Veerle

Met zus Goele effe luieren op een zomers bankje, terwijl de oudste zus Nele aan het zwoegen is. Toen was geluk nog gewoon.

Er zijn zo van die vage herinneringen. Zoals toen Nele haar doctoraat aflegde en de zussen tijdens de receptie naar buiten glipten om van het mooie weer te genieten. Het zit nog in het geheugen, maar het wordt minder en minder duidelijk. Zoals de foto vervaagt het …


I'm playing my guitar while my sister bangs the jar
The glass sets up a sound like people laughing
It's going to my brain and it's easing all my pain
I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing

I'm walking by the sea and the shingle sings for me
The crabs are swimming down among the starfish
The rocks all clatter down and the seagulls fly around
But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing, passing

Find it, I got to hear it all again
My heart has heard the sound of harmony
Blind to it, as my tears fall again It's only by the music I'll be free

There's something in the whisper of the trees
Millions hear it, still they can't believe
There are echoes of it splashing in the waves As an empire of dead men leave their graves

Don't listen to people talk, don't listen to 'em selling souls
Don't listen to me or words from men above Don't hear it in your needs and don't hear it in your greeds
Just hear it in the sound of time a-passing

Find it, I got to hear it all again
My heart has heard the sound of harmony Blind to it, as my tears fall again
It's only by the music I'll be free
