about

A song about regret, hope to do things differently If you could stop time...

The story behind it:

I’ve been going to concerts for as long I can remember. While I was still single and living in Mechelen, I often took the train to Brussels. One cold winter evening I returned home and got off the train in Mechelen. I zipped up my coat, wrapped my scarf around my neck,… When I looked up I was the only person standing on the train platform.

But in the fain moonlight and the blinking platform lights my eyes caught an old man standing on the platform, watching as the train rolled out. It was such a touching sight, I could feel my heart break. I started dreaming, why was he there, why was he watching the train roll out… . I knew instantly he was going to be the main protagonist in one of my songs. But back then the right words just didn’t came to me… .

lyrics

Hold back Time

I am out here on my own again
Waiting by track number nine
See the last train go into the night
There is nobody left to see my pain
Only the first moonshine
Feel the cold wind freezes my sight

Come let the train slow down
Let you step on down
Into these arms of mine
Let me hold back time

Every day I can see the stars
Most of the times it makes me weep
Cuz I see your ways slip into mine
Every night I must fight my wars
The scars and pain cut to deep
While your last goodbye echoes my mind

Come let the train slow down
Let you step on down
Into these arms of mine
Let me hold back time


{Bridge}
Out on this lost railway
I’ll wait each and every day
Till you come home to stay
Into these arms of mine
Let me hold back time

Come let the train slow down
Let you step on down
Into these arms of mine
Let me hold back time

I am out here on my own again
Older than ever before
Take the last train off into the night
Into the night, into the night
Into the night
