"I was then"

V1

I can say I'm only human
and that I make mistakes now and then
I can say it wasn't me 
but one of my crazy stupid friends
I know you probably hate me
I'm not trying to pretend. 
If you could hear me now. 

C

Please know I wish I could do it again
I wish I could be better than 
Who I am, Who I think I was then 


V2

Remember those days
Oh we wish would never end
How'd we get here, 
God it's hard to comprehend 
I took it for granted, 
Lost sight of everything 
If I could tell you now...

Instrumental/middle 8


V3

The heart is precious, 
more than any kind of gem
So Easy to break it
much harder to make it mend 
I got nothing 
just love for you in the end 
If you can hear me know 

C
Please know I wish I could do it again
I know I would be better than...
Who I am, Who I think I was then

An old song I wrote but never put out there, it's about a moment of clarity.

Before the Rain Comes in
BY Yasemin K 
 
Verse 1
Sometime not long ago
There was a house made of love and light filled with hope
Green fields and mine's of gold, what a wonderful thing to behold
 
Verse 2
Lucky little fools without a clue
Friends til the end grand barbecues
Easy days and simple fears
what a mighty fıne way to pass the years
 
PC
You don’t know what you’ve got until it might be gone
Lets take a picture of this and carry on.. (Considering changing to: Hold dear to all that we have and carry on)
 
Chorus
Lets leave before the rain comes in
Before we talk about how it could have been
Lets say goodbye cause we know what it's like when the rain comes in (changing to: lets say goodbye, don't know what we'll find when the rain comes in)
Lets Leave before the Rain comes in
Before our spirits dry and our voices dim 
Lets say goodbye cause we know what its like when the rain comes in (changing to: lets say goodbye before we know what its like when the rain comes in)
 
Verse 3
Café’s filled with stories told (changing to: tables filled)
No pressure to be brave or young or bold (changing it to: No pressure to carry more than you can hold)
Jacaranda trees lining the streets
Kids being kids just playing free
 
Lucky little fools without a clue
Friends til the end, grand barbecues
Easy days and simple fears
What a mighty fine way to pass the years
 
PC
You don’t know what you’ve got until it might be gone
Lets take a picture of this
and carry on..
 
Chorus

BEFORE THE RAIN COMES IN - Worktape

The Plan. 
Verse 1 
I walked into the silent woods where my prayers could be heard.
The trees and all their leaves were listening to every spoken word.
Can you change, can you change what’s written in our fate….  	

Chorus
Is there really a light at the end?
So all of this darkness we see will make sense?
Will some martyred souls pay the tolls for the lucky ones ahead…
Is it part of the plan..Is there really a  plan?
