Lyrics:

River of Dreams 

Take me down to be baptised in your River of dreams
And I’ll follow you where ever you may lead
I don’t pretend to know much but I know This one thing…
That God is Love, and Love means everything.

There’s been so many doctrines And insane philosophies 
Unending like the currents of the seas
But strip it down to love, And we’ll be able to see,
We’re all just flesh and bone from the same tree

Chorus 
And as I leave a trail of memories, And all the moments in between 
I found that love was all that mattered, And loved is how we’re meant to be

Verse 2
Now some of us are pretty much confused all the time
But I’ve never been more sure when I’m with you.
So wade me in your river, let me float for a while…
Your sweet embrace is like the morning dew.

Chorus 
And drinking from your sacred chalice, the vale of doubt will be removed
And gentle hearts will over flow in every way,
And say the things that words can never say….  Can never say …

Bridge:
Oh it’s you.. and only you!
That ignites my soul makes me lose control
Oh and you will never know,
How the words you speak writes a sonnet in my soul

So take me down to be baptised in your river of dreams, 
And I’ll follow you wherever you may lead.

River of Dreams

This is the story about a Blade of Grass....

A Blade of Grass -  by Nat Daniels

There’s a blade of grass , stuck on my shoe
It weathered many storms 
And bathed in sunny hues
But it never saw the sun 
Like I saw it in your smile 
And it never saw a kiss so sweet
Like a gentle breeze 
‘till you moved your lips on mine ..   

Chorus:
It had lead a simple life 
‘Till I tracked it through your door
It was happy and content 
Now it’s torn in knowing more
For it never knew what people do
And that love can be so beautiful 
Like Yours and Mine 

2. 
So that Blade of grass boarded a train
And it crossed a sunny border in the pouring rain
It had traveled all the world
Seeing splendour in all things
But the little grass would trade it all 
To be there with you .. 
It would be her only wish.

Chorus:
Now it’s resting on a shelf, 
By those worn and travelled shoes
And it longs to glide on wings,
In a journey back to you
To relive the dream ..  
Of Me and You
On a starry hill that’s made for two 
.....  Made for Two

There’s a blade of grass, next to my shoe
And it knows a fairy tale 
Of a night so deep and blue 
If it only had one wish 
It would wish to be a star
And to lead me back into your arms 
And to smile on us from a far..

Blade of Grass

Blade Of Grass - Nat Daniels

When someone from your youth wants to reconnect with you.. but you need to make them understand that the Universe sends us on different paths, and that "Everything Happens for a Reason"..  We all grow up, and I'm grateful for the age of wisdom. I wish those who need to hear these words, Love and Light, Contentment and Peace.

Lyrics:
Sleeping Satellites

I didn’t come round here to open up a scar
I didn’t come to make amends
I only wanted you to know that I once cared
Sitting on your pretty fence..

Time has, gone by
But you and I were like Sleeping Satellites…
But I can’t heal you   
You’re the one that has to find your line of sight 

Sleeping Satellites….

Chorus:
But you still see a fairy tale 
We were young and unprepared  
And for a time I loved you,
But you’re just bored and now she’s being mean
But no one is perfect  
And yet you cling to this dream..

Your life with her is worth the fight
I send you all my love and light
But Baby we were never more than  
Sleeping Satellites 
No we were Nothing more

Bridge: 
We both grew up …
And now You must see …  

Chorus: 
Some things aren’t meant to be  
I’ll always be your first love 
Your first in many things
But I can’t be your living dream
No matter how she’s hurt you 
Just tell her what you Need

I send you all my love and light
But Baby we were Never more than 
Sleeping Satellites, Sleeping Satellites
No we were nothing more than Sleeping Satellites
Sleeping Satellites

Sleeping Satellites

Lyrics By Gaz Brownie:

You have a  affliction 
(to your addictions)
You have looked death in the eye
(Shed the  crocodile tear dry )
A life that’s been designed 
(You Crashed, burnt &  survived )
In the early hours 
(Thank god no roadside flowers )
You gambled on your life 
Took a massive risk that night 
Pushing against the rules
Thinking your invincible

This is to  the man  who’s a boy 
Who’s had everything x2
You are down  to the wire 
Running faster getting Higher

This is your father and your mother 
Dealing with you  like no other
Your in  danger of going to far
Especially that night in the car 
Something will give or happen 
So break the cycle of this  pattern
It’s time to grow up 
For the boy who’s  had everything

Lyrics: 

Silent…tears are falling  
Raining teardrops… that call your name  
Darlin’… you stopped listening  
And I can’t reach you… or see you again  
And as the teardrops start to fall,  
Each one a hammer on the floor 
I hope that someday you will hear 
 A single silent tear

Days turn nights.. So all alone  
What kind of fool would turn and go?  
And I keep staring at the phone  
(Darling I'm sitting here at home...)
Wishing you’d call and say hello  
(Oh babe I miss you so..)
But as the teardrops start to fall, 
Their silence broken on the floor  
I hope that someday you will hear  
A single… silent tear

Oh Maybe you’ll forgive me  
Somehow not forget me…  Baby please…
(Can you forgive me too.. Oh baby)
And Oh Maybe you’ll remember
The way we felt together 
And come back to me..
… come back to me.. 
(come back to me...)

Oh Silent…tears are falling  
Wishing you and I could start again  
But Baby… time has taken over    
(My sweet baby)(My sweet Angel)
And I know we’ll never be the same 
(Baby please don't say it's so..)
 'Cause As the teardrops start to fall, 
Their silence broken on the floor 
 I hope that someday you will hear  
A single silent tear 
Oh I hope that someday you will hear  …
A single… silent tear 

Baby please.. can you hear each tear call your name..
(Baby please... oh baby i can hear each tear)
Baby please.. This is the one day I will hear..
A single silent tear..

Single Silent Tear

Marry Me In Vegas

V1
I know I’ve been marry before
But that was a god damn chore
I want to do something different
Instead of feeling insignificant
It’s always been a dream of mine
So baby don’t decline
So I got down on one knee
And said you are the man for me

Chorus
Marry me in Vegas, It will be amazing
I will never look so pretty
Standing in the sin city
And my thoughts they wonder
To Elvis singing love me tender
That Beautiful velvet voice
Being trashed by a pub singer
Marry me in Vegas

V2
Now to be honest I didn’t wanna get married
But Vegas beats my local the horse & carriage
And she’s already brought all of the tickets
I’m British so it wouldn’t be cricket
How could I honestly say no
When it’s a place I’ve always
wanted to go

Chorus
Marry me in Vegas
It will be amazing ……
I will never look so pretty
Standing in sin city
And my thoughts they wonder
To Elvis singing love me tender
That Beautiful velvet voice
Being trashed by a pub singer
Marry me in Vegas

Guitar Solo - Mike Fox

V3
On the day of the flight Im a no show
I over slept and when on a go slow
She was waiting at the airport for me
So I rang her and made up a story 
She said : I’m telling ya this ain't gonna happen
You better get yourself here!
To marry me In Vegas
Am I making myself clear!

Outro
She shouts down the line …….
You better make make it on time ….
To…
Marry me in Vegas

Lyrics:

I can’t believe you're back in the city 
We called our own..
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real….Real good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time!)

2nd Verse
So after Vegas I needed to leave 
I should've worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what to say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
All the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. Real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble

For My Audience Of One

V1
A creation from the same mother
(Playing rock stars with your elder brother)
From the council estate to touring Europe
(You tried to the USA and became a standing tourist )
When your private life takes to the stage
(And the in fighting gets a little harder to gauge)
When your milk chocolate
you just eat yourself
(And little old you has been left out to melt)

Chorus
Everything is done
For an audience of one
That audience is you
And sadly it’s true
Oh sadly it's true...

V2
And now you talk at all no not anymore
Just word salad rants and Twitter x squawk
You're just letting go of your blind panic
I’m Living a better life feeling Super Organic

Chorus

Instrumental Break 

He left you in the blue hour
The glorious sunset turned sour
Waiting for your new sunrise
To blind those blue Adriatic eyes

Chorus

Outro
Everything is done
For my audience of one

For My Audience Of One - Fox, Brownie & Daniels

Im finally getting around to recording. The Melody and the Song is a cover, my homage to the Great Ella F..  but I took some poetic licence in changing the words a bit..   Just a little something for Christmas..   
Merry Christmas dear friends, With Love, Nat x

Lyrics:.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light,
From now on all troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas 
Full of Christmas Cheer
Sing with gladness in your heart so all can hear!

Once again we will celebrate 
Happy holidays as before.. 
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together
Families old and new!
Hang a shining star of hope for me and you 
And may you have a merry little Christmas too

And here in the UK...

Nothing says it’s Christmas like some Eggnog
Snowflakes on the trees
Coal fires drifting from a chimney on a breeze
Christmas pies, and mulled wine in the markets 
Carrols being sung, 
Couples making plans and holding hands as one

Once again we will celebrate 
Happy holidays as before 
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together
Families old and new
Hang a shining star of hope for me and you.. 
And have yourself a merry little Christmas too

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
