Soul

There’s a man singing in the street, he only asks that you move your feet
He don’t care where you come from, he don’t care what you own
He don’t live in no house, he don’t own a car
All he drives in this world is an old guitar
They say he’s living on his bones; he calls it living from the heart
He ain’t got a lot but he’s got Soul
He’s the greatest man I’ve ever known
Train pulls closer but this man ain’t riding
Of all the faces he’s the only one smiling
In his eyes, 9 til 5’s never looked so contrived
How to live without being alive
Take your gold coin and your silver one too
What he really wants is to get through to you
It shouldn’t matter where you came from, it shouldn’t matter what you own
He ain’t got a lot, but he’s got Soul
He’s the greatest man I’ve ever known
Some call it city livin’, he calls it city dying
Life’s too short to spend it all lying
To yourself and everyone else, better to be true
To yourself and everyone else, better to be you

Sunshine

Another lonely night
Fighting to keep this fire burning
Fades with every tear
Does by my side have to mean hurting?
You've been known to hold on to the pain of the past
I know I've let my ego cloud my thoughts and path
In the fallout of another breakdown
There’s no turning back
You belong in the sunshine
Your smile was meant to be
You belong in the sunshine
Nothing should come between
Another empty day
Hollowed by stinging sounds
Don’t let this love go to waste
Fade to nothing on this battleground
You've been known to make assumptions that only bring you pain
I know decisions I've made still stand in our way
In the fallout of another breakdown
There’s no turning back
You belong in the sunshine
Your smile was meant to be
You belong in the sunshine
Nothing should come between

Reflections

Open my eyes to half a life ago, blue breeze whispers to me
A song long forgotten, needles in the evergreens
Voice of the boy making noise; wood, strings and melody
In that house on the hill in between the valley and the sea
Growing reflections in the water
River running through my veins
House of wood and green iron
Shaped me day by day
Smiling wide, lost in times embrace
Swinging through life on the hinges of a wooden gate
Hands of my father, mother made the space
Left wanting for nothing as little life takes shape
Growing reflections in the water
River running through my veins
House of wood and green iron
Shaped me day by day
The river water, running through my veins
The river water, shaped me day by day

With A Smile

Feet planted firm in the dirt, words fly overhead but a few ever land on my earth
Little explosions of hope let me know of a life that’s beyond,
The sound I hear calling soothes and it stokes, then it’s gone
I wake with a weariness that I cannot shake
Hope lives inside days thinking how long must I wake
Invisible hand beckoning me, I supressed it too long
The sound I hear calling soothes and it stokes, then it’s gone
Then it’s gone…
So I’ll wait, with a smile on my face
I’m going to wait, with a smile on my face
Knowing in time, that every silence must break
I’m going to wait, with a smile on my face
A falling stone I am, momentum I gain
Released from proceedings that twisted and turned me away
Pain by decision, fulfilment is all we’ve got
The sound I hear calling, soothes then it stokes then it’s gone
Then it’s gone…
So I’ll wait, with a smile on my face
I’m going to wait, with a smile on my face
Knowing in time, that every silence must break
I’m going to wait, with a smile on my face
The path it winds but I’ll stay inside the lanes I’ve made
Temporary paper pleasure gone and lost its hold on me
Forfeiting sleep becomes easy under the right name
Savour the chase

Let Go (Live Acoustic)
05:25

Girl I don’t know how much you know or if you heard the words I said
How many days and nights must we go, until we find the road ahead?
Lately I’ve begun to wonder, if not now then why or when?
Guess we’ll never feel stronger, think we should ride this wave until it ends
I would let go of everything I know, just to see the smile on your face
If everything happens for a reason, this is one time I don’t want to tempt fate, I let go.
Too many times questions go begging to be asked; too many times you’ve crossed my mind
If all it takes is just a little bit more, then it’s only a matter of time
I would let go of everything I know, just to see the smile on your face
If everything happens for a reason, this is one time I don’t want to tempt fate, I let go.
I don’t know where I’m going but all I want to know is that I’ll be going there with you
I would let go of everything I know, just to see the smile on your face
If everything happens for a reason, this is one time I don’t want to tempt fate, I let go.
