Not gone

I looked in her eyes and I lived
She looked back at me and I knew
That you have not left me or gone anywhere
For in those soft eyes I found you

If I told you

If I told you that I loved you
Would you take me by the hand
Would you look me in the eye and say the same
Or would your face turn deathly pale
Would that soft smile fade from view
Would I stand and wish to God I never came
If I told you I adore you
That you're always on my mind
That the thought of being with you brings a smile
Would you think that I was being cute
And smile the way you do
Or would it make you want to run a mile
If I told you that I want you
Would you say you want me too
Would you hold me close and whisper in my ear
Or would you march me out the door
With the words 'do not come back'
Those are words that I never want to hear
If I told you that I love you
Would you say you love me too
Would you hold my face and press your lips to mine
If I told you that I want you
And you said you feel the same
That would be the sweetest moment of all time

Get off your arse

If you have no money and you have no job
If you have no way to survive
Just sit down right here, roll that last smoke
And wait for good will to arrive
Don't waste time looking for something worthwhile
That will pay you a regular wage
Just sit on your arse and hold out your hands
Find some more suckers today
Why the fuck should you work like everyone else
You don't have time for that shit
You're too busy sitting here begging for help
So you can run off and buiy your next hit
I've lived on the streets and slept in the parks
Lived life day by day on a prayer
But I always managed to pay my own way
There was always employment somewhere
I know what it's like to be homeless my friend
To be hungry and tired in the rain
But there's always a way to better yourself
You fall down and you get up again
But if all that you want is handouts and pot
Then I guess there's not much I can do
I see people in real need, kids without food
Pity them but I won't pity you
So if you have no money and you have no job
I suggest that you get off your arse
Stop living off everyone elses good will
For I guarantee that will not last

Somewhere else

I have to go out
It's nothing personal
Its just that the strings attached to my heart
Seem to end somewhere else for tonight

Odin

A child is born into our world
Odin is his name
His future shaped by what we do
Lets make him glad he came
Teach him all the things he needs
To help him on his way
Show him how to make tomorrow
Ever better than today

Faith

There was always this hope smewhere deep inside
That my life would get better somehow
A fantasy grown from a world somewhere else
That has no place in my here and now
There was always this knowing that somewhere out there
Was a sign and I'd find it some day
To a road that would lead me somehow back to you
And that fueled me each step of the way
There was never a time when I felt alone
You were always somewhere in my mind
That knowing that one day I'd wake in your arms
But now it's that faith I can't find
I find myself here at the end of a road
Behind me is all that I knew
Before me is darkness stretched out all around
Somewhere in that darkness is you
I stare out ahead with fear in my heart
My feet will not move from this place
I can't look behind me I know what I'll see
When all that I need is your face
I wish there were some way to turn on the light
To show me where others have gone
But there isn't so now I must face all my fears
For I stand in this place all alone
Please God if you're there then show me your hand
Please help me to take one more step
I'm afraid of this darkness that faces me now
And I pray that you will not forget

And I cry

I can't let you go
God knows I've tried
Day after day hour after hour
I've called out your name
And I've cried
They try so hard to understand
This pain I'm going through
They tell me time
Will heal the wound
That I'll get over you
They say that I must turn a leaf
But I don't want to leave
My life is stalled
My heart is still
I don't know how to grieve
Please help me lord don't leave me here
Don't turn and walk away
I just don't know
If I can take
Another lonely day
You were to me the air I breathe
The beating of my heart
You've gone somewhere
I cannot be
It's tearing me apart
I know that you are watching
Whispering my name
Each night I'm calling out to you
I know you do the same
Please save me from this emptiness
Find your way to me
Reach out from where ere you are
Touch my soul
Set me free
I just can't let go
God know's I try
I feel you standing next to me
I close my eyes
And I cry

Obsessed

Ok it's official and I just can't deny it
This feeling that's raging inside
Every time that I see you my heart just explodes
And my pleasure has nowhere to hide
It drives me insane
When your standing so close
That my arms want to gather you in
The scent of you coils
Like a snake round my soul
And my mind disappears into sin
I drown in your eyes I get lost in your smile
I die when your hand touches mine
I want to be with you wherever you are
It's a feeling so close to sublime
Every night you are there
Just as I go to sleep
Your my last thought as I drift away
In the morning I wake
And your there in my mind
Where you'll be for the rest of my day
No doubt some would say
My love is not real
Just obsession and maybe that's true
But I don't really care
I know how I feel
Obsession or love it's still you
So please don't comdemn me
Or turn me away
I just want the joy of your smile
To know that your happy
To know you are there
To be held in your eyes for a while
And so it's official and I can't deny
This fire that burns deep down inside
You are the most wonderful thing in my life
It's a feeling I simply can't hide

Each breath whispers your name

Nobody will remember
All those good times that we shared
Our names will pass to history
As if nobody cared
Just you and I know what we had
No other person can
But I remember everything
From the moment we began
This world this life is nothing more
Than seconds lost in time
The future cannot understand
I am yours and you are mine
Though death has torn us far apart
These memories remain
In my dreams I search for you
Each breath whispers your name
Romeo and Juliet
A soldier and a queen
These stories are remembered
As our love rests unseen
If there is another life
When this one fades away
Then you and I will meet again
And I hunger for that day

Angels by her side

Always in the background
Angels by her side
No matter what they threw at her
She never ran to hide
She would always be the one
Who came to save the day
The one who always took the time
To travel all that way
Her home was always open
Her heart was just the same
But she always came in second
When people played their games
I knew her when she was a kid
And even way back there
Her heart reached out to those around
She cried because she cared
When life got hard for others
And they reached out for someone
Every time they called her name
They knew that she would come
Now that she's no longer here
To save them when they fall
How the hell will they survive
When hard times come to call
Her soul still swims in tears of love
From all the times she cried
Always in the background
With angels by her side
