Magic 03:55
Magic Some days you feel the air get thick with magic and your dreams get fingertips touching reality The stars are smears of honey in the sky and your dreams get fingertips touching reality At once you find yourself with your heroes on the scene singing songs together like you once dreamed You didn't believe in magic but that moment was so real so heavy that you allmost could not feel Some days you feel the air get thick with magic and your dreams get fingertips touching reality The sun paints colored circles on the water and your dreams get fingertips touching reality You ran away from home and got lost in a foreign land One day a stranger takes your hand He tells you about Jesus and you don't know how to act but all at once his prayer brings you back to the arms of love to the arms of love to the arms of love... Some days you feel the air get thick with magic and your dreams get fingertips touching...

More 03:17
More This is in store... a weird white horse a black speckled horse ... and this is More a boy called More a boy called More They crossed my way in Tenessee then they passed me by in Joshua Tree they were allways cute and nice to see but they never saw me a boy called More on a weird white horse black speckled horse and a boy called More I saw them in the medows picking flowers make a fire at the midnight hours Before the sun announced the dawn they were allready gone I could spot them in the far away prairies read about them in the book of fairies I wonder if that horse is a stud or a mare... Why should i care for a weird white horse and a boy called More black speckled horse and a boy called More In a year with 13 moons in a year with a little more room Father time ... turns never into soon Underneath a blanket of stars i could see them comming from afar Once i a while dreams do come true they got me out of the blue a boy called More on a weird white horse black speckled horse and a boy called More a boy called More a boy called More black speckled horse me and More me and that horse we want More

Present 03:13
Present You're asleep upon my pillow and i am playing your guitar Please don't dream about the future I don't know if i want to follow you that far But today i am your present just me and this old heart of mine Let's not talk about the future Let the past be out of time 'cause for now i am your present and i guess that you are mine You laugh 'cuz i believe in Angels It makes you frown and raise your brows You say where doubt is there is freedom so i won't make you no vows But today i am your present... I was longing for a fairytale A prince to put me upon a cloud And here are you upon my doorstep telling me that that is not what love's about Well here am i , i am your present just me and this old heart of mine no one knows about the future past will allways be the past but we ara eachother's present so let's drink and have a blast Here's to the Present

Old woman’s song When i was a young girl i rambled and i gambled and i flirted with the cowboys so pretty young and fine I would never have a fear I would drink whiskey and beer and the bottles full of nectar from the fruits upon the vine So won't you open another bottle cause my throught is thirsty and dry i sure would like a taste of that whiskey one more time before i die Well i never had a husband never had a real hometown but the whole world was my lover when i drank a bottle down A party here and a party there a pair of kinky underwears and a pile of napkins next to all the whiskey down the stairs So won't you open another bottle ... I've done a lot of stupid things but i never wore a ring never found a man who was brave enough to try and be my king Still i kept looking for that prince to bring me fortune and good luck and thank God i had a bottle when again my heart got stuck So won't you open another bottle... And now i'm an old woman my life's a memory there's times i don't remember how things used to be But there ain't no shame or sadness for my life of drunken madness if i had a second go you know... i'd do it all again So won't you open another bottle...

Butch Cassidy I saw you play that banjo as if you played the fool moon itself You were singing a sad lovesong oohoohooh... and if i had some guts i wouls ask you If i could be your Sundancegirl would you be my Butch Cassidy? We could get out of the city follow the trail of the outlaws Yeah let's bail out you and me then i can be your Sundancegirl you could be my Butch Cassidy we braught a briefcase to a hotelroom and counted all our cash 10 000 $ on the floor on the bed 10 000 more We let it slide through our fingers and then taped it on your belly Never did i see so much money in my life but there was more gold in your eyes and more silver in your smile Oh let's go back to Independence just you and me and our guitars We could sleep under the stars again and i would be your Sundancegirl you would be my Butch Cassidy Sure i could be your Sundancegirl if you'd be my Butch Cassidy

Cinderella boots You were checking out I was checking in I was gonna have to face a lonely weekend in Berlin So with a heavy heart i went downtown I had a lot of spare time now and this is what found I found these black boots in my spare time then my soulbrother made them shine These boots won't fit when other girls try them No, i guess the Cinderella boots are mine So you were just a frog, you can't be mine I'm gonna kiss a real prince when it comes my time I've got a lot of patience, i can wait When my love meets my life these boots won't hesitate I found these black boots in my spare time then my soul brother made them shine These boots won't fit when other girls try them I guess the Cinderella boots are mine

The Road 07:32
The Road Shooting stars, boots and guitars long rides between the stations Loaded silence on the train then a magic conversation Somewhere between day and night we allways got it right Somewhere between day and night the doors went open at twilight A wizzard and a witch together on the road A wizzard and a witch and a gang of angels on the road I know it was your road but it could have been mine I enjoyed every minute, i never felt so fine Everything was so natural Straight down the line And we called aech other baby in one of your songs It sure felt like i found myself when i was singing along i was singing along... I know now i ain't leading the life that's meant for me I know i ain't seeing things that i'm supposed to see I'm just doing stupid things like most of us do but i'm getting sick&tired of it, what about you A wizzard and a witch together on the road A wizzard and a witch and a gang of angels on the road I know it was your road but i wished it was mine I enjoyed every minute, oh what a time

Windowshoppingtime again Don't fly your heart against my windshield Don't try to come inside that scarry field cause you'll get hurt and i'll be sad you'll make me feel like i'm real bad cause i'll say no and you'll be mad It's windowshoppingtime again I'll try and try and try I'll come inside, i'll look around but probably i won't buy no no, i'll just look around and then i'll have to go I'll give away some kisses but i'll never give my heart cause if it ain't love it ain't worth a new start and if it doesn't fit i won't go for it it should fit like a glove or it ain't real love an if it ain't real i'll say no deal It's windowshopping time again... So gentleman please protect your heart Don't put it in my hands it might fall apart cause i saw just what i want but i ain't got what it takes I said i'll buy, but he said don't even try It's not for sale, i'll leave you on this windowshopping trail So it's windowshoppingtime again...

Solitary wine I'd gotten sick and tired of waiting in vain I'd gotten sick and tired of missing the last train I'd been leading a life on a ball and a chain Allmost got used to missing that last train But boy in my daydreams you're allready mine and i'm finishing the last bottle of Solitary wine Over the years i learned how to drink my wine alone Some folks might think i've got a heart of stone Been crying my eyes out, out on my own Sometimes i wished i had a heart of stone But all of a sudden you were all over my mind I saw you wake up with that smile I'm finishing the last bottle of Solitary wine I'd had enough of wasting my chances I'd had enough of missed romances Allways a victim of the wrong circomstances No no more missed romances Cause all of a sudden you were all over my mind Boy in my daydreams you're allready mine and i'm finishing the last bottle of Solitary wine the last bottle of Solitary wine the very last bottle

Two Puppies 02:53
Two Puppies I'm sitting by the window in the dark and i'm feeling sad and weary life can be so hard how i wished i was two puppies i'd play together in the yard He's staring at the sealing in the dark Outside the little dogs are playing he can hear them bark If he could only be those puppies he'd play together in the yard Across the streat a boy comes out the door The girl who's staring out her window sees what she's been looking for They used to wish they were two puppies ... now they're not lonely anymore

Meantime 03:34
Meantime Snow kept falling like feathers and a feather fell upon the snow and i wished upon that feather in the snow that i could be the girl that you would like to get to know But in the meantime oh in that mean time another took my place and stole your heart away now some mean meantime is all that remains I went to the yard of inspiration to pick a song to sing to you and i chose the sweetest words to make that song fit to you and i just hoped that you would like it too But in the meantime... I saw a shooting star up in the heavens and i called your name as it passed by and i believed that shooting star would catch you eye cause at the same time you would look up at the sky But in the meantime... I used to say i'm naieve but i don't mind Well i guess i'm done with that i guess i'm done with that i'm done with that i'm done with that! Cause in the meantime, oh in that mean meantime another took my place and stole it all away i want that mean meantime to go away go away go

about

Ingrid Veerman Antwerp, Belgium

For my full BIO and Calendar, please visit my website

Most of the songs find their origine in the crazy adventures that she encounters and during her shows Ingrid likes to talk about how they came about.

And since the combination “singing & telling” tends to work out real fine on solo shows, Ingrid often plays her “naked songs” just by herself as singer songwriter.
