Just A Picture



Just A Picture

Written By : J.R HILTON

2017


SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO FIGURE OUT
THE WAY THINGS ALL GO
THE CHAOS IN THE ORDER
IS FAR REACHING AND UNFEELING 
I ONCE THOUGHT THAT I WAS FREE
WHEREVER I WAS I WANTED TO BE
NOW I KNOW THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE

I'M A PRISONER OF MY PAST IN PRESENT
AND A SLAVE TO TOMORROW
MADE MY LOSSES ALL THEIR GAINS
NOW IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME
TIRED OF FIGHTING MY WAY
FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT

THE SUNS SETTING BEHIND ME
JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME
OF WHICH I'M STUCK BETWEEN
AND OUTSIDE OF THIS, SEE TIME GOING PAST
AND IT'S LEAVING ME BEHIND
AS TIME SO OFTEN DOES
TAKE ME, MAYBE, TO BE SPIRITED AND FREE
LIKE I ONCE WAS, LIKE I USED TO BE

JUST A LITTLE BREAK
FROM ALL THIS HEARTACHE
HEAPED ON ME
LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY
TO BREAK THIS SPELL
IS THERE A WAY TO THE BACKSIDE OF THIS HELL
WHILE I'M STILL HOLDING ON
IF I LET GO, I'LL BE GONE
 I'LL HOLD ON AS LONG AS I CAN
TO FEEL WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FREE AGAIN

HOW LONG ISN'T THIS ENOUGH
OF A BEAUTIFUL LIFE 
STUCK ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
THAT USED TO BE ME
NOW IT'S JUST SOMEONE ELSE I SEE
THE SUNS SETTING BEHIND ME
JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME
OF WHICH I'M STUCK BETWEEN

REFLECTING HARDSHIPS TO BEAR
TOO HAPPY TO KEEP ME THERE
AND I KNOW I BELONG ON THE OTHER SIDE
FROM THE SIDE I'M ON
I KNEW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ALONG
MAKES IT ALL THE HARDER TO TAKE
READY TO GO, I'M WIDE AWAKE
AND I KNOW THAT THIS CAN'T FAIL
BUT I'M SCRATCHING TO NO AVAIL
JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME
THAT I'M STUCK BETWEEN

I Could Say



I COULD SAY

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

SO MUCH I COULD SAY BUT I DON'T NOW
I KEEP IT TO MYSELF
BESIDES NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW ANYWAYS
KNOW ANY BETTER
SO I DON'T SAY WHAT'S ON  MY MIND ANYMORE
I KEEP TO MYSELF BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE LET ME DOWN
TALKED BEHIND MY BACK WHEN I WASN'T AROUND
I DON'T NEED THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE NEAR ME

KINDNESS ISN'T ALWAYS WHAT IT SEEMS
NO SOMETIMES IT'S MEANT TO DECEIVE
JUST ANOTHER TRICK UP THE SLEEVE
IT'S NO WONDER I FEEL OKAY ALONE
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
IT'S A WORLD APART, A HARD HARD START
BUT IT'S ALL I'VE GOT
AND MAYBE IT'S ALL I NEED

THE ADVICE I HEED
JUST DOESN'T COME FROM ANYONE
OR IT DOESN'T COME AT ALL
NEVER A CALL, USUALLY AT ALL 
BUT I JUST CARRY ON
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING DIFFERENT

 I CAN'T MISS WHAT I'VE NEVER HAD
GUESS IT'S REALLY NOT SO BAD
ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS
TO LEAD THE WAY FROM THIS PLACE I FIND MYSELF IN
DEEP WITHIN I KNOW MY HEART
WOULDN'T LET ME DOWN
I CAN STILL FEEL SOMETHING THERE
THAT JUST WON'T GO AWAY
WAITING FOR IT'S DAY

SO MUCH I COULD SAY
OR HAVE I SAID IT ALL
DOES IT MATTER, IF I FALL
NOBODY CARES TO KNOW
CLOSE ME OUT, I WON'T FEEL, A THING

Waiting For Something Beautiful

Painting By: J.R Hilton



WAITING FOR SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017 APRIL


LONELY SKY TONIGHT
NEW MOON PEEKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS
WHEREVER YOU ARE TONIGHT
THINKING OF YOU, NO SURPRISE
YOUR VISION NEVER LEAVES ME
I CAN SEE YOUR SMILE
HEAR YOUR LAUGH
SMELL YOUR PERFUME
SOFT LIKE SPRING, DEW DROPS ON ROSE
I CAN'T SHAKE IT
CAN'T FORGET HOW YOU MADE IT FOR ME

WHERE ARE YOU DARLING
NEW PLACE, NEW LIFE
WHEN YOU WATCH THE WAVES
CRASHING INTO THE SHORE
DO YOU EVER THINK OF ME
TIMES WE HAD
RUNNING UP THAT HILL
AND THE WALLS HOLD STILL
GUARD THE CASTLE LIKE YOUR HEART

MAYBE YOU SHOULD OF THOUGHT ENOUGH
NOT TO LET ME IN
SHOW ME JOY
BUT LEAD ME TO HEARTACHE
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE
WAITING FOR SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW
TIMES I LOOKED INSIDE MY HEART
AND I COULDN'T SEE
ANYTHING BUT EMPTINESS
INSIDE OF ME

HOW YOU WERE GONNA CHANGE IT ALL
YOU WERE UNDER MY SPELL
AND IT WAS SO EASY TO TELL
BUT YOU DECIDED IT WORE OFF, AND YOU LET GO
JUST STOOD THERE AND WATCHED ME WALK AWAY
ALL THE THINGS I THOUGHT MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND
I WAS WRONG, MAYBE I WAS WRONG RIGHT FROM THE START
BUT I CLOSED MY EYES AND PLAYED THE PART

SHOWED ME JOY AND LED ME TO HEARTACHE
IT WAS HARD TO TAKE
FELT LIKE I'D BEEN STRUNG ALONG
EVERYTHING WE HAD SUDDENLY GONE
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ME AS YOU THOUGHT
IT HAD TO BE JUST AS YOU MADE IT WHAT YOU BOUGHT
GUARD YOUR HEART FROM THE DEMONS FROM YOUR PAST
EVEN I THOUGHT YOU'D SEEN YOUR LAST
GUESS THEY CAUGHT UP TO YOU AFTER ALL
I STILL HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY
 WITH THAT CALL THAT CHANGED FOREVER

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Come With Me

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Come With Me: COME WITH ME Written by: J.R Hilton 2017  COME WITH ME, FOR A LITTLE WHILE WE'LL SEE, WHAT WE CAN SEE YOU AND ...

Come With Me



COME WITH ME

Written by: J.R Hilton

2017 


COME WITH ME, FOR A LITTLE WHILE
WE'LL SEE, WHAT WE CAN SEE
YOU AND I, TOGETHER
WILL BE WHAT WE MAKE IT
WHAT IT WILL BE
YOUR HAND IN MINE
WALKING THROUGH THE PARK
DOWN BY THE RIVER
FEEDING THE SWANS
IN THE AFTERNOON SUN

THERE'S A PICNIC TABLE
RUN, RUN, WE'LL SIT HERE
 BENEATH THIS OAK TREE, FOR AWHILE
YOU CAN TELL ME THINGS AND MAKE ME SMILE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A DRIVE
TO THE MOUNTAINS, TO A LAKE I KNOW
JUST SAY THE WORD AND OFF WE'LL GO
ANYWHERE WITH YOU AT ALL
JUST TO HAVE YOU NEAR
EVERYTHING BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR
AND I HARDLY KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT

SO KISS ME WHILE I DECIDE
THAT'S NICE, LET'S GO FOR TWICE
MAYBE THIS DAY HAS WHAT IT TAKES
LET'S SEE, WHERE IT TAKES US
WHAT IT MAKES
RUN, RUN, TO THE CAR
PRETTY, AS YOU ARE
OFF WE GO TOGETHER
WE SHOULD DO THIS MORE YOU AND I
STARLIT SKY
MOONLIGHT ON THE BEACH
REACH, REACH, IT'S NOT FAR,I'M RIGHT BESIDE YOU

KISS ME AGAIN, JUST FOR LUCK
THEN TWICE MORE
JUST BECAUSE IT'S SO NICE
COME, COME, WITH ME
ALL THE STARS REFLECTED IN YOUR EYES
MAKES MY SPIRIT SOAR
IF THAT'S LOVE THEN LET IT POUR
RUN. RUN, WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE TRY
IN YOUR LITTLE BLACK DRESS
ANYWHERE, AS LONG AS IT'S WITH YOU
JUST SAY THE WORD AND OFF WE'LL GO
RUN, RUN, TO A PLACE YOU KNOW
SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU USED TO GO
YOU THINK I SHOULD SEE
KISS ME CAUSE YOU CAN
COME WITH ME

Long Play



Long Play

Written by: J.R HILTON

2017


THE DAWN RISES UP TO MEET THE DAY
THE DEW LIES GLISTENING ON THE GRASS
WAKING FLOWERS YAWNING IN THE SUN
EAGLES RISE TO SOAR THROUGH BLUE SKIES
WAVES CRASH ON THE ROCKY SHORE
EBB BACK TO THE SEA JUST IN TIME FOR MORE
SUNBEAMS HANGING RIGHT THERE IN THE TREES
TO TAKE THIS ALL IN AT ONCE 
IS TO BE OVERWHELMED
THIS KIND OF PEACE ROCKS YOUR SOUL
TAKES YOU BACK TO LONG AGO

WIDE AWAKE AND DREAMING 
COMING AND GOING
NOW IT'S COMING ROUND AGAIN
AND I'M NOT GOING TO MISS IT THIS TIME
IN A GOOD GROOVE
SET FOR LONG PLAY
INTO THE BLUE
AND OUT OF THE GRAY
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME TO GO
WITH EMPTY POCKETS AND EMPTY PROMISES
WONDERING WHAT MORE CAN I DO

ONE DAY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
DECIDE SO MANY THINGS
WITHOUT ANY RESISTANCE
LIKE A WELL GUARDED CASTLE
IT'S HARD TO GET INSIDE
IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE AN INVITE
SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE AT ALL
WHILE OTHERS NEVER STOP
TRYING TO KEEP ON TOP IS NEVER EASY

LIKE A SHIP AT SEA, GIVEN LIBERTY
STILL AT THE MERCY OF THE WINDS
THERE'S NO TIME TO WORRY ABOUT YESTERDAY
WE'RE WORKING ON TOMORROW HERE TODAY
FORDING STREAMS AND INTO THE FOREST
LOOKING FOR OUR DREAMS
WITH NO EXPECTATIONS
YOU'LL NEVER FIND A THING

FULL MOON BEGINS TO RISE
INTO ABSTRACT COLORED KALEIDOSCOPE SKIES
QUEST AFTER QUEST, EACH HARDER THAN THE LAST
EATING TIME FROM THE PRESENT
AND TURNING IT INTO THE PAST
AND AS WE MAKE OUR WAY DOWN THE WINDING TRAIL
NEVER IN OUR HEARTS THAT WE MIGHT FAIL
AND YOU MIGHT FIND THE VERY THING
THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO DANCE AND SING
THAT ELUDED YOU FOR SO LONG
LIFE MUST THINK YOU'RE VERY STRONG
YOU MIGHT GIVE UP, BUT NEVER FOR LONG
THE DAY IS ALWAYS MOVING ON

Country Dream

Jeffrey Hilton

COUNTRY DREAM

RODEO I GOTTA GO
BUCKING BRONCOS
RIDING DOWN THESE RANGE ROADS
LOOKING AT THE ROLLING FOOTHILLS
PRAIRIE GRASS AND SAGE
ANCIENT WHISPERS FROM ANOTHER AGE
BIG FARMS SMALL FARMS
WITH ALL THE MOUNTAINS FOR A VIEW
IT'S HARD TO LOOK AWAY
COYOTES CROSSING THE FIELD
IN THE MORNING SUN
EAGLES CIRCLING THE SKIES ABOVE
GOT THE RABBITS GONE TO GROUND

I'D LIKE TO LIVE HERE
BUT LIFE'S GOT OTHER PLANS
IN THE CITY WHERE I DON'T BELONG
AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG
BEFORE I FIND MYSELF OUT ON THESE RANGE ROADS
WHERE I FEEL ALIVE
FILL MY SOUL WITH SWEET COUNTRY DREAMS
 BIG OLD COUNTRY MOON
RISING ABOVE THE TREES
DON'T TAKE MUCH TO SATISFY ME
LONE WOLF HOWLING ON A HILL
THEN SILENCE ALL AROUND
 COUNTRY NIGHT MY FAVORITE SOUND

DOWN BY THE RIVER DEEP IN THE WOODS
I'D BUILD A LITTLE HOUSE IF I COULD
I'D LIKE TO GET A HORSE AND RIDE THE RANGE
RIGHT INTO THE PINES
RIDE OUT ONTO A RIDGE
AS THE SUNS GOING DOWN 
JUST ME AND THAT HORSE
SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE SKY
I'D RIDE HIM FAST
I'D RIDE HIM SLOW
I'D WALK BESIDE HIM AS THE SUNS SINKING LOW
IN MY MIND THAT'S FREE
YOU COULDN'T FIND ME
I'LL FIND YOU INSTEAD, IF I WANT

BUT NO LOOK AT ME
BARELY HANGING ONTO THIS LIFE OF MINE
BUT THAT DON'T STOP ME NONE FROM DREAMING
OF RANGE ROADS, THAT LEAD ME HOME
A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRY THAT I CAN CALL MY OWN
I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE COUNTRY SILENCE
SETTLING INTO MY SOUL
IT'S SOMETHING I NEED TO FEEL
SOMETHING I NEED TO BE REAL
I LIE HERE IN MY BED
DREAMS OF RANGE ROADS IN THE COUNTRY
FILL MY HEAD
COUNTRY DREAM, I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE

Ten Thousand Dream Sleeps

J.R Hilton


Ten Thousand Dream Sleeps

Written by: J.R Hilton 2017 




SO MANY STORIES, WITHOUT A SPOKEN WORD
FILL UP SO MANY PAGES
I UNDERSTAND SOME ARE EVEN TRUE
WHILE STILL OTHERS ARE MADE UP OR SKEWED
TO SUIT THE VIEW, COVER UP THE TRUTH
YOU'LL MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP
BUT IT'S TRUE
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME
WITH EYES THAT SEE BEYOND THE VEIL

PEACE DOESN'T COME EASY
ALWAYS WITH THESE FEELINGS
THAT'S SOMETHINGS AMISS
WHEN ANYTHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
I DISAPPEAR FADE INTO THE NIGHT 
I KEEP MY CIRCLE SMALL
I'M WARY BEYOND SUSPICION
ONE HAND ON THE SWITCH

PEOPLES MINDS TALKING TOO LOUD
I TAKE MYSELF AWAY FROM THE CROWD
AWAY FROM THE DISTANT DIN WHERE I CAN FIND MYSELF AGAIN
BUT WHO WILL SAY
WE MUST CARRY THIS HEAVY STONE
ALL THE WAY
IT DANCES IT MOVES IT SURROUNDS YOU
BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN IT
LIKE A SLEEPWALKER DISCONNECTED FROM HIS STEPS
TEN THOUSAND DREAM SLEEPS
I KNOW YOU CAN FIND IT IF YOU TRY

I DON'T PUT MY TRUST IN PEOPLE
 OR THINGS THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I KEEP WALKING AWAY
ALL PART OF SOME PLAN
BREAKING INTO THE UNIVERSAL CODES
SO I CAN MAKE A KEY
GET IN AND FIGURE IT ALL OUT
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF RUNNING FREE
NOTHING LEFT TO DOUBT

I TRY TO GREET EVERYDAY THE SAME
PEACE AND NO FINGERS OF BLAME
DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T KNOW THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE
YOU CAN TALK ALL YOU WANT
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN A THING
IF NO ONE IS LISTENING
THE WORDS DRIFTING PAST
WHISPERED ON THE WIND
SIGNED UPON THE GROUND FOR ALL TO SEE
TEN THOUSAND DREAM SLEEPS
I KNOW YOU CAN FIND IT IF YOU TRY

One Kiss



ONE KISS

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

WHY DO YOU HIDE YOURSELF IN DARKNESS
COME INTO THE LIGHT
I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING
TO MAKE YOU FEEL ALRIGHT
I KNOW IT'S A CLOUDY DAY
TRY NOT TO LET THAT GET IN THE WAY
NEVER MIND THE TIME
IT'S ALL THAT WE HAVE
LET'S TAKE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TURN IT INTO GOLD
THE MOMENT I SAW YOU
I WAS SOLD

COME TO ME DARLING
MY ARMS AWAIT
COME ON LET ME HOLD YOU
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
ONE KISS COULD CHANGE YOUR MIND
TURN INTO SOMETHING YOU NEED ALL THE TIME
THERE'S NO TURNING BACK
ONCE YOU'RE IN
YOU'LL WANT ALL THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN

THIS COULD BE A DAY TO REMEMEBR
I'M SURE ENOUGH THAT'S TRUE
BECAUSE ALL THE PICTURES IN MY MIND
ARE ALL PICTURES OF ME WITH YOU
LAUGHING,LIVING,LEARNING TO LOVE
IN YOUR EYES, POOLS REFLECT YOUR SOUL
AND IF WHAT I'M SEEING IS TRUE
IT SHOULD BE ME AND YOU 

FLYING ON A SUNNY DAY
TO PLACES WE'VE NEVER SEEN
THAT ALMOST GOT AWAY
THE SMILE YOU'RE WEARING
IS SWEET TO SEE
EVEN SWEETER TO THINK
IT WAS PUT THERE BY ME
AND NOW IT'S UP TO YOU
TO DECIDE WHAT YOU'RE INTENTIONS ARE
WILL YOU STAND BESIDE ME
IN TOMORROWS LIGHT
COULD YOU LOVE ME THE YOU DREAMED IT WOULD BE
OR WILL YOU SLIP AWAY IN THE NIGHT

I LOVE THE WAY, YOUR HAIR FALLS AWAY
WHEN YOU TILT YOUR HEAD IN CONCENTRATION 
AND OH THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
IS GIVING RISE, TO THINGS BEYOND MY CONTROL
I NEED YOU NOW, I'LL NEED YOU TOMORROW
IT SHOULDN'T BE A MYSTERY
YOU CAN SEE HOW I FEEL
JUST WAKE ME UP AND POINT ME WEST
IF THIS ISN'T REAL
COME TO ME MY DARLING
MY ARMS AWAIT
COME ON LET ME HOLD YOU
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
