Hello

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 10/11/2021. Gepost in From A to B.

Across the crowded room
I saw your bright blue eyes
Across the crowded room
I felt your pretty smile

Then you said hello
Hello hello
My knees went weak
Hello hello
Then you said hello
Hello hello
I just couldn’t speak
Hello hello
When you said hello

Then you looked at me
And you walked my way
Came right over here
Did not know what to say

Then you said Hello
Hello Hello
My knees went weak
Hello hello
Then you said Hello
Hello hello
I just couldn’t speak
Hello hello
When you said hello

Oh baby come closer
Take me in your arms and
Dance the night away
Oh baby come closer
Hold me oh so tight
And dance the night away

Then you said Hello
Hello Hello
My knees went weak
Hello Hello
Then you said Hello
Hello hello
I just couldn’t speak
Hello Hello
When you said hello
Hello

Look at what we got

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 06/28/2021. Gepost in Peace.

Like a snail without a home
An icecream without a cone
Like a beehive with no honey
Or the wallstreet broker without money
Like a tap without any water
A farmer’s wife without a daughter
I look at what is missing and feel a little funny

Hey you, look at what we’ve got
And not at what we have not

We got the spring
We got the wind blowing through the trees
We got the sounds of the birds and the bees
We got love

We got the sun
We got the roof and we got the bread
We got songs dancing in our head
We got love

Like the rider with no horse
Like nature that can’t take its course
Like the cow without her calf
Half of a twin without its half
It’s like the blind man without his dog
Or a city shrouded in smog
I look at what is gone and don’t feel very sunny

Shall we look at what we’ve got
And not at what we’ve not

We got the spring
We got the wind blowing through the trees
We got the sounds of the birds and the bees
We got love

We got the sun
We got the roof and we got the bread
We got songs dancing in our head
We got love

Like snogging without second base
Like living without your embrace
I want to see you and hold you tight
To kiss you and spend the night
Want to whisper sweet words in your ear
Wish I was there or you here
I hope that you are well and I will hold you later

So let us look at what we’ve got
And not at what we have not

We got the spring
We got the wind blowing through the trees
We got the sounds of the birds and the bees
We got love

Blues

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 06/27/2021. Gepost in Peace.

Pull up the drawbridge
Shut all the shutters
Retreat into my own little universe

In my mind there’s chaos
Thoughts running around
Feels like life is a curse

No, No Go away!
Leave me in peace
Though peace is what I really need to find
No, No Go away
I need this to cease
All this darkness in my mind

Birds are chattering
But all I hear is too much noise
Keeping me out of my sleep

The sun is shining
But all I see is too much light
Digging me up from the deep

No, No Go away!
Leave me in peace
Though peace is what I really need to find
No, No Go away
I need this to cease
All this darkness in my mind

Dream on

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 06/26/2021. Gepost in Peace.

Yalalalaya

What if I can not
What if I will not do
Am I enough
Is it enough I do
Caring enough
Daring enough for you
Sexy and smart
Straight from the heart for you

Dream on
Be strong

Clever and wise
Quite a surprise I am
Quiet concise
Dainty and nice I am
Pretty and clean
Smiling pristine I can
Faithful and kind
Complacent refined I can

Dream on
Be strong

Yalala

I am woman
I am free
Just back off
Don’t bother me
I am woman
Don’t pin me down
I am queen
I wear my crown

Dream on
Be strong
Dream on
Be strong

Yala

Not the car

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 06/25/2021. Gepost in Peace.

There is a knot inside my tummy
There is a pain in my old head
When I think about my problems
Or that mean thing someone said
As I stare at that white ceiling
All my worries overpower me
I feel so insignificant
While my monsters devour me

I try to calm myself
By remembering what I know
I look deep inside of me
To my quiet place I go

There’s something I forget from time to time
Love will conquer fear and make me whole
I am not the car, I am the passenger
I am not the body but the soul

I feel bleary-eyed and tired
There’s a pain inside my gut
My physique is out of order
By I can’t tell you what
While I wallow in discomfort
And hope and pray to get better
I feel my happiness slip away
To reveal a mood that’s bitter

I try to calm myself
By remembering what I know
I look deep inside of me
To my quiet place I go

There’s something I forget from time to time
Love will conquer fear and make me whole
I am not the car, I am the passenger
I am not the body but the soul

Home (live)

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 06/24/2021. Gepost in Peace.

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
Back to my roots
Back to my source
Back to where I came from

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I’ll let you know I’m well
Although I do not know
If you can read my writing

Don’t miss me or be sad
I’ll hold you in my heart
As I know you will too
In a while you’ll come
We can re-connect
Know that I am happy

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I’ll remember why I came
I’ll remember what I learned
And what I had to offer

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I’ll travel through the dawn
Towards the east
Towards the light

Late Bloomer (Radio Edit)

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 09/21/2020. Gepost in Late Bloomer.

I feared I would not fit
I’m not young and gorgeous
I just could not make it
One ought to be flawless

But somewhere inside me
There is this desire
I’ve tested and tried me
Can not put out the fire

I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer

I’m doubtful, uncertain
Afraid, quite unsure
I dropped the fire curtain
And followed the lure

I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer

Not all of us get a wake up call
Not all of us grab our chance
You don’t have to become 10 feet tall
Or have a whirwind romance
Listen to the voice inside
Know it isn’t all fantasy
If you haven’t truly tried
It will all be a fallacy

I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer

Simply a man

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 09/19/2020. Gepost in Single.

A Guru you are not
But a man with a beard
Donning a cape and a crown
The wisdom you have brought
The miracles that appeared
Have touched me deep down

You are a Father, an Artist,
the head of a clan
But all in all, you are simply a Man
Incomplete and unbalanced
Mixed up and confused
Moody and funny and often amused
Imperfect and Whole
Heart and Soul

You spread your light
Create warmth in my heart
But still you trip and fall
In your own right
You make fine art
And inspire all

(Bridge)
Stay with me and Share
Your sounds and your stones
Your symbols and your Lines
I will say a Prayer
For your skin and bones
To enjoy many good times

(modulatie)
You’re not a man of means
Yet Royalty you meet
And Gifts, and Talents too
You speak with Kings and Queens
Of what is incomplete
And who is leading whom

You are a Father, an Artist, the head of a clan
But all in all, you are simply a Man
Incomplete and unbalanced
Mixed up and confused
Moody and funny and often amused
Imperfect and whole
Heart and Soul
Imperfect and whole
Heart and Soul
Imperfect and whole
Heart and Soul

Dragonflies ft. Prequisite

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 09/19/2020. Gepost in Single.

Some day when the dragonflies fly
Some day when her time has gone by
Leaving the lake behind

Some day when the nymphs cannot see
Some day when het soul’s roaming free
Her spirit is not confined

That’s when our souls will dance forever
‘Round the fire together
We will colour the stars
That’s when our souls will dance forever
‘Round the fire together
We will colour the stars

Some day when the ashes blow by
Some day when she’s no longer nigh
She’s left us with all her grace

That day will be filled with light and love
That day we will reunite

That’s when our souls will dance forever
‘Round the fire together
We will colour the stars
That’s when our souls will dance forever
‘Round the fire together
We will colour the stars
That’s when our souls will dance forever
‘Round the fire together
We will colour the stars
That’s when our souls will dance forever
‘Round the fire together
We will colour the stars

No Regrets

Geschreven door Ellen Pels op 09/19/2020. Gepost in Late Bloomer.

Time is running out
Why are you waiting
Stop playing about
Your days are abating

You’ve got to move
You’ve got to make your dreams come true
No time to waste
So much to look forward to

Don’t be afraid
Just face your fears
Lots to evade
Better than tears

You’ve got to move
You’ve got to make your dreams come true
No time to waste
So much to look forward to

Have no regrets
No regrets

Your heart’s desire
Your soul will know
Your inner fire
Your eyes aglow

You’ve got to move
You’ve got to make your dreams come true
No time to waste
So much to look forward to

Have no regrets
No regrets

You’ve got to move
You’ve got to make your dreams come true
No time to waste
So much to look forward to
