Bad things happened
When the rainbow tore

I need to be with you again
There's not much good in being apart
No prize for being in pain
Facing the truth in that for the first time
A whole part of who I am
Can't live or move or be
So easily

Ran away
Thought it right
To do so
Now feels too late, too dark, too far
Facing the truth in that for the first time
A whole part of who I am
Can't live or move or be
So easily


19th April 1999

I hung those dreams upon a star
See them dangle
Far away across the sky
Far away from you and I
Guess the stuff that they were made of
Purpose built and meant to be
Lessons in reality
His speciality
There is nothing to be done

Has it been worth it?
So far hard to tell
Look back later and be glad?
Right now it still feels wrong and sad
But there is nothing to be done
Just keep on moving on and on
On and on across the sky
Far away from you and I

Will there be mercy?
Will there be mercy?
You said you'd see me later
You said you'd see me later
You said you'd see me later
You need faith enough for two
I'm needing, I'm depending on you

I hung those dreams upon a star
See them dangle
Far away across the sky
And there is nothing to be done
Just keep on moving on and on

draw pictures with words
sing with a paintbrush
make yourself heard
with the voice of a songthrush


7th March 1999

in a garden of music
butterflies dance
bees do business
ants challenge chance
flowers fulfil
evergreens laze
grass keeps on growing
dandelions graze

in a garden of music
be still and remember
when sun shone with raindrops
entwining together
rainbows were passing
away with the weather
then night time descended
as if forever

in a garden of music
waterfalls prance
light plays with shade
children entrance
picnics are plenty
families meet
life re-emerges
from the dust at our feet

in a garden of music
thoughts are the seeds
that fly through the wind
from our souls to the streets
rooting in mind
developing form
from all that they find
pulling us on

in a garden of music
I listen for you
heartbeat the rythym
birdsong a clue
existence is better
because you were there
life grows and moves on
who knows or cares where

7th March 1999

and then you came along
you said
came along
blew chains of cobwebs through your head
stone walls fell and demons fled
and then you came along
you said
came along

sing the song
with music
dance us on and on
sing the song with music
dance us on and on

and then you came along
you said
came along
blew specks of stardust in your eyes
lit up dark places with surprise
and then you came along you said
came along

sing the song
sing the song
sing the song
with music
dance us on and on
