Engele Om Ons

Engele Om Ons
Steve Hofmeyr
Inleiding
Ek gee nie rêrig om hoe laat nie.
Ek sal beter voel as jy net kom.
Ek weet nie hoekom bly ons kwaad nie.
En die ure wat ons mors daarom.

Want die wêreld doen sy ding.
Met of sonder ons daarin.
Dis net ek en jy wat hier bly staan.
In elke uur se vrees, kon ek in jou arms wees.
Maar ons verkies om ver te staan.

Ek staan hier, en jy staan daar.
En alles wat ons wil, word deurmekaar.
Waar's die engele om ons?

En die son trek heeltyd water.
En die ure wik en weeg.
En ons liefde wat 'n see was.
Lyk so baie anders leeg.

En die son trek heeltyd water.
En die uurglas loop hom leeg.
Was my hart vir jou te lig gevind.
Toe die engele dit kom weeg.

Ek lees jou in my leë kamers.
Daar's vere op my ou matras.
Ek wens ek kan dit als verander.
Toe engele nog om ons was.
Want die wêreld doen sy ding.
Met of sonder ons daarin.
Dis net ek en jy wat hier bly staan.
In elke uur se vrees, kon ek in jou arms wees.
Maar ons verkies om ver te staan.
Ek staan hier, en jy staan daar.
En alles wat ons wil, word deurmekaar.
Waar's die engele om ons?

En die son trek heeltyd water.
En die ure wik en weeg.
En ons liefde wat 'n see was.
Lyk so baie anders leeg.

En die son trek heeltyd water.
En die uurglas loop hom leeg.
Was my hart vir jou te lig gevind.
Toe die engele dit kom weeg.
En die son trek heeltyd water.
En die ure wik en weeg.
En ons liefde wat 'n see was.
Lyk so baie anders leeg.

En die son trek heeltyd water.
En die uurglas loop hom leeg.
Was my hart vir jou te lig gevind.
Toe die engele dit kom weeg.

Angels Around Us

Angels Around Us
Steve Hofmeyr
Introduction
I don't really care what time it is.
I'd feel better if you just came.
I don't know why we keep getting angry.
And the hours we waste on it.

Because the world is doing its thing.
With or without us in it.
It's just you and I who stand here.
In every hour of fear, I could be in your arms.
But we prefer to stand far apart.

I'm standing here, and you're standing there.
And everything we want is messed up.
Where are the angels around us?

And the sun is constantly drawing water.
And the hours weigh and consider.
And our love was a sea.
Looks so much different when it's empty.

And the sun is constantly drawing water.
And the hourglass is running out.
Was my heart too light for you.
When the angels came to weigh it.

I read you in my empty rooms.
There are feathers on my old mattress.
I wish I could change it all.
When the angels were still around us.
Because the world is doing its thing.
With or without us in it.
It's just you and I who stand here.
In every hour of fear, I could be in your arms.
But we prefer to stand far apart.
I'm standing here, and you're standing there.
And everything we want is messed up.
Where are the angels around us?

And the sun is constantly drawing water.
And the hours weigh and consider.
And our love was a sea.
Looks so much different when it's empty.

And the sun is constantly drawing water.
And the hourglass is running out.
Was my heart too light for you.
When the angels came to weigh it.
And the sun is constantly drawing water.
And the hours weigh and consider.
And our love was a sea.
Looks so much different when it's empty.

And the sun is constantly drawing water.
And the hourglass is running out.
Was my heart too light for you.
When the angels came to weigh it.
