ITS RAINING (IN MY HEART)                               

 

I STAND ALONE BENEATH THE STARS

 

STEPPING STONES OF TIME LIT FROM AFAR

 

WALK AN ENDLESS ROAD WITH NO ABODE

 

NO PLACE TO STOP, NO WHERE TO GO

 

CHOROUS

 

ITS SO HARD WHEN WERE APART

ITS RAINING IN MY HEART

ITS SO HARD WHEN WERE APART

ITS RAINING IN MY HEART

 

 

ANCIENT TREE OF OAK YOU STAND SO TALL

 

STRONG LIMBS ADORNED WITH GREEN AND GOLD

 

WHEN THE  LONG DARK NIGHTS BRING IN THE COLD

 

LEAVES THAT FLOURISHED CLOAK THE FORREST FLOOR

 

CHOROUS

 

 

AN EMPTY ROOM , A PICTURE ON A WALL

 

ECHOED SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER FILL THE HALLS

 

A VIVID MEMORY FLASHING THROUGH MY BRAIN

 

I KNOW THAT YOU’L RETURN AGAIN SOME DAY

 

CHOROUS

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Forever.                                    

 

 

Golden      ray     of   sunlight   on   your   face,

Paints   a  smile    forever,  smile forever

 

Living,  leaping,  running   mile   on    mile,

A   test     of   time    together,   time together.

 

Chorous.

Bitter   sweet,   Sunday    treat,   you  got  the   cream, 

 Ive  got   the  meat

Aces high,  pie  in  the  sky,  if you spread  your  wings,

then you  will fly,

 

Walking  in  the   rain   alone,  cold  and  dark , 

But  still   I’m  not   alone,  not alone

 

The light that shines ahead  will  always 

Take  me back,  where I belong, I belong

 

 

The   only     thing     I’d     ever     want    to    change,   

Is   may be   time,  may  be  time

 

See  every  moment  once again

As yours and mine, yours and mine

 

Chorous

 

Golden  ray  of   sunlight   on   your   face,  paints  a  smile    forever.

THE ALCOHOL BLUES

I FOUND THIS NOTE PINNED TO MY DOOR, IT SAID

CHOROUS

 

I DON’T KNOW WHERE IM GOING, I DON’T KNOW  WHAT TO DO

I NEED DIRECTION, SOMEBODY SHOW ME THE WAY

 

WELL ANOTHER DROP OF WHISKEY,IT L SOOTHE MY TROUBLES AWAY

 

 

ROLLED HOME THIS MORNING AT HALF PAST EIGHT

HAD WORDS WITH THE BOSS MAN, HE KINDLY SHOWED ME THE DOOR

 

SAID IF YOU CANT KEEP TIME SON, YOU AINT GOT  YA JOB HERE NO MORE.

 

 

CHOROUS

 

IVE BEEN EVICTED, ARREARS IN RENT

 

NOW IM LIVING IN MY TWO MAN TENT

 

IVE REACHED ROCK BOTOM, AS LOW AS A MAN CAN GO

 

MY DOG DIED OF SHAME, I GUESS HE DON’T LOVE ME NO MORE

CHOROUS

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Catch The Whirlwind

 

 

 

Look at all the people passing by

Ever wondered where their going

Have you ever wondered why

 

Watching every body running round

Looking for that certain something

Something never to be found

 

CHOROUS

Catch the whirlwind, Stop the tide

Make a difference baby long before you die

 

Little beads of rain are running

gently down my window pain

Into the deepest ocean then the

sunlight brings them back again

 

Can you look me in the eye

and tell me baby when you die

you’ve lived your life and not a lie

nothing spared or compromised

 

CHOROUS

 

Sitting here just wondering

The finest  things that life can bring

Distant Storm clouds gathering

A path to tread or song to sing

 

All the pure things in a life

Can not be bought or stolen

Every things for you and me

Remaining to eternity

 

CHOROUS

REPEAT 1ST VERSE

 

 

 ----------------------------------

 

 

 

MOVEI’N  ON.          

LOOKING   THROUGH   THE   YEARS  OF  HAPPINESS  AND  TEARS

                                                                                                           

THE   HIGH’S   AND   LOWS   OF   LIFE   THAT   COME   OUR   WAY

                                          

IT’S   HARD   TO   UNDERSTAND   WHEN   LIFE   DEAL’S   A   BOGUS

 

JUST   WHY   THE   DECK   OF   CARDS  WON’T  RUN  YOUR  WAY

 

CHOROUS.

SO   I’M   LACEING  UP  MY  BOOTS  N’   TEARING   UP   MY  ROOTS

   

I  WON’T  LOOK  BACK  AS  I  WALK  THROUGH  THE  DOOR

 

TRY   TO  UNDERSTAND  THAT  I  NEED  THAT  WINNING  HAND

               

AND   I  KNOW  I  CAN’T   BE  WITH  YOU ANY   MORE

                                                                               

AND   I  KNOW  I  CAN’T   BE  WITH  YOU ANY   MORE

 

 

SO  ONE   YEAR   PASSES  BY   ITS   AMAZING    HOW   TIME   FLIES

                                                                                                      

IVE    TRAVELLED   MANY    MILES    BUT    MADE    NO    GROUND

                  

SUNSHINE      COLOURD       RAIN       A     SEARCH       FOR    GOLD    IN     VAIN

                                                                                                         

AS    THE     WORLD    REVOLVES         HORIZONS    STILL      UNFOLD

 

 

CHOROUS.

                                                                                         

IN    THE    TIME    IV’E     BEEN    AWAY   THERE     HASN’T    BEEEN      A    DAY

                                                                                                                                            

WHERE    MY    THOUGHTS     THEY       HAVE N’T     DRIFTED     BACK      TO    HOME

                                                                                     

THE    PATH   I     SEEM    TO    TREAD    ALWAYS    LEADS    ME    STRAIGHT    AHEAD

                                                                                                                

WITH     NO    TIME    TO    REFLECT        ON    THINGS    IV’E       KNOWN   

 

 

CHOROUS.

                                                                                           

LOOK      IN     TO    YOUR       LIFE     SEE     THE     GOOD     AND    SEE    THE     STRIFE

                                                                                                                                           

MAKE        SENSE      OF     ALL        THE        THINGS      THE       WORLD     HAS  THROWN               

                                                                                                 

IF      YOU     CAN    UNDERSTAND      THEN      YOUV’E     DRAWN     A    WINNING     HAND

                                                                                                                              

AND      THEN        BEGIN          YOUR       JOURNEY        BACK      FOR      HOME           

 

 

CHOROUS.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

WATCH THE WALLS

 

 

                                     

Tried to make it on my own ,  

                           

Tried to fight it all alone

                                 

Never tried to say good bye

                                                           

Never stopped  to  wonder why

 

CHOROUS

                                                                                           

Made a rod for my own back,   Rode the train clean off it’s track,

                                                                           

Sailed a ship to hell and back,  Gave myself a heart attack

                                                                                                                                          

Watch the walls come tumbling down,  tumbling down 

 

                

 

                                     

Now its gone, its flown today,

                                   

Didn’t like it too much anyway,

                               

Disappeared in to the night,

                                    

Out of mind, not out of sight.

 

CHOROUS.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

CLEAR WATER                                

 

SOMETIMES IN MY MIND             I FIND IT HARD TO FIND

        

THE RIGHT THINGS TO SAY OR DO

                                                              

LIKE A LIGHT             SOMETIMES I’M NOT SO BRIGHT

                                                           

I THINK I MAY    NEED A BETTER FUSE

 

CHOROUS

 

SPEND MY DAYS        LOOKING THROUGH THE HAZE

                                                             

ALWAYS TRYING TO GET A BETTER VIEW

                     

AS TIME GOES BY          I START TO REALISE

                                                                                       

THE WATERS CLEAR SO I CAN SEE THE TRUTH

                                        

 FORGET THE PAST          NOTHING WORTHWHILE EVER LASTS

                                                                                                         

 LIVE TODAY                   TOMMORROW COULD BE YEARS AWAY

                                                                                                              

 HOLD YOUR GROUND       IF YOUR NOT LOST YOU CAN’T BE FOUND

                                                                                 

 GET FIRST PLACE  BEFORE YOU  START THE RACE

 

 

                                                             

SOMETIMES  WHEN I’M DOWN           NO ONE SEEMS TO BE AROUND

                                                                                                                         

TO LEND A HAND     AND HELP ME ON MY WAY

                                                            

THE  LONGER THAT I STAND        THE DEEPER I SINK IN THE SAND

                                                             

I NEED A HOLD  TILL    I SEE BETTER DAYS

 

CHOROUS

 

SOMETIMES WHEN I  SEE          A  FACE  THAT’S SMILING DOWN ON ME

                                                                                   

THE LIGHTS COME ON      TO BRIGHTEN EVERY DAY

                                                    

SOUNDS AROUND MY EARS     MAKE LIGHT OF THE YEARS

                                                                                    

BLACK AND WHITE MAKE     MANY SHADES OF GRAY

 

 

 

CHOROUS

“Sugar Tree” 

 

 

Morning light  breach the darkness

Another day for the Living tree

Climb on to the highest Branch

Takes you  where you want to be

 

Chorous

                     

Let me take you on a journey

To a place that holds no foe

Where the sugar tree is sweeter

And the chains of life don’t take their toll

 

 

Feel the breath of the dawn upon you

Sudden chill at the break of day

Take  a trip  to the other side

Find yourself in another way

 

Chorous

 

Cast adrift on the open water

The four winds are  your destiny

The rolling seas caress  the shoreline

Clean the sands  of yesterday

 

Chorous

 

 

 ------------------------------------------------------------

 

WALK IN THE PARK                           

 

 

SMELL     THE       SMOKING          CIGARETTE

WATCH      IT           BURN        DOWN      TO     THE      BROWN

 

DRINK        YOUR    BOTTLE      HAVE      A     BET      

WATCH       THE       SMOULDRING        SUN      GO      DOWN

 

SEE        THE       COUPLE      HAND     IN      H AND

SHARE   AN   ICE CREAM     ON    A    BENCH  

 

WONDER      IF        THEY     UNDERSTAND

                                                                        

COULD   THEY     EVER        COMPREHEND

 

 

CHOROUS

                                                                                            

WATCH      THE      BIRD      HE        FLIES     SO        FREE       

                                                                                                  

WITHOUT         A       CARE       FOR       YOU      OR        ME

                                                                                                                   

THESE        ARE          THE       THINGS         THAT       I       CAN    SEE

                                                                                        

WHEN        IM       WALKING         IN        THE        PARK

 

 

SKATERS         GLIDE     ON      ICE         WITH         EASE

LANDSCAPE        IN       A      WINTER        GRIP

 

GRAY         HORIZON       ETCHED      WITH     TREES

SEE     THE        PEOPLE        SLIDE       AND       SLIP

 

PLASTIC     BAG       FLIES       THROUGH    THE      AIR

UNTILL    IT       FINDS         ITS           SELF        A        TREE

 

OLD       MAN        SITTING          IN      A         CHAIR

TAKING         IN        THE       WINTER     BREEZE

 

CHOROUS

 

HEAR     THE      LAUGHTER        SHOUTS        AND      SCREAMS

SCENT       OF         FLOWERS    SMELL     OF       CHIPS

 

WATER         BLUE         AND        GRASS     IS     GREEN

ORANGE         PEEL     AND      ORANGE     PIPS

 

MUSIC        PLAYING         PEOPLE        DANCE

SUNNY         SMILES       AND      ROSEY        CHEEKS

 

IF      ONLY       I     HAD         HALF    A       CHANCE

THINK    I’D    COME      HEAR      EVERY        WEEK

 

CHOROUS & REPEAT

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

It Dosn’t Matter          

 

RUNNING LATE , CAN’T BE BOTHERED

SHOULD I STAY,SHOULD I GO

KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEATHER

THEY SAY IT COULD RAIN DON’T YOU KNOW

 

 

CHOROUS

 

TWO STEPS BACK AND ONE FORWARD

PLEASE DON’T RUN IN THE HALL

PULL YOUR WEIGHT AND PUSH TO THE LIMIT

WATCH YOU DON,T STUMBLE AND FALL

 

CHOROUS

 

BLACK AND WHITE LIES IN THE PAPER

SQUARE HEA,  HAS TO ROLL

IT NEVER APPEARS  LIKE YOU WANT IT TO BE

IT DOSENT MATTER AT ALL,  AT ALL

 

 

CHOROUS

 

TAKE YOUR TIME, GET A MOVE ON

DON’T WAIT FOR THE HAMMER TO FALL

GO BARE FOOT, PUT YOUR SHOES ON

NOT FOR ME BUT FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS

 

 

CHOROUS

 

BITTER PILL BUT EASY TO SWALLOW

FILTHY STRAIGHT CLEAN ROUND THE BEND

LEVEL HEAD, EMPTY AND HOLLOW

CIRCLES BEGIN WHERE  THEY  END

 

 

 CHOROUS
