START AGAIN
Sitting with a pencil poised, Waiting for a phrase to come
Looking for some inspiration, But there's none
Staring through the window pane, Hoping there'll be something to see
Nothing but a grey old day, Coming back at me
So when the night draws in and you're waiting for tomorrow
And you dream of sunshine all the way
And when you wake and see the sun that's shining through your window
You know it's time to rise and start again
Maybe when tomorrow comes, Things will take a different turn
Juices will begin to flow, On another day
A little phrase can hit the mark A tiny word that's thrown away
A picture to ignite the spark, And here we go again
So when the night draws in and you're waiting for tomorrow
And you dream of sunshine all the way
And when you wake and see the sun that's shining through your window
You know it's time to rise and start again
Time to turn the brain to pause
And shut down for the day
Take a chance tomorrow brings
Something you can relay
They say tomorrow never comes, They say it's just a new today
Just looking from a new direction, can help you find your way
So when the night draws in and you're waiting for tomorrow
And you dream of sunshine all the way
And when you wake and see the sun that's shining through your window
You know it's time to rise and start again
You know it's time to rise and start again

LAST TRAIN
The last train running, She jumped aboard
It was the last train running, Out of town it rolled
It took her to nowhere, She didn't care
She just had to leave, Move on somewhere
The last train running, She jumped aboard
The first time he saw her, He thought she was the one
The first time he saw her it hit him, Like a shot from a gun
His heart missed a beat, As she walked through the door
Such was her beauty, His jaw hit the floor
The first time he saw her, he thought she was the one
They danced through the evening and he walked her home
She asked him to stay for a while
She told him her folks won’t be home for some time
And begged him to stop for the night
He woke in the morning, In a bed all alone
Yes he woke in the morning, His money and that woman had gone
He felt kind of stupid, So hurt was his pride
The first time they met, It was the first time she lied
He woke in the morning, In a bed all alone
The last train running, She jumped aboard
It was the last train running, Out of town it rolled
It took her to nowhere, She didn't care
She just had to leave, Move on somewhere
The last train running, She jumped aboard

THINK I'LL HAVE TO LET YOU GO
Should I write you down, should I shout you out?
Do I really want the world to know?
Are you just for me, or am I for you too?
Do I keep you close, or do I show?
Do I change my life, do I break the chain?
Do I follow you or break the rules?
Did I mean you then, do I mean you now?
Does anybody know what to do?
Oh resolution
What you doing to my life?
Are you holding me back I f I turn you around
Is my sticking to you causing strife?
Oh resolution
I think I have to let you go
Because I like what I had before you came around
And your being here is making me low
Well it’s not so long since you came around now
I’m gonna have to let you go
‘Cos you were just a dream, part of a crazy scheme
And now it’s time for you to blow
Oh resolution
What you doing to my life?
Are you holding me back I f I turn you around
Is my sticking to you causing strife?
Oh resolution
I think I have to let you go
Because I like what I had before you came around
And your being here is making me low

I'll Be Waiting
05:02

I'LL BE WAITING
Hear the breeze blowing through the trees
Feel the sun beating down
Watch the ships sailing, on the seas
Keep my feet on the ground
I’ll be waiting, when she walks back through the door
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be begging her for more
Children playing, on the beach
Building castles of sand
Lovers strolling, down the streets
Walking hand in hand
I’ll be waiting, when she walks back through the door
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be begging her for more
She’ll be coming, but I don’t know where or when
I keep on hoping, that we can still be friends
Made a promise, that’s all that I can say
They say she’s coming back tomorrow
But I’m praying it’s today
Light is fading, she’s not home
Guess I’ll call it a day
But I’ll wake the morning, full of hope
That she’ll be coming back to stay
I’ll be waiting, when she walks back through the door
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be begging her for more
I said she’ll be coming, but I don’t know where or when
I just keep on hoping, that we can still be friends
You know we, made a promise, that’s all that I can say
They say she’s coming back tomorrow
But I’m praying it’s today
They say she’s coming back tomorrow
But I’m praying it’s today

What's The Chances
04:44

WHAT’S THE CHANCES
What's the chances that we both were wrong
Or if both of us were right
What's the chances that we both can change
Turn the dark into the light
What's the chances that our horse comes in
6 to 4 or 3 to 1
What's the chances that we get to win
When they fire the starting gun
Chances taking chances
Decisions to be made
Follow guidance or break the rules
It's a chance we have to take
What's the chances that my team will win
Pretty slim, that's for sure
What's the chances they can maybe change
And be champions once more
Chances taking chances
Decisions to be made
Follow guidance or break the rules
It's a chance we have to take
Life is all about the chances
Take a chance on all we do
Whether fighting or romances
Some you win and some you lose
What's the chances of a world in peace
No more fighting no more war
What's the chances they will someday cease
Listen, you can hear the silence roar
Chances taking chances
Decisions to be made
Follow guidance or break the rules
It's a chance we have to take

Untamed

UNTAMED
Like a bird soaring high in the clear blue sky
A natural beauty I see
Flying wild on the breeze as she sweeps through the trees
Majestic and always so free
Like a storm hits the day with the wind and the rain
Lashing in everyone's face
Leaving a trail of destruction behind
Crushing all those in her wake
She's the one, yes she's the one, the one that's wild and free
A maelstrom crashing through your life
Living so dangerously
A typhoon raging, a hurricane blowing
A storm that will never yield
She's the one, yes, the one,
Always the woman for me
A beauty so rare with wild flowing hair
Weaving a web lures you in
Naturally wild, she's fierce, full of pride
An enchantress, leaves you in a spin
She's the one, etc etc
A spirit so fearless, emotion runs high
Nothing can stand in her way
As proud as a lion, she fights for the cause
So wild that there's no man can tame
Ferociously faithful she'll stand by your side
Determined to see out the course
Untamed and unbroken she'll fight in your corner
A natural tour de force
She's the one, etc etc

Refugees

REFUGEES
They tramp along their weary way
Possessions they have none
Forced to seek another life
Until the war is done
A passage to a safer place
Is all that they can crave
A race to flee oppressive ones
To cheat an early grave
Leaving all they know behind
Dodging all the shells
Racing to the borderline
Escaping from war's hell
Leave their homes and family
To find another world
All because they want to save
Their little boys and girls
Freedom's all the people want
A passage to release
Some hope for all their little ones
To live a life in peace
A passage through the mountains
A passage over seas
A route to flee the tyrants
In an effort to be free
The passages are few and far
Away from battle's scars
Where people need to know they'll be received with open arms

FALLING
The nightfall gathers round me, the voices have no face
They chant my name in canticle, and drift away in space
The light comes up, I see you, holding out your arms
I reach out for your fingers, to keep me from the harm
I'm falling down a deep dark hole, Grabbing at the sides
Nothing there to break my fall, Tears I cannot hide
Every time I near you, you move so far away
The darkness is returning, I need you more each day
I'm falling down a deep dark hole, Grabbing at the sides
Nothing there to break my fall, Tears I cannot hide
Suddenly I'm in a smoke filled room Singing to a crowd
Of faceless, shapeless beings Screaming 'buddy you're too loud'
They storm the stage to grab me, as I try to run away
And just as they're approaching, I wake to see the day
I've climbed out of that deep dark hole, now my breathing starts to ease
I'm lying in my empty bed, realising it's a dream

Inside My Wall

INSIDE MY WALL
When I saw you on the outside,
I thought you'd be the one
With you I’ll spend my every day together
You didn't even see me, you didn't know I saw
The day I held you in my arms forever
I didn't have the nerve to talk to you that night
You never knew how much I longed to hold you
So I just kept on watching and you just didn't know
How much my beating heart was yearning for you
I'm building a wall help me stop it falling down
Please be the glue that holds it all together
Yes I'm building a wall to keep you on the inside
And I'm hoping that this wall will last forever
I long to hold you and tell you how I feel
But will you feel the same, I don't know
I need to feel you within my aching arms
To hold you close and never let you go
My wall is almost finished but it just don’t feel quite right
Without you here my bricks are missing mortar
I need to have you with me to hold those bricks in tight
And I'm still hoping I can win you over

Winning Sin

WINNING SIN
Take a drink or take a smoke? Make your mind up soon
Uppers, downers what you gonna choose?
High or low you go too show If you're out or in
You know you have to make a choice So choose your winning sin
Put your money on a horse Or place it on a card?
You know you can't do both, so which to choose
Your pay is gone your bank is closed Your time is running out
So take a step back, look ahead At what you got to lose
D'you take a bottle from the counter?
Or get a spoon out of the drawer?
Maybe lay some cash down on a 'certain' chance,
Baby what you gonna score?
It's time to take a look around Make yourself a choice
Do you carry on this downward trend
If you gamble drink and smoke It ain't a pretty thing
So if you want a future life Don't choose a winning sin
So leave the bottle on the counter.
Put the spoon back in the drawer
Keep your cash back in your old blue jeans.
Baby you don't need to score
High or low you got to show, If you're out or in
If you don't want to pay the price
Don't choose a winning sin

Raise Your Glasses

RAISE YOUR GLASSES
A baby cries out it's a new beginning
A sign of hope for something new
The voice a symbol of a generation
A beam of light that's shining through
The school bell sounds another chapter opens
A time to learn a thing or two
To make connections and get friendships started
As they can last a whole life through
So raise your glasses to the new arrivals
Wish them well in all they do
Give some thanks to those who came before them
Sing a song about them too
Go to work adapt to new surroundings
Time to play a different game
Raise a family see your new horizons
And start the process off again
So raise your glasses to the new arrivals
Wish them well in all they do
Give some thanks to those who came before them
Sing a song about them too
A light goes out another lifetime passes
But just make sure that all that's done
Will leave some smiles upon the broken-hearted
Of memories of all that's gone
So raise your glasses to the now departed
Thank them all for what they've done
Sing a song to those about to stumble
Into a life that's just begun

SUMMERHOUSE
I was just a kid playing in the sun
Happy all my friends and me
Laughing, joking always having fun
Ain’t that the way it's supposed to be
Used to ride our bikes through the sun and the wind and the rain
Never being alone
Kicking footballs scoring winning goals
And everybody’s house was like our own
At summerhouse on the island
Is where I long to be
At summerhouse on the island
Is always home to me
We always had such a good time
All my friends and me
Life was easy and simple then
Memories come flooding back to me
All these thoughts of days gone by
I begin to form a plan
To return to my childhood days at
Summerhouse on the island
At summerhouse on the island
Is where I long to be
At summerhouse on the island
Is always home to me
Now take me back to summerhouse on the island
Where my spirit can run free
At summerhouse on the island
Where it’s always home to me

WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE
I remember all the good times when we first set out
I've been thinking of the time when you said
That you loved me then and that you would for all of time
And we'd be together come what may
Well I'd feel the warmth of you beside me in my bed
Around the closing of the day
I remember how you used to smile and used to love
Whatever happened to us babe
I'm so sorry that we came undone
I'm so sorry that you felt that way
At the end of it when everything is said and done
I don't regret a single day
Remember when we led upon that southern beach
And the water it was lapping at your toes
And you said you’d love me and you wish that this would never end
But we know just how the story goes
I'm so sorry that we came undone
I'm so sorry that you felt that way
At the end of it when everything is said and done
I don't regret a single day
As the years go rolling by
We started drifting apart
I didn’t know how to pull us together
And try to mend our broken hearts
Well I guess you felt the need to have to move on by
And my love I hope you'll find one day
To have some happiness once more inside your wounded soul
I wish you well for every day
I'm so sorry that we came undone
I'm so sorry that you felt that way
At the end of it when everything is said and done
I don't regret a single day
At the end of it when everything is said and done
I don't regret a single day
