Difference

I need to look, see through any window
I need to look see through my window
I need to see the difference it makes

when daylight says hello... then turns away
and darkness is your stranger comin' in from
the cold and... then turns away

'cause my new mornin' says hello
and...
I need to look through my window
without any restraint, I need to look
to see the difference it makes

Southern sea

Southern sea, is where my life began
among the shells, among the rocks
that can tell

there's a cold wind blowing
it carries memories across
makes me shiver

water, glitters with a strange light
flowing with a steady motion
without me knowing

it's been a lifetime I knew
the waters I went through
and I live in the waves of the tide

it offers me peace of mind
it's one of those nights
a clear moon showing

silence through an' through
where are you now
Southern sea has taken you

Blue, Blue, Heart

It's cold, wet an' dark, it's the time of the year

that turns your head in a downward spin

a

promise a 'cold, wet an' dark winter time blues'

will set in

 

starin' at your TV, sippin' some leftover wine

hoping it will turn for the better and... 

Christmass is of your mind

 

another year  will be standing guard

with its 'cold, wet and dark  heart',  yet

I discover a ray of light and... my

darkness is surprised

it is sunshine it reappears, clears up my sky,

clears up my mind and for a moment...my 'cold,

wet and dark blues' disappear are out of sight

 

I'm alive, singin', shinin' life's good for a while

with that other year, a new year singin' its song

standin' guard a promise my 'cold, wet an' dark

winter time blues' will choose to leave my

blue, blue heart

Sunshine

there ain't no Sunshine where I go
no Sunshine...where love grows cold
no Sunshine...when it dies in the Streets
no Sunshine...when its destruction
is...
complete

Time to spare

I don't know
what I'm doing
I really don't care
I've got time to spare

so I sit in an easy chair
feeling wonderfull
I,ve got time to spare

look out the window
see all the people

I couldn't really care
I've got time to spare

this easy chair
fits like a glove

it's difficult
to get out of

and when I do
I get to the fridge
for a cold beer
get back and sit

I sit and watch TV
all day
I really don't care
I've got time to spare

I've got nothing else to do
got no urge to

I really don't care
I've got time to spare

livin' like that

it appears out of nowhere
as clear as the sky
it's what I rememeber
of a time hidden inside

when clouds weren't there
a good time we shared
so cold now on my own
I'd like somebody to show

as it always happens
clousds get in the way
guess livin' like that
will never come again

Lovely Beth

 

 

 

hard as a nail, hard as a bed

 

was lovely Beth, we've put to rest

 

lovely Beth was all that, she was a cold storm

 

a

 

screamin' kettle, a horse in a trot

 

lovely Beth was all that

 

 

soft in her head, soft in her heart

 

soft in her parts, soft an' very hard

 

lovely Beth was all that

 

 

a

 

mouse keen on cheese, a car in a junkyard,

 

a cow in a supermart

 

lovely Beth was all that

 

 

sof in her head, soft in her heart, soft in her parts

 

soft an' very hard

 

hard as a nail, hard as a bed

 

was  lovely Beth

 

 we've

 

put

 

to

 

rest

prey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we're hunted prey

 

 

locked in to position

 

he's

 

 lookin down the barrel

 

a

 

kill in the making

 

 

he's a loner, doesn't care

 

it's how he lives

 

malicious,

 

cold

 

 

no feelings, has clarity, never asks why

 

a

 

gentleman in disguise

 

 

cold and kind, one of a kind

 

 

takes your life,

 

one of a kind

 

 

we're hunted prey

 

locked in to position

 

ready for the kill

 

he

 

knows

Livin' like that

it

 

appears out o' nowhere as clear as the sky

 

it's what I rememember of that time hidden inside

 

when clouds weren't there

 

it

 

was a good thing we shared

 

now

 

so cold out on my own, I'd  like somebody to show

 

as

 

always clouds get in the way, guess livin' like that

 

will never come again
