i don't know what to say, so manylovely lovely words, making lovely poems and songs too im sure. this is one of my songs, i hate that i can only put music to really simple lines, but hopefully as i go along ill be able to use my poems for songs one day


this is called holding on.... i think.. i haven't decided yet





i always wondered if you knew, how much i cried over you, and the way you left it made me cry, we never really said goodbye,


i hold on to the one that's gone away, though in my heart with me you stay..


too fast you were gone, memories last if you hold on, but they fade every day, i guess there really is no way,


to hold on to one that's gone away, though in my heart with me, you stay...


time passes so fast, years slip into the past, but i have promised to remember, i swear i do every september,


i hold on to the one that's gone away, though in my heart with me you stay, cause i'm still holding on to the one that's gone away, though further from me you slip each day, but i could never wish you away, cause i'm still holding out to see you some day....

well here is another one..lol...I have about 50 songs in total....just find it easy to write songs......


Its called Talk with me


Cant stop yourself falling to the ground


If you close your eyes, youll find the worlds still turning around


Your chance come along, Reach out and take it while you can..


You missed again now get ya head back in the sand


Thats the way you appear to be


In your mind you see things diffently


Turn off the light and say what you see


Get out of your head,Comeout of your head


andcome and talkwith me


Talkwith me.......


Time waits for no-one, now go and take it by the hand


Turn up your thoughts, but try and listen while ya can


Go chat with the past, what did it have to say?


Thinks your gonna make it, now theres nothin in your way


Your a queen, and thats meant to be


Now in your mind you see things clearly


Turn On the lights is that what you see?


Come down from your head


Come out of head and come and talk with me...


Come on talk with me


Come and talk with me... yeah yeah etc etc......[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

this ones a bit soppy but thats me all over.a sensitive soul!
Love is like a sapling<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
More fragile than it looks
It needs support to keep
It growing strong and true
Could I ever get this?
Could I ever know the joy of real love?
Life is like a path,
Winding, with weeds pushing up through
Fighting to break up the bond
I need someone by my side
Could it be you?
I dread that in my final years
I shall be a lonely tree
Growing twisted and gnarled
That no one wants to look at or touch
In your eyes do I see the same love reflected?
Or is it just a dream?
Will my hopes ever blossom into realities?
Like the bloom on the trees?

i can hear the wind blow,right outside my window,i hear your voice in the breeze,sounding so painful like you were walkingin the rainfall,i hear your footsteps through the leaves.so why cant i see you ,maybe then i could free you,from all the pain you feel inside,walking through the darkness i call but all i do is stumble and fall,i feel so helpless while you cry,.moon madness as i watch you fade into the night,moon madness as i watch my love fade out of sight.

Sam, thats really good, "you wrapped me up in wonder and on your wings we flew" i love lines like that.


Ive got to post the lyrics to the song that my boyfriend wrote for me as my christmas present. It's not very long but i love it. Its called "Let Me Say"


How can i be there when you need me?
How can i sit there when you ignore me?
The secrecy of uncertainty
Is pulling smiles from your face
And i know what you're thinking when you close your eyes
Now can you see that I am mending?
Now with your words I stop pretending
The secrecy of uncertainty
Is pulling smiles from your face
And i know what you're thinking when you close your eyes


Then theres this gorgeous guitar solo that makes me go all dreamy and silly. Its a beautiful song. As soon as i work out how to upload it, i'll post a link.


I'm so soppy [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

hey guys... i wrote a song a while back called never mine.. i play it in the band and they aren't my best lyrics but could yiz please give me yer take on them...


All the problems brought forward
I can see the light
All these drawning toward
Finding something right
I can see ya smiling now
I know we're on to something good
I know it's in what we could
Not in what we should


Everything that you have got
Is never mine, never mine
No everything that you have got
Is never mine, never mine


I walk out the door
Then I stumble up the street
We've been here before
Is there somewhere else that we can meet
Your eyes are dark
They're almost scaring me
You've left your mark
Told me how it has to be...


Everything that you have got
Is never mine, never mine
No everything that you have got
Is never mine, never mine

And there isn’t a pair of angel wings
That couldn’t carry you home
If only I could reach them
Not good enough to reach them
But for these things I’ll strive
For you I would roam
And someday I will reach them
I’ll be good enough to reach them


Any comments?

shut the damn door, reach for the volume control, jack it up so high everything else is BLOCKED OUT, no more thinking, just the words pounding in my head, driving deeper, the floor is vibrating, but all that matters is me and the music, the rhythm is like painkiller, running through my system, numbing my thoughts, injecting me with placebo.


what u think eskimos?

Thats the way back down to earth, Not a boy or not a girl, Give a clue where are you from, just a child some fathers son.


See ma face its just a shade now, thats the man you seem to have made yeah, feel the rain fall on my bed , push these thoughts out of ma head now.


Thats the way back down to earth, Not a boy or not a girl, Give a clue where are you from, just a child some fathers son.


see the sunits burning my worlds on fire now come and burn with me, stop the world from turning I wanna get off so come and set me free, My stars are falling but Im not seeing where they hit the ground, my life is callin its screamin loud but I dont hear no sound..


Ohhhhh Ohhhh Im just a boy.(rpt x3)


Its been sometime since we last spoke, look Im the one you hurt and borke, Im just the boy I used to be, Give back the man you took form me..Edited by: Dade503

I havent posted any lyrics in a while but I started writing this last night - its called Higher Education


she was a beauty queen, a long time ago,


her future planned out she was ready to go


bags were packed with her boy by her side


london was calling as she waved me goodbye


and she sang...


saw her the other day and her future is now


wish I could have told herjust didnt know how


boymet a dancer with inside a year


left her with nothing but memories andtears


she sings


look at my hands,


look at my face,


look at my plans, disintergrated now


look at my heart,


check out these scars


fragments of stars in pieces on the ground


those stars were mine





I havent finished it yet but I like the tuneandany comments would as always be appreciated

I can almost hear someone singing it whilst reading it--it's lovely! I'm looking forword to hearing/seeing it when it's finished.. and for some weird reason i kinda read it to the tune of the JohnDenver song that starts with' I'm leaving, on a jet plane.. don't know when I'll be back again!![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

mad ! I watched a film about john denver the other night and had I'm leaving on a jet plane in my head all day at work


but unfortunately the tune is nothing like that[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


here is one I havent posted - for you Lauren


Hereyes light up when she sees me at my show


I no its wrong but I've touched her and I want her so


bad it hurts my head as the lights they dim


standing down there I wish I was him


bridge


and would you give me tomorrow, if I asked you to


would you kiss me tomorrow, if I told you that I loved you


chorus


Oh my god, I fell in love with you all over again


when i saw you last night


and the timing is wrong because between us theres ten


and I never seem to get it right


2


a boyish face but theres cracks around my my eyes


pain of a prisonerimprisoned bymy own lies


i'm younger than my face suggests


26 now would you have guessed


so would you give me tomorrow


if I asked you to


would you kiss me tomorrow


If i told you that I love you


oh my god I fell in love with you all over again


when I saw you last night


timing is wrong thought you could have loved me but then


I never seem to get it right


and all I want is an ever after


dreams still haunted by your laughter


and this is all I wrote
