Is This You
Do you find yourself caring by default, even when it would be easier not to? Do you notice that when people talk about success, they often mean numbers — money, reach, efficiency — but something…

(Verse 1)
I held you close, my precious child,
Through every tear, through every mile.
Your laughter echoes in my heart,
“Aria for a Friend”
(Opening)
Oh, friend so dear, whose light has shone,
A beacon bright, though you are gone.
“The Tempest Within”
[Opening Verse] (Soft, brooding)
Oh, anger, thy name, a fire untamed,
A shadow cast, a soul inflamed.
[Opening Verse] (Soft, mournful)
Oh, sorrow, thy name, a quiet song,
A shadow deep, where I belong.
Thy veil, it falls like autumn rain,
[Opening Verse] (Soft, radiant)
Oh, joy, thy name, a golden light,
A boundless glow, a heart’s delight.
Thy wings, they lift, they carry high,
“When I See Her”
(Verse 1 – Soft, emotional)
I can’t think… when I see her… there with you,
My mind’s gone… when I see her… it’s all I can do.
Blossom leans over hedgerows white,
Daffodils flare in yellow light,
Bluebells ring in woodland air,
Primroses whisper, winter’s not there.
Music lives everywhere.
It lives in choirs and concert halls, in small rooms and quiet moments,
in the trained, the gifted, the bold —
and also in the shy, the uncertain, the weak at heart.
[Verse]
Whispering shadows in the moonlight
Echoes of you still haunt the night
Your empty words like broken glass
[Verse]
Stars are shining blue and green
Spaceships hum like old machines
Galaxies where we've been
[Verse]
Walking down this crowded street
Eyes meet hearts skip two beats
In a whirlwind of desire
[Verse]
In the heart of Swindon town
Where dreams decide to drown
Neon signs that steal your soul
[Verse]
You were the spark in the dark night
Lighting up moments that felt so right
Not a single thing could slow us down
[Verse]
Embers of our yesterdays
Whispers of those golden days
Fading like a twilight hue
[Verse]
Fifteen and wild, that’s our Maggie,
Pretty as a peach, never too saggy,
High boots clickin’ on the old dirt road,
[Verse]
Mum packs my lunch at break of dawn,
Those same old sandwiches, the same old song.
Cheese and pickle, day after day,
Angie Baby sixty five today
Yes another thank god we pray
Let’s have many more you sweet thing
But first enjoy today
The Bus Driver’s Anthem
Verse 1
On the bus I will merrily drive,
In August, when my license is live.
Verse 1
Broken glass on the highway of my life,
Reflections of the man I used to be.
Behind the wheel of pain, I chased the night,
(Verse 1)
Down the winding countryside lane,
A gleam of chrome in the gentle rain.
Two-tone beauty, green and cream,
Verse 1
A car so sleek, green cream and long,
Pushes me to write this Zephyr song.
Two thousand, five hundred CC's of power,
Though your leash lies empty,
Your spirit runs free.
You’ll always walk with me, Lady—
You’ll always walk with me.
Don't Start – Song Description "Can you hear the trumpets? Can you see the skies filled with wrath?" This is the angriest song I've written, and I've never tried to dress that up as something…
(Verse 1)
A little Ballad for Nick and Fran
Few thoughts when driving
In your car
Title: "No Glory, Just You"
(Verse 1)
Trapped in the dust, where the bombs never cease,
No glory, no honor, just a longing for peace.
If – Rudyard Kipling to Music – Song Description "If you can dream, and not make dreams your master." These are Kipling's own words, not mine, and I've never once claimed otherwise or tried to…
(Verse 1)
In the quiet, I hear my name,
A sailor beneath the flame.
No sky above, no ground below—
[Verse 1]
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
Sarah Is My Name,
Not Janet, Sue Or Elaine.
I Told You Once, I’ll Tell You Again,
Sarah Is My Name.
Beneath the arms of a chestnut tree
In the rec where you were quite new to me
I saw at once a heart of gold
An innocence that would surely unfold
Happy Birthday William John
Another year has finally gone
It went very quick
Like a thrown stick
Verse 1
A fire rages deep inside, unseen by wandering eyes,
Its warmth could melt the coldest night, but no one stops to try.
I reach for hands that never come, shadows pass me by,
Verse 1
Everyone that lives deserves a chance,
A moment to shine, to take a stand.
Opportunities, they come and go,
Verse 1
God, lift me from the intolerable burden
Of my ignorance, arrogance, and blindness.
Bitterness and resentment, let them fall,
Verse 1
The fear of death, it lingers near,
A shadow cast by life lived in fear.
But when you breathe with open eyes,
[Verse]
Piles of papers yesterday's news
Lots of words journalists choose
Mostly lies or wild exaggeration
