You

People tell me I’m lucky
Through the envy in their eyes
As they’re stunned by the beauty
That’s walking by my side
I don’t know if you notice them
To be honest I don’t think you do
‘Cause I got all your attention
To call me lucky, well, ain’t that the truth
Hey you, you’re the one that gets me laughing
Yeah you, you’re the one that makes me cry
You know it’s you, you’re the one that drives me crazy
You’re the one that makes me feel alive
Do you remember when we first started talking?
You were freaked out by my smile
You said you’d never seen it before
And I said, that’s because I hadn’t wore it for a while
But thanks to you, you’re the one that gets me laughing
Yeah you, you’re the one that makes me cry
It’s down to you, you’re the one that drives me crazy
You’re the one that makes me feel alive

She Loves

She loves autumn leaves, how they fall from the trees
Dandelion seeds, how they blow on the breeze
She loves ponds, lakes, rivers and streams
Cold winter mist blowing in from the sea
She loves sparrows and robins when they visit the garden
Tulips and lilies, white roses and lavender
The fragrance and beauty go straight to the heart of her
That’s why I love her but best of all
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves butterflies and bumble bees, cute floppy eared bunnies
Long Sunday walks under a canopy of trees
She loves the smiles on the faces of the people that she meets
And that’s why I love her but best of all
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She love peaceful music, the sounds of the ocean
Details in nature provoke her emotions like
Dewdrops on a blade of grass, clouds in the sky
Framed by a rainbow, but best of all
She loves my hand in her hand, cuddles in my arms
Wearing my jumpers, the beat of my heart
She has to beat me at everything, now don’t get me started, ha
That’s why I love her but best of all
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah

Dawn is rising, there’s a mist in the distance
Dispersing slowly
I thought I caught a glimpse of you dancing
Behind a fallen tree
Was that you that was smiling at me?
You looked just like you did in those early years
From photos you showed me as I sat on your knee
All the pain that came later had gone
And you looked to be happy with what you’d become
A free spirit mobile again
Free from that bed, free from the chains
You’ll never again be cut off from the world
You’re free to watch over me whenever you want
Free to point me I the right direction
Free to calm me down when I blow
Ma there’s something I want you to know
I can feel you walk beside of me where ever I go
So go play out all those dreams
That you had inside your head
When you were trapped in that bed for so many years
Play out all those scenarios
You imagined, looking out of your window
You’re trapped no more
You’re free to do whatever you want
Now you get to watch my life in real time
I hope you’re proud
I hope you find in heart
The comfort to know whatever happens Ma I’m gonna be fine
Now you know my life’s on track
And I’m sure you’ll know
When it’s time to come back and check upon me again
But for now, it’s time to break the habit Ma and think of yourself
So go play out all those dreams
That you had inside your head
When you were trapped in that bed for so many years
Play out all those scenarios
You imagined, looking out of your window
You’re trapped no more
You’re free to go wherever you want

Silence
03:48
|

Silence is my enemy
Distraction my best friend
Solitude can get to me
In ways I can’t explain
It beats me up like a school yard bully
Taking my last change
Does that make me deranged?
Quiet moments taunt me like
A baby at the side of a grave
When I think of what could have been
If I had the chances again
I’ve got so many ghosts and they just love
To rattle those chains
Does that make me insane?
I hold on to the noise
I can’t hear it for the noise
The stillness is disturbing
The crashing of the waves
It brings a threat of me becoming drift wood
And washing up in the caves
I wave my arms like a frantic baboon
And swim towards the haze
Does that not make me brave?
I hold on to the noise
I can’t hear it for the noise
I hold on to the noise
I can’t hear it for the noise
I hold on to the noise
I can’t hear it for the noise
I hold on to the noise
I can’t hear it for the noise
