Still Under Your Spell

Guitarist is playing, our favourite tune
Ten years this summer, we heard it that June
We chat back and forth, then order our meal
Your smile still finds my Achilles heel
It’s not hard to tell - I’m still under your spell

Reminisce through mem’ries both funny and sad
Partners in night clubs, we never should’ve had
School plays ‘n Proms, got home late at night
They said he’s no good, still you held me tight
It’s not hard to tell - I’m still under your spell

The band starts playing, we take to the floor
Circling like planets, there’s heaven to explore
Then later the motel, show “do-not-disturb”
Sleep in ‘til late, it’s what you deserve
It’s not hard to tell - I’m still under your spell

Skin diving ballet, moving as one
Our duvet’s a sea, midnight waves our fun
And when the storm’s passed, we lie in the glow
Of feelings so tender we both have known
It’s not hard to tell - I’m still under your spell

No it’s not hard to tell – I’m still under your spell

You Come By Night

You’re here in the dead of night
Weaving in and out of dreams like some joy rider
You do not reveal yourself
Does-your mask hide a born survivor

You come by night it's kind of frightening
You come by night it's exciting

You’ve gone by dawn’s first gleam
Fading with the morning mist, of lost desires
But you’re still on the fringe
biding your time to take them higher

You come by night it's kind of frightening
You come by night it's exciting

Are you an enemy or are you a friend?
Sometimes companion will you, be there at the end
Trapped in reflection who can that really be?
Escape this sentence, oh see who breaks free

You come by night it's kind of frightening
You come by night it's exciting

Lost Love

Lyrics by 'Didi' E.M.Crook, Music by Andy LeFevre

There’s a crying in the wind
There’s a moaning in the heather
There is sadness in the heath
There is sighing in the weather

The grass is waving at her feet
Her skirt is blowing in the wind
Her hair is streaming round her neck
There is torture in her mind

Her shawl caught all about her
Barefoot and wild she stands
Spirit of the moorland heaths is she
The girl with the roughened hands

She thinks of her love of long ago
Who passed away and left her
He left when mist fell o’er the moor
And went from her life forever

Like her he was with raven hair
Wild rugged and strong
A moorland lad, born to be
And should have lived there long

They played on wi-indy days
and when mist shrouded the moor
In summer sun they laughed with glee
And ran to the weathered tor

But now she stands there all alone
Comfortless for ever
There will always be the saddened heath
And a sighing in the weather

Her shawl caught all about her
Barefoot and wild she stands
Spirit of the moorland heaths is she
The girl with the roughened hands
The girl with the roughened hands

Alive

She looks across the field at poppies, bursting from the wheat
Waving in the wind like soldiers marching home
Then she lies down in their field, reads his letters once again
Senses bullets sneak concealed, between his words for her

She can feel her thoughts exploding
When the news gives nothing out
Oh she fears her life’s imploding
Cos she wants to know not doubt
Is he alive, is he alive?

And the shells burst all around, he ducks and weaves, surviving
Running through a far off field, she’s on the other side
While the seed of life love planted flowers deep inside of her
Kicking at the light and sounds, a front-line yet to cross

She can feel her thoughts exploding
When the news gives nothing out
and she fears her life’s imploding
Cos she wants to know not doubt
Is he alive, is he alive?

And the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack
Can’t bring all-those brave hearts marching back
And the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack
Can’t bring all-those brave hearts marching back
But they’re alive within us
So alive within us

She can feel her thoughts exploding
When the news gives nothing out
Oh she knows her life’s imploding
Cos she wants to know not doubt
He’s alive, he’s alive

She can feel her thoughts exploding
When the news leaves none in doubt
Oh she knows her life’s imploding
He lives on in hearts avowed
He’s alive, he’s alive, yes he’s alive

Tango

Will you dance with me
Be my girl?
Take a chance and
Step into my world

Round and round we go
Quick, quick then slow
Round and round we go
Dizzy in some tango

I’ll take the lead
Will you dance willingly
One two three steps
But don’t let go of me

Round and round we go
Quick, quick then slow
Round and round we go
Dizzy in some tango

These are crazy times
But things will turn out fine - if we can dance
Can we be more than friends?
When the music ends – please stay with me

You smile at me
Making my thoughts spin
Then-you turn away
Like we’re only just beginning

Round and round we go
Quick, quick then slow
Round and round we go
Dizzy in some tango

Journey Through The Night

Close your eyes and travel deep
to far unconscious realms
Falling helpless spinning down
completely overwhelmed

Hear the sound of ocean waves
crashing to the shore
Feel the one that sweeps you up
and rocks you to the core

Now the darkness lose your way
Stumbling through the night
Restless capture can’t break free
you circle round in fright

Time so endless crawls its way
sand trickling down the glass
Grain by grain begrudging falling
passes not too fast

Journey through the night beginning
Journey through the night
Journey through the night reliving
Strange new worlds come spinning

Now the rain starts, now the wind
Outside a raging gale
Wind chimes echo through the window
Chinese torture spells

Toss and turn you hear a cry
From some tormented soul
Wake before the stars go out
Escaping dreams black hole
Back in control

Pawnshop

Pawnshop, Pawnshop tell me your stories
of broken hearts, bravery and glory
See people peering through your window pane
wondering what you hold inside

There’s a ring from Auntie Mary
A locket from lonely Sue
A medal from Uncle Harry and a
broken heart from me too you

Pawnshop, Pawnshop tell me your stories
of broken hearts, bravery and glory
See people peering through your window pane
wondering what you hold inside

The ring held dear since the blitz in the war
The locket from a long lost friend
The medal for charging through a hail of lead
And a broken heart that never mends

I wont forget, I won’t forget
The inscription on your watch, it read
For all time, all my love
For all time I’ve no regrets

Pawnshop, Pawnshop tell me your stories
of broken hearts, bravery and glory
See people peering through your window pane
wondering what you hold inside

The ring so worn could mend a worn out heart
The locket could help a friend
The medal still tells it’s story of,
courage that never ends

I won’t forget, I won’t forget
The inscription on your watch, it read
For all time, all my love
For all time I’ve no regrets

Pawnshop, Pawnshop tell me your stories
of broken hearts, bravery and glory
See people peering through your window pane
wondering what you hold inside

Still Here

Still I feel your touch
Though you are not here
It’s as light as the wind
Your breath in my ear
And you are still here

When the sun goes down
And the light disappears
Can still see your face
‘Cross all of these years
Though all of these tears

I don’t know where the time goes
Days and years it just flows
Like a waterfall
It just knows how to escape
Can't turn the tide at the floodgates
Still I feel you near

Now the stars come out
See Cassiopeia
Oh she’s still the same
And nothing has changed
‘Cos you are still here

I don’t know where the time goes
Days and years it just flows
Like a waterfall
It just knows how to escape
Can't turn the tide at the floodgates
Still I feel you near
And you are still here

Rider

Dusty horizon turns your sky red
Dust devil’s spinning, the plans in your head
Stones in your sandals, holes in your shoes
Gold dust to search for whenever you lose

Rider you stumble and fall
Trying to climb up canyon walls
Gotta find your way out of here
Before they’ll crack you’ll disappear

Dusty horizon, riders coming in
Call sons and daughters, elders pray for our sins
We’ve been rather careless, dreaming padre
Following footprints, we made yesterday

Rider you stumble and fall
Trying to climb up canyon walls
Gotta find your way out of here
Before they crack you’ll disappear

There’s no place you can hide
There’s no way you’ll survive
There’s no place you can hide
So join the riders and ride

Rider you stumble and fall
Trying to climb up canyon walls
Gotta find your way out of here
Before they crack you’ll disappear

There’s no place you can hide
There’s no way you’ll survive
There’s no place you can hide
So join the riders and ride

Searching

I’ve been searching, reaching out
Seeking low and high
Will I ever find you
Will I ever know you
Have I strayed too far?

Oh I’ve been searching
Searching for signs that
show you really
hear my whispers
I’m reaching out
Trying to touch you
Losing my balance
Losing grace
I’m losing track of days
Trapped in a lifelong maze
Don’t know which way to turn
Maybe condemned to burn
Why can’t you find me?
Why can’t you free me?
Oh this uncertainty - this disbelief

When will you see me, here in plain sight, tell me
When will I have you, here in my life

You can help everyone
Even the ones that don’t
know-they-need-help from you
Yeah, they need it too
You must know what to do
For the dwindling few but
You don’t come to us
Was-it-always thus?
Why-don’t-you tend your flock?
Calm the bleating cries
When will we realize
False images cloud our eyes
If we’re not the chosen ones
Are you not there to choose?
One sided hopes and prayers - suspend belief

When will you find us, here in plain sight, tell us
When will we have you, here in our lives

A shadow falls across our path
It’s invading our every shore
Like a Hydra it keeps growing, growing
bigger with every war
And we need you more and more...

When will you find us, here in plain sight, tell us
When will we have you, here in our lives, tell us
When will you find us, here in plain sight, tell us
When will we have you, here in our lives

You'll Find Me Where I'm Waiting

Find, tranquility you seek
Float free, into the distance
Healing rain will sooth your up-turned face
Sunlight, rewarding your persistence

You, my friends, are all my friends, are all
Our fates entwined up-on this endless shore
Deep, my friends, breathe deep my friends, breathe deep
And seek to find who you’ve been looking for

You’ll hear, a voice of someone calling
Down the valley, and on the breeze
Murmurs from the restless brook join in
Overhead, a whispering of leaves

You, my friends, are all my friends, are all
Our fates entwined up-on this endless shore
Deep, my friends, breathe deep my friends, breathe deep
And seek to find who you’ve been looking for

You-’ll find me where I’m waiting
Oh waiting where I’ve always been
We’ll walk and talk make time stand still
Conquer slopes of impossible hills
Transcend ravines, in man’s goodwill - we will

You, my friends, are all my friends, are all
Our fates entwined up-on this endless shore
Deep, my friends, breathe deep my friends, breathe deep
And seek to find who you’ve been looking for
Upon the shore

Come The Hour

Come the hour, I’ll call say sorry turn over, a new leaf
Pack bags and stay a while, share your sorrow and your grief
Come the hour, I'll ring the bells in the old church tower
Come when they toll for your, tearful tribute hour

But I’m afraid to reach-out feeling blind
Afraid of all the pain, I know I’ll find
I don’t believe I’m as strong as you
But if it’s helping you, that might help me too
Come the hour I’ll try

Come the hour, I’ll be waiting here, do whatever you need
Kneel and pray with you, lay flowers helplessly while you grieve
Come the hour, I’ll give it all up, crawl down from my ivory tower
Slow down from living life, a hundred miles an hour

So easy to put the phone down
Forget what you’re going through
A familiar voice, a listening ear
Was that the best I could do for you?

But I’m afraid to reach-out feeling blind
Afraid of all the pain, I know I’ll find
I don’t believe I’m as strong as you
But if it’s helping you, that might help me too
Come the hour I’ll try

Come the hour, I’ll try
Come the hour, I’ll try

Song For Glenn

Bitter not larger
You like one and not the other
The music’s drifting closer
and friends all gather round

Stroke, a dog that’s panting
At the Cock and Bell
Chat, with all the locals
and ask if they are well

Strangers nod to music
While drinking at the bar,
join them
Friendships, therapeutic
Defining who we are

IO are playing
Tim finds the lost chord
Bert’s singing a-cappella
Dennis dances on his board

Cath and Nick are jigging
Fiddle and squeeze box
Myles’ feet start tapping
Yeah the Compasses rocks!

Strangers nod to music
While drinking at the bar,
join them
Friendships, therapeutic
Defining who we are

Singing they start singing
To sing that song again so we’re
Singing, we are singing
Singing a song for Glenn

Siesta Key

Sun beams playing on my window sill
Reminds me of where we’ve been
Silky white sands of Siesta Key still calling me
We lay there naked on the virgin sands
Drying in the breeze
The cool blue ocean breathing in and out
Our bodies rise in sympathy

Siesta Key unlocked the treasure chest
Hidden on Crescent beach
That’s where I learned your love was within my reach
Siesta Key brings back memories
Our footprints in the sand
That’s where they merged at sunset on the strand

Hair curls glisten on your smiling face
Seashell close to your ear
That shell phone call from Siesta Key still rings for me
I answer it in-the dead of night
Hear the breathing waves at the key
Reaching out still finds you lying next to me

Siesta Key unlocked the treasure chest
Hidden on Crescent beach
That’s where I learned your love was within my reach
Siesta Key brings back memories
Our footprints in the sand
That’s where they merged at sunset on the strand

Do do do….

We lay there naked on the virgin sands
Drying in the breeze
The cool blue ocean breathing in and out
Our bodies rise in sympathy

Siesta Key unlocked the treasure chest
Hidden on Crescent beach
That’s where I learned your love was within my reach
Siesta Key brings back memories
Our footprints in the sand
That’s where they merged at sunset on the strand

Pearls (Bonus Track)

Look up at the man in the moon
Surrounded by a diamond sky
But below a blue and white pearl catches his eye

Scattered 'cross a ribbon of black
A string of pearls are fading out
But below a blue and white pearl is still holding out

And the man in the moon cries any time soon
we’re gonna wake and know what’s fake
In all these pearls in the sky only one of them holds you and I
See our mother of pearls iridescent swirls with her blue & white cloudy face
So alone in the darkness waiting for her first embrace

And the girl on the ballroom floor
Spins round in a diamond sky
While the man in the moon circles round trying to catch her eye

And there’s a red face looking on
He's breathless to join the dance
But knowing he can’t cut in he’s already lost his chance

And the man in the moon cries any time soon
we’re gonna wake and know what’s fake
In all these pearls in the sky only one of them holds you and I
See our mother of pearls iridescent swirls with her blue & white cloudy face
So alone in the darkness waiting for her first embrace

We’re dancing with a blue and white pearl
Oh such a beautiful world
Dancing with a blue and white pearl
Oh such a beautiful world
