lyrics

What do you see when you look at me?
Why don’t you see the possibilities?
What can I do when you walk away?
When you’re not around it’s so easy to say

Why don’t you say you love me?
Do you dream about me?
Why can’t I hold you in my arms
The way I’m longing to?
Why can’t I have you?

Well, I never learned how to read the signs
Are you playing around with this heart of mine?
I don’t know how to talk to you
When you walk in the room
I don’t know what to do

Why don’t you say you love me?
Do you dream about me?
Why can’t I hold you in my arms
The way I’m longing to?
Why can’t I have you?
Why can’t I have you?

Guess I knew right from the start
You would always have my heart

Why don’t you say you love me?
Do you dream about me?
Why can’t I hold you in my arms
The way I’m longing to?

Why can’t I have, why can’t I have, why can’t I have you?
Why can't I have you...?

Travels
by Crows Labyrinth

supported by 4 fans who also own “Why Can't I Have You?”

Here comes another distinguishing hidden gem Made in The Netherlands!!! Albeit rather more experimental, puzzling and piercing at times to my by far more conservative drifting taste, the album proficiently keeps its strong authentic focus and concept throughout 53 minutes, where the listener is constantly confronted with challenging enigma-inducing tapestries. And that's what really counts on "Travels" for me, well-done, Theo!!! And keep on droning!!! Richard Gürtler
