lyrics

I am building a contraption
To catch my broken dreams
I really need to mend some, you see
And when I catch one
I'll wipe of the tears
And look for the Great Mystery

A band of hungry warriors
Was crossing the Great Plains
Looking for sanctuary
On the run since the day
The long railroad came
They were lost in the Great Mystery

On the Rosebud River
A man by the name of Crook
A general in the US Cavalry
Planned an attack
On the Cheyennes and Sioux
Unaware of the Great Mystery

Right on the frontier
Mr. Drinker Cope
Was doting on his discoveries
He was digging deep
For them Holy Bones
On his quest for the Great Mystery

Try to catch a fraction
Of all your broken dreams
I'm sure that you can mend some, you see
So, if you catch one
Just wipe off the tears
And look for the Great Mystery

about

Diftong The Netherlands

Welcome to Diftong’s heartfelt songs!

In 2022, after six albums with poetic songs on the edges of rock, country and folk, I decided the time was right to start something completely different: writing songs in Dutch. These Dutch songs will be released as single tracks and are accompanied by a blog (BOSGOD).

I sure hope that you enjoy my music and lyrics. Thanks for listening!
