Fairy Tale

Maybe just tell me you love me
Maybe just tell me you care
Maybe just say that I'm lovely
Maybe I'll know that you're there

Sometimes I want to be lonely
Sometimes I want to be free
Sometimes I want you to hold me
Sometimes I want things I can't have

Always I know I'm confused
Always I know that you're you
Always I know I don't know
Always I know you're amazing

Once I knew things were certain
Once I knew we were true
Once I knew you were you
Once I knew all I needed to know

Maybe all will be perfect
Sometimes you just never know
Always you have to keep hoping
Once can be just a story.

But I hope that's more than it takes.

Dreaming

Drifting on the summer breeze
with the swift darts of swallows
losing all my troubles
in a cloud of calm blue sea

Soft sand supporting
while gentle waves break
the peace 0f the ocean
soothing my soul

Sweet scent of cut grass
wafts through the air
dreams of a loved one
floats songs in the sky

A moment of time
when happiness reigns
a simple remembrance
of easier times.

Small Town Girl

Feeling down and dirty
In actuality, rather small
Shower won't fix this
Nor will standing tall

Truth is I'm a failure
and drink is my success
gonna judge me aren't ya
cos it makes ya a princess

Doesn't matter to me
as long as there's a glass
fill it to the brim now
there's a good lass

Some day, I'll recover
turn my back on booze
but right now it's my saviour
'cos I've nothing left to lose.

Rocking the Blues

Jump in the Road House 
to the AC/DC tunes

Get up and bounce
when the juke box calls

Easy to smile
in the rock bar gloom

But home is where the heart is
and the blues play cool

Keep your soul together
and the music true

Rainbows

The gold at the end of the rainbow
isn't in a pot
it's in the kindness of a glance
the love in a smile
the belief that your heart is true.

Mistakes are easy to make

Recompense, not so much.

Doesn't stop you searching.
Just remember where to look.
