Obstructions

It started out good at first

Listening to each other’s words

But then we hit a ditch

And it all broke out

All these feelings

We have buried for year

The obstructions were

On your side of the road

Maybe you should learn

To read your highway code

You need to be reading these signs

Don’t you know this is a

A tow way street

And you don’t always

Have the right of way

Better be backing it up

A little before you find it’s too late

The obstructions you

Just ignored you carried on

Down that one way street

Of yours

Then wondered why

 I went to the nearest exit

You turned around

And I was gone

I would give it all

I’d give it all I’d give it all to you

I would turn this grey skys

I would turn this grey skys

So blue, just for you

I would take a star out this midnight sky

And set the sparkle back in your life

Just to see you smile again

So there’s no need for you

To sit there on your own

Know that my door will all always be open

For you

I’d give it all I’d give it all to you

I would turn this grey skys

I would turn this grey skys

So blue, just for you

I would give you the sun

Wrap up the moon

So don’t you worry baby

For I’ll be home soon

So there’s no need for you

To sit there on your own

Know that my door will all always be open

For you

I’d give it all I’d give it all to you

I would turn this grey skys

I would turn this grey skys

So blue, just for you

So when this get’s to much for you my friend

Come find me at the rainbow’s end

For I will be there I will there waiting for you

The girl for me

I found the girl for me

The other side of this TV screen

This picture in this magazine

I found the girl now of my dreams

She's so cute she is so beautiful

She's got it going on believe you me

She's not the girl next door

She's from a different world

And I love her or the more

I'm in love with a jazz star

You should hear the way she sings

And plays guitar

I know I'm only dreaming

But it doesn't cancel out

This way of feeling

I'm in love I'm in love

With a jazz star

I'm in love with a jazz star

You should hear the way she sings

And plays guitar

I know I'm only dreaming

But this doesn't cancel out

This way I'm feeling

Just one look in her eyes

She has you hooked

She'll have you hypnotised

So she's the only girl you’ll see

Caught in between reality and your dreams

From the other side of this TV screen

To all the pictures in this magazine

This is the girl of my dreams

Butterfly

I ones did see a butterfly sing
Through a dance of colour
As it fluttered its wings
The notes it did bring
Made me all a shiver


As the sun light rose
Upon this rose
I could see my life so much clearer
Through the rain drops that fell to ground
I knew then, this day was over


The butterfly did say-hi
The flew away to the next flower
Made my life so sweet
Little butterfly was so unique
I’d like to thank you for such a display of colour
And the music that you did play
Will now stay with me forever

A dedication to Katie Melua

Separate Lives

Separate rooms with separate TV’s
Set apart this family
Tow people in there home
Yet they’re all alone

Separate rooms with separate TV’s
Living separate lives
To blind to see

Drifted apart in a short
Space of time
Makes me feel loves
Is just a wasted line

Separate rooms with separate TV’s
Soon this will be
The same with everything

Fall in love then
Just there on settees
That’s not the life for me

I want to see the world
Not just on TV
To have someone to share
The experience with me

To say we’ve been
That we have seen
And lived the dreams
Not in separate rooms with separate TV’s

My Life - My Days

All through my life, all through my days
I find myself still quite amazed,
For whenever I have split
With some love or so
All my friends, there’s no surprise
They all come out with the same old lines.

Like it was just not meant to be
Or there’s plenty of fish left in the sea
Time is a great healer
You will see
That I’m better off without
Come on now seriously.

All of this drives me insane
Old wives tales are part to blame
And cliché are as guilty as hell
All of this reminds me of you
And these things they say
Just drive me insane
Like today

When everyone keeps telling me
There’s plenty of fish in the sea
Yet they fail to say the trawlers
Been past previously
Some slip through the nets
And some are just a gull main course

Old wives tales, Theses clichés
Come on now seriously
Yet I’m still amazed all through my life
All through my days
When all I needed was a hug or too
A little understanding
Not your point of view
