With nothing left to say
I must walk away
But every step I take
It cuts like a knife
I’ll never hear my name
On your lips again
I’m not forever in your heart

And tho i tried so hard to keep you close to me
I couldn’t make you stay
You just wouldn’t fall
So I must start again in the morning rain
But I’ll keep you safe in my heart

You were the one
Who made me feel
Like every dream I’d ever had
Was surely coming true
But every day
You backed away
Till my arms just couldn’t reach you

But I recall a time
With your hand in mine
And your eyes like wine
Went straight to my head
Trembling close to you
My shirt covered you
As I clung to you
In an unmade bed

But now the city lights
And the carefree nights
They have taken you
And made you their own
And I must watch you dance
To another’s tune
But I’ll keep you safe in my heart

You were the one
Who made me feel
Like every dream I’d ever had
Was surely coming true
But every day
You backed away
Till my arms just couldn’t reach you


With nothing left to say
I must walk away
But every step I take
It cuts like a knife
I’ll never hear my name
On your lips again
I’m not forever in your heart

And on that day of days
When I am asked to say
What was the role you played
And what was her part
I’ll close my eyes and know
I didn’t let you go
I always kept you
Safe in my heart.
My love I’ve kept you
Safe in my heart
There’s a small boy sitting all alone somewhere
Staring into space
He can’t understand what you’re doing to his world
But he wants you to go away

There’s a young girl lying in a field somewhere
In her eyes a look of dismay
She’s got a child and another one due
But their daddy died today

Look around yourself
See what you have done

Take a little time out
Open your eyes for me
There ain’t much left of your little world
But it doesn’t have to be
We can change, we can change
Let me show you how
Let a little love into your little world
But for **** sake do it now!

There’s a young man dying in road somewhere
For a cause he don’t believe
His wife and child cry blameless tears
But who’s gonna see him bleed.


Look around yourself
See what you have done

Take a little time out
Open your eyes for me
There ain’t much left of your little world
But it doesn’t have to be
We can change, we can change
Let me show you how
Let a little love into your little world
But for **** sake do it now!

There’s an old man sitting at a desk somewhere
In his hands the fate of the world
He can’t even bend to tie his shoes
But millions obey his word


Look around yourself
See what you’ve become

Take a little time out
Open your eyes for me
There ain’t much left of your little world
But it doesn’t have to be
We can change, we can change
Let me show you how
Let a little love into your little world
But for **** sake do it now!
Let a little love into your little world
But for **** sake do it now!
Let a little love into your little world
But for your sake
Do it now!
Me
I’ve dipped my toes in every stream
I’ve run thru every river
And swum in every sea
I’ve finally come to realise
The only one who’s gut my back
The only one who’ll look out for me.
The one I can rely upon.
Has always been,
Has only ever been.
Me.
Lonely nights with just your picture
Broken words that can’t be heard
Down we fall into a day dream

Can you really feel my heartbeat
The drum of Liberty
Run with me thru your back streets
This revolution sets us free

Lonely heartbeats will not falter
Shed  no tears for us
Love will last tho cannons thunder
Raise the banner
Start the fight
The revolution of love

The barricades will rise before us
We’ll just fly above
And all the doubters fade away


Can you really feel my heartbeat
The drum of Liberty
Run with me thru your back streets
This revolution sets us free

Lonely heartbeats will not falter
Shed  no tears for us
Live will last tho cannons thunder
Raise the banner
Start the fight
The revolution of love
Love and desire walk hand in hand.
They cannot be parted, one from the other.
My love for you, has no starting point.
It will have no end.
My desire for you, runs thru my soul like a seam. To remove it would break me.
All the things you are, make my love and desire into something that is more than I am.
It’s more than a moment in time. It is at once time itself and timeless. There will never be a second when I don’t love you with an unparalleled desire, and desire you with the most tender love.
Let me be frank from the outset
I know nothing about roses
Furthermore I despise gardening
But
If we start from the premise that to pre suppose only s gardener could grow a rose
Then by the same token
Only a musician could make music
A fact overthrown by a child’s laugh
And if only a bath maker could run a bath
Then only you could put a smile on the mouth of a river
And Leonard’s is the only voice
Amid the noiseless bustle
And too many coffees and too little sleep
The night of song that still goes on
Abd faces and voices that slammed into my soul
On the steps of the ‘cur
Dancing eyes that made an ancient heart jitterbug in that club, above a bordello

At 7 we finally called it a day
But sleepless and beating, awake we lay
Not mine forever, but for now
And now is good enough and always on time somehow
‘You’ll be back’ she said
‘Besides, there’s songs to finish, and some to start.
And that thing to do, that I promised you’

I smiled
Knew the truth
Love would bring, it’s guillotine
Ain’t no cure for that
And Leonard’s is the only voice.
