In Soft Light



IN SOFT LIGHT

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018


IN A DAYDREAM
 FLOATING OUT TO MEET THE MORNING SUN
GENTLE WAVES FALL ON SUMMER SHORES
THE EASE OF DAY SETS THE PACE 
LIFTS ME UP TO BE
JUST WHAT I NEED

COMING ON LIKE THE DAY
SHE'LL BE MINE ANYTIME SOON
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
BENEATH THE MOON

I TOOK MY TIME 
POURED SOME WINE
SAT THERE IN THE SHADE
JUST FLOATING OUT TO MEET THE SUN
ON CRYSTAL WATERS
FREE AS THE SUMMER SKY
FEELING LIGHT I'M NOT SURE WHY
MAYBE ITS A LOT OF THINGS
ONE FOR SURE IS YOU

YOU CAN CHANGE THE DAY
MAKE IT GO YOUR WAY
LET ME TASTE TONIGHT BY YOUR GRACE
I MISS THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
YOU MAKE IT ALL SEEM RIGHT
NOTHINGS CHANGED, I STILL DREAM OF YOU
YOU SAY TO ME I'M ALL YOURS
HOLD YOU IN THE SOFT LIGHT
THE PETALS ON THE FLOOR
IN THE MOONLIGHT
 IN THE SILENCE OF THE MOMENT
LOVE WASHES OVER LIKE A GENTLE WAVE
 HOLDS ME TO A PROMISE THAT I MADE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: Far Too Faraway

THE WORDSMITH MILL: Far Too Faraway: FAR TOO FARAWAY WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON 2018 AWAKE IN THE DARK OF MORNING AWAY BEFORE THE SUN FOOTFALLS IN THE FOREST ...

Far Too Faraway



FAR TOO FARAWAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

AWAKE IN THE DARK OF MORNING
AWAY BEFORE THE SUN
FOOTFALLS IN THE FOREST
THE MORNING BREAKS WIDE OPEN
ON GREEN MEADOWS KISSED WITH DEW
WANDERING, ENJOYING THE VIEW

LIGHT ON MY FEET
LIGHT IN MY SOUL
ONE FOOT IN FRONT, KEEP GOING
I WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING
SO I CAN DECIDE
WHICH SIDE OF HEAVEN TO FALL ON
 SUMMER BREEZE, ON THE WINGS OF JULY
ENOUGH TO SATISFY, THE AFTERNOON

MOVING ALONG ON HIGHER GROUND
HIGH ABOVE LOOKING DOWN
THE PATH MY SOUL TAKES ON WINGS
 SOON I'LL BE, SOON I'LL SEE
 WHAT TIMES BRINGS

THE PAST IN THE PAST, SO LONG AGO
AN IDEA A DREAM, I'VE BEEN WATCHING
AND I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN
PIECES OF THAT DREAM 
ITS FAR TOO FARAWAY
IT WON'T LET ME SLEEP
STILL FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY
I CAN FEEL IT ALL COMING DOWN
FALLING HERE JUST LIKE RAIN

ONCE I COULD ALWAYS SMILE
NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M ON MY OWN
SLOWLY WANDERING HOME
FATE TRIED TO HAVE ITS WAY
I NEVER SWALLOWED THAT POISON 
IN ANY WAY
I FORGAVE IT ALL
I FELL INTO TOMORROW
TO MAKE EACH DAY LAST
COUNT THE BLESSINGS I CAN FIND
A LITTLE LOST, BUT I'M NOT BLIND
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER TIME

A KISS FOR LUCK, A WISH FOR A DREAM
A CHOICE I MAKE, A FATE I CAN EMBRACE
A STEP AWAY, A TASTE OF WHAT'S TO COME
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, THERE'S TWO
TO THINK OF AND I DO
ITS NOT JUST A DREAM
IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING
THE LOVE AND LIGHT THAT IT WILL BRING
WILL SHINE LIKE THE SUN
WARM ON OUR BACKS AS WE WANDER
NEVER FAR TOO FARAWAY IN A DREAM
PIECES THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN
NO THEY WON'T LET ME SLEEP

THE WORDSMITH MILL: The Beginning Of Something New

THE WORDSMITH MILL: The Beginning Of Something New: THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON MAY 2018 SEE THE LIGHT SHINING DOWN AGAIN TURNING ON TURNING AROUND...

The Beginning Of Something New


THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

MAY 2018

SEE THE LIGHT SHINING DOWN AGAIN
TURNING ON TURNING AROUND
I'VE WAITED FOR SO LONG
I FEEL JUST LIKE I'M COMING HOME
I DID IT ALL ON MY OWN
KEEP ON TRYING UNTIL ITS RIGHT
KEEP ON UNTIL YOU SEE THE LIGHT

MAYBE NOW I CAN TAKE A LITTLE TIME AWAY
DOWN BY THE SEA, JUST YOU AND ME
GOTTA DO A LITTLE CATCHING UP
ITS GONNA TAKE SOME TIME
TO HAVE OUR OWN SUNSET IN A DREAM
SO MANY TIMES YOU AND I HAVE SEEN
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE
LOOKING OUT INSTEAD OF IN
I KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING
I KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN
NOWHERE I WANT TO GO AGAIN

SOON WE'LL KNOW THE SUN SHINING DOWN
I'M STILL GLAD YOU'RE HERE
WE'LL MAKE IT PURE
WE'LL MAKE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR
DON'T STOP NOW, RUN NOW
TURNING ON, TURNING AROUND
ONE LOOK, SEE THE LIGHT
THAT'S BEEN GONE SO LONG

NO BAD FEELINGS, NO REGRETS
NO UNKIND WORDS WORTH REMEMBERING
WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW 
THE MISTY GRAY IS LIFTING
REVEALING SKIES OF BLUE
SO MUCH CATCHING UP TO DO
EVERYWHERE WE TURN
SOMETHING NEW TO LEARN
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, KEEP ON GOING
DON'T EVEN BE CONCERNED
 WE'RE PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN

SUMMERS THAT WE MISSED OUT ON
WE'LL MAKE UP FOR
GOTTA LITTLE CATCHING UP TO DO WITH YOU
ITS GONNA TAKE SOME TIME
CHANGE OUR LIFE
SOME TIME TO SET THINGS RIGHT
TURN AROUND SEE THE LIGHT
SHINING DOWN AGAIN
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE COMING HOME
WE DID IT ALL ON OUR OWN
THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW 
CAN YOU SEE WHAT LOVE CAN DO

THE WORDSMITH MILL: A Place To Go

THE WORDSMITH MILL: A Place To Go: A PLACE TO GO WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON MAY 2018 THE WORLD COMES CLOSE, AND THEN ITS GONE TAKE A CHANCE, PRESS RIGHT ON ...

A Place To Go



A PLACE TO GO

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

MAY 2018

THE WORLD COMES CLOSE, AND THEN ITS GONE
TAKE A CHANCE, PRESS RIGHT ON
THERE'S A TIME, TO STAY OR GO
A FINE LINE
TO CROSS ALL THE T'S AND DOT THE I'S
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SKIP THEM
FATE HAS OTHER PLANS
LIFE DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT
LIKE YOU PLANNED 

AND SOMETIMES ITS ALL THERE FOR YOU
THOSE ARE THE DAYS WE SEEK TO FIND
HOLD THEM CLOSE, AND TRY TO MAKE THEM LAST
WHEN WE FIND THEM
NOTHING WRONG WITH AN ORDINARY DAY
WE ALL NEED SOME TIME
WE ALL NEED LOVE TO GROW
LIKE A ROSE THAT NEEDS A PLACE TO CLIMB
AND A LITTLE TENDER CARE
WE ALL NEED A PLACE TO GO

IF I SEE YOU SMILING
I'LL KNOW THAT YOU FOUND IT
WANNA BE AROUND IT
SEE IT LAST FOREVER
WHAT MORE COULD BE BETTER
THAN TO HAVE A LOVE
YOU CAN DEPEND ON
WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
IT LIGHTS UP YOUR FACE
THE LOVE YOU GREW WAS WORTH IT
WHERE WOULD YOU BE
IF YOU HADN'T EVEN TRIED

THINK OF ALL THE THINGS YOU LEARNED
THE DAYS THAT KEPT YOU GOING
KNOCKED YOU DOWN OR RAISED YOU UP
THE LOVE YOU GOT TO SHARE
DO YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE
IF IT'S STILL THERE
SOMETIMES YOU REACH FOR LOVE
AND FIND ITS NOT THERE

DON'T STOP
FROM AN ENDING A NEW BEGINNING CAN START
THE LOVE GOES ON, THE LESSONS THE SAME 
EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEONE
A LITTLE LOVE A LITTLE CARE
I'LL KNOW THAT YOU FOUND IT
WANNA BE AROUND IT
CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT
SEE IT LAST, WHAT MORE COULD IT BE
LET'S FIND OUT, REACH FOR LOVE

TELL ME THE SUN SHINING DOWN ON YOU
DOESN'T MAKE YOU GLOW
ANTICIPATE SOMETHING GOOD IS CLOSE
IF YOU THINK IT WILL HELP YOU
YOU NEED IT THE MOST

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: I Will Wait For You

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: I Will Wait For You: I WILL WAIT FOR YOU WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON MAY 2018 THE FIRST RAIN FELL ON DRAB FIELDS AND HILLS  A HUSHED PROMISE ...

I Will Wait For You



I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

MAY 2018


THE FIRST RAIN FELL ON
DRAB FIELDS AND HILLS 
A HUSHED PROMISE
OF SUMMER GREEN
GRAY SKIES, SLEEPY EYES
WORN FROM WINTERS GRIP
JUST LET GO OF YOU
WAKE TO GOLDEN SUN
A SKY OF BLUE
 WELCOME BACK TO YOU

YOUR SOUL IS LIFTED FROM THE GROUND
SWEET SUMMER DAY
 SUMMER SOUNDS FILL THE AIR
I'M WAITING
 I'M WAITING FOR YOU THERE
WHEN YOU BRING THAT SMILE TO ME
I'M GONNA KISS YOU
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY FREE
YOU BELONGED TO ME
ALL ALONG

THE TIMES BETWEEN YOU AND I
IS WHERE MY HEART STAYS
A SUMMER MORN
THE SUNSHINE ON
YOUR FACE FEELS WARM
A KISS ONLY SETS YOU ON FIRE
THE WICKED SECRETS REVEALED
IN SUMMER LIGHT OF DAY
TO THE FLICKERING CANDLE
 IN THE NIGHT

IF I CAN STOP YOU FROM FALLING
I WILL, I WOULD 
THAT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD
I WILL WAIT FOR YOU
IF YOU'RE NOT TOO LONG
SUMMERS COMING FAST
YOU KNOW IT NEVER LASTS
THE TIME IS NOW
ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE IT

I NEED YOU AT MY SIDE
I WON'T BE DENIED
YOU CAN, YOU DO
CHASE ALL MY BLUES AWAY
YOU CHANGE AN ORDINARY DAY
TO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
LIKE ONLY YOU CAN

I'M NOT SAYING YOU
I'M NOT PRAYING YOU
HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
BUT YOU CAN TRY
WE'LL BOTH TAKE THIS SUMMER DAY
TURN IT AROUND TO GO OUR WAY
UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE MOON IS HIGH
WE'LL MILK IT DRY
NO REASON NOT TO TRY

EACH NEW SUMMER DAY
SMELLS SWEETER THAN THE LAST
THE FLOWERS NEVER STOP
THEY'RE GROWING FAST
IF I WAS TO TELL YOU
WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
WOULD YOU LOVE ME
JUST THE SAME
THERE'S NO DISTANCE
WE CAN'T MAKE
IT DOESN'T MATTER 
WHAT ROAD WE TAKE

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Awake

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Awake: AWAKE WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON MAY 2018 DON'T EVEN ASK ME I'M NOT SURE IF LOVE CAN TRIUMPH OVER EVIL I JUST THINK...

Awake


AWAKE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

MAY 2018

DON'T EVEN ASK ME I'M NOT SURE
IF LOVE CAN TRIUMPH OVER EVIL
I JUST THINK IT CAN
I BELIEVE IT WILL 
BUT IT TAKES PRECIOUS TIME
AND PRECIOUS FEW ARE FIT
TO LEAD MAN

ARE YOU LED OR 
DO YOU UNDERSTAND 
ARE YOU AWAKE OR DO YOU
SLEEP RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE FOR LUST
CONTROL AND GREED
KNOW NOTHING OF
 COMPASSION, PEACE, OR LOVE 

UNMASK THEM ALL SO WE CAN SEE
ITS NOT A FANTASY
ITS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE
FIRST THEY'LL FALL
ONE BY ONE
AND THE WALLS WILL CRUMBLE
BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE 
WILL YOU BE WOKEN UP
 ENOUGH BY THEN 
SO THAT YOU CAN SEE
HOW FAR FROM THE WAY
THINGS SHOULD BE
WE'VE ALL BEEN LED

WILL YOU FEEL THE LOVE YOU MISSED
WILL YOU HELP SHAPE
A UTOPIAN EXISTENCE 
ON A FOUNDATION OF LOVE
SOMETHING INSIDE 
TO BELIEVE WE CAN IF WE WANT TO
IN THE END
LOVE ALWAYS WINS
WE JUST HAVE TO GET THERE AGAIN

ITS TIME, TIME TO TAKE THE LEAD
SLAY THE DRAGONS THAT YOU FEED
NEVER GIVING BACK
TURNING AWAY FROM PEOPLES NEEDS
ALL FOR THE SAKE OF GREED
WHO WILL STAND UP AGAINST IT
OR JUST WALK AWAY
GO BACK TO SLEEP
JUST OUT OF REACH

WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYWAY
THERE'S ENOUGH OF US
 TO HAVE OUR SAY
THEY KNOW WE ARE COMING
SO THEY WOULD ASK THAT WE DISARM
BY FORCE IF NOT BY CHARM
DON'T FALL FOR IT ANOTHER MINUTE
TO BE SUBMISSIVE
WOULD BE INVITATION TO DOOM

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Drifting To Me

Drifting To Me



DRIFTING TO ME

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

MAY 2018

IN THE SUMMER LIFE AND LOVE ARE BORN
TO A HIGHER PLAIN
THINGS ARE NEVER THE SAME WAY TWICE
SOME THINGS MAY NEVER BE
LET'S JUST WAIT AND SEE
WHAT A SOFT SUMMER NIGHT
BRINGS TO ME
LEAVE IT TO THE MOON RISING
RUNNING AWAY ACROSS THE SKY

THE ANSWERS THERE BETWEEN THE STARS
LEFT OR RIGHT
ON THE PATH OF A SATELLITE
MAYBE I'M ALONE BUT THAT CAN CHANGE
IN A FLASH OF POWDER
MAYBE I DON'T HAVE TO WONDER
 WHERE LOVE IS GONE
SURROUNDED IN IT
COULD I BE FOUND

ALWAYS SOMETHING 
REMAINING TO SEE 
ITS ALRIGHT IF YOU COME ON STRONG
LONG AS IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG
DRIFTING TO ME
TELL ME YOU NEED ME
YOU'LL FEED MY SOUL
HOLD ONTO ME, NEVER LET GO

JUST LIKE THE STARS WE SHARE
JUST MAKE IT EASY TO CARE
WAKE UP AND FIND YOU THERE
I GUESS I WON'T BURN MY WINGS
SO WE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS
SEE WHAT EACH SUMMER BRINGS
I WILL BRING YOU NEAR
HOLD YOU CLOSE
PROTECT YOU FROM THE DARK 
START A FIRE FROM A SPARK

JUST HOLD ON
LET ME TAKE YOU ALONG
BEFORE THE SUMMERS GONE
AND COLD WINDS
STEAL THE LEAVES FROM THE TREES
SOME THINGS MAY NEVER BE
WHY SHOULD WE WAIT AND SEE
TEMPTATION AT MY SIDE
MY HEART NEVER LIED

DON'T SAY NO I'M WRONG
DON'T GO HOME ALONE
THE TRUTH IS LOVE
ON A SOFT SUMMER NIGHT
YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALONE
ITS NOT RIGHT
JUST COME WITH ME
AND FIND THIS NIGHT

NEVER SEEN A HEART LIKE THIS
JUST A STOLEN KISS
LET ME HOLD YOU FOR AWHILE
SEE IF I CAN MAKE YOU SMILE
WALK RIGHT BESIDE YOU
IN THE SUMMER SUN
LOVE WILL NEVER BE UNDONE
JUST KEEP DRIFTING
HURRY TO ME
WE'LL LAUGH IN THE MOONLIGHT
AS WE WANDER TIL DAWN 
A STEADY EMBRACE
THEN WE'LL CARRY ON

Misty Morning



MISTY MORNING

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018


SHE TOOK THE MOON AND STARS
AND PUT THEM IN HER EYES
DREAMS LIE ON HER PILLOW
IN THE MORNING SUNRISE
I CAN FEEL HER HEART
LIKE I'M INSIDE
SHE MAKES SURE I KNOW
WHATEVER AILS ME SHE'S THE CURE
I LIE AWAKE A MILLION DREAMS ON HOLD
 THE SKY WENT FROM BLACK
AND TURNED TO GOLD

SHE TOOK THE DAY AND TAMED IT
MADE IT GO HER WAY
SHE SHARED IT ALL WITH ME
WHAT MORE COULD I SAY
IMAGINE IF YOU WILL SHE SAID
EVERYTHING YOUR WAY
I'M SURE I CAN
JUST AS LONG AS YOU STAY

SHE TOOK MY LOVE
TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING MORE
JUST FOR ME
SO THAT I'D BE SURE
TO BELIEVE IN HER
I'M NOT SURE WHAT KIND
OF MAGIC THIS IS
THAT TAKES US THROUGH EACH STORM
COMING THROUGH IT UNHARMED
CHARGED AND CHARMED

FUNNY HOW SHE ALWAYS KNOWS
HOW THINGS NEED TO GO
SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY
SAVE IT FOR YOU AND I TO PLAY
THE LITTLE STOPS ALONG THE WAY
MISTY MORNING FIELDS OF GRAY
WAITING FOR THE SUMMER SUN

WHILE WE PUT THE MILES ON
EACH ONE FILLED WITH LOVE
NOW WERE GETTING SOMEWHERE
GOING WHERE THE SUN
 NEVER LETS YOU DOWN
AND THE MOON NEVER LETS YOU
FORGET WHY YOU CAME ALONG

I NEVER KNEW
 I LOOKED RIGHT THROUGH 
TO THE OTHER SIDE
MY, MY LOVE I CANNOT HIDE
JUST WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE
YOU'RE GOING SOMEWHERE
YOU'RE SOMEONE AGAIN
OH SOMEONE NEW
NOT LIKE YESTERDAY

WHAT'S A DREAM
 WITHOUT A DREAMER
WHAT'S LOVE 
WITHOUT TWO HEARTS
LEFT ALONE
IT ALL COMES APART
SHE TOOK THE DEW
AND MADE SOME TEA
CLOVER AND BERGAMOT
JUST FOR HER AND ME

LOVE THERE IN THE SUN
BURNING OFF THE MIST
A KISS TO START
 THE SUMMERTIME
UNCOVERED AS LOVE
MY LOVE I CANNOT HIDE
YOURS FROM DEEP INSIDE
