COMES THE SWEET RAIN



COMES THE SWEET RAIN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

NOW THAT THE SUN IS GOING DOWN
YOU LEAN INTO ME
AN ETERNITY PASSES
THEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
YOUR DREAMS SLOWLY PASSING BY
FROM START TO FINISH
I CAN SEE EACH ONE
AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE
THEIR ALL THE SAME

THERE'S NO ONE TO BLAME
JUST YOU AND I ALONE
SOMEWHERE ALL OURS 
OUR LITTLE HAPPY HOME
UNDER BLUEST SKIES
I SEE ALL THE LOVE
THAT FILLS YOUR EYES
THEN COMES THE SWEET RAIN
IT STOPS BUT IT STARTS AGAIN

YOU'RE BACK WITH A START
YOU JUMP LIKE A SPARK
STILL A WORLD APART
YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES
YOU KNOW I KNOW
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
YOU'RE MINE UNTIL IT STARTS AGAIN
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY FRIEND
MY LOVE RIGHT TO THE VERY END
THE VOICE OF REASON
WHEN I'M NOT SURE
MY ROCK TO GET A HOLD ON
A HEART THAT'S PURE
ALWAYS AND ONLY YOU

WE'LL ENDURE
REACH THE LIFE DESIRED
JUST OUT OF SIGHT
THEN WE'LL STOP AND SIGH
WE'LL STAY HERE UNTIL
OUR LAST GOODBYE
TASTE THE SPOILS
 FROM THE WAR WE WON
 DANCE AROUND THE FIRE 
IN DUSKY LIGHT 
THE EMBERS GLOW
 STILL BURNING BRIGHT

HOW VERY NEAR
CAN SEEM SO FAR
WITH THE WORLD DRIFTING BY
YOU WATCH THEN
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
ALL THAT COMES TO YOU IN DREAMS
ALL THE LOVE YOU GATHER
EVERY BIT IT SEEMS
ALL THAT YOU NEED
TO HOLD ON TO
UNTIL COMES THE SWEET RAIN
FALLING FROM THE SKY
WE'LL STAY HERE UNTIL OUR LAST GOODBYE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY

THE WORDSMITH MILL: MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY: MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2018 WHEN THE SUN COMES UP ON A GOLDEN SKY THE DEW LIKE DIAMONDS IN...

MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY



MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
ON A GOLDEN SKY
THE DEW LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE LIGHT
THE DAY JUST LOOKS RIGHT IN EVERY WAY
WE COULD DRIVE UP TO THE MOUNTAINS
FIND A PLACE BENEATH THE TREES
RIGHT BESIDE THE LAKE

HAVE A PICNIC ON A BLANKET
WHERE THE MOUNTAINS FILL THE SKY
IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG
AND WE'RE ALREADY GONE
PUSHING HARD TO REACH 
THOSE HEIGHTS WERE HEADED FOR
ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL
AND THE OTHER IN YOURS

CHASING MAGIC LENDING TIME
ADDING BEAUTY TO OUR SOULS
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS WE DO TOGETHER
MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME
WITH YOUR SMILING FACE BESIDE ME
LET ME SING MY SONGS FOR YOU
ON THIS ROAD, ON THIS DAY
ON OUR WAY

THE SUN SHINES ON
GIVES RISE TO HOPE
HAPPINESS INSIDE
WE'VE FINALLY REACHED THE PRIZE
A LAKE LAYS THERE 
SPARKLING LIKE A GEM IN THE SUN
MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY
CAUGHT THERE IN TIME
A PIECE OF YOURS AND A PIECE OF MINE

WATER RUNNING DOWN FROM HIGH
RIGHT TO YOU AND I
AND YOU AND I
ITS BOUND TO CHANGE OUR LIFE
MY CONSCIOUSNESS
 MOVES CLOSER TO YOURS
MY LOVE FOR YOU A LIGHT RAIN
THEN IT POURS
YOUR SMILE AS FRESH AS THE DAY 
SWEET AND NEW IN SO MANY WAYS

AS I HOLD YOU IN THE SUN
IN SO MANY WAYS
DRAG YOU AWAY, TO MAKE A DREAM
TOUCHED BY MAGIC WHERE I LIE
IN MEADOWS OF GREEN
KISSED BY THE SUN
AND COVERED BY MISTY  GOLDEN LIGHT

THE ONE YOU LOVE



THE ONE YOU LOVE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

TELL ME ONE MORE THING
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
ANOTHER LITTLE SECRET THAT'S TRUE
SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE THINGS
IN YOUR HEART THAT STAY
MAYBE ITS ME THAT
CAN BRING YOU PEACE OF MIND
 WHEN LIFE IS LESS THAN CO OPERATIVE
GOT YOU DOWN
YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAN ON ME ANYTIME 
I'LL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND 

THERE'S A SONG THAT WE KNOW 
THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED DOWN LOW
LET ME HAVE THIS DANCE WITH YOU
SOMETHING SWEET AND SLOW
AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY'S WATCHING
WISHING IT WAS THEM
AS WE PASS BY AGAIN
GLIDING SLOWLY ACROSS THE FLOOR
HOLDING YOU CLOSE TO ME
 chorus
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE
THE ONE YOU LOVE
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE
THAT GETS TO LOOK IN YOUR EYES
BE THE ONE THAT TAKES YOU HOME
GETS TO LAY BY YOUR SIDE
I'LL NEVER WALK AWAY FROM YOU
I COULDN'T DO THAT
TO YOUR SWEET HEART

SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE 
WHERE LOVE AND DREAMS COLLIDE 
WHERE MEADOWS LAY IN CONSTANT BLOOM
UNDER STARRY SKIES OR A SUNNY AFTERNOON
YOUR LOVE LIES
 SOMEWHERE IN THERE BETWEEN
A SUNRISE ORANGE AND GOLD
REFLECTING IN YOUR EYES 
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY ABOUT IT
THAT I HAVEN'T ALREADY SAID
I FOLLOWED MY HEART
AND LOOK WHERE IT LED
GIRL YOU LIVE INSIDE MY DREAMS
YOU MAKE THEM REAL
THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU
SOMETHING I CANNOT CONCEAL

THIS TIME



THIS TIME

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018


THE WIND CHIMES ARE MAKING SONGS OF GLASS
BLOWING IN THE BREEZE
SWINGING TO AND FRO
THE SUN SHINING DOWN
ON THIS EMPTY TOWN
IT SEEMS EVERYBODY'S GONE AWAY
I CAN'T SAY I REALLY MIND
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT GETS LEFT BEHIND


GOOD OR BAD I'VE HAD MY TURN
AND I'LL HAVE IT AGAIN
BUT JUST FOR NOW ALL THIS IS MINE
SOMEHOW SOMETIMES
THE ENVELOPING SILENCE
FINDS MYSELF CAUGHT UP IN SOME DREAM
WHERE CHRYSTAL BLUE WATERS MEET THE SAND
A FIRE ON THE BEACH LIGHTS THE SKY
WE SIT THERE YOU AND I
WHILE THE SEA WASHES IN
 chorus
 DREAMS DIE HARD WHEN THEY FALL
BUT I'M NOT WORRIED AT ALL
THERE'S ALWAYS A SECOND CHANCE
THIS TIME I WON'T THROW SO MANY STONES
TRY TO CARRY ALL THE ONES I OWN
I'LL LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND
WHAT IS THIS LIFE WITHOUT BEING KIND
 WHEN THE SUN BREAKS OVER A NEW DAY
UP OR DOWN, ITS STILL MINE
RIGHT AS RAIN AND TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE
BETTER THAN YESTERDAY
WE'LL TAKE THE PATH
 WHERE THE WILDFLOWERS BLOOM
SAVOR EACH MOMENT OF A PERFECT AFTERNOON

ONE LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
AND I'LL SEE WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING
ALL THE LOVE YOU'VE BEEN SAVING UP FOR ME
AND YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I AIM SO HIGH
THE BEAUTY AND THE PEACE I FIND
ITS ALL COMING BACK TO ME
ITS STARTING TO SHINE
COME TOMORROW IT WILL ALL BE FINE
I GUESS ONE MORE NIGHT WON'T MATTER
THIS TIME, I WON'T THROW SO MANY STONES

SOMEWHERE UP AHEAD



SOMEWHERE UP AHEAD

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

DECEMBER 2018


SOMEWHERE SOMEHOW
SURELY COMES A TIME
WHEN THE STARS ALL LINE UP
JUST FOR YOU
A PERFECT TRIBUTE
AN END A NEW BEGINNING
FATE STOPPED BY DREAMS
 SOMETIMES YOU WONDER
IF YOU'VE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
YOU GET THE FEELING
YOU'RE STILL
 IN YESTERDAYS RAIN
REACHING FOR TOMORROW IN VAIN 

THE STEADY SONG OF RAIN
GOES SILENT
TURNING INTO FALLING SNOW
THE WORLD JUST STALLS
WHILE THE SKY
 PAINTS THE GROUND IN WHITE
LIKE A REFERENCE TO YOUR LIFE

chorus

SOMEWHERE UP AHEAD THERE'S HOME
THERE'S HOPE THERE'S WARMTH
PEACE AND LOVE
AND NOTHING BUT THINGS
THAT TURNED OUT RIGHT
MY WISH FOR YOU 
ON THIS DARK NIGHT
THAT YOU FIND YOUR WAY
WITH THIS GUIDING STAR
TO MARK YOUR PATH
SEE HOW FAR
HOW CLOSE YOU REALLY ARE

SOMETIMES WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST
THERE'S STILL THAT THREAD OF HOPE
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE WORLD TURNS DARK
DON'T SHED A TEAR
YOU'RE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
YOU'RE SO NEAR
 INTO THE WIND, FACE IN THE SUN
LOST IN THE CROWD
LOOKING FOR CLUES
EACH ONE A LITTLE HARDER TO FIND
BUT YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER
SO YOU DON'T MIND

WATCH THE FALLING SNOW
LIGHT A BLUE NIGHT SKY
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW
THAT YOU KNOW WHY
 YOU KNOW WHAT AND WHO 
YOU HAD THE ANSWERS ALL ALONG
SOMETIMES INSTEAD OF LOOKING OUT
YOU HAVE TO LOOK IN
AND IF YOU EVER FIND
YOURSELF THERE AGAIN
YOU'LL KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO

SOMEWHERE UP AHEAD THERE'S HOME..

THE WORDSMITH MILL: BEAUTIFUL INSIDE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: BEAUTIFUL INSIDE: BEAUTIFUL INSIDE WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2018 SUMMER SONG DRIFTING THROUGH THE WIDE OPEN ONLY BLUE SKIES FOREVER ...

BEAUTIFUL INSIDE



BEAUTIFUL INSIDE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

SUMMER SONG DRIFTING THROUGH
THE WIDE OPEN
ONLY BLUE SKIES FOREVER
PULLING US LIKE
MAGNET AND STEEL
WHERE BLUE WATER
WASHES THE SAND
 A MORE PERFECT DAY
SURELY NEVER WAS

STEEPED IN THE RAYS
OF THE SUN
THE MAGIC TOUCHES LOVE
ANOTHER GIFT FROM ABOVE
AND THE SUN GOING DOWN
WAVES OF COLOR IN THE SKY
OTHER WORLDLY 
A DREAM SCAPE ON THE RUN
CHASED BY MOON AND STARS

 CHORUS:

THE HEAVENS ALIGHT
REVEALING EARTHBOUND AWE
AND SPECULATION
WE DRIFT AGAIN
ON WIDE OPEN SEA
CAPTURED BY THE MAGIC
OF THE EVE
WE'RE SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE
SEE THE SHOOTING STARS
MAKING FOR THE SEA
A PICTURE PERFECT POSTCARD
FROM YOU AND ME
A NIGHT THAT JUST PICKS YOU UP
AND SWEEPS YOU AWAY
INTO A WORLD WHERE
TIME ISN'T A THING 

A SWEET MEMORY TO TAKE AWAY
AS NIGHT BEGINS TO SHOW
THE SIGNS OF STRAIN
GIVING WAY TO A NEWBORN DAY
THE HORIZON LIGHTS UP
A CAULDRON OF COLOR
SPLASHED THE SKY
THERE'S ONLY YOU AND I
DRIFTING ON AN ENDLESS SEA

WATER AND SKY A BLUR
WHERE THEY MEET A MYSTERY
THE LAND AN ETERNITY AWAY
KISSED BY THE SUN
SOOTHED BY THE WAVES
BLESSED BE THE GODS
PULLED BY THE TIDE
NO LESS THAN BEAUTIFUL INSIDE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: IF WE HAD TIME

THE WORDSMITH MILL: IF WE HAD TIME: WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON 2018 ONE DAY YOU WAKE UP AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT THE SAME YOU'RE SOMEONE ELSE FROM...

IF WE HAD TIME






WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

ONE DAY YOU WAKE UP
AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT THE SAME
YOU'RE SOMEONE ELSE
FROM ALL THE CHANGE
YOU'D LOOK INTO IT MORE
BUT YOU'RE GETTING SHORT OF TIME
AND PATIENCE IS WEARING THIN
A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME

YOU STAGGER IN
 WITH ALL YOUR SWAG 
BUT ITS ALWAYS THE SAME
ITS STILL A DRAG ON ME
DRIVEN TO CONQUER AND DIVIDE
I COUNT ON LIFE TO PROVIDE

MAYBE THOSE DAYS ARE PAST
 I CAN STILL TASTE
THE ADRENALINE
BUT IT NEVER LASTS
IT FADES AWAY LIKE TIME
MISSED ANOTHER CHANCE
THERE'S NO OLIVE BRANCH
NO PEACE THIS DAY

CHORUS 

A SHOT IN THE DARK
THE ARCHER MISSED HIS MARK
AND SO WE WAIT
IF WE HAD TIME
FOR GOLD AND SILVER
AND PEACE OF MIND
ELUSIVE DREAMS
ALL THAT REMAINS
CHASING LIGHT, MISTY NIGHT
A CRYSTAL MOON
WASHED BY THE CLOUDS

WE MAKE ALL KINDS OF WISHES
BUT NEVER OUT LOUD
WE TOSS WE TURN
WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN
THE ANSWER LIES IN LETTING GO
NIGHTS DARK, DAY IS LIGHT
BUT IF NOTHING CHANGES
ITS STILL NOT ALRIGHT

I'M THE SAME, BUT I'M NOT THE SAME
I'M SOMEONE ELSE
FROM THE CONSTANT AND
NEVER ENDING CHANGE
TIME PASSES BY
FALLING LIKE SUMMER RAIN
TRYING, TRYING, TO GET INSIDE

DECEMBER SKIES



DECEMBER SKIES

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

DEC. 2018


 MYSTERY LIES IN THE COLD
SKIES OF DECEMBER
AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER
BACK WHEN THINGS WOULD NEVER CHANGE
THEN ONE DAY, IT ALL WENT AWAY
EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WAS GONE
THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS 
SUPPOSED TO GO ALONG 
I WOKE UP I WAS ALL ALONE
MUST BE A REASON I'M NOT GOING

I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD LAUGH OR CRY
ALL I CAN DO IS SIT HERE
AND WONDER WHY
ITS A DIFFERENT WORLD TODAY
GETTING SMALLER ALL THE TIME
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT FINDS
ITS ALL A LITTLE STRANGE
THIS FEELING THAT NEVER LETS ME GO
THIS FEELING THAT DOES ITS BEST
TO HAUNT MY SOUL

LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT I LOST
LEFT BEHIND
SOMETHING THAT SLIPPED MY MIND
THERE'S NO RAINBOWS
IN DECEMBER SKIES
ONLY HOLLOW HELLOS AND GOODBYES 
COLD WINDS BLOWING
DRIVING THE SNOW
NOWHERE TO GO, I CAN'T SEE
I CAN'T SAY I MIND

I GUESS I'LL STAY PUT
STARE INTO THIS FIRE
GET LOST SOMEWHERE INSIDE MY THOUGHTS
WHEN THE SKIES OF DECEMBER
ARE COMING DOWN COLD AND GRAY
AND THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS PAINTED IN WHITE
YOU CAN HARDLY TELL 
THE DAY FROM THE NIGHT
TIME SLOWS DOWN, STICKS AROUND

TUCKED UP INSIDE YOUR LOVE
BRACED FROM WINTERS NIGHT
GUESS ITS REALLY NOT SO BAD
LOOKING BACK ON THE TIMES I'VE HAD
MAYBE TOMORROW
WE'LL GET TO SEE THE SUN SHINING DOWN
KEEPING WINTER ON THE RUN
IF THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN GET
THAT WILL DO YOU BET
HERE UNDER DECEMBER SKIES
