I have No Answers (a song) - 02/10/20 11:33 AM
Hi everyone.
https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/no-answers
'No answers' is my newest song. It's about love, but not just that. I have no answers how to describe it
The song starts with the chorus. I did this after hearing on the radio that young people have less patience to wait for the 'surprise' in the song, the chorus mostly is. They want it right away, otherwise their concentration will disappear. So there you go; throwing away your surprises right at the start! But I have built in some extra surprises in the song and the lyrics...
It was Stefan Nachtsheim again who helped me getting the lyrics in proper English. We had a lot of discussions about some words like 'cozy' or 'cosily'. But being a Dutchmen, I was as stubborn as can be. Yet we managed to succeed (with the help of his wife). That's what I like about them; their patience. Thanks Stefan and Maha!
I hope you like it, but let me know if that's so, or tell me about the terrible mistakes I've made. I will honesty listen to you,
Hans Berkhout

The lyrics:
Chorus
I've got a lot of words that could please you
And I can see what mood you're in too
But if you could ask me, is this what love does?
I have no answers for us
I was musing this morning in my bed
My thoughts swirled around in my head
but then felt your body, soft and warm
and so cozy against my arm
It makes me happy when you lay so sweet,
softly purring under my sheet
And these are the moments, I feel so clear
They won't last long but are so dear
Chorus
And I've got a lot of words that could please you
I can see what mood you're in too
But if you could ask me, is this what love does?
I have no answers for us
Solo
Chorus
Yes I've got a lot of words that could please you
And I can see what mood you're in too
But if you could ask me, Is this what love does?
I have no answers for us
Your eyes are blinking when you're feeling good
And you're always purring when I serve your food
But when birds pass by you become a wildcat
Then I come in to calm you on that
Chorus
'Cause I've got a lot of words that could ease you
And I can see what mood you're in too
But if you could ask me, is this what love does?
I have no answers for us
I have a lot of words that will please you
And I can see what mood you're in too
But if you could ask me, is this what love does?
I can only tell what it does to us
