i'm afraid i have to agree with juzzaa. I'm not angry jarm... just dissappointed. i feel slightly offended that u think those terrible lyrics are worth posting, it's a sad day.

*tongue placed in cheek so hard that it actually hurts*

Winter’s Rose

A frozen rose, idly stationed far away,
Sits with the Sun, above it glistening
The blankets of snow, upon which it lay
Begin to melt, oh this wondrous thing

Look out, my friend, be still, be smart
Over there, you see, a boy is listening
To the thunderous beat of the Rose’s heart
To the sound of old snow flakes twinkling

My friend, it is you of a younger age
Full of questions, full of questions
To you this Rose is a magical mage
Nothing so fine, has been seen for eons

-

But one question will lie with you beneath the grave
Will thee still know thy Love when the seasons change?

-

The following winter the snow came down
The Rose it grew three-fold, no, four
It grew and grew each time the cold came ‘round
For this truly is a Rose of Winter’s Law

Whenever spring came, followed it Sun
The snow went away, effortlessly
You looked after it, like it was your own
But one spring, you heard the wail of the banshee

The end was nigh, not for the Rose, but you
The night you died, we drank down our sorrows
‘Till the Sun came and the morning gave us dew
We set about burying you

-

One question still lies with you beneath the grave
Will thee still know thy Love when the seasons change?

-

The Rose now rests upon thy grave
Under your guidance the Rose grows well
The Rose is strong, you both were brave
I’ll see you soon, my friend, thank-you, fare thee well

polar bears

shut out the cold wind freezing the air
shut out the cold rain sparkling hair
cold frost glitters on cars and the ground
halation makes moon circles, rainbows so round

maybe it's an arabian night
or maybe it's just my turkish delight
but solar glares hurt polar bears

hotter embers warm the grate
i remember colder, something yet more great
distant memories of a distant past
something to hold on to, something to last

maybe it's an arabian night
or maybe it's just my turkish delight
but solar glares hurt polar bears

Default her wind

havent posted any lyrics in a spell. heres that remedy

her wind
doesnt blow through my chimes
her wind
touches no hair of mine
ill go out
in her storm if i please
and come out with
a pair a scraped knees
because i beg
i beg for your love
not your bed
not even your touch

and your fire
well it dont worry me much
you see your flames always
cold to the touch
are you ashamed?
your life burns like it does
are you ashamed?
you see your heart turn to dust
my rain
waters no fields i can see
but my rain
can still water your eyes for me
and theyll grow
never this big again
darling.
theres a lot of picture to take in
and your floods
sweep my heart off to sea
but my mind stays anchored safely
to the ground where your rains fall
the same air in which your winds will blow

you've got me questioning, what I have to offer
I don't feel worthless exactly, but wonder why I bother
you've gone from angel to misery in double quick time
and 'face like a slapped ass' is an appropriate line

for everyone else, you're all smiles and light
then you come home and bitch and I get ready to fight
your friends are so lucky in the girl that they see
you've got time enough for all, well, except for me

my passions are a problem as they whisk me away
now I'm scared to tell you when I'm off to play
you say we are on wavelengths like chalk and cheese
it's more like fighting a hurricane with a gentle breeze

so it's really quite simple when you look at the facts
instead of your light, I'm the bad man in black
I'm tired of the whining, and ice in our bed
**** off and find somone that makes you smile instead

hit me again

it's taken me a long time to realise
they're not out to get me and they're not all spies
people are bad and people are good
i think that's something seldom understood

white embers regain their flame
and for all this i'll claim the blame

hit me again, hit me again
hit me again cos i can take it
hit me again, hit me again
hit me again, cos you won't break it

it took me a while to stand up and shout
but that's what the business is all about
people can hear me through the walls
through their ceilings and down the halls

roasted crabs hissing in the bowl
toasted and drab, pissing on my soul

hit me again, hit me again
hit me again, cos i can take it
hit me again, hit me again
hit me again, cos you won't break it

stand straight and tall like pillars of rome
stand straight and tall like statues unknown

hit me again, hit me again
hit me again, cos i can take it
hit me again, hit me again
hit me again, cos you won't break it

The gentleness with which you play
Me by night, guitar by day
But like the guitar, of me you bore
And leave me cold upon your floor

My fingers find the grooves I made
From holding onto you
I've held on far much longer
Than you ever told me to

And now my dreams lie shattered
You're not the man I knew
Suddenly notes seem out of tune
And leave a wave of blue
And as these chords wash over me
My heart begins to ache
And fingers slip from worn out grooves
I fought so hard to make

So now my grip is failing
I cant just sit here waiting
Enough with all the aching
I will miss you...

For my bestest best friend in the entire world - Darren, I owe you my life...

The Talents of Friends

They pick you up when you fall down
Remove the obstruction from the ground
Wipe the tears that streak your face
Return you to your former grace
Hold you close when things get rough
Remind you that you're just as tough
Forgive whichever sins they see
And love you unconditionally

i think this is a great song, it reminds me especially about learning the guitar myself....i like the way you equate a relationship to that....'fingers slip from wornout grooves i fought so hard to make'....i think thats a gorgeous line....well done!

Ive just split up with my girlfriend and wrote these about her. Women

forgive me when were together,
doubt me when were apart.
Love me when were together,
and hate me when were apart.
Cant cope with it nomore,
Dont want to hurt and cry.
You never bored me,
But all i ask is why?

when you left me,
you said it was for good.
and you was gonna leave me,
you would stay if you could.
but i loved you to much,
For you to stay!
So u went your way.

As i watched you hail the cab,
Rain fell down on our face.
your cases were in the cab,
then your lips kissed me.
your taste on my lips,
made me cry for u to be with me.
made me cry for your passion,
for your passion.

when you left me,
you said it was for good.
and you was gonna leave me,
you would stay if you could.
but i loved you to much,
For you to stay!
So u went your way.

It was so long ago,
but my heart still cries for you.
Never felt this low before,
and never wanted you so much.

The Truth
I should have known,
And i should have known not to stay.
That night i was blown away,
Our naked bodies lay next to each other.
I thougth our love would never stray,
And forever we would be together.

If i said i loved you,
It was the truth.
And if i said i cared,
It was the truth.
Before it had started,
It had finished.

Remember our nights together,
And remember our nights together in bed.
Your blanket smelling of heather,
And your kiss in my head.
My tongue tasting your stomach,
And forever we wold be together.

If i said i loved you,
It was the truth.
And if i said i cared,
It was the truth.
Before it had started,
It had finished.

Im comin down of my high,
And now i see reality.
I wish i was still on that high,
And my heart would feel mighty.
One more night of passion,
And one more night in our new fashion!
I dont care what they say,
I dont care anymore
I only care for you to stay
I dont care no more.

If i said i loved you,
It was the truth.
And if i said i cared,
It was the truth.
Before it had started,
It had finished.

Cheers Mate!!

Look at Me!
Look me in the eyes,
and tell me how you feel.
look me in my eyes,
for i have something to tell.
I wanna say this before you leave
and i need to say this before my heart
bleeds.

I dont wanna hear what i want to hear,
as i know i will never expirience it.
i cant bear to be alone,
and have to deal with it.

So let us dance,
amd rest your head on my chest.
naked and alone in the rain we will dance,
and i will confess what.
I wanna say before you leave,
and i need to say this before my heart
bleeds.

I dont wanna hear what i want to hear,
as i know i will never expirience it.
i cant bear to be alone,
and have to deal with it.

¿Tan si usted desea ir, - So if you wanna go,
después de que todos lo que he dicho? - after all i have said?
¿y después qué he demostrado? - and after what i've shown?
¡entonces pondré en mi cama - then i will lay on my bed.
y pine para usted y rogaré para usted! - and i will pine for you and pray for you!
y opinión te quiero. - and say i love you.

Regret

Dont ask me why,
I never meant to leave you this way.
Dont ask me why,
i was never meant to love what you say.
And Dont ask me why,
I never meant to lose my way.
And give you my heart,
Thats all i wanted.
Not for us to be apart
Just ask me what i wanted.

Well i wanna touch your lips,
In the pourin rain.
and hold your hips,
as we dance in the rain.
Feel your body close to mine,
While drinkin wine.
And listenin to Damine Rice.

I should have tried,
to make heaven wait.
I should have tried,
not to change fate.
And I should have tried,
Though its not to late.
Cause one day i will hold you,
In another world.
Just me and you,
holdin each other close...

Well i wanna touch your lips,
In the pourin rain.
and hold your hips,
as we dance in the rain.
Feel your body close to mine,
While drinkin wine.
And listenin to Damine Rice.

So now im saying goodbye to you,
Im sayin i will always love you.
i will always miss you,
and care for you.
But till i see you again,
God will protect you.
and we will kiss in the rain,
and dance in the rain.

Well i wanna touch your lips,
In the pourin rain.
and hold your hips,
as we dance in the rain.
Feel your body close to mine,
While drinkin wine.
And listenin to Damine Rice.

when i get done with this
ill pass you my conclusion
alot more thinking to be done
its all just such confusion

where i go or what i do
time is going and iv alot to lose
i wonder why i am thinking this
as i know what would happen if

everyday i see you face
i wonder why im in your grace
sometimes when i look at you
i realise what i have to do

i want to be with you sweet darling
all of this has got me falling
from your ledge of friendliness
to the ledge i cant dismiss

i think of what it could be
i know that its not true
but why keep waiting for you show
what would really make my heaven glow

i know that this is foolish
i know that its not true
but i cant stress how much i long
for dream and thoughts to follow true

ill leave you with a question
what have i done wrong?
for you to not be needed
by someone who needs you

fairytales and little thoughts
of sunshine and the sea
will never make it to this earth
for you and me to see

i cant retract what i have done
i cant bring back the pass
i can however try my best
to finish this at last


all i need is fairytales and little thoughts of
sunshine and the sea
will fix me up beatufiully
and make for forget about thee.

when im finished ill give ya this
you wonder why its not fixed
ill leave you just this question to answer
what have i done

not really a song, well it has a chord structure to it but no chorus or nothing, i like to call it a collection of thoughts

I let you go.

Staring blankly at your face,
Watchin you smile.
its surrounded by a cheap frame,
And protected by glass.
Your long brown hair,
Hangs behind your back.
The colour of your cheaks,
Bright and happy.

Your sat on a bench,
And the picture sits on my desk.
Your picture goes hazy,
The taste of salt in my mouth.
I wipe away my tears,
And drink another drink.

Your below me now,
Still i look up to you.
I pray everynight,
For you to protect me.
Protect me till the day,
when im with you.
I remember seein your body,
Layin still in my arms.
Not saying a word,
Not breathing.

I hold your head to my chest,
Thinkin i was protectin you.
I began screamin your name,
Shoutin loud in vain.
Your body stil warm in my hand,
Your last words still in my head.
I kissed your lips then your head,
and then i let you go,
I let you go...

i remember you being lowered,
Watchin the coffin go in to its coffin.
The rain pattin on the lid,
And runnin down my suit.
People surrounding me,
Sayin it will be OK.
As i threw down the rose,
It landed on your Plaque.
Thats the sign i knew it was over,
Thats the sign i knew you was gone.

So now i sit here,
Staring at your face.
Longing for you to be here,
I remember...
I let you go,
I let you go.

Hush
"Hush...
And close your eyes,
And i'll be your eyes.
Take my hand,
And i'll hold you close.
Dancing slow to the band,
And It'll be OK."

So you took me back,
Back to your house.
Or naked bodies,
Alone in your house.
A night of passion,
Like never before.
Never going outta Fashion,
The door to my hearts Wide open,
And heres what you said...

"Hush...
And open your heart,
My heart is already open.
Ive never felt,
This Fulfilled before.
Im ready to melt,
Before you."

Is it necessary,
For these words you speak?
Time so blury,
That your words Leak.
So fast,
I cant write them down.
They'll always last,
Forever in my head.
And heres what you said...

"Hush...
And close your lips.
And watch my Lips.
Thank you for your love,
I must go now.
Though i'll never forget your love,
Or how you made me feel.

The Beating of you heart!

Slow down your heart,
Slow down your lungs too.
But dont forget your heart,
As you could do.
And listen to your heart,
And start seein now.
Now tell me how apart,
Your love is now.

Did you see that star die?
Did you see that star be born?
And did you hear that lie?
Of love and porn?
It came from your forest,
But no-one heard it.
So just leave it to rest,
Bit by bit.

Slow down the beat...
of your bruised heart,
But dont slow your lungs down.
Your heart is fractured enough,
So come lay down.
And let me stroke you hair,
While holding you close.
I know this isn't fair,
But we was always going to lose.

Did you see that star die?
Did you see that star be born?
And did you hear that lie?
Of love and porn?
It came from your forest,
But no-one heard it.
So just leave it to rest,
Bit by bit.

Now tell me whats going on?
When you rest your hand on my heart.
Can you feel the beat has gone?
Now that were apart.
And im left with a lock of you hair,
Your dark Long curls.
You left in my draw,
Sendin my heart in Wurls.

Did you see that star die?
Did you see that star be born?
And did you hear that lie?
Of love and porn?
It came from your forest,
But no-one heard it.
So just leave it to rest,
Bit by bit..

Got the blues bad.

Well my heart is crying,
Ever since the day you left.
You can hear it Lying,
Saying its fine.
When really its dying.

Well you've been driving my Blues now
You've been fueling my time of depression.
My heart thanks you now,
for teachin me a valuable lesson

Well everyday im blue,
Walkin around in the rain.
no souls on my shoes,
leaving marks on the strain.
The Strain of the blues!

Well you've been driving my Blues now
You've been fueling my time of depression.
My heart thanks you now,
for teachin me a valuable lesson

On a sunday i go to Church,
I kneel down and pray.
Just me and him in church,
But only he wants to pray.
We both pray for the blues to die.

Well you've been driving my Blues now
You've been fueling my time of depression.
My heart thanks you now,
for teachin me a valuable lesson

Well the sky is weepin,
Since you left Its to got the blues.
My heart to is weepin,
And Thats why we sing the blues

Well you've been driving my Blues now
You've been fueling my time of depression.
My heart thanks you now,
for teachin me a valuable lesson

This is a country song, without a name at the moment


Up in the mountains where the wild horses run
The only friend you have is the sun
But you won't be alone for very long

I'm coming, I'm coming
You wait right there honey
And we'll spend the rest of our lives together

I'm not worried about working a dime in cotton fields,
You'll be there
I'm worried if you can withstand the length of our lives
I hope you can, I hope you can

You'll warm to the idea, girl, I'm sure
And I swear, I ain't no bore
But it still ain't too late to take the lovesick cure

The hils are warming as spring comes 'round
Everybody's a-headin' into town
Sad faces as they drive past the grave mounds

I'm not worried if I'm not earning enough to live,
You'll be there,
I'm worried if you can withstand the length of our lives
I hope you can, I hope you can

What your Ma told you 'bout living in the country
My God, they were all lies
Still, we get the best rainbows in the sky

Come, let's share a whiksey, my Love
You can never get enough of that suff
And that stuff sends your mind insane

I'm not worried about growing old,
You'll be there
I'm worried if you can withstand the length of our lives
I hope you can, I hope you can

Please Lord, don't let my ideas go up in a balloon
Don't spin no curse with your loon
Don't make it "Goodbye, I'll see you soon"


(Deliberatley ill-fitting lines and rhymes )

hello hello!

i'm under the weather
sick of living in blue
and i can't decide whether
to smile at you

it's a cold air cold lungs day
and i'm supporting yellow
and then i see you come my way
and i can't even say hello

hello hello hello another sleepless night
hello hello hello brain and your sleepless plight
hello hello i'm falling from a great height
hello hello and with your help i won't take fright

red beacon shining
it's blinding me i cannot see
can you see me smiling
and all because you looked at me

hello hello hello another sleepless night
hello hello hello brain and your sleepless plight
hello hello i'm falling from a great height
hello hello and with your help i won't take fright

i'm under the weather
sick of living in blue
and i have decided whether
i'm going to smile at you

Than you ever told me to

And now my dreams lie shattered
You're not the man I knew
Suddenly notes seem out of tune
And leave a wave of blue
And as these chords wash over me
My heart begins to ache
And fingers slip from worn out grooves
I fought so hard to make

So now my grip is failing
I cant just sit here waiting
Enough with all the aching
I will miss you...

love this babe and i'm not just saying it coz it's you!
that line about grooves is wkd.
hope you had a great christmas spk soon

am sorry darling, I dont speak soft words.
I only know the harsh words of my soul
they mark you with their corners,
and leave you with my scars.

i must face the mirror, pay the world with time
learn to calm my fever. disregard that mask on mine

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I must learn to let go
just give me a few more hours, and then I'll really know


Je suis le chéri désolé, je ne parle pas de mots doux.
Je sais seulement les mots durs de mon âme
ils vous marquent avec leurs coins,
et vous partir avec mes cicatrices

je dois faire face au miroir, payer le monde avec le temps
apprendre à calmer ma fièvre. l'indifférence qui masque sur le mien
juste me donner un peu plus d'heures, et alors je vraiment saurai

Je suis désolé, je suis désolé, je dois apprendre à laisser va

Here's the lyrics to a song that I wrote several years ago. I've performed it at several gigs.

Waiting For Love

Cold skies
Off in the distance.
This is my future.
Waiting for me ---

My mind
Travlin’ in circles.
No time for dreaming.
Waiting for life ---

Millions
Trapped in a cycle.
My heart is screaming.
Waiting for love ---

Waiting for love (x8)

______________________________
Untitled Love Song

With all the people in love at the centre of space/
Reminds me that love has a time, and loves needs a place/
Why do we spend all of our strength?/
Looking for love/
Why do we search eternity’s length?/
Looking for love/
Why do we risk it all for something we can’t see?/
Knowing how painful these things can be/

I've spent all my stength/
Looking for love/
I've searched all of time/
Looking for love/
And I've found you/
That's all I do/
Is loving you/
One thing is true/
That I love you/
Nothing's changed/
Nothing's new/
I still love you/

a little snippet i just conjured up.


my love, if you please
would you hold your breath for me
cause i dont think ive ever seen
an angels chest, rise and fall
my love, if you please
would you raise your glass with me
cause i dont think ive ever toasted
to the stars, up above
my love, if you please
if i asked shyly
like the way you like
and stuttered once or twice
do you think you'd love me love?
and you and me we'll sit outside
with wind in our hair
and love in our eyes
and we'll talk forever it seems
then the sun, like a cup is spilled
rolling down every rock and hill
and the dawn whispers to me it was a dream
my love, if you please
