Love the eyes/dragonflies rhyme.  This is such a great song Steve.

ALWAYS

I see the look in your eyes, something you can't disguise , 
And you can't hide with that smile 'cause by the morning sun 
you'll be gone .. I know you'll be gone  
But I have to tell you ,before you make that start
I could see it coming, I knew you'd break my heart 
In two … But I will always love you

Been through life not believing, everything just seemed cold to me
Then you showed me a different way, and I have to say
I saw this world your way
And just in case, when it's all said and done
I never realised there would be someone 
I knew
That's why I'll always love you 

M8

Been through life never seeing,
All the things that meant so much to you
The winter skies, and snow in our eyes 
Or the summer sun and dragonflies
An evening breeze, as we watch the setting sun
Balmy nights when we were joined as one
It's true
I will always love you

THE LONDON WAY      ( Copyright SupaReels Music )

It is six o'clock and the winter sun is rising 
The hardened light makes it difficult to see
Dark shapes hidden in the night 
Will soon have colour from the light   
As the morning sun rises slowly from it's slumber
Somewhere now a dog begins it's howling 
And a voice calls out a name as if to scold
Then silence holds time quite still, as if against it's very will
And order comes again to this day   
In St' James's park you can hear the birds are singing
As the taxi's take the rich on their way (to start their day)  
While people queue at bus stops, like solders on parade
This is how it starts for them every working day ….. 

Chorus	It's the London way, the London way
	Just another day in the London way

Buildings hold the history of deeds done, black as night
Where vagabonds and villains were punished for their plights
The eye stands like a target to dungeons built of stone
But no one cares their preoccupied as they chat on mobile 'phones      
So near to them the wicked and the rotten
Cast in wax so they won't be forgotten 
The morning sun can mesmerize when you look across the Thames 
Pavements sparkle silver light like a million little gems.
Smells from waking restaurants with fancy names in different fonts 
Fills the air and makes this poor boy hungry 
The barrow boys call out their fair, a sight to see as you stand there
With cheeky lines they've heard since they were children      

I remember in the day, when we were just kids we used to play
On the bombed out sites with broken glass and stone
We were running wild and playing free, looking back now I can see
London now seems so different to me
Every day as I walked to my school
Each brick by brick, I saw it all 
The tower blocks seemed to touch the sky, the busy streets now simplified
By blocks of gray where people lived and died …
No rag and bone man or tinkers to see, or the smell of tar when a delivery
Of coal that was delivered by a horse and cart
Gardens covered by slabs of stone so motors cars can park at home
Away from the yellow lines and 'no go zones

The London Way

Another Love Song (Thrown Away)  (Copyright  SupaReels Music)

https://youtu.be/mD6a1Flx9Ag

I was thinking only yesterday,
Just how many words I've thrown away.
In these songs that I'm sure you knew
Every love song was made for you... (Rhythm start)

On the wall hangs a photograph,
Of a place we used to go
We drank coffee there in the morning sun
I think they called it Michel Angelo

We walked for miles as the sun came up
Sharing our thoughts without a care
And to a sunset we made love
In my heart I often go there

 Guitar break

There were times as I lay by your side
It felt so good to be together
But I feared as lovers often do
That it couldn't last forever ….

I can't explain though I've tried every way
The love I have for you wont go away
I'm realising with each passing day
I'll always love you more than songs can say
 
But I can't help it when I think of you 
I just pick up the old guitar and play
It's the only thing that I can do
To nurse a broken heart another day

Just as a moth is drawn into the flame (Candle shot)
I can't help myself from trying
To write a song that wins your heart again
And prove my love is undying

So once again old friend I'm here with you (Guitar shot)
Nothing changes but the rhyme
Another love song to throw away
With silly words she will never find

Lost piano sound (heavy reverb)    to end.

Thrown Away

SPAK ;- Nickname for about 40 years .. forgotten why?

I have been writing songs and poetry since the 60's. I joined a band ( Kerbstone ) in the 70's as lead vocalist and rhythm guitar, soon we purchased a Vox keyboard on which I played such things as Hawkwind 's 'In search of space' .. that was until we were thrown off stage at a Pontins  holiday camp during the gig for being too loud! At some point the bassist decided to marry his girlfriend ( who hated sitting on the stage waiting to drive him home) and our guitarist discovered that grass is sometimes greener (if you get the point) and went AWOL.

Me on the other hand got into writing and singing, joined a few other bands doing vocals, but my heart was in recording. I had a two year contract from a rip off agent, did some work for RCA ,although gainfully employed elsewhere and, actually turned down an A&R guy .. bad move as I discovered later E/L/& P had some interest. I wrote some gospel songs that I think are still be sung , but they ended up in America somewhere so I'm not sure ... Marriage took over then kids and mortgage payments plus trimmings were the order of the day.
My best friend and wife has been though it all with me and put up with my desire to build a small studio in retirement ... so there it is ...an opened nutshell.
Lastly ... I hope you enjoy listening to my songs  ...
