You know its only you
© 2012, Andrew Pearce

It seemed like a game
I wanted my way
The closer I came
You’re further away
I wish we’d stayed
And laid
Our differences there

Whenever I asked
You gave me your best
Our ship was in sail
Now wrecked like the rest
Pity has gone
And on,
This night, my love
You don’t need to ask

You know its only you
You know that you’re the one
The one I’m still thinking of
These people passing through
This melancholy town

Now when you’re alone
You might dream of me
A pilgrim to spires 
That I could not see 
Didn’t we try?
And I
Return again?

You know its only you
You know that you’re the one
The one I’m still thinking of
These people passing through
This melancholy town
I can’t live without you

You know its only you
You know that you’re the one
The one I’m still thinking of
These people passing through
This melancholy town

I Don't Look Back © Andrew Pearce, 2010
.
A guilt taps my shoulder  
but I don't look back
these old gods need a sacrifice
but I won't look back
'cos time is a killer
and time makes you lose
I walk away from this heart attack 
and I don't look back

Don't say her name 
'cos that word's a tear
we had very little time
now I'm staying clear
And I slide down the wall 
in my dirty back flat 
I don't want to be alone
but I can't look back

Ooh,
Ooh,
I cannot be, over the sea without her

Back at the church
there was a candle to light
But our fate is so black
I can't seem to write
'Cos each day without her
Is another without sun
now the mark is on my head
but I don't look back

'Cos she should have been my woman
And I should have been her man

Ooh,
Ooh.
I cannot be, over the sea without her

We'll Never Know
© 2012; Edith Lobo, Francine Mitchell, Andrew Pearce

Oh there you go
Stirring up love again
Packing a punch
Parting the seas
Moving with a smile
And I can’t find a way 
To keep me from you

You always win, don’t you?
When I begin to want you
You let the first act begin
Then you exit the stage
I never win do I?
I’m just your girl on stand-by
You snap the strings of the kite
Then you just let me go
So that we’ll never know

I think we’re done
Pretending love’s around
Stop in the street
Drop in a heartbeat
Staring at the signs
But I can’t find a way 
to keep you from me

You always win, don’t you?
When I begin to want you
You let the first act begin
Then you exit the stage
I never win do I?
I’m just your girl on stand-by
You snap the strings of the kite
Then you just let me go
So that we’ll never know
Oh, we’ll never ever know

You always win, don’t you?
When I begin to want you
You let the first act begin
Then you exit the stage
I never win do I?
I’m just your girl on stand-by
You snap the strings of the kite
Then you just let me go
So that we’ll never know
Oh, we’ll never ever know

Zephirine Rose by Andy Pearce, © 2012

There's a beautiful Zephirine rose, 
Growing so sweetly on my back lawn
Its all tangled up with the dog rose
But there's always a flower over the thorn

Just like my rose you seemed to find hard times
You hold on and on, though it hurts 
I know you clamber on up, weary steps inside
There's always a smile, enough to hide

Your secrets and failings
Your let-downs and hurts
Your world it seems is caught between
  a dream and hope

But what drives you most is the joy you inspire
You make this world a better place 
  for yours and mine

I pick up a white feather from my sofa pillow
You said they were angels coming down from heaven
And I said you were nuts; and you laughed and said to me
"Look up at the sky, see how they float down in the breeze"

Like secrets and failings, 
Those let-downs and hurts
The world it seems is caught between 
  a dream and a hope

But what you care about are the ones you love
I know you'd say: "don't be blue, 
I'll be around and I need you to
know what's important"
Well my love one thing's true
You're always beautiful
like my Zephirine rose

You don’t need to ask

This melancholy town

Now when you’re alone
You might dream of me
A pilgrim to spires 
That I could not see 
Did we grow old?
Still hold these words, my love

You know it's only you
You know that you’re the one
The one I’m still thinking of
These people passing through
This melancholy town
I can’t live without you

You know it's only you
You know that you’re the one
The one I’m still thinking of
These people passing through
This melancholy town
