Time to move on…
Build Me A Fire
Build me a fire and conjure with smoke
Dance in the firelight and cast your spell
Draw an illusion to cover the truth
Your secret will always be mine.
Face up to anger and fight for integrity
The price is reality, the truth won by strife,
The rest, a deception, to cover and hide,
To deceive and mislead, the future will die.
Ride in the night sky and capture the moon,
I am not ready, the dawn comes too soon,
The owl to the oak tree, the fox to its lair,
A misty horizon in the fresh morning air.
And all I can see now is smoke in the air,
Eyes red and weeping, the smell in my hair,
The embers are dying, the magick has gone,
A circle of stones, and ash on the ground.
Mist on the river and cobwebs of dew,
I watch my reflection, and see only you.
Throw a flower on the water and make a wish,
The river will carry, my promise.
When two people are separated - by death?
I’ll Meet You at the Edges of My Mind
I’ll meet you at the edges of my mind,
At daybreak, where light and shade merge.
I’ll meet you where the two paths converge,
A crazy road, leading down to the sea.
I’ll meet you where the two rivers join,
Together as one they flow.
I’ll meet you where the rain clouds form,
We’ll ride them home, to no-man’s land.
Flying, circling round,
Lost and found,
Spiralling down.
I know you will find the sign,
Pointing in time,
Says this is my home.
I’ll meet you in the twilight hour,
Between worlds, where the sun goes down,
Touch my finger tips and make a wish,
Hold your breath, choose your destiny.
I’ll meet you at the centre of the storm,
At the still point, where time winds down.
Hold me in your heart ‘til the storm breaks,
Then let me go, live another day.
Flying, circling round,
Lost and found,
Spiralling down.
I know you will find the sign,
Pointing in time,
Says this is my home.
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me,
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me ‘til the dawn breaks, then let me go,
Then let me go, then let me go,
Then let me go.
For my daughter, Ellie
Hey Girl
Hey girl, don’t you know?
Don’t you know where you want to go?
Hey girl, don’t you care?
Don’t you care, who you want to be?
Life is a game,
Lost and won,
Played on the run
At lightning speed.
Slow down and wait,
‘Til time stands still,
What is your will?
Your desire?
Tides flood in,
They ebb and flow,
High and low,
And out again.
Wander the shore,
Blown by the wind,
Freedom gained,
And lost again.
Sometimes ice,
Sometimes fire,
Sometimes colder
Than you desire.
Circle the sun,
Dance in the rain,
Night and day,
Over again.
The inner child
The Child in the Garden
Well here’s a surprise,
Can’t think what you want with me,
Look into my face,
See the things you want to see,
Look into my eyes –
Walk into my heart,
The darkest clouds pull me apart,
Truth and honesty,
And isolating poverty,
Read between the lines –.
You’ll find a small child,
You’ll find a small child,
You’ll find a small child,
Standing in the rain.
Staring face to face
Dare you to try to stare me out
I will watch your lips
Truth and lies mixed all around
Now has come the day –
Believe what you see?
Interpret what you know of me.
Think I’m crazy?
What do you make of me?
Now you walk away.
You’ll leave a small child,
You’ll leave a small child,
You’ll leave a small child,
You’ll leave her sitting in the rain.
But the sunflowers turn,
To worship the morning,
The rose unfurls,
One soft petal uncurling,
Interpret my dreams,
At the start of the day,
Chase my fears,
And the night ghosts away,
And the child in the garden plays –
The very first game.
Well, its no surprise,
I know what you think of me,
You look into my face,
You see the things you want to see.
You look into my eyes –
Tear down the disguise –
You’ll see a small child,
You’ll see a small child,
You’ll see a small child,
You’ll see her playing in the rain.
