Altijd Sax

Intro

Verse 1

I wanted to learn piano

like rain against the glass

my fingers above silent keys

but it never felt quite right

(Play with me... the way I can’t myself...)

Verse 2

I wanted to hear the strings sing

like wind in ancient branches

but my hands had lost direction

they couldn’t reach my heart

Verse 3

I heard cello in my thoughts

saying things I never could

but my back stayed straight, shut tight

the sound stayed at the root

Verse 4

I tried to build some rhythm

tight, precise, and full of mind

but the beat kept folding inward

it never fit my hand just right

Chorus

Still, I always return

to what I’ve known for years

the sax that always speaks to me

when I can’t find myself in others

Bridge

so many voices in my head

so many tones inside my heart

but only that one breath of brass

is where my joy will always start

Chorus

Still, I always return

to what I’ve known for years

the sax that always speaks to me

and when I disappear, it's him who brings me home

Saxophone Solo

Chorus

Still, I always return

to what I’ve known for years

the sax that always speaks to me

and when I disappear, it's him who brings me home

Outro

always sax

only sax...

always sax

only sax...

always sax

only sax...

...and that is enough
