Home In Your Embrace ('00)

You make the sun come out and shine
You tell the rain when to pour
You send shivers down my spine
I cannot live without you anymore

Far away from where I first saw night and day
I may be completely out of place
But if you hold me in your thoughts
I will be home in your embrace

You make the winds whirl and blow
You tell the seas when to change their tide
You let my heart overflow
I cannot disappear and hide

Far away from where my first footsteps were set
I may be running around without a trace
But when you hold me in your arms
I will be home in your embrace

I sing your name into the Amsterdam night
Love finally has a face
Although you are out of sight

Soon I will be home in your embrace

You are as rare as true as forever love
Your breath and voice fill my hemisphere
You are the hand that meets my glove
I sense and miss you everywhere

So far away from my roots and where I live
I may be a little bit out of place
But as long as you hold me in your heart
I am home in your embrace

(Amsterdam, March 2000)

when you are in love with an Acle girl"
