Lyrics:
Oh the red moon climbs,
Over the city line,
I can name the constellations.
When you called me last,
We were lovers in the past,
I can feel my heart is breaking.

So I heard you’re home,
Nothing’s changed I hope,
Could you love like you loved before?
If you came to see,
What you mean to me,
You would never walk out the door. 

Oh the red moon fades,
In a sky of amber rain,
I could swear I left it all behind.
And the last three words,
Felt like the first I ever heard,
I can’t seem to get them out of my mind.

So I heard you’re home,
Nothing’s changed I hope,
Could you love like you loved before?
If you came to see,
What you mean to me,
You would never walk out the door.
 
If you stay,
If you stay you’ll be wishing you’d walked away,
And if I can’t hold you down,
I won’t hold you down.
And you know,
And you know that if ever you call my name,
If ever you call my name,
I won’t let you down,
I won’t let you down.

So I heard you’re home,
Nothing’s changed I hope,
Could you love like you loved before?
If you came to see,
What you mean to me,
You would never walk out the door.

Lyrics:

Is this it?
What a beautiful mess I’ve got myself into,
This time,
In the half-light of our failings where are you?

And I see, you’ve made promises to her,
You’re always wasting everything we were.

I am only one half, all the time, all the time,
You are breaking her heart, it should be mine, should be mine,
In everything I’ve done, you were the only one,
I’ll take (I’ll take), my love (my love), and run,
You’re a loaded gun.

Is this it?
In the fall I remember how to feel alive,
You’re back,
Are we strangers or lovers trying to survive?

And I see, you’ve made promises to her,
You’re always wasting everything we were.

I am only one half, all the time, all the time,
You are breaking her heart, it should be mine, should be mine,
In everything I’ve done, you were the only one,
I’ll take (I’ll take), my love (my love), and run,
You’re a loaded gun.

I am only one half, all the time, all the time,
You are breaking her heart, it should be mine, should be mine,
In everything I’ve done, you were the only one,
I’ll take (I’ll take), my love (my love), and run,
You’re a loaded gun.

Lyrics: 

Sitting on the deck,
Wishing I was underneath a Matala moon,
God knows that I’ll be missing him soon, when he goes away.

Mama she frets,
Hiding in the shadows of a lonely room,
Writing letters to a distant few from a fading day.

Lately there’s a change in the wind,
I can feel it as it sings on my skin,
But I'd be lost out on the road.

I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go,
There's a feeling I get now every time he shows,
My heart wants what I can't give myself,
So I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go.

My baby lives free,
He’s got a manner fit to see the world,
I know I’m gonna miss him so, when he leaves tonight.

Playing it safe,
Wait undercover for a chance to run,
Am I ever gonna be someone, who takes the wilder ride?

Lately there’s a change in the wind,
I can feel it as it sings on my skin,
But I'd be lost out on the road.

I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go,
There's a feeling I get now every time you show,
My heart wants what I can't give myself,
So I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go.

Do you really want trust my mind?
It changes nearly all the time,
Just like all I’ve ever known.
I know it could be you and me,
Love, and us and everything,
So tell me why I feel alone?

I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go,
There's a feeling I get now every time you show,
My heart wants what I can't give myself,
So I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go.
I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t go.

Lyrics:

You think you understand me,
But maybe you don’t,
I can’t hand my last love over,
To someone who won’t.

And the time goes by,
So I wish us well,
But you can spend a lifetime,
Trying to make your heart tell you…

That you love someone,
When you don’t,
That you love someone,
When you won’t,
And it’s the hardest fall,
The sweetest lie of all,
I know that you know now,
Forever isn’t together anymore.

I’ll be everything you need baby,
Everything and more,
Cause you’ve opened my eyes lately,
To all I was before.

But inside your mind,
Has you going through hell,
Cause you can spend a lifetime,
Trying to make your heart tell you…

That you love someone,
When you don’t,
That you love someone,
When you won’t,
And it’s the hardest fall,
It’s the sweetest lie of all,
I know that you know now,
Forever isn’t together anymore.

Why are you still holding onto us now?
I’m on the inside but you’re looking out,
And the time goes by,
You’re still going through hell,
I don’t wanna spend a lifetime,
Trying to make your heart tell you…

That you love someone,
When you don’t,
That you love someone,
When you won’t,
And it’s the hardest fall,
It’s the sweetest lie of all,
I know that you know now,
Forever isn’t together,
Oh I know that you know now,
Forever isn’t together anymore.

Lyrics:

In this town,
If I sold truth,
I’d be poor and they’d say that I love you,
Well that’s the part,
I can never play.
If you say that you trust,
The heart you must,
You’re waiting for a sign.
This is the last time,
I will try to occupy your mind.

In our house,
The lights are low,
And I can hardly stay,
If this is my fault,
I’ll take the road,
So please don’t lay the blame.
If you say that you trust,
The heart you must,
You’re waiting for a sign.
This is the last time,
I will try to occupy your mind.

Ooh let me go easy,
Without a fight,
Ooh if you believe me,
I tried.

In this town,
If I sold truth,
I’d be poor and they’d say that I love you,
Well that’s the part,
I can never play.
If you say that you trust,
The heart you must,
You’re waiting for a sign.
This is the last time,
I will try to occupy your mind.

Serpents & Fireflies Lyrics:
Really think I'd do anything for him,
Should I let that gentle sadness in to hibernate with all of mine?
When I think about it I forget this feeling,
Like I'm stealing love from another man,
And I don't even understand.

Push me to the edge I need to fall if I can help it,
The only way to feel alive.
I can't scream at the top of my lungs cause they're so tired.

Moments that once mundane brighten my eyes in the dank early mornings of December,
Realise I am caught in a current you're pulling me in.

Break in slow motion when you read my eyes,
With all your serpents and your fireflies.

Lyrics:
This year the winter feels appealing,
Got feelings I should now confide,
Quick now the doors will soon be closing on the corners of my mind.

Catch that familiar downward spiral,
Skidding on the rails to take me home,
Oh but I won't be so easily distracted in company alone.

Wait, what's this?
I could steal a kiss from this new hope,
He's the reason I'm breathing,
A secret worth keeping.
Believe me when I say you feel like home,
Believe me when I say you feel like home.

Count the days of talking it round it circles,
Actions speak much louder in the end,
And it can feel as though you're losing love forever but it's really just a friend.

Wait, what's this?
I could steal a kiss from this new hope,
He's the reason I'm breathing,
A secret worth keeping.
Believe me when I say you feel like home,
Believe me when I say you feel like home,
Believe me when I say you feel like home.

'Home' by Rebecca Leach

My latest collaboration 'Angelie', written and recorded with my talented friend Karl Viertel. Here is a link to his SoundCloud page, check it out!

Lyrics:-
It would take a pretty penny just to find you,
Kicking up dust in the back of a pick up truck riding through the night away,
And you say you’ll be back before tomorrow,
Soon enough, you’ll be gone again.

Angelie, you’re the keeper of a heart you’ll never know,
You’ve been running so much faster than your feet can take you home,
Is this the best thing?
Or are you just testing me?
Angelie please!

Your brother told some tales that you were drinking,
But he’s a devil and cheat and I did you wrong for thinking you would ever lie,
Time goes by, you’ll be back before tomorrow,
Soon enough, I won’t know the reasons why.

Angelie, you’re the keeper of a heart you’ll never know,
You’ve been running so much faster than your feet can take you home,
Is this the best thing?
Or are you just testing me?
Angelie please!

It can take a lot of courage just to be alone,
I’ve been waiting in the shadows by the telephone,
You know tonight is the night I may finally decide that this is done,
You’ve been hiding,
You’ve been hiding far too long.

Angelie, you’re the keeper of a heart you’ll never know,
You’ve been running so much faster than your feet can take you home,
Is this the best thing?
Or are you just testing me?
Angelie please!

About my music:
I see things in people all the time that inspire me. Little fleeting moments that most would ignore. The way we love, the way we act, feel and live. After all, what else is there is you take 'us' out of the world. There wouldn't be anyone there to see it...

Think of this as a songwriting sketchbook. Production quality varies massively so don't go all technical on me, that's not what this page is about.
