From Your Valentine (14th February 2016)

A letter sent from a prison cell
Where even hope darkness quells
Such a bright, divine light, this love
As swift and sweet as any dove
Emperors, dictators and warlords fall
While Love, that universal call
Burns on, despite brutality and fear
And we remember every year
Not the hatred
Nor the pain
Not the tyrant
But the name
Signed and sealed, the heart's final line
With love, from your Valentine



The Way

A torch held
Beacon in the night
A promise kept
Shine your searchlight
And map this heart
A course set
Compass stone
You think you want to fly
The way of the angels

Reaching down to you
While you burn a message
With your smoky eyes
Guiding light
Compass set
Under midsummer skies
Carved in stone
Words said
Long ago
Like a beacon in the night
I know

The way of the angels

Return

I've listened to your song too many times
Worn a groove in my heart
Where your needles have stung
How do I start
To move on

One day we'll return
One day we'll all learn
To get along
But for now
How do I start
To move on

Road seems to never end
Did I take a wrong turn my friend
Left too much far behind
Returning home isn't on my mind
But then one day we'll return
One day we'll all learn
To get along

And I hear you are becalmed
On an ocean of storms
The labyrinth amazement won
Over the reason to run
From it all
Can we ever return
Can we learn to get along

I've listened to your song too many times
Worn a groove in my heart
Where your needles have stung
How do I start
To move on

One day we'll return
One day we'll all learn
To get along
But for now
How do I start
To move on



Summer Roads

Whispering your secrets to me
As though I can turn the clock
To a new time
Where your hands have worn
The surface smooth
To a blank page

Summer roads
Wind down to the sea
Summer roads
Set us free

All I can do
Is make you see
Summer roads

Find a pebble on the beach
Worn smooth by oceans of time
Grains of sand running
And remember what you ask
When you whisper
For me to change it all in an instant
As though I can delve into the universe
And peel away the geometry
Holding you here
Holding out for a
Blank page

Summer roads
Wind down to the sea
Summer roads
Set us free

All I can do
Is make you see
Summer roads
