Take 1

Faces with smiles, grey skies for miles,

I look around for remnants of you

If you walked these streets, met the people I meet,

What would you be inclined to do?

Should I go dancing, thrifting or chancing,

That I would just bump into you?

Would I fall again, see you a ten

Ask a date with sunset views?

The autumn air is the colour of your hair

Every season has been infected with you

Soon it will snow with your white angel glow

And then spring will blossom with your beauty too

With all of my time, I try to define,

The reason I can move on from you

Not much is helping, cause my heart is melting

When I try be with someone else new

Then I go walking, thinking and talking

To the ghost with her hand in mine

She whispers in my ear, don't shed any more tears

You can't force our stars to align

Chorus

Wandering leaves, make lonely trees

That are jealous of the evergreens

If I floated down, twisting, twirling around

Would you reach out to catch me?

November 2024

On a date with the moonrise

I made you talk all of the time

So I could stare into those eyes           

But I soon fell in love with your mind

It was a bumpy road when I was your fella

I was a car breaking down

You did well to hold me together

I was a sitch where you walk into town

You were always scared of the summers

For my history to be repeating

Now I'm not saying they all were lovers

But it sure was the fear you're dreaming

I wish to go to Oxford Town

and talk to the prettiest girl I'd meet

to buy her a drink and twirl her around

To say now darling ain't this sweet

But I'm watching the clocks go round

In the hopes I'll think you're fiction

And then you can come see my band

Ill sing i love you, this time I'll listen

You see through the facade to my flaws

And I live like you watch all I do

Now I ain't calling you a god 

But I sure do look up to you

Now you're happily like two birds of a feather

Just as we sang we used to be

So ill call it a patch of bad weather,

Hope your blue skies will come find me

They say you learn by mistakes

But i don't think it always true

I'll need  quite a few more takes

Before Ill know what to do with you

Chorus

October 2024

I prayed to god once to look over you, 

He tried his best but it just wouldn't do

He didn't know one could hurt this much

Couldn't fix it with his gentle touch

I call you the angel of the north

In the hopes it gives me some warmth

Visions were in my head, a life built around you

The warmest of nights to wake up in blue

If you believed, then I could as well

Knowing I'd go where we’d forever dwell

Ill hope to meet you in the hall at the end

Heal sins of a heart only he can mend

I call you the rising sun

A sign of hope when the days begun

Gold wove through your hair, peace in the morning dew

The warmest of nights to wake up in blue

Wings you'll grow when the bells chime

A truth that love only grows in time

When white is the colour and black is the tone

Have our names on the same stone

I call you the waves crest

Sailing ships must pass your test

Your voice in the wind guides me, to our rendezvous

The warmest of nights the wake up in blue

The warmest of nights the wake up in blue

Janruary 2025

Clouds show no shapes, and the stars form no signs  

Wind never whispers, the sun tells no time

The ocean despises the ships that sail    

The mountain range weeps at the alpine trail 

Will the seed fall when the old tree is dead  

Can it flourish when the sunshine has fled   

Can new saplings spring and new branches grow     

When the leaves cannot trust the roots below

The tides roll in, I struggle for the shore 

I become the moon, the sea rises more                      

I float to the depths, in search of the sky

I sink to the surface, no tears in my eye

June 2022

When I feel like sailing, you’re the waves to my ocean

When I'm stir crazy you’re the calm to my commotion

You're one of the best fish in the sea

And cedars aside, the most beautiful tree

You're the horizon at when the sun goes down

And when I'm upside down you're the smile to my frown

When it is cold outside you're a warm cup of tea

And when I'm feeling lost you're home at middle C

You're a wool knit in blustery weather

When I'm grey you are the purple hue of heather

Because you plus me is a puzzle complete

You're my journey, my road, my path and my street

When life gives you lemons you're a drizzle recipe

If you were a  handbag I'd be shopping therapy

You're an umbrella for the rain and the sleet

I look for you in everybody I meet

You're my favourite slippers that fit so snug

You got so much loving like a big momma hug

You're my bass line and the perfect tune

My thoughts revolve around you like the Earth and the Moon

You're a country road with hair pin bends

If my life was a movie you'd be the lens

Because you plus me is a puzzle complete

You're my journey, my road, my path and my street

You're the cherry on top and the honey glaze

All our memories made have a summer haze

You're a gig in the sun and cozy jazz bars

You're the soft pop of fresh jam jars

I'm a pair of ripped jeans you're the needle and thread

You're the comforting smell of freshly baked bread

You're a silent night with the world on pause

When I lock myself in your the key to the doors

Talking to you is like a window for me

To see what my life philosophy should be

Because you plus me is a puzzle complete

You're my journey, my road, my path and my street

December 2024

Wine, Lang Syne, it's Christmas time

Your name's day, I started to pine

Now, every bottle I pour for two

Boil the kettle, I leave enough for you

If I dropped the needle and let our lives play

Is our song scratched out,  can't recreate

You gave sunshine its melancholy rays 

The warmth of light has a regretful haze

Flowers look to the hills of old

Never have trees cast shadows so cold

You showed me laughter for the sun and consolation when it falls

But it's falling, forever more

She can make sea birds sing

She can make Autumn turn spring

She made the final bird call

She made summer turn fall

You're the open sea and the wind in my sail

You protect my ship but to no avail

You said it was your last love letter, 

Cryptic but kind, they don't come better

You said I'm more like the sea and more like the sky

The last words you wrote to say goodbye

Chorus

March 2025

You smile when I go by, say certainly of course

Nod when II sigh and talk when i pause

I'm searching the sky, flipping over a stone

Looking for reasons to lie and wonder alone

I stare deep in your eyes, trying to alter your mind

Change you into the girl I'm trying to find

Other times, I gaze right through you

The shade over my eyes is painted blue

I try to be honest and try to entertain

Or is sweet talking just a habit I maintain

I tell you my flaws, point out my mistakes

In the hopes your heart runs before it breaks

If I could paint me a lover girl, with any palette I choose

It would be your complexion, but the canvas is used

Some trees will never grow, no matter what seeds you sow

You can add all your affection, but you'll never be my roots below

In truth it was the ending I did intend

I'm a broken young soul who is trying to mend

Need a cure for eyes that only see blue

But it's unfair for the healer to be you

I was acting a part, I'm sorry you fell

I'm sorry I wove you into my dark spell

But I don't think it'll ever be my hand in yours

I hope our closing will open more doors

Chorus

Janurary 2025

I got 2 pockets and one is full of holes

I love her letters but never your calls

I'm dropping your pennies all the ways down the road

I bless the waters that only one showed

Deep trouble comes my way if y'all knowed

3 folks be making up my stained glass face

But only one shade lets through the rays

3 years and only pain I've bestowed 

I bless the waters that only one showed

Deep trouble comes my way if y'all knowed

I've been tossed around over country lines

You showed me the way but she wrote all the signs

My time has been stolen and used, i'm still owed

I bless the waters that only one showed

Deep trouble comes my way if y'all knowed

You held my hand in the dark but blew out the flame

and despise the others who hold a claim

You lifted my heart but she carried my load

I bless the waters that only one showed

Deep trouble comes my way if y'all knowed

When my path is the road with no places to turn

Ill pocket those pennies, in the hopes to earn

Enough to buy back the lover I yearn

And be hopin' from deep trouble I learn

January 2025

You got to get creative to make the journey worthwhile

Learn to contort a frown into a deceiving smile

When you're too old to come before those held high

be second to them all, learn to fall where they fly

But to see your dreams seep is a good feeling felt

Know you're a living thing with knees to be knelt

You only get remembered as the master of one

A good hand at them all and you're as good as gone

Pine for the skills with longevity

What's a hand alone if the body fails thee

Reminiscing good health is a good feeling felt

Know you're a living thing with the cards you're delt

Where is the love in a world of no art?

There's no romance or bravery in a well-drawn chart

As soon as the pen bleeds its blood on the page

Life is returned, a new play for the stage

A tear for a tragedy is a good feeling felt

Know you're a living thing when your heart does melt

A tune sung is the purity in all

Pain can be caused but no bodies do fall

If every folk sang there heart when it's wronged

Tears would be cried that ripple the pond

But a pain deep within is a good feeling felt

Know you're a living thing without tightening the belt

A tune sung is the purity in all,

Sing it straight from the soul 

March 2025

For those in the country, love is the seed that grows

For those in the heat, it is the shadow of relief

Those on the road it's the routes unknowed

Those in silence its the colour and the light

For those growing old, its the stories once told

For the restless, its dawn rising from the night

Those strollin' along, its a stop to a hitch hikers thumb

In the cold it's the glowing of the coal

Those in darkness, its a musical strum

In the towns it's a summer nights fiesta

Those afar it's a guiding star 

For tired eyes, it's an afternoon siesta

The dwellers by the ocean, it's the crashing of the waves

for the mountain folk, it's the climb for the view

but I found my love in you
