In Those Midnight Hours

Starin at the stars so blue
I find myself thinking bout you
Failed promises and dreams apart
I think we had it good at the start

I saw a girl with light eyes
And she saw the light in mine
We spent some time talking 
Of the death and birth of stars
In those midnight hours (3)

Listenin to the rain outside
Reminds me of the madness you'd hide
You tried so hard to act real sane
Then gave up cause I was as insane

Riding on my motorbike
We were drenched in the rain that night
You said you never felt more alive
So we rode on beyond far..
In those midnight hours (3)

Watchin the new moon grow old
I remember the stories you told
You would talk for hours and hours
As we sat beside the pier beneath blue stars

The moon had a wife who stole his tears
With those tears she made these seas
And in these seas she drowned his fears 
Now the tides cede to his powers
In those midnight hours (3)

In Those Midnight Hours

Stop. Breathe. Smile.

The both sides
Of the same story
Share blame and glory 
In the end 
Look inside
You will discover
We cant blame each other 
Everytime we fail
Though easy that way

Ch
Hey now, Listen to me
Listen close, You might just agree
Inside your heart and mine
We both know what's right
We just fight to feel alive
For a while
So lets Stop. Breathe and Smile.

There'll be no end
To the bicker and banter
The thoughtless slander 
Unless we try
The odds offend
But the future's not written
We may break even
Its a chance to take
For all our sake

Nobody wins
And nobody loses
But everyone bruises
In their soul
Tomorrow brings
Hope of new promise
A fortune of goodness
For you to share
In a world without care

Bridge
You reached for the door
And turned around once more
You asked me if that was all I had to say
Should you leave or should you stay

Sunday Afternoon

Its a lazy sunday afternoon
The summer sun comes a smiling through
I strum along a song just for you
But your laughin.. cause i sing out of tune

Na na na...


The sand is white the coast is clear
A twist of lime and a shot of cold beer
Hit waters and drown in good cheer
In these moments.. my world lives right here

Na na na...

And words can't describe what Im feeling now
No thoughts no memories no worry no doubt
And I wonder what your doin up there in the shape of a cloud

Yesterday blurred away too soon
Tomorrow brings a list of things to do
We live in a world where 2 and 2 makes 2
Its true.. Im happier here with you..

Na na na...

If i could wish a wish come true
I would wish all my wishes be true
But the wish machine would choke on its fumes 
So I wish for.. more Sunday's with you

Na na na...

Sunday Afternoon

A Prayer

Hope, won't you come rescue me
I've been enslaved now I long to be free
From honest chains that bind
These sullen thoughts to a lonesome mind
Before, you whisk me away
Take a moment and offer silent prayer
For all your kin who passed
Defending dreams that stood no chance

Ch
And life won't you find 
A way to be something more
Than a frugal exercise
To strive with all your might
For the wonder that you offer
For the joy of being alive

Love, won't you stand by my side
Its been too long i've had a friend to confide
The crippled cries of a child
And wanton desires of a man born shy
Hold, me close before you leave
I know there are those who need you more than me
But before you go
Show me twice what I've been living for

And fear, you've been a loyal friend
I bid you farewell, I'll call you now and then
You've taught well how to survive - You said -
Never stand up, always run and hide
But now, I tread a different path
Fate has carved our destinies apart
With heavy heart, I wave goodbye
Wish me luck, now run along and hide

A Prayer

Stranded on the Edge

Stranded on the edge
Hopin to fall
Across the ledge
Destiny calls
I've watched you grow
Been there all along
Come a little closer now
Dont be afraid
Dont look down

You're about to fall
Into the light
Unfold your wings
And kiss the sky
You're about to fall
Heart and soul
You're about to fall
In love with this life

Stranded on the edge
Thoughts cross my mind
It alleged
The futility of tryin
You've done so well
You followed my advice
What if you fall and die
Who will stand by
Who will cry

I want to fall
Into the light
Unfold my wings
And kiss the sky
I want to fall
Heart and soul
I want to fall
In love with this life

Stranded on the edge
Confused and alone
Beyond this nest
Lies the great unknown
My heart beats strong
The anthem of desire
So I let go and fly.. high high
Open my eyes
I realise...

I begin to fall
Into the light
Unfold my wings
And kiss the sky
I begin to fall
Heart and soul
I begin to fall
In love with this life

Stranded on the Edge (BMSC Assignment 2)

*Sorry for sounding squeaky on my vocals - i've sung it in the key it came to me. It loses its feel when i sing it lower*

Beautiful People

[verse1]
The rains falls its cold outside
The warmth leaves my soul
The fighting dies with its final cry
And darkness swallows me whole
But  at midnight Dawn breaks
Shining love, Shining hope
Cause the sun's held high above
By beautiful people

[verse2]
Brief lines in my letter box
The voice across the phone
A casual wave in the parking lot
And silly debates that just go on
Your my family your my friend
Towers of love, Beacons of hope
But above all you are all
Beautiful people

[Bridge]
Shining through gloom and sorrow
You pick me up when I fall
You give me love (2)


[verse3]
Those joys that life denies
Or tragedies bestowed
Haunted ruins from a bitter time
And feelings that implode
Oh The anguish of it all
I believe, I will endure
Just as long as I've the love of
You beautiful people
