(i won't be without you)



written - 18/03/05

about - false love

collection - room card only, 2004 (track 18)

lyrics -

who put the fire in my heart out?
i'm staring at a starless sky
traffic waiting at the roundabout
i've got that glint in my eye

but i won't be without you
not like a dream where i don't wake up

i won't be without you

i won't be without you

i won't be without you

i won't be without you

i won't be without you

i won't be without you

a powerful reality

written - 29/6/2004

about - dreams in life

collection - only me (2004) track 7

lyrics -

these clouds of mine are drifting by
and they won't tell me why
my local street looks american

the dreams we have you understand
are what God might have planned
before the world was counterfeit

hey hey hey
i was looking away
from the time of my life
hey hey hey at what price?

in life's uplands you never land
upon the golden sand
we read about as school children

on summer nights my parasites
are never by my side
they're locked inside treasure chests

hey hey hey
i was looking away
from the time of my life
hey hey hey at what price?

don't think you're alone
don't feel you're alone
everybody's in the same boat
pray it's not the titanic

collection - charing cross (track 4)

lyrics -

i've been round hers again
these nights just pass me by
i won't deny myself
the right to make her mine

but maybe she won't have me
i'm a spark that she won't light
those two stars they travelled together
but never quite collide
