As I traveled through the different landscapes of my inner world, with its moods, feelings, beauties and challenges: the writing, the singing, and the producing of this album became the transformation. The music was the alchemy.
The lyrics and music attempt to give form to something mysterious and formless, as they come from the depth of my heart as it reaches out to express that which cannot be said.
A heartfelt thank you to all my musicians for the love and talent they brought to this album, and to the friends who listened and supported me during this journey:

Lyrics
11. TEARS AND SMILES
(Guitar Intro)
A few tears for the one I leave behind
A few tears for the ones I've known and loved
A few tears for the roses in the morning
A few smiles for the birds that fly on high
Don't let the tears in me run dry
Coming from a deep, dark well inside
What is that stillness that I feel?
Out of the shadows you appear
You're the one I've held so dear
Takin' a distance not getting too near
You're the one I hold so dear, so dear
It's a strange dance, an unusual song
A thousand words cannot convey
What a single tear might have to say
In gratitude it bathes the One
Melts away all facades and fears
Facades and fears
(Guitar Solo)
So don't let the tears inside run dry
So many rivers will they form
Tears and smiles for the life I've known
Places and people I have met
And for the road I leave behind
A thousand words cannot convey
What a single tear might have to say
So don't let the tears inside run dry
Many rivers will they form
Gathering clouds create a storm
Heavy weather will come and go
Water will flow and the earth will grow
A thousand words cannot convey
What a single tear might have to say
(Violin Solo)
A thousand words cannot convey, cannot convey
So don't let the tears in me run dry
Don't let the tears in me run dry
Don't let the tears in me run dry
Until I have to say good-bye.
