Friends [Oct 2019]

Lately I've been
Pushed by a wall
Full of faces I've
Never seen before
I feel like I'm
Supposed to conquer them all
But I don't have
The strength anymore
I'm always alone
But I've had friends
Who always helped me
Make a brighter day
Now that they're gone
My hope's at an end
And I just can't find
Another way
No, I'm done
Cuz there's no-one
Nobody else
Or at least that's how I feel right now
If I take my time, it'll all work out
When you're stressed, it's easy to forget
That the thing you need most is a friend
To be there
For you
Even when you're so scared
Or blue
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
Now I've had some space to think things through,
I know just what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna get out there and try again
To see if I can make a friend
To be there
For me
To make me feel alright
And free

I float down the river alone
Trying to find a place to call my own
And just then, I see you standing there
And I know, I won't go anywhere
Our eyes meet, our hearts beat faster now
We hold hands as we swim down the stream
I'll kiss you under the blooming bough
You'll show me that this is not a dream
Under the moonlight,
I'll hold you so tight
As fireflies surround us,
The glow they make astounds us
But it wouldn't matter if the whole world were gone
As long as you're here, that's where I belong
So let's stay together, until the end of time
Now and forever, you are mine
Dawn breaks, the sun shines
So brightly through the vines
But you're not here to share it
You've left me, I can't bear it
I sit here, waiting for your return
Alone again, for you I'll always yearn
But just then, I see you standing there
And I know, I won't go anywhere

Rising early to catch
That morning breeze
Deciding which way we will go
Cast our anchors
And sail the seven seas
To places we have never known
There's adventure
And treasure to be found,
Around this beautiful briny blue
And together,
We're gonna break new ground,
We'll see to that, I promise you
No matter what we face,
We'll keep moving, hand in hand
Someday, we'll discover
The promised land
Sailing t'wards uncharted seas
And new horizons,
Endless possibilities
Are waiting just for us
Despite the trials and tribulations,
We'll take them on with no fuss
It's a brand new age for man,
A time to explore,
Going all around the world
To see what we can find
And even when we're done,
There's always more
For someone else in time
(SOLO)

Misty [Nov 2019]

Misty-eyed, I'm running back to
The beach where she died
The tide is in and full of my tears
I can't believe it's been so long
The sun has set, on her and
Everything I love, I regret
Not spending time with her out here
I can't believe that she's still gone
(Misty) You were the love of my life
(Misty) But now my heart's full of strife
(Misty) It's getting harder to smile
(Misty) It's getting harder to justify
Living, without you
Can you forgive me? I don't know if I want to
Be
Winter's come, but even with the seasons,
I just can't move on
Her laughter's all I hear in my mind
I feel so numb, but not from the snow
Summer's here, but not even the sun
Can make her disappear
Her love is all I want to find
I feel so burned, but not from the glow
(Misty) You were the love of my life
(Misty) But now my heart's full of strife
(Misty) It's getting harder to smile
(Misty) It's getting harder to justify
Living, without you
Can you forgive me? I don't know if I can bear to
Be
(Misty) x8
(Misty) You were the love of my life
(Misty) But now my heart's full of strife
(Misty) And I can't bother to smile
(Misty) And I can't bother to justify
Living, without you
Can you forgive me? I don't know, but I'll find out
Soon

Say The Words [Nov 2020]
04:28
|

Say the words,
To calm me down
Say the words,
To lift me up
Say the words,
To call me around
Say the words,
To give me trust in you
I'm all alone
Without a home
There's nowhere to go
There's no-one I know
But there you were
And then I heard
My heart thumping,
Your fingers strumming
The strings of my soul,
It fills up the hole
Left behind
Deep inside
When you
Say the words,
To calm me down
Say the words,
To lift me up
Say the words,
To call me around
Say the words,
To give me trust in you (x2)
Your smile was bright
It lit the night
I felt so warm
Like never before
Then suddenly
You looked at me
And I knew
That we two
Had found a new romance
So let's take a chance
Today
Let's find a new way to
Say the words,
To calm me down
Say the words,
To lift me up
Say the words,
To call me around
Say the words,
To give me trust in you (x2)

I'd like to leave me alone
That my soul was in
Another home
I want to leave me alone
Sometimes
I'm often fine
Most of the time,
I'm quite tolerable
But there are days
When I get crazy,
And I become so insufferable
My words get dumb,
My thoughts even dumber,
God, I'm a pain
At best, I suck
At worst, I'm a fucker
Who drives myself so insane
I know it doesn't last for very long
But who cares when my brain keeps going wrong?
So when you tell me to leave,
I hope that you can believe
That I'd like to leave me alone
That my soul was in
Another home
I want to leave me alone
Sometimes
Yes, I'd like to leave me alone
Let me rot away
All on my own
I want to leave me alone
Sometimes
They say it's grand
They understand,
That's how people are
It's hard to know
How far that trust goes,
When I become so bizarre
Cuz every time I seem to come around
My mind keeps pushing me into the ground
Although you think I'm the worst,
You're really far from the first
To say I'd like to leave me alone
Wish my soul was in
Another home
I want to leave me alone
Sometimes
Yes, I'd like to leave me alone
Let me rot away
All on my own
I want to leave me alone
Sometimes
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
But then it all calms down and I'm okay
Enough to live and see another day,
Perhaps I'll still turn out mad
Yet I'm still kinda glad
That I'd like to stay by my side
Yes, despite it all,
My soul is fine
I want to stay by my side
Sometimes
Although I'd like to leave me alone
For now, it's good
Inside my home
I want to leave me alone
Some other time

Sleep [Nov 2019]

Go to sleep, little one
Rest your eyes, have some fun
In your dreams, til tomorrow
The sun'll rise, and good times will follow
You, wherever you will go (will go)
It's true, cuz in your heart you know (you know that)
That there's a beautiful world around you (around you)
With friends and family who'll surround you (surround you)
With love (with love)
Forever (forever more)
You'll stay (you'll stay)
Together (together)
Although things will be great someday
It's still another dream away
So till then,
Close your eyes
And go to sleep

Stolen dreams
Are they not what they seem?
Memoirs of days
Spent with you
Times gone by,
When our hopes dared to fly
Was it just a phase
Or was it true?
I'm alone again,
Sorrow with no end,
Wishing for the day
You would return
Oh, if only to prove you were real,
Show my heart could feel
Love like we once shared
That's all I yearn for
Life was sweet,
We would dance down the street
Kiss under the moon
Holding hands
But now it's gone,
How can I dare go on?
My world's full of gloom
With no second chance
So I try to sleep,
Though it can't be too deep,
Or else I'll hear you say
"Stay with me now"
But no matter how much, I will still awake
And my heart will break
Cuz you're no longer there
Please, help me out!
Stolen dreams
Are they not what they seem?
Memoirs of days
Spent with you

Staring through glass
Into distant space,
Seeing the stars
In all their wondrous grace
But there's just one
That's not a passing dream,
Our lunar love
Who sits across the sea
His face so pure,
His glow so white,
His beauty so magical,
It sweeps me away
I must be sure,
I must be right,
I must be rational,
That he will stay forever
Let me sink into
The sea of serenity,
Let him whisk me
Into the night
Let me drown
In the ocean of his love,
Let him hold me
Tight
On cloudy nights,
Are you so alone?
When no-one's there to
Watch your beautiful glow
Just give it time,
Cuz soon the skies will clear
And I'll be there
To see you once again, my dear
To gaze upon,
To stare so wide-eyed,
To bask with disbelief,
In all of your glory
Our love will live on,
Our dream will never subside,
Our hopes will one day weave,
The most amazing story
Let me sink into
The sea of serenity,
Won't you whisk me
Into the night
Let me drown
In the ocean of your love,
Won't you hold me
Tight
Let me sink into
The sea of serenity,
Let him whisk me
Into the night
Let me drown
In the ocean of his love,
Let him hold me
Tight

When Big Larry came 'round just to put him down,
SpongeBob turned into a clown;
And no one ever wants to dance
With a fool who went and ripped his pants!
I know I shouldn't mope around; I shouldn't curse,
But the pain feels so much worse.
Cause windin' up with no one is a lot less fun
Than a burn from the sun, or sand in your buuuuns!
Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget,
So listen and you won't regret,
Be true to yourself; don't miss your chance,
And you won't end up like the fool who ripped his pants!

It's misty in the mountains
I can barely see see a thing
But I'll still get up anyway
And do my best to sing
While I work on that there fountain
And grow new crops of food
Cuz it's the start of a brand new day
And I can make it good
For myself and everyone who lives around me
The people, the animals and the whole wide world
Despite the morning fog that still surrounds me,
I'll give it a whirl
It couldn't hurt surely
Let's till the field for cabbage,
And maybe carrots too,
But I don't mind if they're not up
There's plenty left to do
Like I'll play the goat at cribbage
Before the milking ends
He may not play it well, but
I'll treat him like a friend
Cuz I'm not the only one who really matters;
There's the people, the animals and the whole wide world
It's important to help each other in these matters
I'll give it a whirl
It couldn't hurt surely
It's misty in the mountains
I can barely see see a thing
But I'll still get up anyway
And do my best to sing
While I work on that there fountain
And grow new crops of food
Cuz it's the start of a brand new day
And I'll try to make it good

Seasons come
And seasons go
Wherever we may roam
Winter rain
And summer shine,
It always feels so fine
Just as long
As you are there,
I lose all my cares
Loving you,
Only you,
It's true
Falling leaves
And hollow trees,
Can never dampen your
Smile so bright
It gives the light,
That shines forever more
Through the months
And through the years,
You dry all my tears
Loving you,
Only you,
It's true
Spring or summer's not too hot,
Autumn or winter's not too cold,
When your love's the thing I got,
Life will never get too old
(Piano solo)
Lying in the evening breeze,
Laughing in the morning chill,
Loving fills our hearts with ease,
Loving gives us such a thrill
Seasons come
And seasons go
Wherever we may roam
Winter rain
And summer shine,
It always feels so fine
Just as long
As you are there,
I lose all my cares
Loving you,
Only you,
It's true
Falling leaves
And hollow trees,
Can never dampen your
Smile so bright
It gives the light,
That shines forever more
Through the months
And through the years,
You dry all my tears
Loving you,
Only you,
It's true
Loving you,
Only you,
It's true

I don't know
Why I feel the way that I do
When I'm around you,
I just can't explain?
It's hard to say
How you turn that frown of mine upside down
Yet it's so astounding
That I'll catch the train
And try to reach you
Before you close up today
I wanna beseech you
Then maybe you can see the way
The way I see you
Deep inside whenever you're there
I'm not lying, I swear
For you, I'll go anywhere
No matter how long it takes,
I'm more than happy to wait
Even though we're many miles away
I'll sing this song with a smile
I'll try to make it worthwhile
Just to see if you might feel the same
Oh darling, I would be so glad
If we could wander, hand in hand,
Then we could laugh all summer
Laugh and love all summer long
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
I'll try to reach you
Before you close up today
I wanna beseech you
Then maybe you can see the way

No matter how long it takes,

Oh darling, I would be so glad

Laugh and love all summer long
