Whisper

Theres a flower i want to give you
theres a life we need to live through
Im with you,
forever
Theres is only you that can touch me
without touching me
you are my tinder box
when my flame has died

Theres a whisper that lives on a quiet
hillside
thats where my desire lies
theres a whisper in the wind
theres an end of me
trying to begin

tonight i'm swimming in your love
nestling in the shores of your heart
basking in the sun of our passion

I love you
that says it all.

The Stepping Stone

Walking up to the garden gate
where we once lived
so many years ago
and if I close my eyes (tightly enough)
I can see you
and if I close my eyes (tightly enough)
I can see you

Sorry for all the hell I put you through
that made you lie awake at night
and if i close my eyes (tightly enough)
I can see you
Repeat.

And papa sitting here
with my thoughts tonight
and you sitting with yours
a thousand miles away
And papa don't you feel
our lives are just slipping away
and theres so much
we need to say

I remember you placing
a stepping stone
So I could reach the handle on the gate
you placed that stone with love and care
to help me get to places
when you wer'nt there.
and if i close my eyes(tightly enough)
I can see you
Repeat.

And papa I feel so hollow
without you here with me
and papa don't you feel
our lives are just slipping away
and theres so much we need to say

Now I lie awake
listening to little heart beats
echoing around the rooms of my home
and for each one of them
like you did...
I will place a stone.

Beauty Within

Theres no beauty within
inside a broken heart
afraid to begin
afraid of a new start
When your in my dreams
When I touch you in life
its only love it seems
That can hold us this way

Chorus

Don't think of leaving me now
that would only break my heart
no don't think of leaving me now
I'm afraid of a new start

I wasn't the arrow
that flew to your heart
I wasn't the daylights
that stopped the stars
from playing their part

Chorus

How I wish I could gather
All my emotions tonight
still the memories stir my mind
like leaves upon my window sill
No the beauty within
comes forth give it time
afraid to begin
is nothing but personal crime

Chorus

Now I walk in the rain
and I do it alone
I'm the one t

Believe In Me

Sometimes I feel theres a hurricane inside of me
Sometimes I feel theres a way through all of this
If you could see the man inside I want to be
Believe in me
Believe in me
Because right now I don't believe in myself

The shadow of the perfect light
Hides the beams of love in flight
Like words of gold you wrote
and the tales you spoke

Believe in me
Believe in me

I was anchored down by a pebble
in a hurricanes eye
your dream became my nightmare
your laugh my cry
When your glances bring me to my knees
you take no prisoners
you take what you please

Believe in me
Believe in me

Sands Of Time

Whirlwind with a forgotten will of freedom
I sat alone with my thoughts
which I once shared with you
a moment so precious
experienced only by a few
Is there a way to reverse
the sands of time
that once were yours
and once were mine
In  the wake of what might have been
In the absence of foresight
to look within
And the wind that failed
to carry your memory
was then taken by a gentle breeze
sealed in a sphere
like leaves upon
my window sill.

Alone

Theres a bridge before us
Theres a chance we need to cross
Alone
Without you
Theres a light we need to find
But when the pain it makes us blind
But I can't see
Oh without you
Chorus

And I need to breathe
the air you breathe
and I need to believe
what you believe
please believe in me.

Theres so many paths
We need to take
Theres so many falls
We need to break
together
with you

Middle *8th

When the times they get to tense
and nothing in the world makes sense
i will hold you close
to feel your breath.

Written in Bournemouth England 1998

Beautiful Girl

Can I hold you a while?
Sit right down, I need to smile
The wind sneaks through a crack in your window
Hold me close, I'll keep you warm

Beautiful Georgia
Beautiful girl
Warm me with your sweet smile
Beautiful girl

Summer was far too short this year
I've so much I need to say
Lend me your ear

Beautiful girl
Warm me with your sweet smile
Beautiful Georgia

The wind sneaks through
A hole in our life
Hold me close
Don't let me go
Beautiful girl

You're growing up far too fast
Please slow down
Let's take a breath
Warm  me with your sweet smile
Beautiful Georgia
