My waking hours fill the dreams that my nightmares
could only wish for ....

Into these old eyes comes new light
From a new day
Let the birds do their work
Let my mouth kiss you
Bid me my well
My love

So out I step into the way
Biting bitter cold does its best
To take your warmth away
From my lips
Yet it cannot hide my love
For your gaze
My love

The path is long and broken but one day
I shall return with gold
And a ring for your finger
Place the candle well
Warm your side  
My love

The years past into layers of grey
A way home almost lost to the overgrown
Are you there my love
No light be seen my love
My love .........my love...my love  
My LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know this place where its cold
Where the cobwebs of your mind fill
On emptiness
This is my place
That bit of our lives that no-one enters
Nor dares too

I like my corner
It feeds me when I'm weak
Brings anger to my softness
And sometimes melts my tepid soul
Into a fiery pit
Of rage

My corner also has a weakness
A look from a strangers glare
Can send me further and further into
My shivering recess
Shy and quiet I will lay
Waiting for the roar
Shhhh ....

Along with ones darkness comes
This lowering  
Eyes shielded
Only the pavement's view
Be my my foe,my friend
Oh do I pity these enemies
For one day my dark
Will be ablaze
The corner shred into light
That one day will come
Thy will be done

One look into the box and there you see
My world in pieces
A jigsaw written
This picture painted  
All at one in days of old
Now broken
Left for the forgotten

Go pick a piece
See that smile
It's been a while
When the sky was blue and the grass came green
But that was then and this is now

The box is flattened from its lonely place on the top shelf
Corners bent,twisted yet still performing
Even after all these years
Layers of dust hide the beautiful picture that
Once had pride
Once had a place
Once had a purpose
Faded is the view
Scratched is the paint but inside the beauty is still there

Put me together again
Glue the pain away
Make me smile
Make me shine
Don't hide me inside just bring this jigsaw alive
Wake me from the slumber
Go colour my soul
Fit me back together again
Make me the whole

Blood shot eyes stare back at me blindly
Is that really me now looking so old
Lines upon lines
Do you hear me laughing

Peppered hair that did shone brown
All faded away to the shades of grey
Fifty ??
Not here been a while me thinks

Well the years were good
Think I lost a few way's
Memories aging
The sweet shop fade

So I look in the mirror
It looks at me
All dreams gone and faded
My own believe

I'm stuck in the future
The stone is cast
A ripple is out there
This fade my last

Deep breaths as you dawn this
For you will see
Your life is your own live
Just look at me

Tears fell onto the glass outside
So here I lay
Curled so tightly
Crying out
Cursing the rain as it drowned out my
Screams

My soul was flooded
Yet empty
Voices that once echoed so sweetly
Now fell silent
And the knot in my belly
Continues

The daylight is coming
But here
Inside me
The darkness wins the war
