Winterkaas

Die koue maak my sentimenteel. Aan die een kant haat ek dit en voel ek dat dit nie mooi gel met my deesdae head-on te veel idees en filosofie lees vibe nie. Mense beskou dit mos dikwels as weak en corny as jy verlang na lang vermiste mense, landscapes en plekke wat jy nog nooit eers gesien nie maar weet jy goed ken. Soos vanoggend toe die Jozi-view uit my nuwe woonstel voel soos die plaas waarop ek grootgeword het.

Ok - hier is sommer 'n liedjie wat ons almal seker uit hoërskool onthou om die sentimentele-winter-weakness verder te beklemtoon.

Ek hoop ek is darem nie die enigste ou wat soms so voel nie.

Omaha - Counting Crows

Start tearing the old man down
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Start turning the grain into the ground
Roll a new leaf over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Treading around in the gathered rain
Hey mister if you gonna on water
Would you drop a line my way
Omaha
Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
And get your money back at the door

Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll a new life over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister you dont want to walk on water
Cause you're only going to walk all over me
Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
And get your money back at the door

Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground
Roll a new love over
In the middle of the day there's a young man
Rolling around in the earth and rain
Hey mister if you're going to walk on water, you know
You're only going to walk all over me
Somewhere in middle America

Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
And get your money back at the door
Ooooh said omaha
It's Sunday morning
I'm coming home today.
