End of the Game 03:14

It's a cold and gray morning I can't see the vine through the rain Yesterday gave me no warning that today could be the end of the game When I awoke I thought that I knew you but now the light in your eyes has turned strange I can't see where you're going to and now you are way out of range Is it me who is mainly the asshole? Is it me who's thickheaded and blind? I can't play any leading role I only should always be kind I can still see the clouds come in faster It stirres up the pain in my heart Tomorrow things will be better but I've been saying this right from the start It's a cold and gray morning I can't see the vine through the rain Yesterday gave me no warning that today could be the end of the game that today could be the end of the game that today could be the end of ... © Martin van de Vrugt (1992/2012)

I can't believe you show me your tormented face 'cause it's you and you alone who made this home an awful place I always gave my best and tried to make it last now we're constantly in ruin Why don't you see what you are doing Fall from grace I mean flat on it's face And all we ever wanted and all we thought important it's fallin' down again Fallin down again Flat on it's face What a disgrace You live here like a star but who do you think that you are use me as you servent behave like a serpent Fall from grace I mean flat on it's face And all we ever wanted and all we thought important it's fallin' down again Fallin'down again Fallin' and again and again and again ... Fall from grace I mean flat on it's face And all we ever wanted and all we thought important it's fallin' down again Fallin'down again Fallin' flat on it's face What a disgrace again © Martin van de Vrugt (April 4th 2010)

If i die Tonight 04:21
lyrics

Found my life caved in My head was in a spin Just like my heart I’ve always tried to see the light Picture things from every side Every part I never had a second chance My whole life was in your hands Right from the start So if I die tonight It will be because of my Broken heart I can’t find you anymore I’ve been opening all doors For so long I can’t find you anymore I’ve been opening all doors For so long I can’t find you anymore I’ve been trying all these damn damn doors For so long It all makes me feel so sad It’s all way over my head and it feels so wrong No-one’s with me in this thing However this bird will sing His own song All these songs All these songs All these songs So if I die tonight if I die tonight if I die tonight if I die tonight if I die tonight It will be because of my Broken heart © Martin van de Vrugt (March 9th / 12th 2012)

No Summer 04:26
lyrics

Rains keep pounding Like endlessly You can’t call this a summer And that aint what it means to me We were doing fine we thought All seemed well Sure we’ve seen some hard times But now we face hell Crucial moments Passin’ by Too short to remember Too fast for the naked eye What made you do this It doesn’t make any sence We gave everything to help you Now it’s out of our hands Precious moments Passin’ by Too short to remember Too fast for the naked eye Still the rains keep pounding down pounding down Like endlessly I won’t call this a summer 'cause that aint what it means to me © Martin van de Vrugt (September 1st 2011)

Crack in my Heart 03:35
lyrics
buy track
You know I considered leaving But I couldn’t figure out where to go And now when-ever I am walkin’ The floor moves while I stand still How can I get grip on the situation? Far too many told me That sometimes life is hard While I just need some-one to hold me And mend the crack in my heart How can I get grip on the situation? I never lied about my feelings Though I might have kept some things untold And now we’re burning up the real thing I don’t know what to say at all How can I get grip on the situation? © Martin van de Vrugt (1993/2011)

The sun always Travels 05:06
lyrics
buy track
am a tree I won't go anywhere Firmly rooted in this soil I can only bend and wave with the winds and try just try to put some shadows on the ground You're a spirit No one knows where you are No one knows what drives your heart truth lingers in twilight you just might you just might live between the stars Hey ho Hey ho you know the sun you know the sun always travels I won't ask you to stay here There's nothing good in this wood just float among my branches no one knows no one knows if you would Hey ho Hey ho you know the sun you know the sun always travels West © Martin van de Vrugt (October 26th 2012)

Loving Heart 03:28
lyrics

Maybe I'm gone but I always will be here Always present just to wipe away a tear Give me your heart and I'll lend you just an ear Maybe I'm gone but I always will be here Talk about love and I will be on the run 'Cause my heart is more like a smokin' gun I'll nab yours and I'll place it in the sun But talk about love and I will be on the run I know my dear sometimes life is hard You could even wish it would have never started But then again you wouldn't have found this lovin' heart You know my dear life has to be hard So goddamn hard Maybe I'm gone but I always will be here Maybe I'm gone but I always will be here Lend me your heart and I'll give you all my ear Maybe I'm gone but I always will be here Always will be here Always will be here © Martin van de Vrugt (August 27th 2000)

Ready to be Moved 03:33
lyrics

Can you feel the winds of change After all these troubled years Roaming thru this hostile world Masking your tears Everything twisted and curled Nasty and dreadfully strange Well it’s alright now It’s alright now I see myself in you You won’t be left alone It’s alright now It’s alright now after all you went thru you deserve an open door Cast these stones upon your soul as far away as you can ruthless without a doubt make yourself a better plan Even if it’s hard to get out never give up on you goal Well it’s alright now I called you twice now I see myself in you You won’t be left alone It’s alright now It’s alright now after all you went thru you deserve that it’s alright now and it’s alright now after all you went thru you deserve an open door can you feel that all what’s left is ready to be moved to where everything is nothing © Martin van de Vrugt (October 20th 2010)

The water is Wide 05:49
lyrics

The water is wide I can't cross over Neither do I have wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two My love and I we both shall row There is a ship she sails the seas She's loaded deep as deep can be but not as deep as this love I'm in I know not how to sink or swim I've seen the waters I've seen the waves I've sailed the seas rain in my face Now I'm on a shore not sure what's in store No wind no rain no waves no more Love is gentle and love is kind The sweetest flower when first it blooms But love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like summers do Build me that boat that can carry two My love and I we both shall row Row row row row row the boat My love and I we both shall row Row row row row row the boat (Trad.) adjusted and added lyricks © Martin van de Vrugt (2009)

Ragged Mountain 04:18
lyrics
buy track
I've been sailin' wild waters with unreefed sails and colored flag to see the moon rise on Ragged Mountain and the stars make my day I've been ridin' endless highways fueled up hands on the wheel to see the river roll down the mountain and my tears flow to the sea Look me in the eyes girl can you still see the unbound man I used to be? Now the rain pounds on the windshield and there aint nothing no more to see Well we've got kids They're doing well We have a house Food on the shelf Part of my heart stayed on Ragged Mountain and sometimes my mind flows to the sea I've been sailin' wild waters with unreefed sails and colored flag to see the moon rise on Ragged Mountain and the stars make my day Make my day © Martin van de Vrugt (October 14th 1993)

Friends like you Far and few Ringin' true Stick like glue make me wanna hitch a ride over a thousand miles just to listen to that two buck chime We don't need a dime All these riches we find Good old friend of mine Friends like you Sweet and true Touch my heart Stick like glue I will play that two buck chime as long as you like It won't take a single dime All these riches we find Good old friend of mine Friends like you Far and few Ringin' true Stick like glue make me wanna hitch a ride over a thousand miles just to listen to that two buck chime We don't even need a dime All these riches we find Good old friend of mine We don't even need a dime These riches we find Good old friend of mine © Martin van de Vrugt/Jessica Kilroy (January 2012)
