Show Me
Show me a man with love on his mind
Snow on the mountains birds in the sky
Wander the hills with the sun in our eyes
Show me no limits we’ll dance through the night
Drift on the wind we return on the tide
Together we fall and together we rise
Smile and the world shines on you
Laugh in the rain make daisies into chains
Watch the sunflowers climb into the blue
My Words
Don't let my words trouble you
Don't let my words bring you down
There are stars in your life yet to shine
When a cloak of superstition clouds my mind
We will stand and see the journey thru’
When cold of doubt and fearing numbs my heart
With spring hope will rise in us anew
Stand like the moon in a lonely sky
Never knowing or caring why
The dials of Father Time
Stand like a pine in a winter wind
Deep in a forest glade
Firm on the mountain side
When a cloak of superstition clouds my mind
We will stand and see the journey thru’
When cold of doubt and fearing numbs my heart
With spring hope will rise in us anew
Stand like stones of an ancient wall
Where armies of kingdoms fall
But the rocks of earth endure
Stand like a tower of burning light
Facing the waves and tide
At the edge of a stormy night
Don't let my words trouble you
Don't let my words bring you down
There are stars in your life yet to shine
Why Don't We
Why don't we do a little loving
Just you and me why don't we
Sit here on a sunny afternoon
Thinking all about lazy days in June
Thinking all about things young lovers do
Why don’t we lie beneath a blue sky
Just you and me why don’t we
Sit here on a sunny afternoon
Slipping into a dream of me and you
Float away on a warm and sandy dune
Why don't we stop and see
Butterflies and dandelions wild and free
Dreamers we like them could be
Drifting on a summers day so carelessly
Why don't we stay a little longer
Just you and me why don’t we
Sit here on a sunny afternoon
Forgetting all of our rent is overdue
Forgetting all about work and troubles too
Why don't we stop and see
Butterflies and dandelions wild and free
Dreamers we like them could be
Drifting on a summers day
All our cares are far away
Sit here on a sunny afternoon
You Know My Mind (based on Psalm 139)
You know my mind my thoughts are yours to read
My actions yours to see you hear before I speak
I run but you are there your knowledge is complete
Where could I escape from you?
If I choose the heavens the heavens are your home
If I choose the depths the depths belong to you
If I rise on wings sail far across the sea
Even there your hand guides me
If I try to hide the dark conceal my soul
You will search the dark the corners of my world
You will bring your light night will turn to day
Darkness is as light to you
Made within the deep the days you give to me
From womb 'til earth returned your will is mine to seek
I shall not understand before I fall asleep
Then will I awake with you
Owning of a name following a way
Search my heart O Lord be near when I have strayed
Know my anxious thoughts forgive when I offend
Lead me evermore your way
Small Town
Take your time no matter where you go
(There will be) There will be a time when there’s no place for you
Rainy days schoolyard games life is long
(See how they come………… how they go)
Seasons reasons roll into one
Take your time no matter what you see
(There will be) There will be a time when there’s no view from here
Nights out pub life young life hope is high
(See how they come………… how they go)
Fumbled words to girls whose eyes shine
Life in this small town remember our lives in this small town
Life in this small town remember our lives remember our lives in this small town
Take your time no matter what you do
(There will be) There will be a time when there’s no work for you
Factory gates union mate’s wife and child
(See how they come………… how they go)
These days become the times of your life
Take your time no matter how you feel
(There will be) There will be a time when there’s no feeling there
Seen through grey net curtains life is veiled
(See how they come………… how they go)
Change is on the outside unheard
Life in this small town remember our lives in this small town
Life in this small town remember our lives remember our lives in this small town
Linger On
Why can't I forgive somebody
Walk the other side of the street
Why don’t pride bow down before me
Why revenge is oh so sweet
Why don’t I forgive and maybe
Learn to turn the other cheek
How the load became so heavy
How the road became so steep
And so when evening comes around
And life is all but a memory
Echoes of our thoughts they linger on
Linger on
Speaking peace?
Linger on
Every garden works a wonder
Every flower scents the air
Every scent becomes a flavour
Of a way that lingers there
Every garden takes the children
Every rose becomes a name
Every child becomes a learner
Of a way that lingers there
And so when evening comes around
And life is all but a memory
Echoes of our thoughts they linger on
Linger on
Do we grieve?
Linger on
Your Tomorrow
Your tomorrow where did it go
My tomorrow your tomorrow where did it go
Raindrops gently falling
Out of the sky into a sea-green ocean
Falling slowly drowning
Sunbeams gently warming
Blazing a trail between the sun and the sea-green
Slowly drowning
Did we think that it would last
If we use up my tomorrow
Then we find your tomorrow’s gone
Where will we run to?
Desert shifting creeping
Under the wheels of the city sleeping
Creeping slowly drowning
Icebergs drifting falling
Out of the air into a sea-green ocean
Slowly drowning
Did we think that it would last……..
Oil wells beating pumping feeding
Raindrops gently falling waiting
Sunbeams streaming warming making creating
My tomorrow your tomorrow where did it go
My tomorrow your tomorrow where did it go
Did we think that it would last……..
The River*
There is a river (there is a river)
A river whose streams (a river whose streams)
Make glad the city (make glad the city)
The city of God
God is within her she will not fall
God will help her at break of day
There is a river there is a river
City of God
There is a river (a river)
A river whose streams (a river whose streams)
Make glad the city (make glad the city)
The city of God
There is a river water of life
Where none will go thirsty where streams are alive
And words of salvation reveal in their light
The city of God
There is a river water of life……..
God is within her she will not fall
God will help her at break of day
There is a river there is a river
City of God
There is a river wonderful river
