Early bird - Day 8

Music: “Voz D’Amor” by Cesaria Evora, “Piano” by Dieuwertje Brecht
Mood: “Our Evenings (Janácek)” from “Piano”

It’s radical! I’ve been an early bird since Sunday last week. I get up at before 6 (or even at 5!) in the morning…. That is the time I used to go to bed at! Boy, how is it possible?? Hmm, I’ve been a night owl for such a long time (since I was a low-teenager, I think), it’s still so difficult to change the rhythm. I get up much earlier, but I can’t go to bed on time. That’s what I still have to learn…. Yes, LEARN TO SLEEP. Yesterday I heard that there was such a clinic where they train you to sleep. Perhaps I should try that too, if I really can’t.
Fox was a little confused at first, but now he seems to like it to take a walk earlier in the morning. Ah! That was it, he’s an early dog! That’s why he was never very willing to walk later in the daytime.

I Will Be Your Witness

I woke up this morning
Wishing you were here
Another cup of coffee
And then you appeared

A crystal vision
Shining through the rain
Smiling through my window pane
(….)

I will be your witness
That much I can do
I just want to tell the world
How much I’m missing you

I will be your witness
Don’t you know it’s true
I just want to testify
How much I’m loving you

Did you ever notice
Just what you mean to me
You’re the piece of the puzzle
That makes my world complete
(….)

Woke up this morning
Wishing you were here
Poured a cup of coffee
And then you appeared

Such a great adventure
I won’t let it slip away
You know I need you every night and every day

I will be your witness
That much I can do
I just want to tell the world
How much I’m missing you

I will be your witness
Don’t you know it’s true
I just want to testify
How much I’m loving you
