words
My heart…
…on paper!
Lyrics
When Darkness Falls
The candle light flickers dim
No hope in sight, I’ve searched within
I can’t see a light out of my window
And you can’t see through my walls…
When darkness falls
When darkness falls
The flame is fading out of sight
The shade creeps in now, black and white
I can’t see a light out of my window
And you can’t see through my walls…
When darkness falls
When darkness falls
From the distance you can’t see
The light that dims inside of me
And if you shine a torchlight in my soul
You’ll realise, that you can’t see…
When darkness falls
The candle light flickers dim
No hope in sight, I’ve searched within
I can’t see a light out of my window
And you can’t see through my walls…
When darkness falls
When darkness falls
When darkness falls
Falling
You know that I’m falling through
And I know that you are falling too
I can’t open up my eyes…
I don’t wanna see, everything that I despise
‘Cause I know that we are falling deep
I can’t stop myself from falling deep within your arms
I can’t stop myself from falling, I’m falling for your charms
I can’t open up my eyes…
I don’t wanna see, everything that I despise
‘Cause I know that we are falling deep
You know that I’m falling through
And I know that you are falling too
I can’t open up my eyes…
I don’t wanna see, everything that I despise
‘Cause I know that we are falling deep
Universe
As the moon shines on the water, she reminds me I’m a daughter…
Of the universe, you’re the universe
When the sun’s on the horizon, he reminds me I’m a lion…
Of the universe, you’re the universe
Breathe it in and let it out
Tell the world what you’re about…
You’re the universe, ohhh you’re the universe
As the wind blows through the trees, she whispers “We’re all the breeze…
Of the universe, you’re the universe
You have the power of the streams, that carve out the great ravines!…
You’re the universe, you’re the universe”
Breathe it in and let it out
Tell the world what you’re about…
You’re the universe, ohhh you’re the universe
You’re the universe, ohhh you’re the universe
Breathe it in and let it out
Tell the world what you’re about…
You’re the universe, ohhh you’re the universe
You’re the universe, ohhh you’re the universe
Come With Me
Oh can you take me places that I’ve never been before?
This mad existence, it just leaves me wanting more
Just take my hand and lead me down the beaten path
You lead, I’ll follow and tomorrow no looking back
I hear whispers in the forests and the trees
I feel the truth is whistling on the breeze
I can see the changes coming, open up your eyes and see…
Oh come with me
Oh take me to the mountains and walk barefoot through the streams
‘Cause this life we’re living makes me live in my daydreams
Just take my hand and lead me down the beaten path
You lead, I’ll follow and tomorrow no looking back
I hear whispers in the forests and the trees
I feel the truth is whistling on the breeze
I can see the changes coming, open up your eyes and see…
Oh come with me
Come with me
Ooooo come with me
I hear whispers in the forests and the trees
I feel the truth is whistling on the breeze
I can see the changes coming, open up your eyes and see…
Oh come with
Come with me
Ooooo come with me
Come with me
Let Me Go
Let me go, cast me out
Free my soul, let it out
And I know I’ll find my way
Don’t beg for me to stay… not anymore
Let me go, fly up high
We both know, the reasons why
And I know I’ll find my way
Don’t beg for me to stay… not anymore
I can’t take this heartache…
No not anymore
So let me go, cast me out
Free my soul, let it out
And I know I’ll find my way
Don’t beg for me to stay… not anymore
Let me go, let me go
Let me go
These are my
songs
(in no particular order)
I write songs all the time; some of them come from the lyrics first and some come from a bit of a tune that I may pick on my guitar and develop into a full song.
You're All I Need
He said to me, “Go be who you wanna be”
Didn’t wanna tie me down to watch me fly
He said, “Go be free, go fulfil your destiny”
But I couldn’t walk away now if I tried
‘Cause he’s the ground beneath my feet
He makes the universe complete
He is the air that surrounds the world that makes me breathe
He is the earth and he’s the sky
He is the sun and the stars up high
I said to him, “You’re everything, how could I leave?”
I said to him, “You’re everything, you’re all I need”
He said, “Can’t hold you back…
Don’t wanna make you feel you’re trapped
And I won’t stand here in your way”
So I said, “Hey, can’t you see, that you’re my destiny?
And forever by your side I’ll stay”
‘Cause he’s the ground beneath my feet
He makes the universe complete
He is the air that surrounds the world that makes me breathe
He is the earth and he’s the sky
He is the sun and the stars up high
I said to him, “You’re everything, how could I leave?”
I said to him, “You’re everything, you’re all I need”
Yeah he’s the ground beneath my feet
He makes the universe complete
He is the air that surrounds the world that makes me breathe
He is the earth and he’s the sky
He is the sun and the stars up high
I said to him, “You’re everything, how could I leave?”
I said to him, “You’re everything, how could I leave?…
You’re everything, You’re all I need”
Just You & Me
We could live a life on a fishing boat
Live a life at sea
I’d be a sailors wife if you marry me
Imagine how life would be…
If it’s just you and me, just you and me
Just you and me… just you and me
We could live a life at the circus
I’d fly the high trapeze
I’d be a clown wife if you marry me
Imagine how life would be…
If it’s just you and me, just you and me
Just you and me… just you and me
We could live a fairy-tale life you and me
Chasing ghosts on the mystery machine
Or just rub the lamp, we’re granted three wishes
To do whatever we please…
Just you and me… just you and me
We could live a life in the jungle
Swing all day through the trees
Could be Tarzan and Jane if you marry me
Imagine how life could be…
If it’s just you and me, just you and me
Just you and me… just you and me
We could live a life in the woodlands
Float on a magical breeze
I’d be Tinkerbell if you marry me
Imagine how life could be…
If it’s just you and me, just you and me
Just you and me… just you and me
Just you and me… just you and me
Nowhere Near
A life full of dreams and memories, yeah life is… not what it seems
I’m on the outside looking in, when I feel my life begin to spin, I’m in too deep
Nowhere to turn, will I ever learn? You know that I’m not here
I look around, you can’t be found because… You’re nowhere
You’re nowhere near… You’re nowhere near
I know that you still care but you’re not there it’s just a… an empty stare
I need to feel the fire within, I just don’t know where to begin… there’s nothing there
Nowhere to turn, will I ever learn? You know that I’m not here
I look around, you can’t be found because… You’re nowhere near
You’re nowhere near… You’re nowhere near
I can’t find air and I need to breathe
I can’t stay here but I can’t leave
And my whole world is filled with fear
But you’re nowhere near… You’re nowhere near
Nowhere to turn, will I ever learn? You know that I’m not here
I look around, you can’t be found because… You’re nowhere near
You’re nowhere near
Drift Away
I am in too deep, I can barely breathe
Let it wash over me… and I pray…
I drift away
Feel the waves on my skin, I suffocate as I breathe in
Let it wash out the sin… and I pray…
I drift away… I drift away…
I drift away… oooooo I drift away
I feel the cold in my veins, I feel it rush through my brain
Let it wash out the shame… and I pray…
I drift away… I drift away…
I drift away… oooooo
Let it wash over me, let it wash out the sin
Let it wash out the shame… and I pray…
I drift away
I am in too deep, I can barely breathe
Let it wash over me… and I pray…
I drift away… I drift away…
I drift away… oooooo
I drift away… I drift away
I drift away… oooooo
I drift away… drift away
Lightning Strike
There are answers there to find
It’s curiosity of mind
But we can’t seem to find the light
We seem to question all the time
And still we work the daily grind
It’s time we set the world alight
It’s time to wonder, if we no longer learn from the lessons of our life
Feel the hunger, be the thunder, ohhh let the lightning strike
Ohhh let the lightning strike
Tear down the walls and the divides
And really take a look inside
Maybe we can find the light
Oh we can run but we can’t hide
United we all must decide
It’s time to set the world alight
It’s time to wonder, if we no longer learn from the lessons of our life
Feel the hunger, be the thunder, ohhh let the lightning strike
Ohhh let the lightning strike, ohhh let the lightning strike
It’s time to wonder, if we no longer learn from the lessons of our life
Feel the hunger, be the thunder, ohhh let the lightning strike
Ohhh let the lightning strike, ohhh let the lightning strike
Let the lighting strike, let the lightning strike
Broken
A broken mind, a broken soul
You broke the heart of a broken girl
And you know that it’s all because of forbidden love, you had to take…
Oh you’ve broken me that way
You’ve broken me that way
A broken home with broken trust
You broke my world and all for lust
And then you left it all, for me to try and pick up your lies, you ran away…
Oh you’ve broken me that way
You’ve broken me that way
You’ve broken me that way
I’ve got nothing left to say to you
I know that I will find my own way through, ohhh
A broken mind, a broken soul
You broke the heart of a broken girl
And you know that it’s all because of forbidden love, that you can’t take
Oh you’ve broken me that way
You’ve broken me that way
You’ve broken me that way
I’ve got nothing left to say to you
I know that I will find my own way through, ohhh
You’ve broken me that way
You’ve broken me that way
