Whispers rise in the gentle air,
A fragile vow is floating there.
Every heartbeat is keeping time,
With the rhythm of your soul and mine.
No tomorrow can take this away,
In your arms, I want to stay.
In your arms
I want to stay…
He walks through the city, the lights all aglow,
Faces rush past him, but none seem to know.
He whispers to shadows, he speaks to the skies,
Asking the night where his true love hides.
But the stars keep their silence, the moon turns away…
A shadow in a crowded room,
No one saw the tears she wept.
She still kept her dreams inside.
Your story’s not forgettable,
The world was blind, but you still shined,
You are the proof, you are the flame.
I call your name
I call your…
Love is a riddle, whispered in rain,
A shadow that dances, a flame in the vein.
It breaks us to pieces, then stitches the seam,
A storm in the daylight, a hush in a dream.
Life is a river that never stands still,
It bends without reason…
Smoke fills the skies, the ground is breaking,
The world we knew is quietly forsaking,
Shadows stretch from corners unseen,
Whispers weave through the cracks between.
Eyes are waking, hearts are torn,
Storms are rising with each new morn…
“Broken Record”
Stuck in a groove like a broken record
Heart and my mind
It just won't let go
Oh
And it's takin' its toll
Been a year since you walked out the door
But here I am
Begging you for more
Why am I still not bored?
Baby…
"Turn Away to See"
The city's noise, the flashing lights,
They paint a world in black and white.
But somewhere past the neon glow,
There's something deeper we should know.
Close your eyes, step aside,
Feel the silence open wide.
Sometimes…
“Coffee in the Rain”
Drops are falling on my cup so plain
Mixing coffee with the sky's champagne
Clouds are whispering secrets in the air
Every sip tastes like I’m halfway there
Umbrella's broken but I don’t care
Shoes are soaked but…
"Fire on the Sand"
Golden sun is sinking low,
Waves are singing soft and slow.
And there she moves, wild and free,
Like a flame upon the sea.
Her auburn hair, it catches light,
Burning bright against the night.
Barefoot spinning, hearts…
“Broken Record”
Stuck in a groove like a broken record
Heart and my mind
It just won't let go
Oh
And it's takin' its toll
Been a year since you walked out the door
But here I am
Begging you for more
Why am I still not bored?
Baby…
“Picture on My Wal”
Late at night when the world fades out,
I’m staring at her face again.
Frozen in time, behind the glass,
She’s more than just a frame to me.
I don’t even know her name,
But I swear she calls my name.
Every brushstroke…
“Flying To Nowhere”
Sky's a map that's drawn in chalk
Breaking free from asphalt’s talk
Got no plans no strings no ties
Surfing on the milky skies
Chasing shadows feeling light
Pixelated endless flight
Where the stars and dreams collide…
Don't tell me the sky is falling
You're gonna break my heart
You look just like a friend I had
But I don't remember you
Come with me
You'll be safe in my arms
I'll hide you away
Your mom won't know
Your dad won't care
Your sister's…
On the last day of summer
The day before school
It started in the water
Everything was cool
Until we saw this thing appear
It didn't have a sound
This darkness in the water
Looked like a shroud
First
I thought
“I’m trippin’”
There…
How long did you think you could run for?
How long did you think you could hide?
I used to catch you in your sleep
And I'd sneak a peak at your dreams
And I watched you so close
From the back row
And I was always so slow
When I had you…
On the last day of summer
The day before school
It started in the water
Everything was cool
Until we saw this thing appear
It didn't have a sound
This darkness in the water
Looked like a shroud
First
I thought
“I’m trippin’”
There…
I let go of the weight, but I don’t say a word,
No need for a fight, no need to be heard.
You crossed the line, I saw the truth,
So I forgave you, but I won’t relive the proof.
No hate in my heart, no chains on my soul,
I set myself free…
Trucks pass by my house all night
Across the river east and west
I hike for several hours a day
And climb upon the granite crest
Where I can see the valley floor
And forest with its secret streams
The gold mined towns that lie below…
I see you laughing in the sunlight,
Her hand wrapped up in yours so tight.
And I stand here in the shadows,
Swallowing words I’ll never say.
I've loved you since the world was younger,
Since the stars were just a dream.
But fate ain't…
Trucks pass by my house all night
Across the river east and west
I hike for several hours a day
And climb upon the granite crest
Where I can see the valley floor
And forest with its secret streams
The gold mined towns that lie below…

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…
