It was so many years ago
When you left to find your dreams
There was so much I didn’t know
Oh how long ago that now seems

Well this island wasn’t big enough
To contain the fire inside of you
And though the ocean, well, she can be rough
You needed her to be to get you through

Across the waves for a better life
Across the raging sea
Across the waves in the bitter night
Across the waves without me

I’m so proud of the things you’ve done
And the light that you shared
All you wished you have become
I only wish I could be there

Across the waves for a better life
Across the raging sea
Across the waves in the bitter night
Across the waves without me

Across the waves without me

Across the Waves - Featuring Steph Something

Tell Me by Nicholas R Fuller 

Whatever you want should match what you do, 

Looking for answer, looking for a clue 

Take some light, take some grey 

Take purple shade, with shadows to lay 

Try and take a true path to find what you pursue 

Chorus 

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do, 

Tell me what you’re looking for and maybe we’ll pull through 

Let your path cross others, & see who you’ll meet 

Walk a path together if its the same things that you seek 

Take some dark, take some blue 

Maybe pink for a different hue,  

All roads need to end and to reach a peak. 

Chorus 

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do, 

Tell me what you’re looking for maybe will pull through 

Tell me what you dream about, Tell me your fears 

Tell me what makes you happy and what will end in tears 

 

Take it for granted, take it as it is 

Take it as payment take it as what’s due. 

 

Let your paths diverge if the join is weak 

Or their ideas start to change and begin to reek 

 

Take some poison, Take a cure 

Take a placebo, Just to make sure 

But you’ll have to keep on walking I'll say nothing more

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
