Im Free at Last
Please don't grive for me for now I am free.
I am only following the path god had laid for me.
I took his hand as I heard him call.
I turned with one last glance.
I turned my back on it all and left it all behind.
I could not stay another day.
To laugh run or play.
I couldnt solve my pain.
There was nothing I could do to change past events.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I've found my place at the close of day.
If my passing leaves a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
For the crap I left behind I will not miss.
Prehaps my time seemed to short.
Dont lengthen it now with undue griefe.
God wants me Now and is about to set me free.
Be not burdened In times of sorrow.
I wish you all love.
I wish you all well.

I'm free
Don't grieve for me
for now I am free
I'm following the path
God has laid for me
I took his hand
when I heard him call
I turned my back
and left it all
I could not stay
yet another day
to laugh, to love
to work or play
tasks left undone
must stay that way
I found that place
at the close of day
If my parting has left a void
then fill it with remembered joy
a friendship shared
a laugh, a kiss
ah yes, these things
I too will miss
Be not burdened
with times filled with sorrow
my life's been full
I savored so much
good times, good friends
a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time
seemed but all too brief
don't lengthened it now
with undo grief
lift up your heart
and share with me
know that we are never apart
God wanted me now
he set me free

You Dont Have To Say You Love Me
(pino donaggio / vito pallavicini / english lyrics by vicki wickham / simon napier-bell)
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasnt me who changed but you
And now youve gone away
Dont you see
That now youve gone
And Im left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I cant help but love you
But believe me
Ill never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All thats left is loneliness
Theres nothing left to feel
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

Why
You said you loved me then you left
Where did you go did you forget
I searched high an low
Which direction did you go
You left a void in my heart which i can not fill
Its been months and i miss you still
Please come back and fill my heart
Replenish it with the love we had at the start
My heart grows weaker every day
Waiting for your love to return my way
You left in february
That day is etched in my memory
You called me after a while
By then it was to late someone else had caught your smile
You told me you loved me and wanted to be free
Before it was us now its just me
Do you love the freedom do you love being free
Or is it you just dont love me
Left Hand
It was typical of you
To give it to me plain
The sign on your door
Said make your mind up or go away
It was difficult for me
To figure you out
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is nothing when I present
It was typical of you
To feather your nest
Try to explain
Me and my big mouth were laid to rest
There's nowhere to go
But I'm not hanging around
Left hand
Pick me up and then you put me down
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is one thing when I present
Left hand
Left hand
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing

Here I Am Again
When I turned away,
I...
Never thought I'd be back.
Or wished I had not left,
But...
When I turned away,
I...
Had excuses to be made.
Thinking away I would stay.
And yet,
Here I am again.
For reasons not lamented.
Here I am again.
With opened eyes.
And,
Here I am again...
Seeing,
For the first time...
With a change of mind.
Patience taught me how to find.
When I turned away,
I...
Never thought I'd be back.
Or wished I had not left,
But...
When I turned away,
I...
Had excuses to be made.
Thinking away I would stay.
Forever!
But,
Here I am again.
For reasons not lamented.
Here I am again.
With opened eyes.
And,
Here I am again...
Seeing,
For the first time...
With a change of mind.
And...
Hoping I will find you,
Forgiving.
And willing,
To free me...
Of your doubts!

Livin With A Heartache
You left me alone with nothin but a heartache
Dont leave me alone livin with a heartache
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay
Livin with a heartache
Livin with a heartache
Ive loved you for so long
Its hard to believe that youve really gone
Ill try to change to what I should be
Im no good alone you know-a everyone sees
That you left me alone with nothin but a heartache
(nothin but a heartache)
Dont leave me alone livin with a heartache
(with a heartache)
After all this time I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay
Livin with a heartache
Livin with a heartache
Please come back and stay with me
Give our love a chance and maybe youll see
My love is true like a heart of gold
I promise you a love you can hold
Still you left me alone with nothin but a heartache
(with nothin but a heartache)
But dont leave me alone livin with aheartache
(with a heartache)
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay
Im livin with a heartache
Livin with a heartache
We are strangers since weve been apart
And I cant live inside this broken heart
So now I say whats on my mind
Its up to you are we wasting time
You left me alone with nothin but a heartache
(with nothin but a heartache)
Now dont leave me alone livin with aheartache
(with a heartache)
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay
Livin with a heartache
Livin with a heartache
Dont leave me livin with a heartache

Death Poem
My life on earth was very good,
So don't grieve for me with tears.
Just remember the love we once had,
And bury sorrow without pain and fears.
Miss me a little-but not too long,
Hold no rites in a gloom-filled room.
The sun has set for me by God's plan,
And now I travel the long road home.
This sublime journey we all must take,
And each of us must take it alone.
Jesus has provided a place for me,
And with Him I will walk in peace.
Though my time with you was short,
Now there's only love that'll never cease.
On the road to sweet eternal rest,
A path my God has laid for me,
To perfect peace given only by the Best,
My soul goes on to taste and see.
My heart prays that I ace the test,
So as to claim the crown of the free.
Now if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it in with remembered pleasures.
But do not stand at my grave and weep,
For I go to a land of endless treasures.
Think of me now as the vernal rain,
See me in the stars that no one measures.
My soul flutters in the sun on ripened grain,
And whispers God's praise in the wind.
I've gone where love and joy is forever new,
And where the gentlest lights never end.

You Dont Have To Say You Love Me
(words & music by wickham - napier - bell - donaggio - pallavicini)
When I said, I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasnt me who changed, but you
And know youve gone away
Dont you know that now youre gone
And Im left her on my own
Then I have to follow you
And beg you to come home
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I cant help I love you
But believe me, Ill never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory

All thats left is loneliness
Theres nothing left to feel

I turned my back on the world.
When your new day starts without me.
Let your eyes no tears to fall.
It's the choosen way that is all.
The angel came to get me.
And took her hand to leave this world.
As I turned to walk away a tear left my eye.
When I knew my loved ones would stay behind.
It was then that I realised they'd come with me in my heart.
Just as I would stay with them in theirs.
All my life I had pain.
In my eyes it was forever stained.
So I choose to turn my back on the world.
And leave with the angel sent for me.
If there was another way for me to stay,
Belive me I would have stayed.
And my life would not have faded away.
Dont worry about me now,
Dont you cry no tears.
I'm in heaven above.
And we are not far apart.
I'll allways be in your heart.
I had to go when I heard god call.
It was my time to go.

Time
Written by: james henman
When we so much younger girl
I use to laugh and call you names
But now I found myself much older
I cant find no one else to blame
I remember times I tried to lead you
But you never come my way
And when I promised you tomorrow
You were lost for things to say
A time has really turned around
Time has let me down
Time has really turned around
Time has let me down
Takin pictures from my window
I thought Id take a few of you
Time has skipped across my shoulder
And now I have nothin left I can do
Time has let me down
Time has really turned around
Time has let me down
Time has really turned around

I Wish I Had My Home
Home
Brandon
Home
What is a home?
Where is home?
When can I go home?
Home is a place where you can feel safe
Home is a place where you can break down in the free
Home is the place where you feel joy happiness and whole
Home is a place where you lay your heart in
I have laid my heart in three different places
(What) My first home is a place everywhere
All I need is a basket and a ball
All I did was give a ball love and I got something better in return
A ball gave me hope, understanding and appreciation for true love
I have never put more hours into one thing than it
It was always my top priority and I was it’s top priority
Better than any girlfriend and any friend
Home
Brandon
Home
What is a home?
Where is home?
When can I go home?
Home is a place where you can feel safe
Home is a place where you can break down in the free
Home is the place where you feel joy happiness and whole
Home is a place where you lay your heart in
I have laid my heart in three different places
(What) My first home is a place everywhere
All I need is a basket and a ball
All I did was give a ball love and I got something better in return
A ball gave me hope, understanding and appreciation for true love
I have never put more hours into one thing than it
It was always my top priority and I was it’s top priority
Better than any girlfriend and any friend
It only treated me great when I treated it great
I could never leave my hear with it because it put it’s heart in mine
I wish I had my home
(Where) My home is a place where dreams are rested and free and comfort
I feel safe, I feel that I can get some sleep and I feel that Im at home
When my body needs a rest it has hammocks for me
When I need a place to think and collaborate it always had a quite spot with a beautiful view for me
When I need a place to escape to, it welcomes me with open arms and I can stay as long as I like
I have made my imprint in the Cayman Islands and It has left its imprint in me and have left one part of my life in it and
I wish I could go back home.
(When) I miss her so much and I would do anything to see her again
I miss her humbleness, her laugh and her comfort when I need to break down
I miss her when I need her there or when there is a good moment
I miss my home because my home is in her
She is my home but it is a place where I cannot stay
Instead of me leaving my home, my home left me and I forgot something inside
I know she can take care of my home but I hope she takes care of my heart
If it has too I know it will bleed for her and it would become hers
All I want is to know when I can go and see my home where my heart lays

Dont Walk Away
Dont walk away
See I just cant find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so youll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray
Chorus 1:
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But its been so long now all I do is cry
Cant we find some love to take this away
cause the pain gets stronger every day
Chorus 2:
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
See now why
All my dreams been broken
I dont know where were going
Everything we said and all we done now
Dont let go, I dont wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams are broken
Dont know where were going
Everything begins to set us free
Cant you see, I dont wanna walk away
If you go, I wont forget you girl
Cant you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
Theres nothing left to do
Dont walk away

The World Has Turned & Left Me Here
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You left enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didnt
Do you believe what I sing now?

Stay And Drown
good god have i been dreaming?
this paralizing feeling
was i left alone? where have you gone?
are you somewhere else just sleeping?
with a way to wake you
ill never ask you
would you take my hand in the deepest end?
would you stay and drown in me?
take my hand in the deepest end,
my open eyes see everything
passing allthe days through a window pain
and as the sun would change, id stay the same
this paradise was nothing new
but the paradise gets tired of you
a single conversation stole my attention
would you take my hand
in the deepest end?
would you stay and drown in me
take my hand in the deepest end,
would ya stay and drown in me?
my open eyes see everything
and you see nothing
and dont forget it
take my hand in the deepest end
would ya stay and drown in me?
take my hand in the deepest end
would ya stay and drwn in me?
take my hand in the deepest end
would ya stay and drown in me?
would ya stay and drown in me?
stay and drown in me

Eldorado
Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
Ill sail away on a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream.
The painted ladies of the avalon play in the sun,
Take to the road, to the north there lies the chills of cold,
To the south there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.
And I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.
Say goodbye, the citys heroes sing, bird on the wing
Feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze,
All the cheating and the broken days.
So through it all I see theres nothing left for me.
So I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.
Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care.
Days never end, I know the voyages end will soon be here,
No eternal life is here for me.
And now I found the key to the eternal dream.
Then I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.
Then I will stay.

New Beginning
hand me down some photographs
spread across the floor
a broken record spins in circles
she can't listen anymore
she's turned around a thousand times
she set that bridge a fire
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left
so what is left for me
i called you on the phone again
just the other day
it sounds to me you found your place
and everything is great
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left
so what is left for me
i try
so hard to figure out
why
no explanation keeps me waiting
lets try
because i know you won't forget
i know
even if the story is over
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left for me
so what is left for me
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left
so what is left for me
what's left for me

Afterlife
Do you believe in the afterworld
Or the afterlife?
Do you agree there's a place for us
Beyond our life
Where the timeless call for life
Is lost and you will see
The forgotten dreams
That you once had become reality
They will be set free - another day
You cannot leave if you do not want to stay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Life's a dream that you will forget
In the endless space
And the scars you got on planet Earth
Will be erased
You were blind until your eyes have stopped to see
And your powers unfold by the moment
You hit eternity
You will be set free
But you'll never return
That's the price you have to pay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Now you're gone without a word
You didn't say goodbye
I miss you here where are you now
An angel in the sky?
Your visit here has been so short
You left to be set free
But I believe we'll meet again
And together we will stay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife
In the afterlife - in the afterlife

Friends As Lovers, Lovers As Friends
new york wasn't mine
was it me, or just my kind
spinning softly, talking cheap
theres no place left to be
but a road that just goes on
to everyone leaving town
friends as lovers
lovers as friends
shall we dance into the night
as the jukebox moans and pours out time
friends and lovers
lovers and friends
theres no place left to be
than wrapped around your eyes
and every passing town
or stay as lovers
or stay as friends
theres no prayers
for dashboard light
flagging goals
you're missing sides
'cause they say you are the one
and theres no place left to be
than where you stand right now
i know these leaving town
us as lovers
lovers as friends
to your face
to speak alone
to your back
among the proud
we're friends with lovers
lovers with friends
and theres no place left to be
that can keep me away from you
on every passing train
i see lovers
i see friends
darling boy
youre on my mind, she says
i feel your skin
as if its mine
this pain it sweet
too sweet to touch
and theres no place left to be
in the shadow of your lives
in everyone leaving town
friends as lovers
lovers as friends
and theres no place left to be
than where you are right now
beside us leaving town
i'm your lover
i'm your friend
