Winter Nights

These winter nights go on and on
So I keep myself awake
By singing round these itsy-bitsy songs
I live my days inside myself
Cos apart from you inside myself
I sometimes feel there’s no one else
But I’ll be in the sunshine with you
And all of these winter nights
Will have been worth sleeping through to see the day
When I rest my weary head on you chest
Cos your the best
Near or far
No matter where you are
I always feel your loving
I always feel your loving
Shout or whisper
Or say nothing at all
I always feel your loving
It comes ringing in my ears
I find it hard to communicate
All of these tripped up bots of modern thoughts
‘Less we Skype the day away
But these frustrations aren’t relevent
Cos the love that I hold for you
It’s all I need to see me through
And I’ll be in the sunshine with you
And all of these winter nights
Will have been worth sleeping through to see the day
When I rest my weary head on you chest
Cos your the best
Near or far
No matter where you are
I always feel your loving
I always feel your loving
Shout or whisper
Or say nothing at all
I always feel your loving
It comes ringing in my ears

Evergreen

It's clear we have to do something
To clear the chords from round our chests
Evergreen is not Forever
So we can only do our bests.
If in time our hearts are frozen
If in time we cease to feel
Let us go up on a mountain
Let us see the world for real.
The world is vast the world is countless
The world can never be complete
So if this world you wish to conquer
Simmer down, admit defeat.
Live it out in peace and solace
Live it out in ecstasy
But take no more than lets your heart feel
So those you touch can live it free.

Good Thing

Stop loving me despite yourself
'Cos don't you know that it's not good for the health
Of this living thing between you and me
Because you and me and we are three
Points that run along the same line:
You're not bringing me up,
You're just bringing us down
I just want to see you
Living for eternity cos that's all we've got.
I just want to see you
Living for eternity cos that's all we've got.
We've got a good thing going
So let's not let it go to waste. (x2)
You build your castles on the sand
And watch me swim among the waves
But why not join me in the blue
Then we can sit on mountain tops
The world is older than we know
But still it's born new every day
So maybe that just goes to show
That we can't let it get away
So maybe that just goes to show
That we can't let it get away
We've got a good thing going
So let's not let it go to waste. (x4)
To waste
