lyrics

The end of summer marked a change
The neighbors they are acting strange
Behind closed curtains they watch the street
Possessed by suspicion as decreed

There's a paper tiger on the loose
Slam the door is what he boosts
He views the world in black and white
Nothing between wrong and right

Winter came with a moon
That soaked the world in a cruel light
It drained the color from its face
Austerity in white

Met a hapless man in the fall
Selling homeless papers in the cold
And I haven't seen him for two months
I can only hope he's safe and warm

Winter came with a moon
That soaked the world in a cruel light
It drained the color from its face
Austerity in white

There's a cruel moon in orbit
For wayward immigrants
There's a cruel moon in orbit
For hobos, vagrants, bums

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!
