snowflakes fall

Onto the ground

Like a compass

Round and round

Swirling, twirling

Vast and vaster

Whirling, hurling

Fast and faster

 

Weaving in and out

A line, a thread

A dot on a line

Music and rhyme

A moment in time

A flower in a bouquet

A bead on a necklace

Each song is

 

 

Wishing Well 

Lyrics/music: Inger Woest 

© January 2003


Wishing well, wishing well
Make it better
Wishing well, wishing well
Cast me a spell

I can’t stop, I can’t stop
I can’t stop crying
Make me stop, make me stop
Make me stop crying

I wish you well, wish you well
And wait for the healing
I know I fell, please don’t tell
Wish me well

I’ll let you go, let you go
Let you go now
I’ll let you go, let you go
Let you go now

Un loup sur une passerelle
À mi chemin
Un loup sur une passerelle
Rencontre son destin

Il n’avance pas, il ne recule pas 
Il ne bouge pas, il est figé
Il voit la lune, il voit la chaumière 
Dans la brume, liberté

Une louve sur une passerelle
À mi chemin
Une louve sur une passerelle
Rencontre son destin

 
Elle n’avance pas, elle ne recule pas 
Elle ne bouge pas, elle est figée
Elle voit la lune, elle voit la chaumière 
Dans la brume, liberté

Ils n’avancent pas, ils ne reculent pas
Ils ne bougent pas, ils sont figés
Ils voient la lune, ils voient la chaumière

I can’t stop, I can’t stop
I can’t stop crying
Make me stop, make me stop
Make me stop crying
 

I can’t stop, I can’t stop
I can’t stop crying
Make me stop, make me stop
Make me stop crying


I Am Leaving
Lyrics/music: Inger Woest November 
Copyright 2006                        

I am leaving, I am leaving 
I am leaving today
I am leaving, I am leaving
And there’s nothing more to say

I am grieving, I am grieving 
I am grieving today
I am grieving, but I’m still leaving
You know I wanted to stay


You said, “Listen” 
You said, 
“Listen I got too much to do
I really don’t have any
Time for you

I got places to go
I got people to see
I got new songs to write
I want to make it this year

Well, I know I said I love you
And that much is true
But I don’t want another baby
And I can’t marry you

It’s not your fault, it’s not my fault
It’s just a change of plans
I wanna be alone again
I wanna be a free man”
A free man


I remember, I remember 
When we sat in your car
At the foot of the mountain
Under the stars

 
And the snow fell, and the snow fell
On our kisses so warm
You held me and I held you
Beneath the winter storm

I am leaving, I am leaving 
I am leaving today
I am leaving, I am leaving
And there’s nothing more to say

I am grieving, I am grieving 
I am grieving today
I am grieving, but I’m still leaving
You know I wanted to stay
I am grieving, but I’m still leaving
You know
I wanted to stay
