I used to dream
I’d be top of the world
I was foolish then
Just as I am now
I believed
In a thing called love
I was foolish then
Just as I am now

We set ourselves up
To be beaten down
To cry those tears
Like Smokies clown
You’re a Queen bee
I’m a drone for you
I’m on my knees
Set me free now

I’m begging you
Don’t hold on too tight
Because I’m ready
Ready to leave tonight
I respect you now
More than yesterday
And the tide rolls in
Down at Scotsman Bay

You have to play
Stay in the game
You’ve got to move
You can’t change
When everyday
Seems the same
If we get together
We’ll be better
X and Y pushes
Us on forever
If we live the dream
Then love remains
In the corner of our eyes
In a droplet of rain
Electricity passes
Through our finger tips
The touch of gods
Running through our veins
You can throw your hand
Stick or twist
Don’t stop wishing
Making or taking the risk

I’m meeting you for the first time
Since you set my world alight
Nervous as hell hope you understand
My hands are shaking still feel fine
You’re with your gang looking so heavenly
Black hair falling like a dark angel
I catch your eye you turn away
You’ve a new sinner to save you don’t need me

I can take it I can fake it
You can do your worst
I know rejection hurts
I’m bigger than that
I’ll take the slap
You wait for my comeback
I’ll be back on track
You’ll want me back
When you see me next
You’ll get a heart attack
I’ve everything that you lack

Yeah it was only one night
We were bits of kids
So I’ll cut you some slack
Is this just a lovers spat
You know my beers gone flat
Watching and waiting
Have you met your match
Yes you know I’m a catch
Waiting for the glass to smash
Music makes the lights flash
In the pool all the girls go splash
I’m left here like a monster mash
I can take it I won’t fake it
You’re sophisticated
I’m dead lated
Like I always was
It’s a lost cause
Won’t put my paws
Anywhere near your claws
Your a cat woman
I’m a dog lover
It took such a short time
For us to discover
That we are just
Not right for each other
We could go round and round
Until one of us found
How to walk away
There’s nothing left to say
Except we had one night one day
I’m going gone without delay

Time sits in the corner
Waiting like a Blackbird
For a warm breeze
To brush silky wings

Time takes another millisecond
From our future and our past
If we touch and if we play
Listen when the Blackbird sings

So fly now
Feel the rise and fall
So fly away now
Don’t fear the call
It’s just the melody of life

These are the days
Hold them in your heart
These are the days
They’ll save you from the dark
Just remember these are the days
Every conversation is a chance to learn
To know someone or something new
Every battle won you know you had to earn
Don’t see colours see the journey makes it true
Don’t walk in the dark
With no one by your side
You’ll never be alone
With all you have inside
Memories and dreams
Are one and the same thing
If we dream big enough
Every step is a small win
We’ve been injured and abused
We’ve been taunted and we’ve been used
Find the golden thread in life
Stitch the sunrise in the sky
