IN MY DREAMS I FLY

Tomorrow I know you’ll go away
And again I shall cry
I know I won’t hear you say
I’ll love you till I die
So once again I try to sleep
Sometimes I’d like to die
Yours was the love I couldn’t keep
But in my dreams we fly

What do I look like to you?
I know that I’m not much
But oh what can I do
When I thrill to your touch
So once again into my dreams
A land where I can’t cry
And lost loves are silent screams
And in my dreams I fly.

Day by day I carry on
Thru’ the rhythm of your scorn
People say that life is long
But I wish I’d not been born
Once again my dreams unfold
And take me to the sky
In this story never told
I dream that we can fly.

WE CAN MEET

We can meet somewhere tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
Meet under a fleeting moon
Or under summer sun
We can meet again tomorrow
But both of us know
We’ll not meet tomorrow
‘cos I’ve gotta go’.

We can meet again someday
Only call my name
You won’t call tomorrow
Tomorrow’s filled with pain
We can meet again tomorrow
I know where you’ll be
Meet again tomorrow
When you’ll be missing me.

We might meet again one day
Meet one day as friends
We should meet again one day
‘cos how can love just end
We might meet again one day
I’ll see you in a crowd
But I won’t say nothing
I’ll not cry out loud.

SILVER HOPES AND GOLDEN WISHES

Days are all dark
Nights are all grey
Seems that my life
Just slips away
And so I live
Inside my head
Crying salt tears
Alone in my bed.

Silver hopes and golden wishes
Fill these dreams of mine
So I try to drown them
In another glass of wine.

All night I’m alone
Cold in my bed
Thoughts of your love
Running round my head
Could have been better
Could have tried some more
Could have tried to stop you
Going out the door.

Silver hopes and golden wishes
Fill these dreams of mine
So I try to drown them
In another glass of wine.

Dreams are like kisses
They cut and they scar
Can’t tell just when
You push them too far
My dreams have all died
Held in your hand
My hopes subside to a never never land.

MY PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT

Some day when you’ve gone
It’s cold and dark and nights are long
The lonely hours just stretch ahead
And you can’t face your lonely bed
You’ll think back to the happy days
And easy gentle sunny ways
And you’ll know that I loved you
My princess of the night.

Oh how I loved you
Through the days and the nights
Oh how I loved you
My princess of the night.

And now the coals fall from the fire
And the night turns dark and cold
I miss your arms your eyes your eyes
Our long was young but now is old.

And in the morning in the sun
I’ll just sit and wonder why
How a love once strong and young
Could just wither up and die.

In the evening and in the rain
I’ll sit and I will cry
How can I bear such pain
Without love I’ll want to die.

WINTER DAYDREAMS

My winter daydreams
Like sun in the sand
Lake water frozen
As frost in the hand
Soon comes the dark sky
And here comes the cold
And here comes the day
When our love ran cold

Memories of spring
Lying in the grass
Never thought that love
Could be in the past
Soon comes the dark days
Soon comes the cold

Soon comes the day
When our love was old

The old sun shine done
In the summer morns
And I wake with you
Every single dawn
Soon came the dark days
Soon came the cold
Soon came the day
When our love ran cold.

And now Autumns gone
And you are set to leave
My winter daydreams
Wither on the breeze
Now the days are dark
Now there is no light
No warm to hold me
No single thing that’s right.

SOMEONE CAME

Someone came and took my love
Took my love away
Someone stole my only love
The world stopped yesterday.

I never knew I loved her
Until she wasn’t here
I never knew I needed her
To keep away the fear.

Was it you who took my love
Took my love away
Did you just steel my love
Break my heart today.

Now I walk a lonely road
Without a love to hold
Now I walk in the shade
And life has grown cold.

I’VE OFTEN THOUGHT

I’ve often thought
I’d say to you
The things I kept inside
But you never came
And I began to hide
So many times I cried your name
To my pillow in the dark
But you wouldn’t see me
And I would never fight
And now I read about you
In the columns that you write
And I can never see you
Never hold you tight
And you have gone and risen up
A new star in the sky
And all I do is call your name
I might as well just die
But I had you once and loved you then
And you said you loved me
And so I hang by silken threads
And don’t want to be free.

AND I HAD A DREAM

And I had a dream
It was so real
I looked for a dream
I could touch and feel
And you were with me
Like a garland of flowers
And you set me free
The sunshine was ours.

But the days are dark
And winter is long
I dream of the day
When the dark clouds have gone

And you had a dream
You knew it was true
And in your dream
I was with you
And you were with me
Like the sun in our hearts
We couldn’t see
We never could part

And we dreamt our dream
Every night
You’d still be here
By dawns early light
And you’d never leave
And I’d never go
As long as we breathe
I’ll love you so.

Only a dream
Only a dream
Sometimes I wish
I loved in a dream
But I’m here alone
And you went away
Without you here
My dreams went astray.

TURN BACK THE CLOCK

Turn back the clock
Stop all the time
Just take me back
To when you were mine
Turn back the clock
To yesterday
When you were here
Not gone away.

Turn back the clock
Push back the hands
To yesterday
When we had plans
Turn back the clock
Turn back my dreams
So I can’t hear
My silent screams.

Turn back my life
And set me free
For only death
Can set me free
Turn back the hope
That died in my heart
Turn back the time
Make a new start.

Hold back the door
Let it stay night
I know I have lost
My sunlight
Hold back the tears
That start to fall
Hold back my life
I’ve lost it all.

CROWDED STREETS AND EMPTY FACES

Crowded streets and empty faces
Looking round the same old places
Of what we were there are no traces
Where did I go wrong.

We used to laugh about the future
Lived our lives without a care
We looked just like the perfect pair
Where did I go wrong.

Your city job took you away
Never saw you in the day
You never seemed to want to stay
Where did I go wrong.

What more can I say to you
There’s nothing we can say or do
I know you’ve got somebody new
Where did I go wrong.

EVERY BRIDGE

Every bridge
Every ocean
Every river
Every sea
Brings you close
Closer to me
Brings you closer
Here to me

Every railroad
Every airplane
Every sea
Brings you close
Closer to me
Brings you closer
Here to me

Every night time
Every full moon
Every storm
Every sea
Brings you close
Closer to me
Brings you closer
Here to me

Every smile
Every kiss
Every bird
Up in a tree
Brings you close
Closer to me
Brings you closer
Here to me

Every evening
Every morning
Days will pass
Just you see
You’ll get close
Closer to me
You’ll be closer
Closer to me.
