Pick it up, start again
You know everything will be ok.
Well you don’t know for sure,
But you’re willing to give it a try.
When all the things that you thought were
Set have fallen through.
Look at you now. You are nearly there.
Around about, but getting somewhere.
Get up and go now, it’s not that far.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Pack you bag, get a movin’
There’s people and places to be.
Bigger things on horizons
So close you can almost see.
Look at you now, you’re not worse for wear.
A little shaky, but getting somewhere.
Get up and go now, it’s not that far.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Look at you now. You are nearly there.
Around about, but getting somewhere.
Get up and go now, it’s not that far.
Wherever you go, there you are.
There you are.
There you are.
There you are.

Pieces of the Story

Pieces of the story behind today’s haze
Slowly creeping through me, leave a smile on their way.
And the three of us don’t need to talk about it.
No more questions asked and wonders left behind.
Just hold my hand and we’ll be
The best versions of ourselves we can be.
Just hold my hand and we’ll climb
To the top of this hill after bedtime.
You have something special that you don’t think people see
And every now and then you share a piece of it with me.
And the three of us don’t need to dance around it,
We’ve done enough of that to last a lifetime.
Just hold my hand and we’ll be
The best versions of ourselves we can be.
Just hold my hand and we’ll climb
To the top of this hill after bedtime.
It’s nights like these that we become more than pieces.
It’s nights like these we come undone enough to release us.
Just hold my hand and we’ll be
The best versions of ourselves we can be.
Just hold my hand and we’ll climb
To the top of this hill after bedtime.

What is it you want to say?
Better said than left to stay awake on
And play over and over.
How is it that your happiness
Pays little respect for our friendship?
Prices paid and people weighed up
For you love.
But it’s too late
For you love to be your freedom.
One day it was just you and me.
Next thing I knew it was three
And the wheels were falling off
Too late to slow it down.
Why is it that my happiness
Plays bitter requests for your friendship.
A balancing act
Not even I can hold.
But it’s too late
For you love to be your freedom.
You won’t be there
And I don’t mind, anymore
You won’t be there
And I don’t mind, anymore
But it’s too late
For you love to be your freedom.
It happens everyday to someone.
People go and people come undone
And as they unravel
They get knitted up to something new
And for a precious few
They’re better than before.

One step at a time

One step at a time
Is all you need to climb.
In this crazy, spiral world,
You’re just a little girl.
Darkness fades to gold whenever you are near,
Your worth untold.
More beautiful than I can put into words,
And yet you fill up a thousand pages, pages on my heart.
Flitter your way to me
And land where you can.
Teach me to gently tread,
To find the place where this all began.
Melt your armour down, give it to the night.
Peace can be found.
More beautiful than I can put into words,
And yet you fill up a thousand pages, pages on my heart.
Fill up on promises.
Fill up on … a new day.

Girl seeks boy for serious relationship.
SDNS (social drinker, non smoker)
Must be funny, handy in the kitchen
And have a penchant for the banjo.
Ability to hold my hand … bag at music events
An advantage.
WVTM (with view to marriage)
Cos I’m searching for my horse and carriage.
Look how happy we could be if only we were found.
Boy seeks girl for serious relationship.
SDNS (social drinker, non smoker)
Must laugh at jokes, regardless of quality
Be handy in the garden and serenade me.
An interest in Excel spreadsheets
and flexibility an advantage, an advantage.
WVTM (with view to marriage)
Cos I’m searching for my horse and carriage.
Look how happy we could be if only we were found.
Are we all looking for the same thing?
Are we all looking for the same thing in one another
Are we all looking for the same thing?
Are we all looking for the same thing?
Girl seeks boy/ Boy seeks girl for serious relationship.
SDNS (social drinker, non smoker)
Must be funny
Regardless of quality
Be handy in the kitchen
And serenade me.
WVTM (with view to marriage)
Cos I’m think I found my horse and carriage.
Look how happy we are now that we are found.
