Green Green Eyes
1973, in 2017 vertaald als Groene ogen (De Neerkant)
Green Green Eyes
my love she needs not tell me
if I’m wrong or right
she cries when she is angry
when she’s happy she smiles
and when I say I love you babe
she says I love you too
and deep are the waters of her green green eyes
my love is like a rainbow
with colours everywhere
her breast is white as snow
and golden is her hair
and rosy is the smile she smiles
and silver are the tears she cries
and deep are the waters of her green green eyes
and when we walk she holds my hand
and if I talk she understands
she doesn’t speak too much
oh she is shy but she is wise
and I know that her love is true
she’s far away and I feel blue
I long to see the waters of her green green eyes
and when we love so tenderly
na na nana na
nana nana nana
and sweet her lips that whisper sighs
and soft her hands that tell no lies
and deep are the waters of her green green eyes

Nighttrain
riding on the nighttrain I wonder where I go
trying to write things down but things I just don’t know
watching people come and go and feeling all alone
wondering how my burning fear could turn me into stone
tell me tell me gently
is this train running down to my destiny
this girl in front well she is blond and that’s the only thing
she often smiles to give the best but my bird cannot sing
the soldiers selling dirty jokes and I can feel the cold
their laughter ’s like the rattling wheels that eat away my soul
tell me tell me gently
is this train running down to my destiny
the train speeds on and I look down and find the rail is burning
and then I realise once more: from this train’s no returning
I close my eyes they see no more for tears fall on my hand
and I know it’s no gentle rain that stone turns into sand
tell me tell me gently
is this train running down to my destiny
Sunshine
1973, in 2017 vertaald als Sunshine (De Neerkant)
Sunshine
cold cold cold
while the night is still ahead
gentle sleep I cannot find
but when I wake up in the morning
there is sunshine on my bed
I’m still on your mind
you said: everyone must give
just exactly what he is
I think I understand
but things go wrong my love
when man’s afraid to live
afraid to take my hand
so you took my hand and I loved
the wrinkles of your eyes
the sun was breaking through
and the light upon yor head
was the sunshine of your smile
yes you loved me too
we looked up into the sky
and then we kissed goodbye
I feel like a fool
someone’s waiting there for you
oh so long so long honey
you go your way and I go mine
there’s no other way to go
but when I wake up in the morning
there is sunshine on my bed
I’m still on your mind
oh so long so long honey
you go your way and I go mine
there’s no other way to go
but a song of love a song of sunshine
there is left behind
and I will sing this song tomorrow

Run Highway
throw out your key babe
throw out your line
can’t you see it’s me babe
it’s me please be mine
well I walked a long long road babe
and I had a long long roam
but now it’s time to stay babe
it’s time to stay home
run run highway
run till the end
but don’t you run my way
farewell my friend
run run highway
run till the end
but don’t you run my way
I’ve got no diamonds left to spend
you can hear people say:
ever keep on trying
but I can’t keep on flying
I’m tired out today
make me your food babe
and make me a bed
make me feel good babe
I lost the best friend I had
throw out your key babe
throw out your line
can’t you see it’s me babe
it’s me please be mine
send me a letter
spare me a dime
here I feel better
farewell this time
run run highway
run till the end
but don’t you run my way
farewell my friend
run run highway
run till the end
but don’t you run my way
I’ve got no diamonds left to spend
