In The Wind

I watch the grass move in the breeze,

And there are whispers in the air.

Never new that memories could be so real,

And the pain could last forever.

Thought that you were gone back then,

But there’s something I can feel.

When I go back to the places we knew,

Nothing can stop me forgetting.

I can hear you in the wind,

Your voice so reassuring,

Telling me to carry on with life,

And never look back in sorrow.

There are times I know when I can’t move on,

Without thinking about you,

But I know you’ll always be there,

While I can hear you in the wind.

There was one day so long ago,

When we walked this way together.

And nothing mattered like it does right now,

And forever was another word.

Back then the wind was so cold,

And would chill us to the bone.

Now it carries all our memories,

And it brings you back to me.

Chorus

Now I hear your voice blowing in my ears,

Stay strong and be yourself,

And if I have you by my side forever,

I know that it’ll be ok

I Think of You

I recall those final moments,

Cause they’re chiselled in my mind,

And I can’t let go of yesterday.

Moving on seems so far away,

Thinking only of tomorrow,

Don’t look back as some may say.

I think of you when I wake,

I think of you when I sleep at night,

I think of you when I close my eyes,

I think of you when I open them wide.

I think of you when I see the dawn,

I think of you when the sun goes down,

I think of you when I hear a song,

I think of you when it all goes silent.

Cause I miss you,

I think of you.

I remember all the good times,

The fun and all the laughter,

When time was just a passing thing.

Now I close my eyes and pray,

That I’ll see you again some day,

And I’ll tell you that I love you one more time.

Things were so much happier then,

When I had you in my life,

What to do now I don’t know.

Now I’ve been to hell and back,

What more can I do?

Nothing can get you off my mind.

Before It Gets Too Late

And she gets home and he’s always the same,

So drunk he can hardly say her name,

She tries her best just to see it through,

But she’s never heard the words, I love you.

He’ll sit there till he’s had enough,

If she tries to stop him he’ll get tough,

The only way she can get away,

Is pretending she’s not there.

She loves to dance,

She loves to sway,

There’s nothing like the feeling, of her only get away.

While the music moves her body,

And her heart flies to the skies,

You can see the tears falling,

Like raindrops from her eyes.

Cause she’ll never have this moment,

While she’s living in this state,

Fly away and follow your dreams,

Before it gets too late.

Now he turns away the food she makes,

She is told she always makes mistakes

So he throws the plate against the wall,

And he screams at her as she starts to bawl.

If she argues then he’ll strike her face,

Who could ever harm such a pretty face,

She’ll get out of here in her dreams,

Then it’s never as bad as it seems.

Then one day it’s all too much for her,

And she runs away alone,

Nothings ever quite as scary,

As feeling all alone.

Just listen for the rhythm,

Feel it fill up your soul,

Your future is yours,

Through the rock and the roll.

Goodbye And Thanks For My Blue Eyes

Before I start I need you to understand

That I’ve done all this and I knew just what would happen

I know its tough now but the pain will go away

And I’m begging you to not let it hurt for too long.

I know what I am doing

And I know what I have done

When life it became helpless

And the world lost all it’s fun.

I have one last thing to say to you

From a heart that cared so much for you

Cause my world it always with with you

All I say goodbye to you.

Goodbyes and thanks for my blue eyes,

Brighter than the stars on midnight skies.

They were thing eyes I took from you

And the depth of me it shone right through

And I’m sorry that it’s come to this

Goodbye, and thanks for my eyes of blue.
