SIDEWAYS
It’s often said, we can learn much more from failing
Than from winning, in the end…
Worldly wise, though the fortune tellers cards are not what we’d hoped for
Hearts or Knights….
We could leave it all behind.
Take or leave it, nothing ever worthwhile having comes so easy, honestly…
Then you left me behind, for the taste of a better world
& who could blame you?
Then you left me behind, for the taste of a better world
who could blame you?
I know your armor is built from heartache,
But you took my life & turned it sideways…

Love lies in the rain

Love lies in the rain
Time goes by so slowly now & your still on my mind
It was always the little things that got to me
Painting pictures of how things might have been…
Love is where you left it, even though you found it lying in the rain
& I can’t help this feeling, that maybe you’re still wondering how I’m getting on?
How I am…. How I am
It was only yesterday I found a letter you wrote so long ago
Heartache on paper….
A one way conversation & I had no right of reply
Love is where you found it, even though you left it lying in the rain
you can’t shake the feeling that maybe I’m still wondering how you’re getting on!
How I am…. How I am
I know you wonder how I am
I know exactly how you are
I know you wonder how I am
I know exactly who you are!

My whole world
I won’t forget, I can’t forget
Your words……
It’s been so long since I wandered down that street,
Where I cut myself, when I carved our names into that tree
& I can’t recall the last time I forgave myself,
It would save myself a lot of trouble!
I still hear your voice…..
Our little town, we ran around it so nonchalantly, even arrogantly
The question lingers, does your heart still belong to me
Don’t you know you’re killing me softly?
I’m still here, with your voice ringing in my ears
& playing on all my fears,
& I won’t forget as long as I live…your words!

Shaken & Stirred……
Rumour had it, that I would find her
Happy hour at the bar
But HQ warned me, there’s looks that could kill
‘Just don’t fall in love
Just don’t fall in love’
After some effortless conversation, the situation well at ease now
Cue cigars & martinis…
But back at the hotel, I’m distracted
Her eyes were Gems locked in a safe
Mission over, now I should leave….!?
‘Just don’t fall in love
Just don’t fall in love’
I woke up, on the Beach…
Somewhere down the coast
Her Machinations fooled me,
I was under a spell
At least she cut me loose…
‘Just don’t fall in love
Just don’t fall in love’

All went south

All went south
I don’t see you around here, much anymore
Dust stays on the ground here, just like around my front door
I don’t hear your footsteps, no not a sound you make
People say they see you around…but not me
I remember every word out of your mouth
Before it all went south!
My feet are black from the hot tar
Don’t look back, never got me that far!
We were clinging to the dashboard, sideways around every corner
I remember every word out of your mouth
Before it all went south!
It all went south, how did we let it?
It all went south, as much as I regret it…
It all went south….

April’s Fool
Skimming stones, kicking leaves
Aching bones, jumping creeks….
We were all of this & more,
We were all of this & more….
When I said ‘I loved you’ & you believed me
Well, that was not a lie….
It all went awry….

Here I am

Here I am
When you don’t know where you’re going,
Any road will get you there…
When you don’t know quite how to feel,
Fake it til you make it…
When you don’t know the rules,
Know that they were meant for breaking…
& when all seems lost, know you’ve been here before…..
Here I am, as alive as the day I was born
& there you are, questioning everything.….again
Mercy, my love come kiss me on the lips
And when push comes to shove, stand clear of the cliffs
Here I am, wide eyed as the day I was born
& there you are, doubting everything like you always do….
Yet Here I am!
