Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don’t be afraid to care.
Leave but don’t leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

how can the memories of a loved one stay
many years after they have left us
eleven years have hurried by
and yet it seems only a fraction of time

sands in the hourglass continue to flow
just as life continues regardless
and yet your face is still imprinted
albeit blurred around the edges

grief is a funny thing, they say time heals all
but they dont tell you that the pain lingers on
it turns up without fail year after year
to remind us of what we have lost

i am glad that peace found you
you whose soul was as tortured as mine
you were a bright star whose light shone brightly
for a brief moment in time

the pain of grief i feel now only serves to remind me
so that i never forget what you meant
and i shall raise a glass to you tonight
and smile through my tears.

for andrew, 11 years gone but never forgotten. xx

Anybody’s dream can fall apart
Anybody’s mask can break
Couldn’t tell you how I wanted you
Enough to make you want to stay
I never said the words out loud
I guess I couldn’t get’em straight
Baby, give me one more chance
Before you walk away
It’s only, only, only my heart talkin’
Yeah, it’s only, only, only my heart talkin’
Saying things I never thought I’d say
Can’t you hear me knocking
Tried to fool you but it wouldn’t play
Cuz my heart it’s talkin’, it’s talkin’
Baby, it’s talkin’
Talkin’to you
Every time I take it to the edge
Every time I’m so afraid
Don’t you know I cry my eyes out, babe
Every time you look away
Oh, I almost dropped a tear
But I caught it just in time
I’d say the things you want to hear
If you’d help me, help me, help me try
It’s only, only, only my heart talkin’
Yeah, it’s only, only, only my heart talkin’
Saying things I never thought I’d say
Can’t you hear me knockin’
Tried to fool you but it wouldn’t play
Cuz my heart it’s talkin’, it’s talkin’
Baby, it’s talkin’
Talkin’to you
Well, I don’t want to hide away
Hide away without you, baby
Don’t you go and run away
Come on and help me, baby
Just a little help, baby
Oh, my little baby

People are strange when you’re a stranger

Faces look ugly when you’re alone

Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted

Streets are uneven when you’re down

When you’re strange

Faces come out of the rain

When you’re strange

No one remembers your name

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

People are strange when you’re a stranger

Faces look ugly when you’re alone

Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted

Streets are uneven when you’re down

When you’re strange

Faces come out of the rain

When you’re strange

No one remembers your name

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

Faces come out of the rain

When you’re strange

No one remembers your name

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

When you’re strange

Time and again I’ve longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I’ve found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.
(chorus)
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I’ll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine.

[Cymorill]

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I’ve been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can’t break my spirit – it’s my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile.
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I’d be the father of your child.
I’d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine,
And I love you, I swear that’s true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I’m asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I’m kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow

Alone with my thoughts this evening
I walked on the banks of Tyne
I wondered how I could win you
Or if I could make you mine
Or if I could make you mine

The wind it was so insistent
With tales of a stormy south
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
There came a dryness in my mouth
Came a dryness in my mouth

For then without rhyme or reason
The two birds did rise up to fly
And where the two birds were flying
I swear I saw you and I
I swear I saw you and I

I walked out this morning
It was like a veil had been removed from
Before my eyes
For the first time I saw the work of heaven
In the line where the hill had been
Married to the sky
And all around me every blade of singing grass
Was calling out your name and that
Our love would always last
And inside every turning leaf
Is the pattern of an older tree
The shape of our future
The shape of all our history
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Came things I’d never seen
Things I’d never seen

I was brought to my senses
I was blind but now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me

I know it’s true
It’s written in a sky as blue
As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
If nature’s red in tooth and claw
Like winter’s freeze and summer’s thaw
The wounds she gave me
Were the wounds that would heal me
And we’d be like the moon and sun
And when our courtly dance had run
Its course across the sky
Then together we would lie
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Something new would arrive
Something better would arrive

I was brought to my senses
I was blind but now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me

[Cymorill]

lost in a hellish nightmare, i cry out
cant seem to find my way in the dark
no compass star to guide me on my path
no candle in the window to light my way

the briars on the path shred my clothes
turning me into a ragged wretch
pale skin flecked with crimson
reminiscent of the vampire that feeds within

walls appear from nowhere and seem
to block my path, boxing me into my
very own prison, crushing all breath
from my lungs

like a small child in the dark
i feel afraid, scared of the monsters that
dwell deep within my own mind
screaming at me, tearing at me from within

i cry for help, but my voice is carried away
on the howling wind, stealing my breath
so no one can hear my desperate plea
and i know i am lost in my own nightmare alone.

[Cymorill]

there are no miracles in this world for me
and so i shall cease to wait
i have surrendered to the darkness at last
and found comfort in its icy embrace

if you look for a ray of light you will find it blinds you
so you cannot see the clouds that appear from behind
i have learnt to open my eyes and i can see clearly
for the first time in my life.

do not look for faith
do not look for hope
do not look for love
they are merely whispers on a breeze.

[Cymorill]

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
He’ll get my support
He will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
He’ll hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact He’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
He will understand me
Aaaahhhhh….

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh….
