Fast Train

The morning sun has lost its warmth
There’s a coolness in the air
Shadows lengthen in the street
On branches that are bare

A frost lies gentle on the grass
The smell of burning leaves
Each night hangs heavier in our bones
As we rise
To brush our teeth

The train pulls in at half past eight
We file into the aisles
Hanging from the rails and straps
We’re rocked from side to side

The backs of houses pass us by
A hundred stories to unfold
As the wheels thunder on the tracks
And we try to keep control 

Now smile
Because the world it needs to laugh
Stay  awhile
Your stations just gone past
This train’s too fast

A woman’s crying next to me
Tears drop into her coffee cup
Strangers crowd and try to help
And all our eyes are welling up

Her shoulders shake with every sob
We all stand and watch in awe
As things fall apart
In carriage number four

Now smile
Because the world it needs to laugh
Stay  awhile
Your stations just gone past
This train’s too fast

Fast Train - featuring SuZanne Ledwith

Starry Skies

Waiting for Summer

Welcome to the circus. . Well...this is very different from what I use to play. 
I got the idea to borrow parts of the lyrics from The Beatles song Piggies ( George Harrison)
A oblique glance on greedy people
nothing serious about this, just for fun.
But...I`m using my own composition for the occasion
You could call it a sarcastic song but with a sense of humour 


Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse,
Always having dirt to play around in

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts to play around in

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon
One more time

Piggies

This one is from my dear friend Ken Karasek.
Great guy with a great personality.

At The End Of The Blue Sky

Atardecer

I know I shouldn’t fool myself
But I’m waiting for a miracle to come 

So cold in this frozen land	
And if I’ll be without you, I might fall 

I’m calling up to heaven above 
Hello, where are you my friend? 

I’m sending out a message of love  
But I know, I have lost the best I had 
The best I ever had 

Somehow you slipped out of my hand
But I will hold them tight, our memories of gold 

You’re close, yet so far away 
But my world cant be the same, not as before 

I’m calling from the edge of the world
Hello, where are you my friend?  
        
I’m calling from the top of my lungs  
But I know, I have lost the best I had
The best I ever had 

I know I’ve tried to fool myself 
But I’m still waiting for a miracle to come

Best I Had

If Not For You
Written by Michael Duffy

If Not For You - lyrics

Every time you leave town
I feel so down
I'm in the danger zone
Anytime Im left alone

I don't trust myself
Cant you see
Your not the problem
I known thats its me

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

Your my anchor
Keep my feet on the ground
My shoulder to lean on
When i'm feeling down

Through the highs and the lows
Together we stand
You by my side
I've got nothing to hide

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

In my shadows of doubt
When i'm feeling low
You be my shelter
The place where I go

Your the stars in my night
The moon in my sea
The purpose of
Who I'm meant to be

Nothing
Nothing
I say nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

うつりゆく　願望 
やりすごす　平穏

つかんでは消える 
ふっと消える

ほどけない　混沌 
つかのまの　空想

吹かれては揺れる 
ふっと揺れる

こころない 
まやかしに 
向きあっている 
笑顔の記憶

なんの破片か 
判らないから 
こんな夜も 踏みつけて 歩く

やるせない 
偽りに 
向きあっている 
笑顔の記憶

なんの破片か 
判らないから 
こんな夜だって　踏みつけて 歩く

なんの破片か 
判らないから 
何の 痛みも おぼえない
