On the Ebbs and Flows of the tide

There will be ebbs and flows of the tide
But Still Waters running here
Not the Tempest of yesterday
Rather a gurgling stream that’s running clear
We’ve come through stormy oceans
We’ve been tossed around by waves
We’ve sailed the seas of heartbreak
With Lost souls not being saved
We’ve been on crests of waves so high
that they seemed to climb forever
Only [...]

From The Years of Winter to the Years of Summer

When you’ve nothing left to say
when you’ve said all that’s needed said
when you’ve put it all away
when you’ve laid it all to bed
Then It’s time for moving on
and do so without fear
Bright Horizons,Brand New Dawns
Here come the Happy Years
Two Decades of Self Doubt
When you struggled through the mire
Just trying to work things out
Hopes and Dreams [...]

Looking Backwards to Look Forwards

I was thinking about Yesterday
and the people we’ve become
It all seems so far away
From the place where we came from
My mind travels along that road
Slipping through the years
Some scenes play in my mind
Some of laughter,Some of tears
Faces that I recall,
and places I have been
Lovers Come and Gone
With a Myriad of Dreams
Then I come back In [...]

Loch Dunsheilagaig

I’m camping by the lochside
Beside the loch of snails
this is the place where they made their home
And that’s it’s Gaelic name
I’m camping by the lochside
In the middle of July
The night is clear
and the stars are bright
carpeting the sky
The moon lies low beside me
I could nearly walk across
the loch is like a mirror
I smell the fragrance [...]

Remember You,Remember Me?

I’ll remember you,when the sun is shining
I’ll remember you,when the moon is in the sky
I’ll remember you,when the seagulls they are flying
I’ll remember you,when I whisper words goodnight
When I’m walking through the places I remember
By the river of the Tay,along the banks upon the Clyde
When the dawn breaks through to day
And the dusk announces night
Remember [...]

Her Moses Heart

She could not hold on to her heart
No matter how she tried
She could not hold on to her heart
For it would not be pacified
So she gave her heart away
On the river of her tears
to the ocean of the stars
for a thousand years
She could not hold on to her heart
When she went to sleep [...]

seasons such as this

Apple trees and honey bees
The bleating of the lambs
Summer breeze and lazy days
pieces made with strawberry jam
The mountain track,the purple heather
The loch by moonlight bright
The warmth of loving kindness
a dinner by candle light
The wild wood and the clover
the rock beside the pool
otters playing over
cavorting like young fools
The golden leaves of autumn
the smile that plays [...]

Going Back In Time

I’m going back in time
I’m going back in time with Dr Who
I’m going back in time
To the time when I was young
To the things I used to do.
Catch the pigeon,catch the pigeon
Wacky races,Captain Pugwash and his Pirate crew
Jaimie and his magic torch,Scooby Doo
Jackanory,tell a story
Fantastic four and Animal Zoo
I’m going back in time etc
Sherbet dips,gobstopppers,black [...]

Distant Dreams

Such were the nights
you and i ,watching dancers in the firelight
Lazy days,making hay amongst the hay
hazy dreams about things that have never been
so long ago,old memories of distant scenes
its so far away today,
so far away today
it all seems an illusion of my mind
its so far away today
dreams of yesterday
those dreams you and i could never [...]

Stormy weather,Icy stares

Rainy old day,with clouds hanging low
Freezing cold wind,bearing ice with the snow
Chilly old breeze,stripping me to the bone
Miles from the the heat of the hearth in my home
Heavy dark night,so lost and alone
In a world full of bleakness,that I cannot condone
The stars in the heavens are hid from my sight
With a [...]
