Talking Telephone Numbers

the winds of love blow a tempermental storm

I feel the freeze , where I used to feel so warm

I remember all the times that for you have all gone

since our love was born

I sit here thinking in the middle of the night

waiting for the words to flow , I’ve got to say it right

through my clouded mind let it shine sunlight

enlighten the pages for you to find

ch;

you’d be talking telephone numbers

just to impress your friends

while good ol me spends his time alone

with all the hours god sends

for who am I , to deny , your place upon high

I’m leaving in the morning

 this is goodbye

 

we really had something , or so I thought

something that your career could not have bought

you need to chase what it is you’ ve sought

perhaps your just being kind

so its time I feel for me to leave

i need some space , where I can grow and breathe

it’s hard for me to take , but now I believe

this way I keep my pride

ch;

I’m on my way now , I can’t stay around here

run from your life , the cost of loving you i fear

I’m now so sure I couldn’t stand you near

when you want to be elsewhere

so it’s with regret , I leave today

theres nothing left now i have to say

so I bid to you a fond farewell

and on the step I leave a tear

ch;

……… this could be goodbye…

lyrics

You Know I’ve Never Known

I’ve never known what I’m looking for

I’ve never known , I’m moving on

alarm goes off late

I’m late for a date

all plans to be burnt

you’d thought I’d have learnt

ice cold shower

milk turned sour

not going my way

its one of those days

car won’t start

scramble in the dark

so bloody tired

I’m gonna be fired

was it something i said

on the wrong side of bed

bills due today

more work less pay

run i must

missed the bus

show me the way

its like a needle in the hay

I’m sitting on the fence

with no intent

lifes a farce

you can stick up your….

metaphorically speaking ofcourse

you say , theres no way

I don’t know what the devil don’t want me to

no no , you know i never know

ch;

I’m watching life slowly slipping through my hands

I’m counting time , as if you understand

I know the clock is running , disappearing sand

times moving on……

lyrics

I Wanted More

pain’s not expressed by the volume of tears

i’m not obliged to show you my fears

here i am , youve drawn the line

whats yours is yours , and mine is mine

here you are , all seemed fine

i ask of your heart , i ask of your time

a ray of hope , nothing else matters

nothing else broke , nothing else shatters

the peace you bring …..to me

a ray of hope , nothing else stutters

nothing else broke , nothing else utters

the words you sing …to me

shouldnt that be me , kicking up my heels

knowing that shes back , knowing how she feels

i never give up hope , at the full moon starting

living with your demons , knowing that its hurting

destroying my love, but hanging on

not banging on , trying to smile again

shuffled into slavery , in my body , in my heart

discover what was lost , discover what the cost

and accept that its all over…rpt

a ray of hope , nothing else matters

nothing else broke , nothing else shatters

the peace you bring…to me

a ray of hope , nothing else stutters

nothing elsebroke , nothing else utters

the words you sing …to me

i spend all my time listening to words you never say

hoping for something that never comes my way…from you

Hold On

HOLD ON

it wasnt meant to sound quite that way

words left my mouth before my brain engaged

should have looked before i leapt ….impetuosity

must be some kind of misunderstanding

you clearly didnt hear what i had to say

you didnt stop to listen before you flew into a rage

have you finished now with your animosity?

why so high a moral standing?

walk, dont walk that walk

talk, dont talk that talk

stay, dont be that way

wont you stay…today

love cracks like china when it falls and hits the ground

all the missing pieces can never quite be found

despite the desparate searching and sensitivity

pain and tears surround me

come back to bed with me, turn and change your stance

patience aint my strong point, come dance another dance

i didnt mean to hurt you, i only meant to please

i wont be so demanding

wont you give me one more chance before you walk out that door

wont you give me one more chance before you kick me to the floor

wont you give me one more chance, if i could you any more

walk, dont walk that walk

talk, dont talk that walk

stay, dont be that way

wont you stay today
