The best thing that you’re wearing is your smile

doesn’t matter what kind of day, even when it rains

you still shine, all the time.

Somethin’ deep inside of you... just glows

it doesn’t matter what comes your way, cos every single day

your love grows, yes it grows

ch Well I been tryin’ to be just like you

but being somethin’ special isn’t somethin’ I can do

you bring out the best in me….you do

you bring out the best in me ...Its true.

I know its somethin’ that you cant explain

but that don’t matter to much to me, as long as I can see you

again,.. and again

Well I been tryin’ to be just like you

but being somethin’ special isn’t somethin’ I can do

you bring out the best in me….you do

you bring out the best in me ...Its true.

you bring out the best in me….you do

you bring out the best in me ...Its true.

You’ve still got tears for me

after all these years I would have thought

that all those memories

would have faded now into obscurity

but you’ve still got tears for me

Some things don’t go away

like a mist appearing for a while

at the start of autumn days

like lovers hearts that cut into a tree

you've still got tears for me

Some triggers make us feel

that things that we forgot…for a while…..they were real

I hope the time we spent

helped make us who we are right now

with nothin’ to resent

we can look into each other knowingly

cos you still have tears for me

Some triggers make us feel

that things that we forgot…for a while…..they were real

and I guess you’d like to know if its true

yes, I still have tears for you

I still have tears for you

I still have tears for you

There's a silhouette of an old bent man

with gnarled and twisted blood stained hands

and the years have torn into his flesh

with lies and betrayal from all the rest

and the marks of steel can still be seen

on his callous hardened toadback skin

the grooves contain the sweat the dirt

but the scars that weep are the ones that hurt

Hard workin' man, with a well worn face

with a choice to make...

Its rock or a hard place

wakes up at 6 when the town clock rings

its a hollow sound for what it brings

the glint of steel is in his hands

leaves a mark..like lightning..in the sand

there's a hawk that sits on a splintered post

and he watches through the acrid smoke

the howlin' dogs and the bitter cries

are what he sees when he leaves the skies

Hard workin' man,with a well worn face

with a choice to make...

Its rock or a hard place

How do I exist?

When all I have around me

turns to stone

and try as I might

I always stand alone

how do I fight?

When all my best intentions

turn to sand

as I watch the grains

fall through my hands

Was it easy for you to watch me fall?

from the landslide

did it cross your mind to lift me up?

From the landslide

…I’m left believin’ and waitin’ once again

How do I begin?

When startin allover

again

got my finger on repeat

its the same old game

was it easy for you to watch me fall?

caught between little or nothin at all

on the inside

..so I’m left believin and waitin once again

Can you forgive me?

after all this time

don’t expect special treatment

keep me borderline

how many times do I have to pay

to get to see the light of day

can you let go?...can you put down that stone?

cos the part of me you’re tryin’ to kill….died many years ago

If you cant embrace me?

Just nod your head

any kind of acceptance

will do instead

how many times do I have to say

I’m so sorry that I lost my way

can you let go?...can you put down that stone?

cos the part of me you’re tryin’ to kill….died many years ago

can you resist?...can you just not insist?

your’e making it harder for me...cant we just coexist

can you let go?...can you put down that stone?

cos the part of me you’re tryin’ to kill….died many years ago

Lost and found

Climbing the hills on a cold and sunny day

winds of change blow the cobwebs away

And I need to find myself.. and relate to everythin' else

my heads bin screamin but only I could hear

I thought I was dealin' but nothings ever clear

too much talkin' to myself...Its been harmful to my health

And I cant save you.. I cant even save myself

I wont betray you.. but you need someone else

I'm in the lost and found.. and it almost feels like home

I'm in the lost and found.. but no one knows.. I'm missin'

Too much talkin' to myself

I just need to find myself

And I cant save you.. I cant even save myself

I wont betray you.. but you need someone else

I'm in the lost and found.. and it almost feels like home

I'm in the lost and found.. but no one knows.. I'm missin'

Weary, tired, wet and cold. A loyal servant with no idea what is coming next. "we just keep on movin forward cos theres nothin left to do"

worn out horses

with sinews unveiled

no cry of freedom

just the hope of fairy tales

no more promises

Don't you tell me no more lies

you wont see nothin'

when you look into my eyes

we don't know where were going to

we just keep on movin' forward cos there's nothin' left to do.

we lost our tears in all this rain

for somebody else to pop the cork on a bottle of champagne

Bridled passions

on a barbed wire bed

random voices

like a hammer to my head

we don't know where were going to

we just keep on movin' forward cos there's nothin' left to do.

we lost our tears in all this rain

for somebody else to pop the cork on a bottle of champagne

After the Original idea for this song I followed through with this version.

No Caution to the wind

I'll throw no caution to the wind

co's I know where its been

and I've felt the pain of being brave

so ill be cautious

ill be cautious

so damn cautious

Not every step of faith is

a leap into the light

not every one can take it

sometimes it means goodbye

I'll throw no caution to the wind

co's I know where its been

and I've felt the pain of being brave

so ill be cautious

ill be cautious

so damn cautious

so ill be cautious

ill be cautious

so damn cautious

I'm hopin' when I wake there'll be something I can keep....

....That belongs to the two of us.
