Allison’s Not Happenin’ Anymore
Thinking about the times we had
All the good and all the bad
And all of those days…
There was laughter there was pain
Winter snow and summer rain
All of those days…
I spent my time and took my chance
Came down like an avalanche
Shot down to the floor
And all the times I stood outside her door
But Allison’s not happenin’ anymore
Afternoons that slowly passed
Counting every blade of grass
All of those days…
Miss her fun her love her kiss
Breakdowns and her tenderness
I’ve seen it all before
And all the scenes left on the cutting floor
But Allison’s not happenin’ anymore

Some Summertime
I feel the warmth of the morning
I see the sun through the trees
In a time and place where
We were always meant to be
Some summertime
I see you smile as you wake up
These days are ours eternally
In a time and place where
We were always meant to be
Some summertime
To the top of the hill no clouds in the sky
O you’ve got something that I could never deny

This Time It’s for Real
This time it’s done and it’s so surreal
I cannot tell you just the way I feel
So let’s not fight again - let’s just heal
Out in the cold knocking on your door
Two other guys you know I love you more
You made a point but I don’t know the score
Hang on to yourself - use your reason
This time it’s for real
You wanted a change – a new season
This time it’s for real
I start to speak but you know my line
That trip to Brighton has been on my mind
When we had drifted apart – out of time
Fragmented in two – lost connection
This time it’s for real
Hungover from all your deception
This time it’s for real
Hang on to yourself - use your reason
This time it’s for real
You wanted a change – a new season
This time it’s for real

She Writes the Words

She Writes The Words
Hearing no sound from the Underground
Squinting your eyes now to see
Darkness and light till the end of the night
A perfect dichotomy
Hearing the tick of the clock on the wall
Drinking in words from the page
Hours and minutes go deep in the night
Slowly the dark starts to fade
She writes the words that will bring back the light into your eyes
She writes the words that never will fail to compromise – she tells no lies
She writes the words
She writes the words

Endless Sea

Endless Sea
Take me to the ocean
On a morning fair
There beyond the breakers
Sun salt & air
Let me swim forever
Let this day remain
Let me live and let me
Fall in love again
Feel the cool blue waters
That and nothing more
Distant palms are swaying
On a distant shore
There is only water
Floating endlessly
Drift along forever
Tranquility
There is only water
Lost to memory
Drift along forever
The endless sea

Swimming to the Light

Swimming to the Light
No one’s going to slow us down
Never put our feet back on the ground
We will never fade away
We’ll be back to fight another day
Me for you and you for me that’s the way it’s always going to be
No one’s going foil our plan
Trick us with a sudden sleight of hand
We’ve been around that block before
Know the ends and outs beyond that door
On dry land or out to sea that’s the way it’s always going to be
I’ll never let you down
You’ll never let me down
I’ll never let you down
We have got a better plan
A new language we both understand
Every day and every night
We’re the fishes swimming towards the light
Me for you and you for me that’s the way it’s always going to be
I’ll never let you down – you’ll never let me down
I’ll never let you down – you’ll never let me down

Always Torn
Suspension of time
These last few days
Still in my mind
I’m with you always
These languid days
The comfort you bring
Your body is warm
A tangle of knots
Our bondage forlorn
Drops on the pane
But I’m always torn
I know I must leave
Walk out in the storm
These meaningless dates
A summer unseen
I step out your door
A world dressed in green
That I’ve seldom seen

Evening Tide

Evening Tide
Evening tide
As the river slowly flows
Waterside
Heading down the path you know
Near midnight
Counting down another day
Pray for change
All the things you’d like to say
And you find you’re sinking fast
Better find yourself at last
Not a version from your past

Waiting for the End to Begin
Rolling out of bed sleepless night
Cannot find the words that are right
Tangled in emotions and though
Unsure what it was that you sought
Waiting for the end to begin
Cannot find a meaning you say
Life unfolding day after day
Riding ‘round on buses late night
Destination nowhere in sight
Waiting for the end to begin
Sifting through what’s lost and then found
All of your suitcases smashed on the ground
Maybe one day
You’ll see things my way
And we could be friends
If not then it ends
Don’t mean to cruel
But you broke every rule
You broke every rule
Waiting for the end to begin
Waiting for the end to begin
