Follow the Line

[lyrics]:

At the end of the day
When it's all said and done
And there's no turning back
All those moments are gone

At the end of the day
When you get off the cloud
You're alone with yourself
But the noise is still loud

At the end of the day
Taking shelter from the rain
Does it feel any better
Does it help ease the pain

So now you're singing yourself to sleep
In your mind
Bury your sorrows deep
And rewind
Crying yourself to sleep, silently
Remember to breath
Take a little time off
Tomorrow is soon
Tomorrow is soon enoug

-----------
When it's all said and done
So you came a long way
Was the rush worth the while
At the end of the day
When it's all said and done
Before reality fades
See your story unfold
By the choices you made

Was it so far to walk
Well you made it home again
At the end of the day
Seeking shelter from the rain

Singing yourself to sleep [...]

Can't Stay

[lyrics]:
One day she came into my life
We were lovers at first sight
I came on strong on party night
I was running loose, running wild
She saw right through me and smiled

She had a heart of gold and eyes of green
Drove a vintage limousine
I never knew where she came from
She gave me sweet love and then some
Prettiest sight you've ever seen

(she said) Let's take a chance against the flow
There's always somewhere else to go
When you're riding high, flying blind
We're gonna make it there or bust
Go down trying if we must
Ain't no mountain we can't climb

We're shining brighter than the stars
In and out of all-night bars
Let's paint the town, we're gonna rock the scene
I can still see them turn their heads
I believed them when they said
I was king, and you my queen

Ain't no mountain we can't climb
Ain't no mountain we can't climb



Now is the time, this is the place
This is our own moment of grace
We were lovers in the rye
Beneath the everchanging skies
I didn't see the days go by

And ever since she walked away
She's on my mind most every day
Sometimes I miss that girl so bad
We never really did fall out
One day I went down to the South
That tune still playing in my head

We're shining brighter than the stars
In and out of all-night bars
Let's paint the town, we're gonna rock the scene
I can still see them turn their heads
I believed them when they said
I was king, and you my queen

Now is the time, this is the place
We stood staring into space
That magic feeling, flying blind
I can still see them turn their heads
I believed it when you said
Ain't no mountain we can't climb

Ain't no mountain we can't climb
Ain't no mountain we can't climb (…)

No Mountain We Can't Climb

I was a street musician for a couple of years, longer ago than I care to specify ;) As a busker, playing hide-and-seek with the Law was part of the game. And when you got busted…

Game For Dimes

a naive love song

[lyrics]:
Every time I see you walk my way 
I miss a beat and I stumble 
I stammer and fumble 
for something to say 
I'm a-tell you no lie 
I'm shaking all over and I don't know why 

One of those things that you don't explain
like the sunshine breaking
through the summer rain sometimes

And the colours are bright and clear
and every little thing feels just right
until the rainbow disappears
but then again it's just a trick of the light

_______
When the rainbow disappears
leaving only shades of blue
when you leave me standing here
I can't seem to get over you

When the colours fade away
I feel like I'm fading too
when the colours turn to grey
I can't seem to get over you
_______

Every time I see you walk away
I have to swallow my pride, 
I just push it aside
and call it a day
before I break down
and lose all control and lose a little more ground

It's a feeling that's hard and hollow
someone in me still wants to follow you down
where the whole world is smiling bright
even if it's just a trick of the light

_______
When the rainbow disappears
leaves you high and dry and blue
When you leave me standing here
I can't seem to get over you

When the colours fade away (…)

Rainbow

by projectGhostRadio - 

Look on the bright side /
Someone reads the letters that you send / 
Honin' your profile / 
You want that plastic eye to be your friend / 

Look on the bright side / 
Every little thing you say is being heard / 
Feeding the file / 
Recording every bit of every word / 

In your very home / 
Ain't it good to know you're not alone / 


When you waste an hour / 
Flippin' through the channels on TV / 
Singin' in the shower / 
Then a beer or else a cup of tea / 

Do they know, can they tell / 
Can they hear, can they smell / 


There's a crumb for every step of every trail / 
You've been notified your life is up for sale / 

But look on the bright side / 
Now you know you'll never be alone / 


Cruisin' on the highway / 
Your wheels know just where you want to go / 
Ridin' in the subway / 
With the other extras on the show / 

Do they know, can they tell / 
What you think, how you smell / 


There's a tag for every name and every face / 
Until every little soldier is in place / 

There's a crumb for every step of every trail / 
You've been notified your life is up for sale / 

But look on the bright side / 
Now you know you'll never be alone

[lyrics]:

This daily life is a full-time thing
a heavy load for your skinny wings
no-one ever calls your bluff
you're way off course and it's getting real rough

Every day there's so much to do
all those routines you have to follow through
_______
Hold your horses now slow down
take a real good look around


Can you see the big picture now
can you make out the lines

Take a step back and see the world
the way you did as a child

Somewhere behind the smokescreens
a greater game is in play

When you see the big picture
you could be blown away
_______

When your days are all the same
all your dreams out of the frame
you say your life is slowing down
when in fact it's the other way around

All the while you're busy clutching at straws
till you believe this is the only way it goes
_______
Hold your fire don't look down
take that leap don't turn around

Can you see the big picture now…
