One Dream Away



ONE DREAM AWAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

GOT TO GET OUT OF THE CITY
SOMEWHERE I CAN BREATHE
WAY OUT PAST THE NEON
PARADISE FOR NATURES CHILD
OPENING MY SOUL 
TO FREEDOM TO BE GAINED
JUST TO BE ON THAT ROAD AGAIN
SETS MY HEART ALIGHT

CITY BEHIND US FARAWAY 
ANOTHER WORLD IN THE SKY
ITS BEEN SO LONG THAT'S ALL
I CAN'T WAIT TO RUNAWAY WITH YOU
HEAD FOR THE MOUNTAINS
RUN FOR THE COAST
RIDE THE FERRY TO THE ISLAND
FIND THE SUNSETS WE'VE BEEN MISSING

ONE DREAM AWAY
DID I HEAR YOU SAY
IN MY MIND WE'RE ALREADY GONE
WAY OUT PAST THE NEON
 MAKING FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
WALKING DOWN THE BEACH
HOLDING YOUR HAND
PARADISE FOR NATURES CHILD

Smiling On Your Pillow


SMILING ON YOUR PILLOW

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WHAT KIND OF THINGS DO YOU LIKE
TELL ME WHAT TURNS YOUR HEAD
IS SURE TO MAKE YOU SMILE
WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART RISE
LIKE THE MORNING SUN
IF ITS ANYTHING LIKE LOVE
YOU'LL NEVER RUN OUT
I KNOW I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL OF MINE
SURE I'D CROSS THAT LINE
TO BE WITH YOU
GET INSIDE YOUR HEART
SEE THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR EYES
ALL SUCH A SWEET SURPRISE

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
IS WHO YOU ALREADY ARE NOW
EVERY TIME YOU TURNED MY WAY
I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING 
YOU WANTED TO SAY
IT WASN'T JUST ME
 FEELING THE LOVE
 YOU PUT OUT THERE FOR ME TO SEE

YOUR NAME SOFTLY WHISPERED
CARRIED BY THE WIND
MUST OF GOT INTO YOUR HEAD
THE TIMES I LAID AWAKE
THINKING OF YOU
WONDERING IF YOU WERE DOING THE SAME
WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE
I ALREADY HAD IT PICTURED
I THOUGHT ABOUT US SO MANY TIMES
IT FELT LIKE YOU WERE ALREADY MINE 
LOVE ALREADY GREW
YOU ALREADY KNEW WHERE YOU BELONGED

LIKE THE SUN RAYS SHINING DOWN ON YOU
WOTCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT
YOU CAN'T DENY THE WAY YOU FEEL
SMILING ON YOUR PILLOW
LOOKING AT THE STARS
I FEEL YOUR HEART BEATING NEXT TO MINE
NOW WERE GETTING SOMEWHERE
WE KNOW WE WANT TO BE
TIME KEPT US APART SO LONG
MAYBE IT DIDN'T THINK WE WERE READY
DIDN'T THINK WE WERE STRONG ENOUGH
FOR A LOVE LIKE THIS
KEPT US IN MIND
FOR A PERFECT TIME

LOVE FALLS ON YOU AND I 
THERE'S NO WAY WE SHOULDN'T TRY
YOUR SWEET LOVE ALMOST MAKES ME CRY
TEARS OF GRATEFULNESS, TEARS OF JOY
YOU MAKE LOVE A BEAUTIFUL THING
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE NOW
NEVER LET YOU SLIP AWAY
YOU IN MY LIFE EACH DAY
AND NOW THAT I CAN SEE
THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR EYES
I FINALLY SEE THE OTHER SIDE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: It Was You

It Was You



IT WAS YOU

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLORS FLY
THE DYING DAY TO TESTIFY
LET THE EVENING BEGIN
WE CAN LOOK AT THE STARS AND THEN
AS THOUGH TO JUSTIFY
THE MOON SPLITS THE NIGHT IN TWO
ITS GOOD FOR ME, IS IT GOOD FOR YOU

IS THIS THE BEGINNING 
OF SOME ENGINEERED END
OR HAS IT ALL ONLY JUST BEGAN
TELL ME WHAT YOU FEEL
IS YOUR LOVE FOR ME ALL REAL
TELL ME THINGS IN THE DARK
WHISPER IN MY EAR
MAKE IT ALL CLEAR

HELP ME GIVE YOU THE HELP YOU NEED
AFTER ALL IT WAS YOU
THAT PLANTED THE SEED
BY LIGHT OF THE MOON
AND CALLED THE RAIN
I WATCHED IT FALL 
AND WITH THE SUN IT GREW UP TALL
SURE IT WAS YOU THAT GOT ME HERE
I'D BE PLEASED TO SEE YOU SMILE
FEEL YOUR LOVE

LEAD ME TO THE PLACE YOU ARE
FOLLOW YOU TO THE PLACE
YOU'D LIKE TO SHOW ME
NO ONE KNOWS BUT YOU AND I
A KISS A QUIET SIGH 
CLOSE YOUR EYES TO THE NIGHT
YOU WERE THE LIGHT IN THIS

Spanish Gold



SPANISH GOLD

WRITTEN BY JEFFREY R HILTON

2018

A FULL MOON FILLS THE VIEW
ABOVE THE DARK SHADES OF THE HILLS
THAT SEEM TO SLEEP BELOW
THE SILENT NIGHT, THE STARS ALL AGLOW
CAST YOUR DOUBTS LIKE SHADOWS
INSIDE THESE SHORTER NIGHTS
AND LONGER DAYS

TEASED BY THE SUN 
ABSORBED BY THE HEAT 
COOLED BY THE WATER
THAT WASHES OVER OUR FEET
WATCHED BY THE TREES
WAITING FOR THE NEXT BREEZE
EYES PEELED ON THE WAVES
THAT GENTLY CARESS THE SHORE
ROLLING IN, ROLLING OUT 
LEAVING NO DOUBTS BEHIND

THE DAY GOES ON SWEETLY
WITHOUT A HITCH
THE AFTERNOON GREETS US
LIKE SOME OLD FRIEND
WE NEVER THOUGHT WE'D SEE AGAIN
A SWEET SUMMER SONG
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT TO SING ALONG
YOU SEEM TO KNOW THE WORDS SO WELL

AND OFF THE COAST
THE SAILS GO TO AND FRO
THE SUN BEGINS TO GLOW
LIKE SPANISH GOLD
AND THIS PIECE OF COASTLINE 
IS HEAVEN ON EARTH
WHEN THE SUN SETS
THERE'S ALWAYS A SHOW 
ALL THE COLORS THAT YOU'VE SEEN
AND SOME THAT YOU DON'T KNOW
ADD TO THE PALLETTE

ANOTHER DAYS ALL BUT DONE
AS FIERY RED SKIES FADE AWAY
INTO ANOTHER AUGUST NIGHT 
SOMETHING TO DRAW YOU BACK
AGAIN, AND AGAIN
UNTIL YOU LEARN TO STAY
GET IT RIGHT SO YOU
CAN PLAY ALONG WITH THAT
SWEET SUMMER SONG
YES IT WON'T BE LONG
BEFORE THE SUN STARS TO GLOW
LIKE SPANISH GOLD
THIS IS THE KIND OF PLACE 
THAT NEVER GETS OLD

I COULD LIVE AND DIE HERE
MY HEART BELONGS HERE
IT WAS JUST A DREAM
BUT I'D ALREADY SEEN
FELT IT COMING TO YOU AND I
I CAN'T HELP FEEL ITS TIME
A PHOENIX RISING FROM THE ASH
THE SILENT NIGHT ALL AGLOW
CAST AWAY YOUR DOUBTS LET'S GO

By Whatever Means


BY WHATEVER MEANS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

A GENTLE PUSH, A WINK A NUDGE
THE GROUND GAINED
PUTS ME AT THE EDGE
TOO EARLY TO THINK
OF PARADISE FOUND
THAT I LOST
I'LL GET THERE BE DAMNED THE COST

I'M DETERMINED, I'M LOCKED AND LOADED
I'M OILED AND COATED
A RACE I COULDN'T AVOID
I COULD BE UPSET
BUT WHAT WOULD THAT ACCOMPLISH
TO BE ANNOYED
ALL THE MAGIC I KEEP INSIDE
NOW I'LL GET TO TRY
PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS
PLUG REAL HARD
PREDICT EVERY CARD
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIND
AND THE WISDOM THAT GOT ME THIS FAR

BY WHATEVER MEANS I'LL GET THERE
GET WHAT I WANT AND TAKE WHAT I NEED
THEN I'LL FADE OUT WITH YOU
UNDER ANOTHER SETTING SUN
LET THE RUBBER HIT THE ROAD
DON'T LET THE ENGINE GET COLD
I'M LOADED FOR BEAR I'M STOKED
RISKING IT ALL GOING FOR BROKE
RACING THROUGH THE COOL NIGHT
STEADY ON STILL IN THE FIGHT

ON FIRE FOR THE FINISH
IN A HURRY TO WIN
ANYMORE WASTED TIME
WOULD BE A SIN
DON'T NEED ANYMORE DELAYS
AS EACH DAY PASSES
ANOTHER GIFT TOWARDS THE PRIZE
SHIFTING INTO HIGH GEAR
YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY EYES
I DON'T NEED AN INVITATION
I ALREADY HAVE A RESERVATION 

ITS OKAY TO DREAM
NOW GO AND GET IT
AND WHEN YOU TOUCH IT
 SCREAM OH YA
SEE WHAT I CAN DO
I'M HARD WIRED
 SWITCHED ON TO GO
IF YOU DON'T TRY
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

SWALLOW THE PAIN
THE PENDULUM SWINGS
ON OUR WAY TO BETTER THINGS
SKIPPING OVER THE OCEAN
FEELING EVERY WAVE
BECOMING ONE WITH MOTION
AND THE ADRENALINE I CRAVE

A Matter Of Love



A MATTER OF LOVE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

TELL ME YOUR SECRETS
HERE'S MY EAR
SIT REAL CLOSE, TALK TO ME
WHISPER IN YOUR SWEET VOICE
KEEP ON MOVING TOWARDS ME
UNTIL I'VE GOT NO CHOICE
I SWEAR I WON'T MIND A BIT
IN THE SOFT LIGHT OF
THE CANDLES THAT YOU LIT

LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
SOMETHING I COULD DO ALL NIGHT
GET TO KNOW YOU MORE
TASTE YOUR LOVE
TASTE YOUR LIFE
I WANT TO HOLD YOU TIGHT
 SHOULD I BE WORRIED
THAT I'M NOT SURE
IF I CAN STOP
IF MY FEELINGS GET ANY STRONGER
THEN NO I CAN'T STOP
 CAN'T RESIST ANY LONGER 

I FEEL THE WORLD PUSHING AWAY
GIVING US ROOM
A MATTER OF LOVE
AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART
AND NONE TOO SOON
YOU TURNED MY HEAD
YOU TURNED MY HEELS
I LIKE THE WAY IT FEELS
LIKE YOU'RE UNDER SOME KIND
OF MAGIC SPELL
I KNOW YOU'RE UNDER TO 
I LOVE THAT CHANCE

ROADHOUSE ROGUE AND A BUTTERFLY
A POET AND WHO KNOWS WHY 
LET'S JUST CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES
COME TOGETHER TAKE DOWN ALL THE FENCES 
DON'T NEED BARRIERS BETWEEN US
NOW YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE
IF YOU NEED US
IT MIGHT BE FARAWAY
IT MIGHT TAKE A DAY OR TWO
BUT WHEN YOU FIND US
WE WON'T BE BLUE
 WE WON'T TURN OUR BACKS ON YOU

IT'S A MATTER OF LOVE
A MATTER OF PRINCIPAL
AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART
TEAR DOWN THE WALLS
GET IT STARTED
THEY'LL BE NO BETTER TIME
WORD OF LOVE TRAVELS FAST
INTO THE FUTURE GOODBYE TO THE PAST
LOVE ON SUN RAYS GLOWING IN THE MIST
PLAYING LIGHT ON FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN
IN AN AFTERNOON SUN KISSED

Every Sunrise



EVERY SUNRISE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

BEFORE ANOTHER DAY COMES AND GOES
YOU SEE THE WAY THE SUNSET GLOWS
SEE THE COLORS RUN
THE ORANGE TO RED
THE BLUE TO VIOLET 
THEY BLEED INTO THE DUSK

THE STARS BEGIN THEIR SHOW
THE MOON IS NEW AND LOW
THE NIGHTS ALREADY MOVING SLOW
STANDING HERE WATCHING SHADOWS 
JUST ME SURROUNDED
 BY THIS SERENITY
SURE I'M LONELY, I THINK OF LOVES LOST
OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW ENOUGH
TO MOVE ALONG

I PASSED BY THE SWEETEST TIMES
LIVED THROUGH NIGHTMARES COME TO LIFE
I'VE CHASED DREAMS
 AND WATCHED THEM DISAPPEAR 
SURPRISE SURPRISE BEFORE MY EYES
BUT THE FEW I REALIZED
THE ICING ON THE CAKE

NOBODY COULD BE
 COMPLETELY SURE EVERY TIME 
KNOW WHICH ROAD TO TAKE
THE PLACES I'VE SEEN
THAT I DIDN'T MEAN TO
THE MISTAKES I MADE WERE
LESSONS I HAD TO LEARN
BELIEVE ME IT'S NOT HARD
 TO CRASH AND BURN
WHEN YOU'RE LEARNING TO FLY

EVERY SUNRISE THAT I SEE
MAKES ME FEEL GOOD INSIDE
 I SETTLE DOWN IN MY SEAT
AND WATCH THE SCENERY GO BY
SITTING HERE HALF HYPNOTIZED
SEE THE WISDOM SEE THE LOVE
IN MY EYES
HEAR THE WORDS
 THAT MY SOUL CRIES

SOOTHE ME WITH YOUR PRESENCE
DANCE WITH ME BENEATH THE STARS
I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU
TAKE TIME TO BREATHE
THEN TELL ME
WHERE YOU DREAM

SHOW ME THE FIELDS
YOU RAN THROUGH AS A CHILD
THE TREES THAT GAVE YOU SHADE
FROM THE SUN
THE HOUSE YOU LIVED IN
WHEN THE DAY WAS DONE
IF THERE'S A WILL
THERE'S A WAY
SHOULD I WAIT AND SEE
SHOULD MY HOPES BE HIGH
I THINK I FINALLY KNOW
HOW TO FLY
