You could be my woodling heart
Yet fire could burn
Here and now
You’re bathed in my embrace

You could be my warm in heart
Who flies away
Here and now
You’re captured in my embrace 

Do we defy a storm
Do we defy a storm
That might shelter us
From harm

You could be my autumn mist
That drowns in sun
Here and now 
You’re shadowed in my embrace

You could be a winter’s dream
That never sleeps
Here and now
The world might seem at peace

Do we defy a storm
Do we defy a storm
That might shelter us
From harm……

Woodling Heart

Spy a moth near a flame
It don’t want you to explain
The flame is not for you
It’s for a moth who got away….
I’d like to believe if it’s me
Then I’d want for you to say 
Don’t burn your wings again
Just put them on
And we will fly away

Come with me
May the light of the darkness
Seem so bright with me

You took me to the edge of life
You flew me through the darkest night
You left me on the edge of light
A burning wing as you took flight

Caught up in a whirl of winds
Pull me from these clouds of fire

As the moth nears a flame 
It is too late to explain 
The flame is hot for you
It burns a light to show the way
If you don’t believe that it’s true
Then you’d want for me to say
Don’t burn your wings again 
Just put them on 
And we will fly away

Come with me
May the light of the darkness
Seem so bright with me

Take me to the edge of life
Pull me through the darkest night
Leave me on the edge of light
A burning wing
As you took flight
Where are you going Moth?
Where are you going Moth? 


Thanks for listening……….rob

MOTH

Breakdown 
Car light
In the night
Just At the moment I needed you
You faded away…….

breakdown car light

where the winds lay, 
afar then new....
a dancing cloud could take me away 
...... across a room
 a shadow that shapes life...
mountain meadows melt in me....
as smoke rings sing and dance 
they mention another romance!
....across a room  
eyes that hide a love 
hanging on conjured words
sending follies blessed as gifts
to know......
the hollow man 
could be filled 
with light and song.....

a single word that could light a room, 
hovers close to the melting moon
......to amuse you!

wake, just for a moment and say goodbye.....
and let the morning cry...
you raised a war of ones to be
a silent guarantee is all that's left inside....
Sanctus, dominus, for the mothers who leave
If I'm lonely without you
I will carry this ............. here


this is dedicated to Pam and June........

Music written and performed by Stephan
Vocals and lyrics by Rob

....see a light
coming in lines
coming to take me.....
me aligned...( "help" )
aligned with storms
searching for shelter
cold from the water
my arms feel numb.....no longer mine

A Swimmer's Tail (Stephan Fischer & Rob Symons)

Am I now ghOst

Written and performed by rob symons

Lyrics:

am I now Ghost?
have I drowned in spirits?
Spirits that made my soul fidget
Am I out of control?
Are you underwhelmed?

You, you see something that I used to be 
Something that I’m struggling to see 
Am I subtle me?
So subtle that you fail to see…..

Down in those dark memories 
You are there toying with me 
Like a soul bare…..

Today is Tuesday I think
And have I failed to wish you well?
A lost coin in a wishing well 
That failed to make its mark known 
So underwhelmed 

You, you see something you’ve forgotten to be
Someone who is lost within your soul
Someone you’ve forgotten to let go…..

Down in those 
Dark memories 
You are there
Toying with me
Like a soul bare….
So why would you treat me right
Sin and sobering diamond….
Always……..

am I now Ghost

I see the sly fox laughing……..a moment to hide (perhaps)


Lyrics:

An army of wisdom follows you
To the enth and nine
I follow a single footstep behind
As the hour glass burns….

Now only this light could shine
Where it seems impossible
Only this light could shine….

Winter’s moodless moment undone
Clouds carry me on ….
I wish it….
Into forests, into glades
The swirling mists turn

Dreams falter
Like I am dreaming in silence
Eyes wide as foxes
Inside I fall again
Dream maker
Inside I fold 
I am folding Wide eyed foxes
Inside I’m born again
Whilst the monsters 
Are mocking the mighty ahead…..

Summer sun will you stay?
“there is only this moment…
Touch it……”

Now only this light could shine
Where it seems impossible
Only this light could shine….
Dreams falter
Like I am dreaming in silence
Eyes wide as foxes
Inside I fall again
Dream maker
Inside I fold 
I am folding Wide eyed foxes
Inside I’m born again

Forbidden thought hidden
I hid a thought, hidden
Yet you say
“Do you see me laughing at you?”
Wide eyed, i say
“Oh yes!”

Wide Eyed In Foxes

Song of the Dead……

Thank you for listeningx

The fallow walk

gather a cloud
mAke it white
catch a spell ..... from the sky
(make a wish)
gather a cloud......tail cloud touching the ground
I hold air! (make a wish)....
gather the rain
force rain
I hear it gathering
embrace who remain....
gather a sound And make it ring out...
in a minds eye I bring out that I might not seem to know you
but we don't need no me now
we don't need no kind regard...
take a storm cloud, make it ring out, and sell some
take a storm cloud, make it ring out, and sell some
gathering, gathering, gathering...

gather my senses close to me
I hear you breathe out
and I want the world to hold me

(gather a cloud and make it white
fear the rain, fear the pain
for the sight and the sounds 
fear the rain.....
And fade away……
gather a cloud)

thank you for listening.....there are so many times we must find the spirit that let's us go.....I go cloud gathering - and I hear you breathe - a gathering sound...........

The Corner Of Me South

Mirror Mirror
do you find me wanting?
an echo that simply disappears?
a silent stream that trickles down my skin?
do they begin to fade away?
then come....to colour me with doubt.

Mirror Mirror
you have faked my fear
ignored me and sailed me out
ignored me and sailed echos 
that fall as love unfolds - breaking down the door 

Mirror Mirror
you whisper in my ear
"are you fading away?"
"do you see the dragons start to form
within the summer dawn of earth’s green coloured rings.......?”


thank you for listening..... xx

nieve en el verano

...a salt stain
..melt of rain
slowly trickle down
making pools of light.

and I suppose
at the hour as I breathe in something sour
I was taken down, by the role you chose.

do you hear the light?

a moment lead 
to somewhere safe
that sailed away - far went the silver shoe

as you see me longing
beaten by the rain
can you be disheartened
or be the boat today....

can you hear the light??

Dear Stranger

This is a cover of an Angelo Badalamenti/ Marianne Faithful composition for the films The City of Lost Children and La Fille sur le Pont....it was sung by Marianne Faithful...beautiful and haunting .....and this is my humble version …

Lyrics…….
I can't give you all my dreams
Nor the life I live.
You and I know what friendship means,
That's all we got to give.
Who will take your dreams away
Takes your soul another day.
What can never be lost is gone,
It's stolen in a way.
Please, don't stand too close to me,
Can you hear my heart ?
Take my warmth and lean on me
When we're not apart.
Now our mission is complete
All our friends are here
Evil things brought down by the light,
Life goes on until the end.

Who will take my dreams away (Angelo Badalamenti/Marianne Faithful) cover

Requiem for the sleeper (rob symons & Thomas Bradley)

Living in a line
If you’ve noticed
Floating all at sky
Isn’t all this....
Catch a dollar missed
Total floatiss 
Floatying lion
In a narrow boatiss 

Float
In love
With you.....

A Golden beam
Captures me evergreen 
Falling over objects seen
We know you!
Hey ly e lion


Fall
In Love
With you

“May Day”

Catch a dollar missed
Total floatiss 
Floatying lion
In a narrow boatiss

With thanks for listening.......robx
