OCEANS
We’re too far off the mark, just too far too see
when things just don't work out
they say it wasn't meant to be
but everything a lesson, and no one is immune
sometimes we get it wrong it doesn’t matter as long as we learn


I was too far off the mark, just too blind to see
Why did i ever think, doesn’t matter what you thought of me
We’re worlds apart & oceans away
why did i ever think, it doesn’t matter what you say


There was darkness in your soul when i met you
i never saw you smile
i wandered what was eating at you,  to make you run a mile
you transformed yourself, your beauty ran so deep
the light that you shone would blind all…… to it


I was too far off the mark, just too blind to see
Why did i ever think, doesn’t matter what you thought of me
We’re worlds apart & oceans away
why did i ever think, it doesn’t matter what you say


i’m always so far off the mark
blind when i should see, i will give it my all
put my heart on my sleeve
I’m wishing you were nearer… not so far away
and then you could see, I've been blinded by your ways….

Album:   The Eyes of the Overworld

	This song takes it's inspiration from Cugel, self styled “the Clever”, the protagonist in two of Jack Vance's “Dying Earth” novels.    He a small time rogue, thief, con-man, fence and general all purpose survivor in a world that demands quick wits, fast feet and utterly no conscience.   Not a nice person.
	People like Cugel have existed in our own world throughout history, still exist in our own time, and very likely will continue to exist for the entire future of humankind.   If you have never encountered such a person, it is possibly because you have led a sheltered life.


Lyrics:
	ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies
	the name of my game is midnight supply
	it fell off a truck, just dropped in my lap
	there really weren’t much I could do about that

	midnight supply,  midnight supply
	ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies
	no lies		midnight supply

	I don’t carry much stock ‘cause I like to move fast
	those who move slow don’t often last
	tell me what item you have in mind
	come back next week, see what you can find

	I don’t give no credit, I don’t take no cards
	won’t honour a lay-by if it ain’t in the yard
	when I get hassled I’m gone in a flash
	just pick up your bargain and hand me the cash

	call me a sinner or call me a saint
	I won’t make no refunds, nor take no complaints
	ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies
	the name of my game is midnight supply

Lyrics:

Is there meaning to a word? I’ve been searching for so long
Yeah you’re not alone in this war, yeah you’re not alone anymore...

It’s days like these we need to breathe
It’s plain to see we’re all in need
We’re coming we’re coming home (So there we are, so there we are)
We’re coming we’re coming home (So there we are, so there we are)

Say I asked you to come along? Would you falter my every word? 
 Or would you carry on like Nothings wrong? Would we carry on like we’re invincible?

It’s days like these we need to breathe
It’s plain to see we’re all in need
We’re coming we’re coming home (So there we are, so there we are)
We’re coming we’re coming home (So there we are, so there we are)

We’ll be free, warm again
We’ll be one again

It’s days like these we need to breathe
It’s plain to see we’re all in need
We’re coming we’re coming home (So there we are, so there we are)
We’re coming we’re coming home (So there we are, so there we are) 

We’re coming we’re coming home
We’re coming we’re coming home

I MADE UP THIS SONG, EVERYTHING COME'S FROM YOU
NOW THAT YOUR GONE, THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

I MESSED UP OUR LOVE, MESSED UP MY WORLD WITH YOU
IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING NEW
THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

(BREAK)

I LOOK BACK ON LIFE, I HAD NO CONTROL OF YOU
NOW FEELING ALIVE AND NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN
I WOULD NOT SURLY BE CALLING YOU MY FRIEND,  NO

THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

Voices rise from the sea, unalone on the steep 
Walk through ruins to the uncontained abyss
Lay across the starry fields and knowingness
Surrender to the hidden evergreen, as we return as trees 

Wear the colour of the night, haul the ashes to the mire
To the edge of the kingdom we will stand
Lament not ascensions to the light 

Take this flesh and turn it into wood 
Cast these limbs unto the hallowed earth 
And wood to stone, so I can return, as trees

Silver light, shimmer through watch for dawn 
In these woods of twilight hymns 
A silent void.....

Huge thanks to Syggefigurrer  https://soundcloud.com/skyggefigurrer

A massive thanks to my beautiful Soundcloud friends for your support and kindness. I treasure all of your comments and am eternally grateful to you. May the next year bring you all that your heart desires.

'THE SUN IN ME'
Written, Performed & Produced
by Andrew Borderick  Copyright 2017/2020
Mastered by Andrew Borderick 24/08/2020

MAY THE SUN SHINE ON YOU, FOREVER
AND THE LIFE THAT WE KNEW,  TOGETHER
IT'S JUST TAKEN IT'S TOLL
MAY'BE WE'LL FALL IN LOVE, AGAIN

NOW THE TIME IT HAS PASSED,  SO SLOWLY
I'M LOST FOR WORDS AND IN LIFE,  SO SADLY
IT'S JUST MAKING THE CALL
FORGETTING THE PAST IN LIFE, AND LIVE

I MIGHT BE THE SUN IN YOU
AND YOU ARE THE SEA IN ME
I NEVER DID LET YOU KNOW
YOU'RE ALWAYS THE SUN IN ME

IT'S JUST A THOUGHT IT PASS'S BYE,  IT'S OVER
AND THE TIMES LEFT BEHIND,  FOREVER
IT'S JUST TAKEN IT'S TOLL
MAY'BE WE'LL FALL IN LOVE, AGAIN

I MIGHT BE THE SUN IN YOU
AND YOU ARE THE SEA IN ME
I NEVER DID LET YOU KNOW
YOU'RE ALWAYS THE SUN IN ME
(BREAK)
I MIGHT BE THE SUN IN YOU
AND YOU ARE THE SEA IN ME
I NEVER DID LET YOU KNOW
YOU'RE ALWAYS THE SUN IN ME
I NEVER DID LET YOU KNOW
YOU'RE ALWAYS THE SUN IN ME
(BREAK 2)

THE SUN IS ROUND, THE SKY IS BLUE,
A NEED FOR LOVE, IS WHAT WE DO,
THERE'S NO TIME TO FALL INTO THE SAND,

HOW SWEET IS LIFE, THE WAR HAS DIED,
TO HEAR THAT SOUND, IT MAKE'S ME CRY,
THEN I FOUND MYSELF IN ANOTHER LAND,
(chorus)
THERE'S NO BRIGHT SKY MORNING'S,
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY,
(middle)
THERE'S TIME'S WHEN WE SHOULD LIVE
AND ACT OUR PART,
THERE'S TIME'S WHEN WE SHOULD GIVE
AND FIND OUR HEART,
AND LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD,
(break)
(chorus)
THERE'S NO BRIGHT SKY MORNING'S,
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY,
THERE'S NO FINGER POINTING,
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY,

WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY

At the advanced age of 4½ I was introduced to a girl of about the same age with whom I had an immediate rapport.   We spent an entire afternoon in childhood play.   I do not remember the girl's name, or even her face, but I have never forgotten the time we spent together.   The memory is at once beautiful, as such memories are, and, at the same time, sad, for that moment is gone and can never be repeated.   In “The Gardens of Abora” I try to express this feeling, under the belief that most humans possess similar bittersweet and half-forgotten memories of experiences long past.

	The metaphorical background to the song is inspired by S.T. Coleridge's remarkable unfinished poem “Kubla Khan”, first published more than 200 years ago.    The name “Abora” comes from the same poem, as do several of the images and lines in the lyrics.

	My very good friend, RJ (Bob) Balderstone, once told me that this song alone justified my entire life as a lyricist.   It is to Bob, now tragically deceased, that I dedicate “The Gardens of Abora”.

Album:	In Search of Intelligent Life

Lyrics:
	in the gardens of Abora at the edge of the realm of dreams
	in the gardens of Abora  nothing is ever less than it seems
	you dance close and slow, fly high and far
	free of all cares, unbound by the beat of time’s heart
             in the gardens of Abora

	the seasons revolve, time heals all pain
	a face from the past is all that remains
	yet sometimes a song possesses your mind
	there’s a beat, and a voice, but you cannot recapture the time
	O   the gardens of Abora		O   the gardens of Abora
  
	in the gardens of Abora at the edge of the realm of dreams
	in the gardens of Abora  all exists that ever could be
	if you see the dazzling light of the sun on the ice
	then know you have tasted the sweet milk of paradise
        O   the gardens of Abora		O   the gardens of Abora
