Memories last forever
make a wish
that you will meet someone
that you never can forget
and always keep in mind
that we are leaves
carried by the wind of life
sometimes we are up
and other times
we are so far down

Explore
save
everything you can

Sometimes you feel
that you can not understand
anything at all
but don't waste your time
staying to long in that state of mind
do your best try
to follow the yellow moon
and you will get a good grip on life's
mysterious reality
very very soon

Don't be afraid
to let your feelings float free
it is indeed very easy
you are born to win
not to lose
we are made to live the way
everyone of us find to choose
start today
don't wait any longer
before you know what is going on
it can be too late
to turn around and try it all once again

Memories last forever
you must never forget what to do
so you can be really proud of your life
memories are all
you ever will be able to take with you

Hey there wild child
listen
I have something
that you want
come closer
and I will show you
what I mean
this is not a dream

Look deep into my eyes
open up your mind
listen carefully to the sound
of my voice

Hey there stranded kid
listen
I have something
that you never had before
you are something very special
so you are the chosen one
I am going to give it all to you
I hope you understand this tone

Hey there beautiful human being
listen
I have something that you need
the sound of love
is now floating into your mind
open up and you will feel fine
this is the right time
to be my companion

Hey there lost soul
listen up
I have something useful for you
it will make you able
to speak the pure truth
and live like you never did before
open your mind
and receive the elixir
that will electrify your existence
into eternity

Hey there sedated and bound man
I have the cure just for you
and it is totally for free
just open your mind
and follow me
to see everything
there is for us to use
the way it is meant to be
come on
it is time to live

Up or down
near or far
in or out
there is no doubt
you don't have to shout

I am going
stop that crying
I am going

Resigned from your life
can you imagine how I feel
I am so glad the wheels
are my property
now I am driving west
and you can forget the rest

Sometimes I wonder
why I stayed so long
maybe I was blinded by your
good cooking
but now it is my turn
to go out looking

Feeling so free
it is easy to be
a man crossing the land
I know I will find myself again
holding a beautiful woman's hand
I have good time to look all around
I don't want to make the same mistake
one more time
I just want to feel fine
it is my life

Up or down
near or far
in or out
there is no doubt anymore
we have lost our love
and I am leaving now
so please stop that crying baby
you are free
and finally so am I

I used to be number one in this town
always creating so much fun
but in present days I am not
the smallest shadow of myself
locked away in this prison cell
not feeling so well

I have done something wrong
and now I have to pay
I am locked away to stay

I used to be free and now I can see
and I feel in my soul what life returns to me
with giving me a second home
that does not come close at all to my own
now I have to live my life alone
in this big cold house of stone

I used to be happy and filled with joy
and all I feel now
is like a scared little boy
afraid of the beast
who is living under my bed
how could it be
that it was me
that had to experience life in this way
why do I have to stay the rest of my days
in this rotten place
which is changing me into an unknown being
that can not understand
the difference between love and hate
I don't know
but time goes

I used to believe that I could do anything
and get away with it
but it is so far from the truth that it
is possible to get
and it is no use for me to regret
I have to stay locked in for a long time
but they must let me out someday
and then I will change my lifestyle radical
and get myself a complete new life
without crime

I used to be number one in this town
and I will be it for sure again
but in a complete different way
that will astound everyone
that once knew my name and reputation
this time I will destroy
the consisting decay
and there will be shown no mercy

Is it really such a long time ago
how nice it is to meet you again
my old friend
how do you feel
have you had some good times
I my-self have thrown away
many good chances

Come on let us find the way
back to that good feeling
it has been gone for so many years

Tell me about your life
do you have a wife
and some beautiful children
or have you been acting
like in the good old days
I my-self have been up and down
in this town

What have you seen
and where have you been
since you left the scene
did you really get to the highest top
in Katmandu
or have you been sleeping in the sand
all this time
I my-self have been all around
in many great lands

What are you saying
can't you remember my name
and that you are in a hurry
and don't have the time to be hanging around
in this boring town
now I remember what happened
we were the best friends
but
I once took your pretty girl
and best friends share everything
except the same girl

Come on let us find back to that good feeling
it is never too late
to forgive an old friend
you must not forget that we were young
and wild
and you did some stupid things too
and I was hurt when it happened
but you seem to forget
that I forgave you everything
so why be so cruel and hard in your heart
telling me that you don't know me at all
anymore

Ahhhh, reflexive pronouns! I was unfortunate to be away from school for quite some time when I was about 10 years old due to a burst appendix, and I missed all these fabulous parts of speech.

I admit that some of them are still tricky for me to get my mind around, because I missed those months of drilling by my teacher with a ruler in her hand. Yes, that's what they used to help us *learn* better! Thank heavens those times have changed ... let's see what we can learn from this lesson in grammar and parts of speech.

Two people wrote in about Reflexive Pronouns :

I myself, You yourself etc

Thank you to Karen Z of Mississauga, Canada [Aug 2001]
and Connie Kozlowski [July 1999]

So many people and newspapers say :

"John, Sue and myself went to the store."

Ouch! This sounds as if someone is trying to be polite and they are not sure about whether to use *I* or *me* ... perhaps with some misguided sense of false modesty.

My suggestion is always this: think how you would say the sentence if you removed the other people from it. For example, would you say the sentence above as:

"Myself went to the store."
I *hope* you wouldn't!
Would you say, "Me went to the store."
No, of course not.
You'd say, "I went to the store."

So it should be, "John, Sue and I went to the store." This is the correct way to say this statement.

Let's look at this sentence again:

"John, Sue and I went to the store."

To make sure it is correct, let's remove John and Sue: and add the word myself [reflexive pronoun]:

"I went to the store myself."

Correct! That's the way it should look AND sound! So now you can remove the word 'myself'.

TIP!

There has to be a noun or pronoun in the subject (in this case "I") before you can refer back to it with a reflexive pronoun, such as :
myself, himself, herself, themselves.

I can hear you thinking, "D'oh? What does *that* mean?".

t means, dear friend, that if you are going to use one of these:

myself, himself, herself, themselves

then you MUST use one of these as well, to match it!

I myself, he himself, she herself, they themselves!!
