loving the guitars - & of course the slide!

Someday

I'll lift the map off the wall
Roll it up and take it home
Perhaps it'll show the way
Someday

Distant lights that glitter
Like stars across the sea
Won't shine as bright or shimmer
Someday

You hold on to all that's yours
And then watch it slip away
Try to fill the empty hours
Someday

Someday we will breathe no more
All our lifes will be as dust
Silent waves on forgotten shores
Someday

Someday no one will know us
Neither to forget or recall
Forever and always
It will be thus

Smoke among tall green trees
Crouched beneath a fading sun
All that man has cut will heal
Someday
That old rocking horse you gave me
Faded paint and crooked grin
Will find a way to save me
Someday

Let the light shine somewhere
Chase the shadows far away
Chains of love will bind us there
Someday

Someday we will breathe no more
All our life will be as dust
Silent waves on forgotten shores
Someday

Someday no one will know us
Neither to forget or recall
Forever and always
It will be thus

The world is full of fools who lie
And walk the streets of glory
The laws of truth shall apply
Someday

Those who lust for days of fame
And fill their hands with money
Will be pulled down and washed away
Someday

Someday no one will know us
Neither to forget or recall
Forever and always it will be thus
Someday Someday

Someday we will breathe no more
All our life will be as dust
Silent waves on forgotten shores
Someday

Breathe

Tokyo

The sky is breaking from the
Heat of the sun
That's burning the mist off the sea
Another day with you has begun
Pour your warmth over me

Sunshine woman
You are my sunshine woman
No clouds with my sunshine woman
No rain with my sunshine woman

The way that you walk  
Is like liquid sunlight
Through leaves on a summer day
Dancing across 
This old wooden floor
A beautiful ballet

Under magnolia trees
We walk hand in hand
It's one ten in the shade
Old dog's so hot
He doesn't care if it's
Fahrenheit or centigrade

There's a darkness grows
In the hearts of men
Who knows what keeps it there
You have the way
To fill me with light
A breath of sweet summer air

When winter lies deep
Hard on the dawn
Like steel inside your head
Remember the times
Our hair was bleached gold
And our days were chromium red

Sunshine Woman

So disappointed
I wanted so much more
So disjointed
As I sink down to the floor
I’m reeling, I thought you were the one
But I see now, what's over hadn't ever begun

Such confusion
You said you'd be there till the end
But you used me and now you want to be my friend
I’m reeling - I don’t understand you
But I see now, you’re not the person
I thought I knew

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Just an illusion
So strong that I believed
Feeling bruised now
Maligned and deceived
I'm reeling, I thought you’d set me free
But I see now, you made a promise you could never keep

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Time to realise
I’ve been telling myself lies
I still want you
But moving on’s the only thing to do

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Feel The Heat

Then I See You There Again Re Mix by Shadowfax6

V1
Let me take you to another space
In another time
In another place
Let me see your beautiful face
As you smile at me
There's no time to waste

Let me take you to another land
We can stand together hand in hand
We can take our time, we can take it slow
As we dance together to the funky band

Ch
In the groove zone
It always feels like home
In the groove zone
You're never alone

V2
Sometimes I'm flying in outer space
Sometimes my head's all over the place
Cast off your worries and let yourself go
If you don't then you'll never know

Let me see you dancing on the beach
Everything is sometimes out of reach
Get in the groove and don't let go
Cos tomorrow you'll never know

Lyrics

Chocolate River (MoLoJo)

Floating down, chocolate river
In a matchbox made of wood
Sweet smelling chamber
No melancholy mood

Crushed velvet (brooch) shoes
Left neatly on the shore
Squashed in painted toes
Now free once more

Remember where you went when it rained
Always with friends, though you sat on your own
Remember how the birds always sang
Remember you can always come home

Oh… such a beautiful day
‘N’ the river always flows
Secrets deep held
The chocolate never goes

Fresh white shirt trails
I’m drifting slowly on 
Pale blue scarf dancing
Enchanting river song

Remember where you went when it rained
Always with friends, though you sat on your own
Remember how the birds always sang
Remember you can always come home

What if time stops?
Need a moment just to breathe
Tasting new sounds
Safe in liquorice reeds

Chocolate bubble pops
Been in this boat before
Coming up to the reasons
Find no peace on the shore

CHORUS – remember where you went when it rained…

Chocolate River, by MoLoJo

She was born in London town in 1965
When everything was swinging and the music came alive
So plug her in and start to play 
Eight days a week to pay her way

She’s good to play, good to play

Music changes as fashions do, what once was hip’s no longer cool
Bought and sold, stored and forgotten, but it was dry so nothing rotten
“So dust me down and take me off the shelf 
Take a picture, say I’m in good health”
 
Up for auction - on ebay

It started slowly, I kept my nerve, and she got what she deserved
Then a 9 hours drive to Lincoln there and back 
And the sat nav got me cross
I kept on getting lost

Got her home and start to play, she sounded sweet, A OK
But the hum -- wouldn’t go away
The man said “pretty good for her age”
He fixed her up and I paid

So she’s a little rough but still good to play 
Still good to play

She was born in London town in 1965
When everything was swinging and the music came alive
So plug her in and start to play 
Eight days a week to pay her way

Yes she’s a little rough but still good to play 
Still good to play
