Your Last Drive

Here by the moorway you returned,
And saw the borough lights ahead
That lit your face - all undiscerned
To be in a week the face of the dead,
And you told of the charm of that haloed view
That never again would beam on you.

And on your left you passed the spot
Where eight days later you were to lie,
And be spoken of as one who was not;
Beholding it with a cursory eye
As alien from you, though under its tree
You soon would halt everlastingly.

I drove not with you…. Yet had I sat
At your side that eve I should not have seen
That the countenance I was glancing at
Had a last-time look in the flickering sheen,
Nor have read the writing upon your face,
'I go hence soon to my resting-place;

'You may miss me then. But I shall not know
How many times you visit me there,
Or what your thoughts are, or if you go
There never at all. And I shall not care.
Should you censure me I shall take no heed
And even your praises I shall not need.'

True: never you'll know. And you will not mind.
But shall I then slight you because of such?
Dear ghost, in the past did you ever find
Me one whom consequence influenced much?
Yet the fact indeed remains the same,
You are past love, praise, indifference, blame.

Alien

Are you an alien
Are you from this earth
Would you care to tell me
Details of birth
Did you just emerge from thin air
Can you even tell me
Are you really there
Jet age dreams
From days gone by
The circle in te forest
Where they dnced beneath the sky
...beneath the sky...
Beneath the sky
Do you know my thoughts
Can you read my mind
Would you dare to tell me
What it is you find
Come on now tell me what you find
What lays hidden in my mind
I can see through you
I can hear you too
I can feel you touch my mind
Did they paint your face
In ancient times
Were they talking bout you
In celtic rhymes
Can I just reach out
Pull back the shroud
Would you let me hold you
Would it be allowed
Are you the legend
Did they call you seer
Would you let me hold you
Would ou disappear...
Alien...

Past memory

How long person can live with past memory
To feel sad whole day and night with so much sorry
Adding tension, causing concern and worry
This is something one must avoid to carry

I come across many people with strong attachment
They cry whole day and pass pessimistic statements
It is nothing but creation of confused mind
No one can really go forward for solution to find

Smile is such thing and can be had for no cost
It is missing in most of the cases with real face lost
They find end of world with slight setback
Relation is soared with development of cracks

The face bears great sense of satisfaction
The smile is very good parameter for such action
It is reflected as very good sign
One must accept the fate and silently resign

The is loosing its flavor when detached from plant
No one can restore its charm the way it is wanted
Once broken from its link with no more hope
Everything goes wrong and it flops

The face remains swollen and complete barren
This does not take place or happen all of sudden
It has its roots from the emancipation of mistrust
Then there is left little scope for any kind of trust

Only true friends may have little time to listen to your woes
The sad tale may go unheeded or unheard even if it flows
It looses its relevance if you are not sure of what is in mind?
No one may give credence to your tale even if you are so kind

You must make choice for past and present
You can’t remain attached to past and remain physically absent
That state is not acceptable in its any form
You need complete change with attitudinal reform

When You Are Old

When you are old, and I am passed away –
Passed, and your face, your golden face is gray –
I think, what’er the end, this dream of mine,
Comforting you, a friendly star will shine
Down the dim slope where you still stumble and stray.
So may it be: that so dead yesterday,
Not sad-eyed ghost but generous and gay,
May serve your memories like almighty wine,
When you are old!

Dear Heart, it shall be so. Under the sway
Of death the past’s enormous disarray
Lies hushed and dark. Yet though there come no sign,
Live on well pleased: immortal and divine
Love shall still tend you, as God’s angels may,
When you are old.

Judy

To my wife Judy
I really love you truly
remember the good old days,
and the bad, when we almost went our ways

your such a good mother and wife
even though, we together, have a lot of strife
I love your sweet smile dear
the thought of losing you, brings a tear

Remember when we walked down grand
for us together, hand in hand
when we went to watch them play ball
days when the team was riding tall

Remember our first kiss
it brought my heart much bliss
Judy dear the years, have gone fast
I love you so much, like in the past

Judy together we've seen good times and bad
we've seen our son, grow into a fine lad
our daughter I know acts like me,
I do wish she was more like you, don't you see

Judy you have so much love,
in you, your sweet as a dove
you put up with so much
right now your face I want to touch

I told you I would write a poem about you
it may not be good, but it'll do
Judy this is how I feel with out you
when away from you, I feel very blue

I miss you very much
love you more, when were not in touch
time has not passed us by
of the past I need to let it die

Judy I'm happy with you my dear
the thought of losing you brings fear
without you, I'm nothing at all,
with you, in time, I will stand very tall.

An Alien... An Excuse

An alien wants to take me away
From this earth of too many aliens!

An alien
With no framed face nor a smiling face.
An alien
Who is all love and care for me.
May I go with him?

Stephen Hopkins gives his warning,
'Don`t play with the aliens'.
In fact all the aliens here have been just playing with me!
He knows not.
May I go with my one?

I shall go one day freeing myself
From all these frames of faces and their smiles.
I shall live in the mist of the Titan of Saturn
As no alien to my host.

The Knots That Bind

I've loved as I will never love again,
A precious lovely gift, my life with you.
Although I know I search for you in vain,
I'll look back to a love that was so true.

If I could only hold your hand once more,
And speak with words that say how much I care,
Then my lonely heart would really start to soar,
And I would find a sweetness, Oh, so rare.

I feel your presence still, you are so near,
And if I cry a tear, then that's okay,
For when with me, you were so very dear,
A piercing pain struck deep, on your leaving day.

Cherished are the thoughts I have within,
No separation can cut the knots that bind,
You were the greatest, how can I begin,
There's no communication. I'm left behind.

Lord, give me courage to face the way ahead,
To raise my face and look towards the sun,
And keep on smiling, thinking not of dread,
But eternal days with you, when my life is done.

My Search for The Perfect Host

When the sun comes up I’m going to a place
that I’ve never visited before.
I’m a little apprehensive about the return trip
because I enter through a one way door.

To my knowledge no one has been there
and come back to let me know.
It is accepted that one doesn’t return
after they have left to go.

Despite that fact, I need to visit a man
who died many years ago.
I don’t expect to see him looking well
he’ll be more of a spiritual glow.

He’s the only one who can give me answers
to the questions that are troubling me
about this man I met about a week ago
who looked and spoke the same as he.

Now I’m not one to believe in reincarnation,
it seems too far fetched to me,
so I have to find out the truth about this guy
who behaved so naive and innocently.

I liked this guy, but he seemed just like an echo
of the man who was once my host.
The whole situation brings me to question my ethics
on his suitability to fill the soon to be vacant post.

However I do have a problem about the visit,
with regret I must leave my current host.
That means the soul will be left decidedly dead,
and on his way to become a ghost.

Maybe I could accompany him on his journey,
just to keep him company, so to speak,
and maybe I could introduce him to past hosts,
this is going to be a hell of a busy week!

All Our Past Times

By eric clapton and rick danko
I dont want to be the one to say Im sorry.
I dont want to be the one to take the blame.
I dont want to be the one to throw it over.
I dont want to be the one to feel ashamed.
I dont want to be the one who thinks of nothing.
I dont want to be the one to tell you what you have seen.
After all this time, well I thought that you were mine.
I just want to be the one who would share this dream.
All our past times should be forgotten.
All our past times should be erased.
I dont care how much it costs;
cause I dont count the loss
As long as I can see your face again.
You dont have to tell me when youre leaving,
If its half past one, if its maybe four.
It makes no difference where you think youre going,
But please remember not to slam the door.
Chorus
Yes, I dont care how much it costs;
You know I dont count the loss
As long as I can see your face again.

Face To Face

Key:-
A - anita

A: face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
R: leaves from the tree, fall down on the floor
Life comes and goes, you cant ignore
Touch your soul when you finally realize
Youve heard it all before all the lies
Youre on a mission, no time for wishing
It can be magic, like a magician
Face to face and eye to eye
This is your last and final try
A: face to face and eye to eye
We look the world right in the eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Youve one last chance and baby, so will i
R: will we all succeed or is it over soon?
Nobody around just stars and the moon
A race against the clock, is there some time?
Just wait for the light, wait for the sign
You made the same mistakes that you made in the past
Didnt help you out, didnt make you last
Face to face and eye to eye
This was your last and final try
A: face to face and eye to eye
We look the world right in the eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Youve one last chance and baby, so have i

Requiem To Broken Dreams (love thrown away)

I sit now and write you this letter
For I feel I deserved better
Is it that you couldn’t face the day
Is it why you throw my love away

Our life had just begun
We were having so much fun
Could it be you couldn’t face the day
So you just throw our love away

Your best interest I had
Never I meant to make you sad
So you couldn’t face the day
So you throw our love away

I never meant to hurt you
I told you I would never desert you
I told you I would not lie
All I ask is that you give my love a try

You were my precious buttercup
But you said red flags went up
Now this is quit the fact
On you I never turned my back

Are you afraid to face the day
Is it why you throw my love away
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
All I did was sing you a love song

Again alone and afraid of the dark
Broken dreams has now made its mark
Lonely corridors trod I ones more
Opportunities passed throw now a closed door

Curator now of broken hearts
Guardian of hopes lacking smarts
True lies sought for broken alibis
Pondered efforts the blind child cries

Weep no more my willow tree
Reckless decision made for you and me
For you all was not as it seemed
So goodbye to you the summer I had dreamed

Winter approaches with hurricanes thrust
Season gone without acquiring trust
Autumn looms with a chilling touch
Romance fades questioned too much

Lessons sought to lessons learned
Hands placed in fire will surely get burned
Is that why you couldn’t face the day
Is that why you throw my love away

Shattered promises placed all in the same basket
Unstable ground shook laid now hopes in a casket
For now I’m left to face the day
For you throw my love away

Sit now and try to read
Baron soil love planted I the seed
Hollowed hearts now will bleed
Solvent soul no more I will feed
Words spoken now I heed
Blind leading the blind I will not lead
Sacrificed the day for all good deeds
lucid nights on waited needs

Could it be that I wasted the day
Did I throw my love away
A rift in time or a dimple
For now it all seems so simple

Face In The Sun

its ok to be lonely
its ok, still waiting for
well its ok to feel you're the only
like a loaded gun just bound to explode
just like the story goes
if you been raised
to believe in your soul
i'm sure you'll find your face
face in the sun
face in the sun
face in the sun
well its ok to be loved with
the way the sun shines above your face
well its ok if you've had enough of this
a lack of light been around for days
inside thinking of sunsets
leaving behind
i hope i find my face
face in the sun
face in the sun
face in the sun
i, i, i, i, i, i
i, i, i, i, i, i
i, i, i, i, i, i

Shangri-la

Written by kim wilde
Hidden away - its the end of a day
And youre not really thinking at all
Theres that same stupid paper on the wall
And a stain where the damps crawling
Chorus:
Hes still looking for his shangri-la
But he wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit him in the face
If it hit him in the face
Day turns to daze
And indifference plays
While a sun goes on beating in the sky
And a small child falls over as she crys
Somewhere someone is calling her
Chorus
Shes still looking for her shangri-la
But she wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit her in the face
If it hit her in the face
Spoken : I take a look behind me
And the sun shines brighter there
And the people are much more beautiful
In a place without a care
And Im wondering if therell ever be room for me
In shangri-la
Wondering now - do you love me - and now
As I burn with a dangerous desire
Is our time up and on to the next fire
Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire
Do you think we will ever learn
Chorus
As we keep looking our shangri-la...
Our shangri-la
But we wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit us in the face
If it hit us in the face

Separate Lives

Eric woolfson - lead vocal
Its been a long road
Weve walked the last mile
We reach the same conclusion
And we stop for a while
Together we know
The way we must go
Were leaving an illusion
Thats for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
Cause we dont see eye to eye
And we cant stand face to face
We live our separate lives
While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place
We share the same thoughts
We read the same lines
We meet on sad occasions
And in happier times
A spoken goodbye
And both of us try
To walk away in silence
Thats for us to share,
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
Cause we dont see eye to eye
And we cant stand face to face
We live our separate lives
While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place
And always goodbye
But heaven knows why
I cant erase the memory
Thats for us to share
Only for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
Cause we dont see eye to eye
And we cant stand face to face
We live our separate lives
While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place

Dead Man's HIll (acoustic Duo)

we were down at dead man's hill
smoking vines like cigarettes
looking through the trashy mags
trying to feel what's coming next
you told me of crashing cars
older brothers and late night bars
i told you what i feel most
and you kept it like a ghost forever
don't you write it down
remember this in your head
don't take a picture
remember this in your heart
don't leave a message
talk to me face to face
talk to me face to face
lying on the bright blue jumping mat
dinner bell is ringing
barking dogs and model planes
and the sound of passing trains
we watch for bonfires in the sky
on the beach in july
spin the bottle steal the kiss
postcards to the one i miss forever
the one i miss forever
don't you write it down
remember this in your head
don't take a picture
remember this in your heart
i'll leave a message
when everything comes apart
(talk to me face to face)
[talk to me face to face]
(everything comes apart)
i'll leave a message
when everything comes apart
i remember cats on fire
gasoline a burning spiral
standing underneath the night
fighting back with all my might
empty cans and charred remains
find them in the heat of day
on the top of dead man's hill
this is what i know of shame forever

Too Slow To Ride

from the moment i arrived until the day that i
died i was selfish and slow too slow to ride by
your side i was so afraid that i began to fade now
another bright has turned to gray and someone
else's light will take my place and though i'm
getting used to the aftertaste you know i miss
your eyes i miss your face and when the sun went
dead and the moon was up ahead i finally
figured out what i should have said to you then
and no one is to blame but we'll never be the
same there's no use in trying i can't be what i
was

What Will You Say

Its been such a long time
And I was just a child then
What will you say
When you see my face?
Time feels like its flown away
The days just pass and fade away
What will you say
When they take my place?
Its funny now
I just dont feel like a man
What will you say
When you see my face?
My face...
Mother dear, the worlds gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Do you even care?
What will you say
When they take my place?
My heart cant take this anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
When you see my,
See my face...
I can feel your time crawling
To a slow end
I can feel my time crawling
To a slow end...
Mother dear, the worlds gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Did you even care?
What will you say
When you take my place?
Well its so funny now
I just dont feel like Im a man

These Are The Days

Ah ah
Heres a song
About living in the past
If it was so good then
How come it didnt last?
If it helps you
Ill put it in a phrase
Those were the times
But these are the days
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days
The times youre smiling back on
Had that great sitcom
It hardly compensated
For the terror of the bomb
Let me help
cause youre looking through a haze
Those were the times
These are the days
These are the days
Hey hey hey
These are the days
Can you hear me now?
These are the days
Look around look around look around
These are the days
These are the days
Hey hey live today
These are the days
Its time to put the past away
These are the days
The more you do the more you say
These are the days
The more I need to get away
Youre longing for a time
There never was
Now tell me the truth
Youre looking for the reason
Its because
Youre fighting for youth
But if I have to listen any more
To fantasy talk
Or any other bug you have
Im leaving
Now Im not saying
Everything is really great
Hey hey hey
After sixteen years
Of legalised class hate
Why waste time
Looking back for things to praise?
Those were the times huh
But these are the days
These are the days
Looking back in history
These are the days
Time to get contempory
These are the days
The past is not the place to be

Just Passing Time

Passing time,
Time passes.
And longing for times past.
With no pastime,
I think of past times.
Times of joy.
Sorrowful times.
Layered.
Like an alluvial plain,
I am inundated, flooded.
As the past floods in
Passing by the inner eye
I time travel.
Bad thoughts by passed
Passed all thought
They pass away.
Pass into the past
To lie again quiescent
A timely demise
For times past.

Face To Face

(david malloy, gary burr)
Oh you dont have blue eyes.
I expected blue eyes.
Thats how I pictured you would be.
And you dont have long hair.
I thought youd have long hair.
So this is all a shock to me.
I didnt know if you would meet me.
Or believe me. when I said that I was fooled.
I really thought that I would hate you.
I know I meant to.
Thered only be one of us left when were through.
Chorus
Now that were face to face.
And I put myself in your place.
I see the truth. I see whos
Really to blame.
And I wont play his game. or try to get even.
Hell know hes lost watching us leaving.
I blamed you, but I see my mistakes. now that were face to face.
I believe in true love something to be sure of.
Isnt that what we deserve.
Theres no blame here, we both end up the
Same here. a little wiser than we were.
There was a time this would have killed me. and it may still be.
Hard to look you in the eye.
And now that all the spells are broken.
The truths been spoken.
My heart has the strength to tell him goodbye.
