Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye (Andre Ramirez Cover)

Oh Center 
on the run
not much fun
but being one there's the fun
wild untamed
off the rails
oh how he fails, 
oh how he fails
[Verse 2]
she's lost her way
the wars of past come to meet them
those field are lost upon them
those courageous moments never came
so they become one in the same
and while all had been
none had seen
the glint in the snow,
the grit and rain
it shined so
and all become
[Chorus]
I told you moments like these
could build fires
and within them all 
came too and fro
but I've seen you
and imagined a moment
when blood dripped and chaos burned
an all which was earned
a victory
[Post Chorus]
far to late I burned to bright
an in this out of sight
couldn't fail to see those stars
burned over me
an you beneath my sword
beneath the gods holy fire
we two a many dance
before those words and wishes
[Male]
we became that of which all miss
and each misses
dust
[Chorus]
I told you moments like these
could build fires
and within them all 
came too and fro
but I've seen you
and imagined a moment
when blood dripped and chaos burned
an all which was earned
a victory
[Post Chorus]
far to late I burned to bright
an in this out of sight
couldn't fail to see those stars
burned over me
an you beneath my sword
beneath the gods holy fire
we two a many dance
before those words and wishes
[Male]
we became that of which all miss
and each misses
dust
[Bridge]
Could you explain to me
could you  a weary warrior
I fail and we came here but for a moment
an I hoped
there were moments
burning fires
lost hours
hopeful moments
Cold alone
then you'd cower
sing above in skies
with the heat of fire flies
we'd take them by surprise
when we come
there were moments
moments, moments
[Outro]
an you beneath my sword
beneath the gods holy fire
we two a many dance
before those words and wishes
we became that of which all miss
and each misses
dust


3. The Gods Holy Fire

[Verse]
For those feelings are buried deep
they're here always
I don't know why we spent so long
hoping
not doing anything
for this
[Verse 2]
but I know I want it
We must do this
Could we come from here to there
are we capable of greatness
could it happen to us
and we know what we as one
are capable of
accomplishing
this

[Chorus]
were are we
we are here
we are here
talking 
making
something anything
it will grow upon us
they'll come and we'll dance
they'll hope this last chance
and I'll hold them as I have you
in my arms
an you'll love every inch of them
their souls
we are capable.
[Verse 3]
an while a fulfilling pledge became that thought
reality 
needs
they're ours
she's ours at last
[Verse 4]
For we have come here
but for a moment
a meaning in time
we are here for a reason
[Chorus]
where are we
we are here
we are here
talking 
making
something anything
it will grow upon us
they'll come and we'll dance
they'll hope this last chance
and I'll hold them as I have you
in my arms
an you'll love every inch of them
their souls
we are capable.
[Outro]
that little path
those steps to that door
that door stretch high to its arch
and while it swang
open and warm out
we felt it as one
ours
theirs
home


5. We Are Capable


[Verse]
Could there be an initial phase
where the lines between these twisted worlds
fall apart like the oriel oceans
and a starcase of rotten stairs
[Verse 2]
could there be a place where all those twisted walkways fade into these oceans and the trees can't swing
while the winds buffer their leaves

[Chorus]
I found you looking so deep in the lake
and while those tears met
these waters
we met as one
and in that split-second I became
you
and
you became me
[Post-Chorus]
I've been here sinking in
an saw you beginning out
in that which came before
there was no doubt
and while I'd hoped you'd seen me
that you did
but oh
you didn't shout it

I'd hid
You'd hid
and we never met
Never met
but can't forget
we are one
The lapping oceans met sky
Oriel topsy turve die
and while it rang
it
left the ears
you calmed all my fears

[Chorus]
I found you looking so deep in the lake
and while those tears met
these waters
we met as one
and in that split-second I became
you
and
you became me
[Bridge]
Please
Please
Please
We need to know what you’re thinking
We, we, we, we must know
What you're thinking...
[Chorus]
I've been here sinking in
an saw you beginning out
and while those tears met
these waters
we met as one
and in that split-second I became
you
and
you became me
[Bridge]
Please
Please
Please
We need to know what you’re thinking
We, we, we, we must know
What you're thinking...
You became me




2. You became me

[Female Vocalist]
[Chorus]
this is permafrost
and the heart is seldom lost
for we cover all the cost
in the moss
in the hotel fire
that sorting power
that surreptitious flame
[Bridge]
burning in the flame
calling out your name
and calling out the world in which you came from
[Verse]
we call the moments lost
and hearts break out the cost
for all which had been lost
had been burnt by permafrost
I told you my name
I hoped you'd feel the same
I couldn't be to blame
for what you did from there
and while you saw me whole
the fool I had become
I told you of my heart burnt and chard by the setting sun
[Male Vocalist]
[Chorus]
his is permafrost
and the heart is seldom lost
for we cover all the cost
in the moss
in the hotel fire
that sorting power
[Both Female and Male Vocalist]
that surreptitious flame
[Bridge]
burning in the flame
calling out your name
and calling out the world in which you came from
[Verse]
we call the moments lost
and hearts break out the cost
for all which had been lost
had been burnt by permafrost
I told you my name
I hoped you'd feel the same
I couldn't be to blame
for what you did from there
[Female Vocalist]
and while you saw me whole
the fool I had become
I told you of my heart burnt and chard by
[Male Vocalist]
the setting sun
[Female Vocalist]
[Chorus]
his is permafrost
and the heart is seldom lost
for we cover all the cost
in the moss
in the hotel fire
that sorting power
that surreptitious flame
[Bridge]
burning in the flame
calling out your name
and calling out the world in which you came from
[Male Vocalist]
[Verse]
an at that point you looked out
before the shout
before the utterance
could you even feel it
[Female Vocalist]
[Bridge]
before I came to you
an within the mighty news
could you feel me there
in you
with you there
[Outro]
and all which came to be
we hope and played our dreams
there wasn't much to say
at the wrapping up of the day
[Both Female and Male Vocalist]
but hey



1. Burnt by Permafrost

[Verse]

Wars will come and go and seldom seen them so
that they give up in the middle
an battle cease
[Verse 2]
yet I found my dripping blade
an the mess which had been made
and those boys they, oh they'd played
for far too long
[Chorus]

their songs had been of their wisdom
and their fire as those cried
an while within each had called
to the gods for suicide
an while they wondered blindly
with their weapons by their sides
they're played in the pen of life
[Verse 3]
Could I take a menial timespan to think about those days
when the haze of madness filled my futile mind
crazed

and its endless furore its cold inclusive gaze
could you bring about the will to recollect those days

[Chorus]
their songs had been of their wisdom
and their fire as those cried
an while within each had called
to the gods for suicide
an while they wondered blindly
with their weapons by their sides
they're played in the pen of life
[Verse 4]
Could I take a menial timespan to think about those days
when the haze of madness filled my futile mind
crazed
and its endless furore its cold inclusive gaze
could you bring about the will to recollect those days
[Chorus]

their songs had been of their wisdom
and their fire as those cried
an while within each had called
to the gods for suicide
an while they wondered blindly
with their weapons by their sides
they're played in the pen of life
[Bridge]
I've been here before and the door called out to me
I've laid on this floor in endless retreat
I've cried out in the night
with you by my side
those endless days
that summer maze
and oh those boys they they'd played
for far too long
and oh those boys they they'd played
restless for those days
and oh we made never undone
before
it
it
setting
[Chorus]
their songs had been of their wisdom
and their fire as those cried
an while within each had called
to the gods for suicide
an while they wondered blindly
with their weapons by their sides
they're played in the pen of life
With you by my side
I've won


4. That Summers Maze

[Verse]
When we came here, the grounds were small and grey, they were sandy
and worn
the ground came up and helped a hand
it wanted to be
and you nurtured it
loved you that ground it did
[Verse2]
while this house came up
the hotel landed
our life grew up around them all
and all who came and went
saw you as that ground
that grey and sandy old lady
hoping for something 
anything to come back
[Chorus]
She was ours
she was our
and while the wind set in on that dreadful day
she simply went away
[Bridge]
I hoped that you love me half as much as she
but she's ours and I love you for that
[Verse 3]
the grounds were there for all might and wealth of that world in which she'd been
within that forest
within this earth
and while we lived and came to be
She'll always be there in our hearts
She'll spread here wings in our dreams
and all those who spent time within
they knew her intimately as we all did
the sanctuary
the love
the world in which her loving arms
could keep is warm and well
[Chorus]
She was ours
she was our
and while the wind set in on that dreadful day
she simply went away
[Outro]
Love is warmth
life is calm
precise
a being
in being
she will be held in our hearts forever


6. She's Ours

In The Quiet of the Night

I Still Remember 2025

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,800,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance sonwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!

My first 4 AI Albums can also be found here:

in Apple music (search Funkinova and/or AI Collective)

If you like anything you hear, please pass them on!

Being solely a songwriter allows me the freedom to write songs in various genres, without being restrained by style, vocal range or gender. My songs are performed by exceptional guest vocalists, with superb instrumental arrangements by Mark Pierce (revelator.co.uk).
