Lost for words….

Dont speak….

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I’m losing my best friend
I can’t believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you’re letting go
And if it’s real
Well I don’t want to know

Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me cause it hurts
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me cause it hurts

It’s all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are…
You and me I can see us dying…are we?

Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me cause it hurts
Don’t tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you’re saying
So please stop explaining

Don’t speak,
don’t speak,
don’t speak,
oh I know what you’re thinking
And I don’t need your reasons
I know you’re good,
I know you’re good,
I know you’re real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don’t, Don’t, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin’
Hush, hush darlin’ Hush, hush
don’t tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin’ Hush, hush darlin’
Hush, hush don’t tell me tell me cause it hurts

Carrickfergus

I wished I was in Carrickfergus，
Only for nights in Ballygrand，
I would swim over the deepest ocean，
The deepest ocean to be by your side.
But the sea is wide and I can’t swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly.
If I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die.
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy time spend so long ago.
My boyhood friends and my own relations.
Have all passed on like the melting snow.
I’ll spend my days in endless roving，
Soft is the grass and my bed is free.
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus，
On the long road down to the salty sea.
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone as black as ink，
With gold and silver I did support her
But I’ll sing no more now till I get a drink.
For I’m drunk today and I’m rarely sober，
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered
so come on ye young men and lay me down.

 

Its time…..

Here at home
The thoughts racing
through my crazy mind
Trying to figure out
If I’m loving you this one more time
And when I got the mail
It made me close the door
just right behind
On a trail of clothes
Left lying here
Thrown across the floor now
Maybe it’s the way this love
was meant to be
and maybe it’s the only way
for you and me…

It’s time, to say goodbye
It’s time, oh please don’t cry girl
It’s time, two reasons why
It’s time, I will never lie to you

You cast your spell
But the magic has been broken down
And I’m all packed up
With empty bottles lying all around
It’s like a flickering flame
That casts a shadow on
the brightest day
And it does it help to know
That I feel the same
And it’s gone now

Maybe it’s the way this love
was meant to be
and maybe it’s the only way
for you and me…

 

It’s time, to say goodbye
It’s time, oh please don’t cry girl
It’s time, two reasons why
It’s time, I will never lie to you

Both sides now…..

Rolls and flows of angel hair,

Ice cream castles in the air,
Feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun.
They rain, they snow on everyone.
So many things I would've done
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real.
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show.
Leave 'em laughin' when you go.
But if you care, don't let em' know
Don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
Say "I love you" right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads and say I've changed.
But something's lost when somethings gained
Living everyday.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

Time after time…..

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion–
is nothing new
Flashback–warm nights–
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after–

sometimes you picture me–
I’m walking too far ahead
you’re calling to me, I can’t hear
what you’ve said–
Then you say–go slow–
I fall behind–
the second hand unwinds

if you’re lost you can look–and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you–I’ll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows–you’re wondering
if I’m OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time–

if you’re lost…

you said go slow–
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds–

if you’re lost…
…time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

Share a dream with me…..

Hey when you’re feeling low
When the blues refuse to let you go
Just reach out for my hand
I can understand
Come share a dream with me

Hey love will found a way
It doesn’t matter what the people say
Don’t try to hide the way you really feel
Time can only heal
Come share a dream with me

We could rise above all the tears
All the doubts and the fears
We can make a stand here and now
Higher love
Got to learn to trust in a friend
For a peace without end
Oh come share a dream with me

Hey children of the world
Is the dream we’re dreaming so absurd
Sweet reason’s just a friendly smile away
‘Cos love is here to stay
Come share a dream with me

We could rise above all the tears
All the doubts and the fears
We can make a stand here and now
Higher love
Got to learn to trust in a friend
For a peace without end
Oh come share a dream with me

We could build castle so tall
Oh the thrill of it all
Won’t you find a place in your heart

We could rise above all the tears
All the doubts and the fears
We can make a stand here and now
Higher love
Got to learn to trust in a friend
For a peace without end
Oh come share a dream with me
