Lyrics
VERSE
Once upon a dream
life was filled with screams
you ran and caught me out
Once upon a day
leaves all drift away
you ran into the sand
Was it me ? was it you?
the enchanted feeling too
was it me? was it you?
don't cry
All the good al the bad
we reflect on times we've had
can we see
oh my my
what a world it could be
Blustery summer's day
parked into the layby
make two cups of tea
sit and play a game
the cheating mirthful way
you can open the can
CHORUS
Was it me ? was it you?
the enchanted feeling too
It was me! It was you!
don't cry
All the good all the bad
we reflect on times we've had
can we see
oh my my
what a world it could be.
bridge
dusky clouds one oxford day
lock in a box the mind won't say
fluttering around the chest has gone
oh we don't know
what could have been no
the future's unwritten dreams
CHORUS

Scared of Silence
03:19
|
|||
Running away out on the ocean
I feel a mistake in me
Now i do know, what i have been through
to feel like this
And then you went away
Can't say what you think today
like a jam pot, release the top and see
Once you came down, see me scared of silence
I know that you frowned again
Look at the trees, see what they see
and believe in me
I've got another chance
come with me we can dance
through the rough seas
into the breeze and feel me
Part 2
Today you are you
truer that true maybe you'll find a way
Cos you are you
No one else alive is you can have your say
Don't be sad its gone
give a smile thinking about what it was
You can run alone you can run alone
Fall in as you run away
Oh today
Fall in as you run away
Part 3
You will see all the things you need
not to live your life to please
then you will land at what they know
Hold on my hand, talk me the ocean
and feel how we stand today
I'm off the edge, come and lead forward
receive my grace

Love Within
04:32
|
|||
VERSE
Far away, in the sun
have their highest aspirations won
So I look up and follow their lead
If we wait for the win
all is ready we will never begin
I still look up and follow that star
Have i found love within?
Bridge 1
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate about that can dissolve
or hinder or control the firm resolve
of a thinking and determined human soul
is it wrong? Yeah its wrong
don't be long............
Verse 2
The future belongs to those
that can see the beauty of their dreams
and then find love within
Have i found love within?
Bridge 2
As soon as you trust yourself you will no how to live
wisdom summer up in two words, "wait and hope"
Nothing is imposisble inside you heart
Is it much?
Find yourself and you touch
All that's there is not too much
Is it love that we trust?
Don't be long.

VERSES
Don't let me die
Ask the question
Stop wondering why
the lack of direction
My bleeding heart is on display
As i sing this little song aloud to you
I was alone
found out somethings
of who I am
Despite others misgivings
So no i need some time aligned
Can the ego stand, when life provides a helping hand
Yes we all can stand and be true when facing satan's hand
Its you, so you scream
Its me, sit within and don't let me be
CHORUS
ahhhooooo
Come on down
from that cloud
Look in my direction
I know, you know
You know, i know
Its lonely
can be so lonely
Here on the ground

Willow Tree
04:38
|

Whisper one more time
There’s kindness in your eyes
Shimmered haze in waters rise
innocencemakes you wise
Your heart brings out the light
A gift so rarely seen
Like a diamond on the hill
Not for you or them to glean
Be still, let go
Summer sun makes your garden grow
Reach out, I’m warmed
You will be my willow tree
Distant lands too far away,
But from the moon you saw
A drop in the ocean wave
Or a leaf in a storm
There are too many hearts
In this world to warm
Open up don’t be afraid
Just to feel it as one.
Be still, don’t say
Summer sun highlights souls astray
Reach in, You’re strong
I will be your Willow tree
In time something else
Will reveal itself
Don’t fall
If your dreams are broken now
I can play this song
You can walk along
The path you shall retrieve
The light you have received
No It won’t be long
No it won’t be wrong
In your willow tree
|

Hold me down
04:22
|
|||
Hold you tongue,
Everyone can feel the pain of life
It won’t be long
The field of dreams is yours
But in the light, sit right down
And take a walk on the wild side
But it don’t seem right
Once again
The drop felled trickled breeze around your head
Count to ten
The darkness of the soul can shine some light
Be here now
And let us see the fire inside
I’ll take that ride
Cos its you
All around, the way you walk is run aground
So call me when I sleep and I’ll seel for you to
Hold me down
The furrowed brow of him don’t know
The reason why the thoughts, they go inside
Hold me down
One more day
Everything still seems so far away
Sit and pray
The silence deafens those who have more sight
Take her hand
And guide her to the other side
Its not my right
Blossom falls, illuminate the greyened foot tread scene
Out ahead, but mother always said the grass ain’t green
You have seen
The light fall on the other side
So go grab your high

Pygmy Holes
02:54
|
|||
When the sun hits the tree lined wall
you'll see the images on the wall
you'll see from the dark to escarpment of another world
from tiny mould, so big and bould
Walking through the dark and the narrow
into a vast valley of shadows
history on the walls
workers in the fields of calm wrapped up
yes they're free
Don't think you're world is the story
reach out grab the hands of the Pygmy holes
Yes they're free

The Liver Woman
04:48
|
|||
when the sun goes down
and the liver birds weep at their peak
all the deafening cries
will they go to sleep?
When the grass was green
and the sky was blue
could we work out
why blackness comes and succeeds
A city cries do they hear
the country might shed a tear
hearing all others fears
suffer inside so nothing hear is real
reach out and touch it can't you feel
we need to heal
Authorities frown
we're against the crown
one woman spoke out
"you'll not wear me down"
A city cries out they hear
the realisation's clear
spreading unwanted fear
breaking through the boundaries truth is here
a battle 27 years
its here.........
walk on with me
walk on with me

Weeping Angel

|

There's someone talking to me
There's people talking to me, oh lord
Why would it always read, that you can't ever be seen
There's someone talking to me
I always hear yet concede
its an author's malaise inside
and no one else can get there and so I hide
In the dead of the dawn
you wake up with a fright, a sight
oh in the dead of dawn
Will i always be frightened inside?
Oh lord
Why don't you come to me
then i'll stop to see
that your light doesn't shine anymore
Breathe away your tower of strength
I can look out in this day and feel my heart entwined
with light and dark aligned
Everyday it comes
wages a power struggle long
know it always saved a life for me again
bring the light let it shine evermore

Be there with me
03:19
|
|||
Don’t try to shoot a hole into me
I;m just trying to be myself can’t you see
But when the black dog comes around
Just stroke it to the ground
And it will show
What we know
People always want you to be there
Provide that happiness because you care
Those folks there they shoud know
Sometimes you need it for yourself
Don’t run away
See me today
Touch me inside
And I won’t hide
With you this way
I sit alone and write a song for you
Wen I’m singing I’m not worried what to do
Feeling fragile as a bone
Appear as tough as stone
So talk to me
Then you;ll see
Yeah talk to me now you can see
A thousand thoughts can be daggers into me
But through athousand thoughts one day you will see
Is this love for everyone
Or is there some for me
Can I open to see
Its meant to be
One more week drags on another year
There is no choice ubt love the face of fear
So be gentla here tonight
Hug and hold me tight
Then you can be
As meant to eb
Maybe we’ll see
Its meant to be
Be there with me

Step on
04:25
|

When the rooftop slides down the sinking ship
your bow is breached it founders at the hip
a city fades behind
a flock of birds elope entwined
Their eyes see the laces of your life
The world it crys,darkness parades
An old man singing yesterday
Skips off the waves
Where can she go?
An old man's eyes in young boys soul
sometimes my journey feels slow
should i stay or let it flow
On the bridge the captain calls
"will you step on the wire"
stay the course and step on board with me
So step on, step on the way with me
step on the path be free
as singing calls from far away
So lets learn step off the wire and turn
old pastures we can burn
but can we leave it all today?
only to lead a different way?

Dancing day
03:34
|
|||
When you're at home
business chatter on the phone
did you feel the love flow deep inside my heart
Worry lines procede
as you tell a story from the deep
in time you'll find in your mind its good for the soul
Oh juxtaposed is me
Do i stay or do i leave
chancing and romancing, what is fate?
Chorus
So free your mind cos we had our dancing time
and you know your heart's in tune with mine
So don't forget or regret we've said all there is to say
it will always be our dancing day
if ever you feel low
remember to let go
the bond is never broken with loving friends
Chorus
So free your mind as we had our dancing time
and you know your heart's in tune with mine
So don't forget or regret we've said all there is to say
it will always be our dancing day

Lucky Life
05:02
|
|||
Hearing a sound of the town where I was born
When do you think about home?
When is love clear?
When my soul disappears
down the road of fear
Am I wrong?
Be strong.
Everyone dance in the field of romance
Your mind in a trance. Is it real?
Will you ever see me being wild with a smile on my face?
Turn and walk away and I’m gone.
***************
Lucky Life
Your skins not gone your face is on your
Lucky life
The future’s there but you can’t see inside me
The demons of the past will always haunt us.
Even a taste of the true promised land
Get sucked in quicksand, its never dry.
Sweet melodies ringing out till I depart
You got to break my heart to come in.
Its made of stone.
Cos I need you
I convulse you
Recognise me
Right now
Don’t forget me
Recollect me
From a time when
I was love…..

Wise in the ways
03:55
|
|||
sing my Children sing
that is all you need to bring
What you sing is what you are
We're wise in the ways of a healing song
Be wise in the ways,, that's what you are
See the children sleep,
under stars, themselves to keep
Do we think of the have nots
Be wise in the ways of what you’ve got
We’re wise in the ways of what we are
Hear the people cheer
At the joy of a new year
Is there the joy in lands afar
Be wise in the ways of a distant star
Be wise in the ways of our distant sons
Be wise in the ways, that’s what they are
Freezing nights so still and blue
Family friends call out to you
life and years they come and go
Be wise in the ways of those alone
we're wise in the ways, don't be alone
At this time I hear you say
Where’s the joy in all these days
Well every week can bring the love
Be wise in the ways of a flame filled heart
Wise in the ways of what we’ve got
We’re wise in the ways of a healing song

Ride of life
04:16
|
|||
Once within your structured dreams of time
decanters to the brim with old red wine
It lasted so it's not for me to say
"come around and hear my fears today"
The guilt that bubbles underneath the core
when the inner imind and soul demands much more
oh thats the truth arrived
I must grow but how?
Don't know it now so....
Stay away
feel the eyes of others
Make way
Cos all the folks in life
who have so little but need so much
Such strife
The answer's got to be somewhere within me
Sit still
watch the clouds depart and see the signs
of how to rid the guilt and see divine
Teachers, Lawyers, farmers
We all need help you see
ask it now and see the truth in me
TO help others first of all you realise
all the pain behind the eyes could hypnotize
So serve the world today
by serving yourself with inner wealth
don't....
Stay away
be the light for others
your way
Feel the fear inside its ok
imindfully you'll tread the path then you;ll say
happiness inside will come
once we get on board
The ride of life
