higher

this song is one of my favourites. i wrote it in 2004 in bournemouth just on the way to my job working by the beach, with the sun beating down and my thoughts of a fun free world, this song came instantly and worked its way into my head. i changed the title a lot, even called it "bournemouth song" and "sun beats" before realising the song itself takes us higher...

written - summer 2004

where - bournemouth

on collection - only me (2004) and twenty five yer havin a laugh (2005)

lyrics -

SUN beats down DOWN down on me
every THOUSAND miles i go
love love LOVE don't come for FREE
that's ALL you'll need to know

rain BEATS down down down on ME
every THOUSAND miles i go
guns guns GUNS come shoot him down
pretty GRAVES all in a row

these days take me higher higher her higher her her
higher in the sun
higher in the rain
higher in the fun
higher in the pain

rain beats DOWN down down on me
every thousand MILES i go
world WORLD world sleeps peacefully
waiting for a wind to BLOW

time ticks TICKS ticks by so fast
every thousand miles i GO
memories won't EVER last
that's all you need to know

these days take me higher higher her higher her her
higher in the sun
higher in the rain
higher in the fun
higher in the pain
