Water's Edge - Live at BBC Radio Kent, 15 January 2017

Lyrics -


Fighting back memories
To stand with you on your undefended territory
Looking for brighter days
A deep longing for your sweeter words and kinder ways
Holding down all my needs
To see you in a better place eventually 

	I didn’t show up with intentions of saving the day
	Fighting the demos that threaten to stand in love’s way
	Fearing you’ll find all that’s left of your lover’s a friend
	But it is what it is, and I’d gladly go back there again 

You fall in love, you never know
If it’s freshly-turned soil or a field of stones
You take their hand, give your heart
Try to hold it all together while they fall apart
You take the hit, take the blame
And when it comes around you take it all again

	I didn’t show up with intentions of saving the day
	Fighting the demos that threaten to stand in love’s way
	Fearing you’ll find all that’s left of your lover’s a friend
	But it is what it is, and I’d gladly go back there again 

It’s you my love, the only one
I could imagine would inspire me to get this strong
And nothing’s changed, nothing’s lost
In my heart I’m keeping everything the way it was
Be by your side, forever more 
For glimpses of the person that you were before

	I didn’t show up with intentions of saving the day
	Fighting the demos that threaten to stand in love’s way
	Fearing you’ll find all that’s left of your lover’s a friend
	But it is what it is, and I’d gladly go back there again 
	It is what it is, and I’d gladly go back there again

Lyrics: 

You’re green grass, you’re fresh air
I tried to take you somewhere
We started out as best of friends
I turned back to find it
Regrettably small-minded
You’re not brave enough or smart enough 
To see me as I am 
And I was wounded at your hands

	And I was still moving when you were standing still
	You’ve already reached your resting place
	And the fine line between love and hate
	Is the blueprint for my heart’s mistake
	That I would jump to love’s conclusion

You’re stubborn, you’re lazy
Got no more use for changing
And I’ve been dragging myself down
I’m purely dissuaded, you’re prematurely jaded
Wear your lack of understanding
Like the great pretender’s crown
You’re my unsuspecting clown
	
And I was still moving when you were standing still
	You’ve already reached your resting place
	And the fine line between love and hate
	Is the blueprint for my heart’s mistake
	That I would jump to love’s conclusion

If I’m wrong, and you’re right
Then what’s wrong in your eyes
If I’m blessed, and you’re worse off
For having me around then
I’ll go, all the same
It’s not me who’s to blame
And I could write a book about
The things that you have yet to learn about love
About love
It doesn’t work without love

	And I was still moving when you were standing still
	You’ve already reached your resting place
	And the fine line between love and hate
	Is the blueprint for my heart’s mistake
	That I would jump to love’s conclusion

Doesn't Take Much (Radio Edit)

Fire On The Mountain Instrumental Rough Draft

My flatmate, Turkish poet Cenap Galagan (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq0uI9j463Nh_uoZZZbwLrw) asked if I'd write some background for his next poem. He was talking about a fairy-tale feel of freedom within boundaries (like a child dancing freely within the perimeter of her father's gaze) with a monster in the middle, so this is what I came up with. Nameless as yet until he titles the poem.
Something a bit different but I was happy with it.
