Lyric writing, making music and the creative process
I have lost belief in me
No more time to give
Grey is all I see
Black is how I live
You’ll see me in the window
Watching how the world turns
I know it moves so slow
Isn’t that how a heart yearns
If I could be
For just one night
So fucking free
So full of life
If I could be
Someone you might
Want to see again
Just once or twice
I’ve never learned to dance
Too awkward and too shy
It’s hard to take a chance
When no one hears your hearts cry

I’m not missing you
But I know I will
Want to feel the desert heat
And then the night time chill
Always remember our church
Paintings high upon the wall
If it doesn’t kill you it can’t hurt you
The will to live my lover’s call
We are the people
We are like signed
Never touching we are connected
Don’t let love fall through our hands
Kindness is a killer
When it’s time to go
Read me one more chapter
Play the music low
Mornings are the brightest
Leaves in verdant glow
Your eyes watch me dancing
Your hand leaves mine slow

We can’t play no more
We can’t take no more
We can’t break the floor
Let’s find another way
Somethings on the way
Coming down the line
Love and peaceful resistance
Fading into the distance
Let’s get on board to be heard
Together we are more
Let’s stay the course
Feel the force together
We are more
We don’t need all we want
All we’re told don’t believe
We can be what we want
If we’re not sold if not free

I’ve had a good time
But now’s the right time
To end it all
To take the fall
I won’t use a gun
Won’t lose the run
Of myself
There’s no one else
I used to see a carnival in your eyes
Now all I see are sad goodbyes
Can’t carry on
Been down too long
You’ll move to a different town
Find someone and settle down
Have two kids
Get dark eyelids
You said things I thought I’d never hear
About our friends staying clear
Out of my mind
That was so unkind
We like to live both ways
Turning Night into days
There’s no shame
Being insane
So what do I do to get through to you
Don’t want you to see me just want you to believe in me
Maybe you can believe in you
When I find what I’m looking for
I’ll come knocking on your door
I’ll sell the plan
Like all I can
Then you’ll know where I’m coming from
Been away but it won’t be too long
You don’t care
Because you were there
In my head
In my heart and in my bones.

It’s time to take a trip
Let a tale be told
How you broke the boy
No wings to unfold
Pigeons by the fountain
Dancers on the street
Castles on the mountains
Diamonds on the beach
Worshiping the sun god
Libraries of sand
Praying for a new world
We can understand
Who is the new messiah
Where is the new messiah

Took a ride
Heaven forgive me
She took a ride
It’s heaven when you’re in me
I’m Cliff hanging
And Cliff is gonna to hang for this
She’s a girl who studies hard
Wants to learn get herself clever
Just one night in the dark
She said she would never
They choose the name
They choose the colour
She’ll be the same
When she’s a mother
Hey, take a plane
The boat is much cheaper
It’ll drive you insane
If you must keep her
Eve’s got a terrible problem
Her belly’s getting bigger
She doesn’t want a husband
Drink a bottle of gin
Don’t knit him a sweater
Take a bath in the morning
You know you’ll feel better
Eve’s got a picture in her purse
A secondhand Ford
She bought from a nurse
Driving is a head Fuck
She’s got time to think
Cliff hanging is easy
She gives the car a drink
There’s a lack of information in our country
There’s no understanding in her family

Unsteady on my feet
Too afraid to sleep
Age begins to creep
Lying in the street
Your only friend has gone
Now you can’t sing your song
Their eyes can move you on
The waiting won’t be long
Don’t cry for me
Don’t look at me
It’s not over till it’s over
Yesterday was king
You loved what I would bring
A tail with a sting
A story with a ring
And love was all around
Now you’re happier again
I fell into a burning fire
You couldn’t save me then

Orange sun cool water
Not just another day
What are we gonna talk about now
What we said yesterday
Light a cigarette light the water
Say what you’ve got to say
Turn the story to our laughter
Don’t let your heart get in the way
I’ll take the pain
Don’t baby talk me
I know the world will turn around again
I love the rain
Cause the sunshine follows
And the world will turn around again
And again
I know the world will turn around tomorrow
Morning comes a welcome friend
When your heart is full of sorrow
You see my eyes they’re not crying
I only hurt on the inside
You’ve got to be rich to drown your sorrows
Take the hangers for a ride
Sunset comes a perfect ending
Our shadows fade into the sea
Now we’re not talking words mean nothing
They drift away out on the breeze

Let’s go now
Before the sun goes down
Catch the last of the summer heat
Let’s go now
We can make it If we try
Hand in hand heart to beat
So let’s go now
Standing waiting
For you and your ghost
You know I hate this
This kind of game the most
Don’t waste my time
I’ve got things to do
Sleep will come easy
Then we can renew

No one’s talking about a revolution
No one’s giving me a good solution
I just need something to help me get through
Some of this everyday crisis
The world’s on fire
It’s in a spin
Police and thieves are in the ether
And we’re zooming in
The animals are fighting
At the edge of the plantation
We watch them for a little while
Until something better hits the station
The weakest pay the ferryman
To make their dream come true
They only need a little luck
Just like me and you
If we can see the dimmest light
If it’s not love, then it’s not right
Like the birds we take flight
We count the cost once not twice
