Nothing Lasts Forever
I saw you by the river
a story will unfold
I though had forgiven me
I must have felt so cold
I caught you looking back at me
I though you had come to set me free
now I know I was mistaken
As i lay awake that night
i held you I my mind
I treasured all those moments past
now frozen deep in time
how long must I feel this way
why can’t I get you out of me
surely nothing lasts forever
If I met you by the river
would you catch my eye
would you say
'i remember when
you forgot to say goodbye’?
I caught you looking back at me
deep in to your darkest reverie
now I know I was mistaken
I caught you looking up to see
you thought I had come to set you free come
now I know were mistaken.

Susan
Here at last is my song for you
can’t count the time that I've tried to
write about you and how I loved you
I was hoping to apologise
but you've taken from this life
its too late ….my mistake
Oh susan
my sweet susan
beneath the moon or the summer sun
through the forest we would run
to make love-young love
I sometimes wonder did you regret
that child in time that I won’t forget
believe me it's not that easy
Susan
my sweet susan
walking home in the pouring rain
life was pumping through my viens
loves easy - at fifteen
we stopped to kiss beneath the open sky
I saw such beauty in your eyes
believe me, that lives with me
Susan
my first loveSusan
I know they won’t ever see you again
I’m told that time will heal their pain
but your name lights this flame
its been so long since I last saw you
but there's still theres times when I dream its true
you kiss me - set me free
Susan

Two Trees
Two Trees standing tall in the dark
both have future each has a path
one took tomorrow
the other the past
each has good reason
to fear it’s path
when the wind blew
one would sail on it’s tide
cross the oceans
to seek and find
the other would stiffen
and fight with the breeze
let go of horizons
littered with it’s dreams
I can’t see
which tree is me
When winter called
and frost bit their leave
it gave no comfort
in it’s colourless freeze
one would keep hope
when spring comes at last
it’ll be reunited
with the sent of the grass
One would remember
that once in the past
it has seen all these things
and new it would pass
as time is a traveller
and passes through all
whatever your future
whatever you call
I can’t see
Which Tree is me
So weather you’re
searching for something
deep within
like the comfort of a stranger
for you to believe it
whether it frozen
in the depths of your mind
you’ll be desperate for freedom
at the end of your time
and I can’t see
Which Tree is free

Venus
Her light is the first light
that's why
she casts a shadow over me
In her eyes I've seen the dark side
thats why
I can’t seem to break her chains
Break her chains.
In time we’ll find a new life
I’ll always feel this way
If I fall from your grace
I’ll know my shame is long
Shame is long
This night beneath the star light
I hear her voice
And I search the stars
Search the stars

Butter Wouldn’t Melt
You’re a thousand miles from anything
you’re a million miles from me
you torture me in the middle of the night
gives no peace no respite
you cannot pretend I was your first
and surely will not be your last
climbing up onto the top
where you can clearly see your past
to the unsuspecting
you’re desire
you’re so complicated
you were born a liar
Butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth
Dressed to kill and how you kill a lot
dressed to show and now you show it all
then you come with all that innocence
with desire as your defence
well you might need to turn me on again
then you might need to call me back again
Butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth
Well you come to me with those innocents eyes
then you come to me with that head full of lies
then you come to me me with that innocent
then you come to me with that innocent little frown
Butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth.

Tonight
Seem like a different life
the picture on my wall
reminds me of you
can’t believe its been so long
since i last saw you
you said it was the only way
but I miss you like the summer would
miss the cooling breeze
my love was all you ever wanted
or at least thats what you said you did to me
So tonight I will remember you
And all that came between us was the truth.
I remember the night you mother died
I held you in my arms, as you cried yourself to sleep
You tried to keep it all inside
tears and tenderness was all you wanted from me
but I was young and restless
that always came between us, the path seemed too long
the must be something on the breeze
I have you in my heart as i’m writing this song
So tonight I will remember you
and all that came between us was the truth
I saw how it crushed you
to carry hope in your heart for so long
you say that time has set you free
from the hurt
and the flame you held for me
So tonight
I will remember you
and all that came between us
and the truth
So tonight i will remember you
Was all that came between us called my youth.

All Summer Long…..
They were such special days
dreams chased the clouds away
all summer long
life spend in a herbal haze
you and your carefree ways
with that pale blue summer dress on
Was it a lie
should I have tried
Time fills the empty space
between the lines on my face
life has had its way
you let me hold your hand
left our footprints in the sand
the tide washed them away
Was it all a lie
did fate decide
I’ve been here before
left my footprints on that shore
It will always stay
close to the heart of this
and the girl that i kissed
that long hot summer day
Was it a lie
Could I have tried
So if we meet again
would you remember when
will the stars light up the sky
in their endless plight
to emit there light
so love could find its way
Home in the dark
ignighting the spark
of love…….

Say Goodbye

Say Goodbye
The very last thing you ever said to me
was ‘God bless’
then you set your self free
I sayed a while by your side
then I kissed your face and said goodbye
Then on that night that early May
you made your choice and passed away
and all your love through all the years came to us and dried our tears
And sometimes now on days like these
when the sun it shines on Autumn leaves
I think of you and like a child I cry
I wish I could hold you…. one last time
And father if you can see me now
I hope that I have made you proud
I’ve tried so hard to become a man
and if I failed
would you understand?
And no matter how old I am
and no matter how much time passes by
I will alway yearn for you
to hold me like you used to do
Then on that night that early may
you made your choice
and Passed away
and all the love through all the years came to us and dried our tears

The Forgotten Man
Tonight the stars they take my gaze
this cool November plays your name
has it been to long to know you again
the reckless soul I was has gone
my naive heart it came undone
in your garden beneath the Autumn sun
What kind of man had I become
What kind of love had we begun
In your world I l’d lose myself
but I forgot what love entails
a foolish man
or just a boy in motion?
you know my heart still hears your name-
I hope that time healed your pain
in your garden beneath the Autumn rain
but what kind of man remains the same?
But for now will you forgive me
or am I the forgotten man
still chasing down an old abandoned
friend I thought I’d found…….

Moving On
Time is not a photograph
or place I once belonged
it’s never been a friend of mine of that I’m confident
it’s neither an apologist for a place I’d like to go
it’s never a companion to a late night picture show
But it's moving on
Yeah it’s moving on
moving on
In a forest deep in history
my lover laid with me
we reveled in that moment
then the rest is history
you could have been a poet with words to set men free
you might have been a Sailor and sailed the troubled seas
Time is moving on
yeah it’s moving on
moving on
Am I living proof
that saying is obsured
but once you’ve been a failure
you never will be cured
but who are they to judge me?
they are stained by their greed
I think I’ve found the perfect line with which to end defeat
I am moving on
yeah I’m moving on
Moving on :-)
