Ashes
Music and Lyrics by Frank Almendra


I laid my head down
And closed my eyes
Please don’t waste me in the ground
Spread my ashes through the sky
A little on everyplace
That I loved to be
Save some for yourself
When you remember me

Do not anchor my soul
Deep in the ground
Set me free, ash in the wind
I see you around

Take a bit to the garden
Where the ferns like to grow
Where the pine tree used to be
Before the storm made it blow
As you walk by the shore
Gently open your hand
Drop some in the ocean
Let them mix with the sand

Do not anchor my soul
Deep in the ground
Set me free, ash in the wind
I see you around

Don’t forget my guitars
Sprinkle some over the strings
So they don’t feel alone
When my fingers are missing
Give a little to every child
Our three angels on this land
That’s what they will always be
Until we all meet again

Sideways

Sideways
Music and Lyrics by Frank Almendra

The day starts to break; I am on the road again
Another greyhound bus, another grey old town
Left behind.
The sun sets over the sea
Another day is gone and I’m alone
That’s how I’d rather be, since you’ve been gone
I’m collecting pieces of me.

I’ve been wandered sideways
And I’ve looked all over the place
Don’t know what else can I go
Without you
There’s no way back home.

With my arms open, I kneel and stare at the sky
Hopeless ‘cause I know
You’re the angel I had but now you flew by.

I’ve been wandered sideways
And I’ve looked all over the place
Don’t know what else can I go
Without you
There’s no way back home.

2 Steps to Heaven

2 steps to heaven
Music and Lyrics by Frank Almendra


There are few things that I believe in life
But love is the most important one
Don't know where I was going before you
It felt like god & the devil in the land of sun
Just like those Berlin angels you fell
And I took you in my arms
It’s so easy to do but hard to tell
But now I know I’m so close

2 steps to heaven, won’t you please just let me in.
Ready for you to wash my sins
Ain't no rolling no more dice
This game is over I’ve found paradise

Sometimes you get so close to things
But actually you can barely see
I realized that the things I needed most
Were all this times in front of me
I was feeling like a night without the moon
And you were the sun at midnight
I'm in a room completely full of Gas
You brought the flame to ignite

2 steps to heaven, won’t you please just let me in.
Ready for you to wash my sins
Ain't no rolling no more dice
This game is over I’ve found paradise

Beauty Within

Beauty within
Music and Lyrics: Frank Almendra


Lonely the nights I spent without you
Greater the pain I had to go through
Not knowing if you would be back someday
I had to let all my hopes fade away

Beautiful the moments we spent together
Changed were my life and heart forever
How lucky was I for you let me in
And to be touched by your beauty within

Bloodied was the sky by the evening sun
The smile of your eyes where it all begun
I’m on the outside, looking in
Shine on your beauty within

Sad was the day of your last farewell
Tearful were my eyes more than you could tell
But you had to leave to follow your dreams
Memories last much more than it seems

Miraculous is time that cleans everything
Painful was the wait for the healing to begin
Never I thought forgotten you would be
No longer wounded, just scars to remind me

Bloodied was the sky by the evening sun
The smile of your eyes where it all begun
I’m on the outside, looking in
Shine on your beauty within
