From: Jaco de Kruijf
I found a message of Joop schmit (schmit@bart.nl) here a week ago and it
contained the chords of Keepsake, the first song on the album Lamprey by Bettie
Serveert. As this album is, according to Joop Schmit and me too, fucking
brilliant I decided to find out the lyrics and put these two things together.
It is very hard though to find out lyrics to Bettie Serveert songs, but I think
I fairly succeeded. A few things are missing, but hey: nobody's perfect.
I hope I got everything right.
Many thanks tot Joop Schmit and of course Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie
Serveert. I wish everybody lots of fun playing it.
Keepsake
by Bettie Serveert
Wrapped up in blue
Painted by me and you
Some thought it's changed by the truth
We somehow keep smiling through
It's all we got instead
It sometimes feels so near
And then I reach out and it just disappears
Intro: Am G F (2x)
Was it something that I said
I feel so many moods
Written all across your head
They lie there two and two
It sometimes feels so near
then I reach out and it just disappears
Intro
I could smell the fallen rain
I know that's in the park
The kind of things you can't explain
I feel them in your heart
It sometimes seems so near
and then I reach out and it just disappears
Chorus:
Paint this day
Let's keep this one forever
Wrap it up inside your heart
Paint this day
For worse if not for better
Save it up 'till............ (?)
'cause that's why I sometimes stay awake
Pondering endlessly in reach of understance
Just for keepsake
Instr.: (?)
Intro
It sometimes seems so clear
and then I reach out and it just disappears
