I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Composed in October 2023.

Whenever I send a song to Clive I expect something great. I have already lost faith in giving him a title that he would always modify to give it a better meaning.

After sending me the cover art, and seeing what motivated him to write the lyrics, I can imagine it on his bicycle, returning home after a hard day at work.

And, certainly, be it in England, Spain, or wherever... there is no better place than your home.

lyrics:-

Home
Where the heart is
Home
Where my mind can roam
The precious time i spend alone

When the working day is over
That's my favorite time , I'm going home
I like to be there on my own
I used to be a kind of rover
Being loud , those days are over
Home
I like to be here on my own

Your words
Your words are empty and picturesque
I battle through your compliments
To understand your chess
I understand the things that you would say to me in jest
Are merely just a mirror of how you are feeling inside your chest

I try to think that you don't mean a thing 
That you don't really think of the words that you speak
I try so hard but it all seems for not
I try to pick up the past I forgot
I try to hide the pain I have inside
I can fill oceans with tears that I've cried 
Do you know me if you did then you'd run
You know it won't be good times when I'm done

Think you're bad ass but you won't in a minute, nope
Scenes are hazy 
When you're down on the ground and I'm going crazy
Yup, lotta shit going on in my head
I just want my cerebral fed with the beat I did
And the seed of the beast I am 
I just wanna be the man

Your words
Your words are empty
Your words
Your words are empty and picturesque
I
Will
Cleanse you
You will know who I am
You will know who I am
You will know who I am
I am 
Me

Your Words

My new song 'Darkness Was My Name'. This song is about lost love. It was written, recorded and produced by myself. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
We loved in a time and place
Gone but never erased
Fire could crack a holy stone in two
Water could mould its rugged edges smooth

So I cast my lonely piece
Into the howling sea
My palms were covered in thick blood
That’s what holding onto lost love does

But curse the rain
For washing off my pain
Penance is gained 
But darkness was my name

But once every blue moon
A memory comes to
Drop a single sweet and venom kiss
On my red and lonesome lips

A fluttering of its wings
Causes the air to sing
Sing some forgotten ancient tune
A tune that I would only sing for you

But curse the rain
For washing off my pain
Penance is gained 
But darkness was my name

Curse the rain
For washing off my pain
Penance is gained 
But darkness was my name

Penance is gained 
But darkness was my name

Darkness Was My Name
