If you want to see it

© Geurt Franzen (tekst), Jos Strik (muziek)

if you want to see it, 

you’ll see it floating

a parachute against 

a sky of Van Gogh

focus on a rectangle, 

black without coating

a ditch in the grass that grows and grows

refrein

you don’t see it, do you

do you see it, do you

you don’t see it, do you

do you, do you

still there’s no landing 

but from a dream so sad

you awaken, from a dream 

of wasted bones

bones you dug up 

in a bad nights sleep

to be the only mortal at your own funeral

bridge

You don’t see it    do you?

the sparkling colors of Van Gogh 

You don’t see it    do you?

the blue sky of Van Gogh

if you want to see it, 

see the blue sky  

and nothing but the sky, 

beyond the doll’s heads

beyond the cross and the drama 

in all those eyes

and forget a freaky story, an opened grave
