Not Unprepared

Thursday morning she packs her bags
Headed south again
Wednesday evening will be her last
Warm night, for the year
And there’ll be no more Friday’s at the hotel
All alone, but knowing everyone
And there’ll be no more Saturday morning markets
Where the only thing you can purchase
Is your health

And her heart rocks side to side,
and she feels warm and safe and
Not unprepared, for loving his face,
From day to day, no longer scared
Of waking up alone

It’s cold in his car
Tuesday evening, he’s driving home
Thinking of a girl from far away
He once spoke to on the phone
He smiles, that smile that takes her breath away
He reaches down to put the radio on
All this time he’s been listening
Now the only thing he can hear
Is her song

And his heart rocks side to side,
and he feels warm and safe
Not unprepared for loving her face,
from day to day no longer scared
Of waking up alone

And reaching for the phone
To dial her name
With the hope that she feels the same
All along, she’s heard his song
And this move has her heart to blame

And her heart rocks side to side,
and she feels warm and safe and
Not unprepared, for loving his face,
From day to day, no longer scared
Of waking up alone
And his heart rocks side to side,
and he feels warm and safe
Not unprepared for loving her face,
from day to day no longer scared
Of waking up,
Waking up, waking up,
Waking up, waking up
She’s waking up, waking up

 

I feel nowhere

My back is curved as I,
Do wrap around my
Pillow and I fear the worst is
Yet to come

And my mind feels so tight,
Will this be my demise
Thoughts hum as I lay still,
Can’t find the strength to rise
From this space, stretch strain
These thoughts form my brain

I am here, Are you there?
All I fear, I’ll go nowhere

Yet I lay and feel warm,
Empty of decent thought
My seams they start to stretch,
My dreams they start to show
And I don’t wear them so proudly,
Don’t speak so loudly

Cause I am here, you are here
And we are there
All I fear, I’ll go nowhere

 

I Take The Blame

Silently I watch, the clouds roll in
Staring straight ahead, the place I’ve been
And you, don’t seem the same
And I, I take the blame

Facing to my right, a new road leads
But facing to my wrong, another pleads
And you, don’t seem the same
And I, I take the blame

Sleep well my dear, Live only happens when your
Eyes are open, you’ll realise that life is
Always chosen, you learn your lesson when you

Take another look, Page by page
Each story has a name, to take on stage
And you, don’t seem the same
And I, I take the blame

Sleep well my dear, Live only happens when your
Eyes are open, you realise that life is
Always chosen, you learn your lesson when you

Sleep well my dear, Live only happens when your
Eyes are open, you realise that life is
Always chosen, you learn your lesson when you

 

Taking Back her Name

And so it goes, Please don’t cry
As two lover’s wave, to their love goodbye
Day to day, never the same
Common ground, Kept them safe and sound

Till one sad day she found the words to say
“I’ve lost your heart, I fear that you’ve lost mine
And love’s not enough, to mend this break
We need a change, that’s why I can’t stay”
Anymore

Love lost right from the start
Now they’ve gone and both ripped out their hearts
Tears will fall from their faces
The youngest child she weeps
The eldest loses sleep and it’s a shame
As she’s taking back her name

He starts the day
but what of her
Two feet on shaking ground
So far away
And in his heart
She walks alone
There is not a sound

He’s all alone
She can live
She’s far away
the kind of life
And now he knows
for herself
No one else to blame
Anymore

Love lost right from the start
Now they’ve gone and both ripped out their hearts
Tears will fall from their faces
The youngest child she weeps
The eldest loses sleep and it’s a shame
As she’s taking back her name
