Cloud Surfing.






Ribbons and bows in angel hair,
And sandy castles everywhere.
I see your eyes, it's so unfair,
Because you can be mine.

But now old friend the time has come,
For me and you we'll forever run,
To golden places, bathed in sun,
I know it's what has come.


Chorus
We've seen the clouds,
From both sides now,
From when and where,
And yet somehow,
There's no illusion,
Left to run,
We're surfing distant clouds.... this way.



The days have gone for acting strange,
You pass a smile, you know I've changed.
We lived and loved in every way,
And now it's time to go.

A heart that beat (ed), failed at last
We had much more than we had asked.
And lived our lives the fullest way,
By sharing love each day.


Chorus
We've looked at things,
From both sides now.
In war and peace,
But yet somehow,
There's no delusion,
Left to hold,
We're surfing distant clouds.... this way.



Remember when we took that dare,
To be with one another everywhere ?
We knew a love that was so rare,
That goes on for all time.

A power to love despite the fear,
Was what I held with you so near.
And family fun through every day,
You blessed my life that way.


Chorus
We share our love,
From both sides now,
With give and take,
And still somehow,
There's no confusion,
Left to take,
We're surfing distant clouds.... this way.





Based upon the song and music of Joni Mitchel's, 'Both Sides Now.'
One of the best songs ever written.

Run, (live on darling)

 
Run, (live on darling)





Slow musical intro.



V1
It wouldn't be so bad sweet darling,
If we hadn't argued that way.
Did you walk ahead in anger,
Strode on without a care to say  ?

V2
I wish I had been fairer now,
Distressed I let my temper go.
It's really not your fault my love,
That I forgot to let you know.



CHORUS

I can't breath.......
My heart is breaking...
As you suffer for this pain in me..
You have been my only reason...
Please run my darling..... 
Come back and set me free.

V3
The rain is falling upon my heart,
This place has not been known before.
Treachery in an icy storm,
Sees my love brought to the floor.

V4
As an echo in my distant dreams,
I call out to spare the pain...
But you can't hear above the boom,
Thunder peals across the rain.



CHORUS

I can't breath.......
My heart is breaking...
As you suffer for this pain in me..
You have been my only reason...
Please run my darling..... 
Come back and set me free.



Middle 8. (Take melody down, then raise up, hopeful of a cure)



V5
Now wires and tubes hang coldly,
This nausea brings me tears to sting.
An awful feeling caused by me,
Cause my throbbing ears to ring.

V6
I feel for your shallow pulse,
Your breath so quiet it's almost none.
I beg you darling, return to me,
To the land that you and I'll run..




CHORUS

I can't breath.......
My heart is breaking...
As you suffer for this pain in me..
You have been my only reason...
Please run my darling..... 
Come back and set me free.



Repeat of V1

It wouldn't be so bad sweet darling,
If we hadn't argued that way.
Did you walk ahead in anger,
Strode on without a care to say  ?

Repeat of V2

I wish I had been fairer now,
Distressed I let my temper go.
It's really not your fault my love,
That I forgot to let you know.



CHORUS

I can't breath.......
My heart is breaking...
As you suffer for this pain in me..
You have been my only reason...
Please run my darling..... 
Come back and set me free.




Then. (Spoken slowly)

Run... please live on darling.
Run...and know I love you so...!!





About a woman out walking after a row, knocked over by a passing car on a wet deserted road. Her lovers thoughts about her being in this coma because of him.

You make it look so easy


You make it look so easy





Rambling melodies... April blossoms....
There's a light on the breeze...
You hum tunes I'd forgotten....
Plucking chords..... coaxing heaven...
You appear to be dreaming...
How your heart beats in a rhythm...

Chorus
But it's only now that I'd noticed....
Your support always kept me.
Living life to it's fullest....
Your voice knew how to lift me....
'Cos your love is so easy.............to me...


In a way..... I can't capture....
Fingers tickle.. and tease me..
Sending my spirit..into rapture..
I'm in awe... of the graces...
Hearing your poetic lyrics bring...
Only big smiles...to our faces....

Chorus
But it's only now that I'd noticed....
Your support always kept me.
Living life to it's fullest....
Your voice knew how to lift me....
'Cos your love is so easy.............to me...

(Middle 8)
Musical diversion, possibly wind instrument


But I know how… you send it...
In the voice... I am hearing...
Even if....our passion ended....
Such love for life... you are keeping..
Always passed on...with patience...
Until my eyes begin....with their weeping...

Chorus
But it's only now that I'd noticed....
Your support always kept me.
Living life to it's fullest....
Your voice knew how to lift me....
'Cos your love is so easy.............to me...
Chorus
But it's only now that I'd noticed....
Your support always kept me.
Living life to it's fullest....
Your voice knew how to lift me....
'Cos your love is so easy.............to me...

No more rhyme,no more reason.

No more rhyme,no more reason.




Lord knows, I've been lonely
In the days of darkness....
Nothing came to rescue me....

Now it's time...to kill or cure
For the pain won't leave me..
Without a powerful cure....

Chorus
And this day, has just got darker..
Feelings that you'll always be away...
Did I never show you courage....?
No rhyme, no more reason..
All I know...you'd walked away..

(Mid 8)
And it don't matter........
I could never leave you...
Even though....you had walked away.

So I come back to hating..
All the pain inside me..
In a world that you left...

All is crime without a passion..
How do I keep going...on..?
When everything....seems somehow wrong.

Chorus
And this day, has just got darker..
Feelings that you'll always be away...
Did I never show you courage....?
No rhyme, no more reason..
All I know...you'd walked away..

(Mid 8 ½)
Baby love or leave me..
All I know...is this loss...
Everyday is...like a waking nightmare..

Chorus
And this day, has just got darker..
Feelings that you'll always be away...
Did I never show you courage....?
No rhyme, no more reason..
All I know...you'd walked away..

Then I'm smashed but healing..
Feeling heat come from inside me.
Never give in..to overwhelming loss..

All the dreams are calling...
Coming here to save me...
Yet you are so very....far away.

Chorus
And this day, has just got darker..
Feelings that you'll always be away...
Did I never show you courage....?
No rhyme, no more reason..
All I know...you'd walked away..

(Pace slows right down)

Symmetry returned... I breath
Deeply in....a new fragrance...
And I know... so sweetly...
There never was.. a rhyme or reason...

ANNA CORCORAN.

It's the gentle things you do.


It's the gentle things you do.



Yes you are beautiful unto my eyes,
And bring more sunshine than the open skies.
If I'd not seen
An angel smile from within you,
I would have grown suspicious,
Of the gentle things you do...

It is close to heaven here with you,
The greatest days of my life are never blue.
You shine the light
Of love when you care.
And my beating heart
Drives my soul aware..


Chorus

Your eyes burn bright.....
Your smile counteracts my doubt,
These gifts I'd never live without.
But beauty pales when I compare...
It's your gentleness that keeps my eye..
It's the gentleness of things you do....


I faint beside your passionate kiss...
When time drains away,
You are all I miss......
I see the curves of heavens love
Were formed with you...
Purity of the snow white dove...


Chorus

Your eyes burn bright.....
Your smile counteracts my doubt,
These gifts I'd never live without.
But beauty pales when I compare...
It's your gentleness that keeps my eye..
It's the gentleness of things you do....


(Middle 8 below)

Your breath is gentle....
The light is shining bright....aha..aaa.
Your heat is gentle....
That you can fill me with love....la la la..
Your smile is so gentle....
It's the gentle things that you do.....aha..aaa....
Aha...aaa...aaa...aaa....aaa...


Chorus

Your eyes burn bright.....
Your smile counteracts my doubt,
These gifts I'd never live without.
But beauty pales when I compare...
It's your gentleness that keeps my eye..
It's the gentleness of things you do....

La..la..la...la....la.la..la...la...la.lah.....
La..la..la...la....la.la..la...la...la.lah.....
La..la..la...la....la.la..la...la...la.lah.....
La..la..la...la....la.la..la...la...la.lah.....

Rose with tiny thorns


Rose with tiny thorns




Imperceptible are the scratches,
I feel when I'm by your side.
The Rose that carries no thorns,
Is where my soul will abide...

Chorus
I breathe deeply in your fragrance,
Could my heart be better known.
I dance with love surrounding me,
The call to life is stronger here,
My call to life has come.

Times are ever changing us,
But what blessings there will be.
The Rose that heaven sent to care,
Does feed the very soul of me..

(middle 8)
And I shall walk beside,
The girl of golden light.
The Rose of ancient fables,
Here before me day and night.

Chorus
I breathe deeply in your fragrance,
Could my heart be better known.
I dance with love surrounding me,
The call to life is stronger here,
My call to life has come.

My Rose buds in the springtime,
Holds her colours throughout the year.
And whether it be dark or light,
She is always bringing festive cheer..

Chorus
I breathe deeply in your fragrance,
Could my heart be better known.
I dance with love surrounding me,
The call to life is stronger here,
My call to life has come.

A holy angel with tiny thorns,
Never brings me down in angst.
The Rose of timeless seasons has,
Flourished even where my river banks.

Chorus
I breathe deeply in your fragrance,
Could my heart be better known.
I dance with love surrounding me,
The call to life is stronger here,
My call to life has come.
Chorus
I breathe deeply in your fragrance,
Could my heart be better known.
I dance with love surrounding me,
The call to life is stronger here,
My call to life has come.

She was the Byrne of my heart.


She was the Byrne of my heart.














 




Sun setting, glowing lights now fade.
The call of the evening has arrived,
In the foot fall of a tiny angel,
Filling my ears and eyes with love again.

Singing words and lullaby's now,
She puts me into an easy rest.
A hard day has ended at last,
And I shall dance with my lover.


Chorus
For she flows so sweetly,
So freely like the mountain Byrne,
Where I have always loved to bathe.
Her waters cleanse my beating heart,
And in this spell of hers I'm saved...


The morrow shall bring a freshness,
When I have laid with her all night.
Invigorated by the love she gave,
A tenderness behind her loving eyes.

My feet shall fall on greenest fields,
When I wander with her in the heather.
My heart has known no better tune,
Than the bloom we shared always together.


Chorus
For she flows so sweetly,
So freely like the mountain Byrne,
Where I have always loved to bathe.
Her waters cleanse my beating heart,
And in this spell of hers I'm saved...

Where I have always loved to bathe.
Her waters cleanse my beating heart,
And in this spell of hers I'm saved...


Better if I should die right now,
Than to have lived not knowing her.
In every moment of every day,
I shall bless the breath she shared.

Amongst the eternal memories of life,
She has been the one I treasured the most.
The burn my heart has felt for her,
Has made me a happy man.


Chorus
For she flows so sweetly,
So freely like the mountain Byrne,
Where I have always loved to bathe.
Her waters cleanse my beating heart,
And in this spell of hers I'm saved...

One way street.


 







Love can be a one way street,
Despite our hope to share.
Only we can know our prayer,
A like minded partner to meet.

Fond of love we hope to be,
And ambitions to know and multiply.
I spot you from the corner of my eye,
Pursue a love to set me free.


Chorus
But no-one knows the way ahead,
And life can be a one way street.
No-one knows how to change the wind,
Or make my love complete,
You'd make my life complete.



Trials can challenge how we feel,
And teach us how to care.
Being close to you I bear,
All hope this love is real.

Being close to you now proves,
The light I'd almost never known.
I want to show the love has grown,
You hold the power that moves.


Chorus
But no-one knows the way ahead,
And life can be a one way street.
No-one knows how to change the wind,
Or make my love complete,
You'd make my life complete.



(Middle 8)
Spirit of life and love,
Commit me to your power.
Being blessed with the love you give,
Fills every day and endless hour.



Chorus
But no-one knows the way ahead,
And life can be a one way street.
No-one knows how to change the wind,
Or make my love complete,
You'd make my life complete.



And now I accept this direction,
You've shown me how to live.
Comfort me in the way you give,
Always coveting me with affection.

I feel the peace of giving in,
To allow the flow of harmony.
Believe in things I cannot see,
And let the love of you move in.



Chorus
But no-one knows the way ahead,
And life can be a one way street.
No-one knows how to change the wind,
Or make my love complete,
You'd make my life complete.

Chorus
But no-one knows the way ahead,
And life can be a one way street.
No-one knows how to change the wind,
Or make my love complete,
You'd make my life complete.
