 A well 
By Leslie L. Kot 

A wells depth can´t be measured in feet
Rather by components - from the bottom to the top
Your life will not in years be estimated
More by how many parts you´ve succeeded in creating.

 Aron Nevil and his "Ave Maria" 
By Leslie L. Kot ( 10 01 2002 )
 


Look out – darkness coming up - it wants to shake hands…
Are you afraid ? Are you ready ? What did you do ? Did you ?…
What have you done ? Have you ? All that you`re supposed to do?…

Don´t think back – what`s done is done. Don´t judge yourself too hard…
Trust me. Today or ever. No matter what. Don´t ! Leave it to your kids…
They know how and what to do with it. They`ve got a future ! Do they?…

Have you seen a shimmering light on the horizon ?…

You are very romantic tonight – what´s wrong with you ?…


I beg your pardon – Aaaron Nevil is singing ”Ave Maria” ?…
How touching! He`s got that voice as a gift directly from GOD!…
Without change a planes at J.F. Kennedy, Heathrow or …Liverpool Street Station…

She says – I wish you could sing like him - then maybe I could fall in love with you…
But I can`t – and even if I could I wouldn`t – people just pretending – The God is only one…

Watch out! Darkness coming up! It is closer and closer…
Years goes by. But I see the light on the other side… COOL!!!

 Christmas Dream Blues 
Music & lyrics by Leslie L. Kot ( 2001 12 12 )


SLOWLY SNOWING - ON THE STREETS
FRIENDS ARE CALLING – SAYING THEIR NEEDS
CHILDREN AT HOME – AND THE BLUES IS HERE
I FEEL GREAT – CHRISTMAS IS NEAR

WITH YOU DARLING – HAND IN HAND
TOGETHER – TILL THE END
CHILDREN AT HOME – AND THE BLUES IS HERE
I FEEL GREAT – CHRISTMAS IS NEAR

OPEN THE BOX – UNDER A CHRISTMAS TREE
OPEN IT WIDE – THEN YOU WILL SEE

MY HEART - IS IN IT – TO ALL OF YOU
OH MIGHTY LORD – YOU KNOW IT`S TRUE
CHILDREN AT HOME – AND THE BLUES IS HERE
I`M SO HAPPY – CHRISTMAS IS HERE.

 Don't dry my sweat 
Music & lyrics by Leslie L. Kot

Don´t let nobody kiss your woman
Don´t let nobody carry your guitar
Don´t mess around with Harry Shippe Truman
Don´t even think to drive my car

Sorry I`m not that simple man
But I wanna give you my heart
You just have to take me as I am
`Cause I love you as you are

I don´t let nobody wear my hat
I don´t let nobody dry my sweat
I don´t let nobody clean my dirty nose
I don´t let nobody ride my silver horse

Sorry I`m not that simple man
But I wanna give you my heart
You just have to take me as I am
`Cause I love you as you are

 Glittering Star  
Lyrics by Leslie L. Kot
Music by Jacek Krzaklewski

The night is stretching out its hair
A glittering star is dressing itself
Inspired hope is waiting for its share
Ghosts are waking up around twelve

Twilight zone is spining on the water
Bumble-bee calming down the wings
A wave of the wind is lightly shorter
A song infiltration of broken strings

Ref.
We are deaf and we are blind
It`s all worthless we´ve left behind ?
We can`t hear and we can´t see
All that counts now is you and me

 The Blues - Forever 
By Leslie L.Kot - 2001

AND SO I ASK YOU TO CLIMB WITH ME
A MOUNTAIN CALLED - FOREVER
LIKE SUNDAYS USED TO WALK TO THE CHURCH
LIKE CAMELS WALK THROUGH A SANDSTORM
LIKE SEARCHERS REACHING THE TRUTH
LIKE THE SAINTS GO TO HEAVEN

FIND YOUR OWN PLACE
FIND IT ON THE SHINING SIDE OF THE BLUES
THEN YOU DON´T DROWN - THEN YOU DON´T

AND SO I ASK YOU TO FILL ME UP
WITH UNCONSCIOUSLY - ENDLESS PLEASURE OF A SOUND
LIKE A BROKEN MATCH LOVES THE FLAME
LIKE A DRY LAKE LOVES ITS WATER
LIKE AN EVENING LOVES A SUNRISE
LIKE MY TEAR LOVES YOUR SMILE
THEN YOU DON´T DROWN – THEN I …DON´T !!!

 Once more - before...
Leslie L. Kot ( jan 2002 )


I`d like to sit on the rainbow just like a kid
I´d like to have some fun like I always did
I´d like to laugh the whole night and day
I´d like to play again on the milky way

Where has all that fun gone
The colours I´ve been sitting on
Where has that big smile gone
I´m a runaway for every one


The full moon in my eyes, feeling blue on the shore
Oh Goodness - take me to the paradise , once more – before…


I want to see things I thought I couldn`t ever see
I want to hear words - nobody ever said to me
I want to give presents which no-one ever recived
I want to offer a faith in which nobody believed

Where have all the visions gone
All those words I´ve heard at dawn
Where have all the dreams gone
It´s a bitterness for every one ?

The full moon in my eyes, feeling blue on the shore
Oh Goodness - take me to the paradise , once more – before…

The full moon in my eyes, a hope on the shore
I want to have it all again , just once more – before…

 Woman in the bathroom
Music & lyrics by Leslie Kot ( 01 01 2002 )


Woman in the bathroom, keyhole out of sight
Towel is all around her, prepared for the night
Suddenly she comes out - her laugh is irrepressible
Graceful moves making my resistance irresistible


Ref.
The woman is an angel, sometimes with wet hair
The woman in the bathroom, cool – when she`s there
An hour or two - it is sweet to wait for her
The woman in the bathroom in my head there is a big blare

She makes herself glorious, her dress is irreproachable
Asking for champagne – step is a little bit irresponsible
High heels on her feet – almost ready for the show
I´ve got a business call - sorry darling I have to go

Ref.
The woman is an angel, sometimes with wet hair
The woman in the bathroom, cool when she`s there
An hour or two - it`s sweet to wait for her
WELL ! That`s my wife and not an au pair !

 Made From Pain
Lyrics by Leslie L.Kot
Music by Janusz Konefal

I don´t know why- not anymore
What´s right or wrong - I just feel sorrow
Any day,any time, any hour
There is nothing I can change
I ain´t got that power

Tell me colours you like - I´ll give you a rainbow
Don´t burn bridges between us
Just ”be” and don´t cry
See time from a distance
What happend is past
But I´m in love and I know why.

I´m in love again, in love with you
That's the only truth for the past 500 years
Could it be you - or maybe that´s you
The man has always cried the same tears.

Mona Lisa, is her name
She´s that bridge, made from paint
Made from love
Any day,any time,any hour
There is nothing I can change
I ain´t got that power…
