COSMIC PEARLS



COSMIC PEARLS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019


SUNDOWN WAKES THE NIGHT
THE MOON AND THE STARS
SHINING DOWN ON YOU
DRAPED IN STARS
LIKE COSMIC PEARLS
YOU LOOK LIKE SOME KIND
OF MAGIC ENCHANTRESS 
SO MUCH I TIP MY HAT AND BOW

YOU LIGHT THE CANDLES AND SMILE
YOU SIT CLOSE TO ME
THERE GOES MY MEMORY
I'M ONLY NOW FOR YOU
THESE COMING MOMENTS
JUST YOU AND I
WE'LL GET TO TO
AS SURE AS EARTH AND SKY

NO TIME TO WONDER
ABOUT THE SPELL
THAT YOU'VE GOT ME UNDER
WHENEVER YOU LOOK DEEP INSIDE
ARE YOU HAPPY YOU CAN SEE
WHERE MY LOVE LIES
I SEE YOU ALREADY KNOW
HOW MANY WAYS THERE IS
TO SHOW ME

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
I NEED TO MARK MY TIME
LET YOUR FEELINGS
GUIDE YOU, OVERLAP WITH MINE
IS IT TOO EARLY 
FOR YOU TO TELL ME
YOU'D NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE
TELL ME YOUR TOMORROWS
ARE ONLY MINE 

WILL YOUR ANSWER
WEIGH THE FUTURE DOWN
OR LET IT RISE LIKE THE SUN
DRYING EACH DROP OF DEW
CLIMBING HIGHER IN THE SKY
JUST AS YOU AND I
JOIN HANDS LEARN TO FLY
ONE LESSON AT A TIME

STEALING YOUR LONESOME
BEGGING YOUR CHARM
TURNING MY HEAD
TOWARDS YOU
YOU JUST STAND THERE
DRAPED IN STARS
LIKE COSMIC PEARLS
NOW WHAT AM I TO SAY

NORTHERN LIGHTS



NORTHERN LIGHTS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

YOU'VE RUN ON EMPTY
YOU'VE RUN OVERFILLED
YOU SWALLOWED THE BLUE PILL
YOU LEARNT THE TRUTH
THERE'S CHAINS THAT
YOU CAN'T SEE
YOU'VE MET THE ILLUSION
OF BEING FREE

PEOPLE CHANGING SIDES
LOYALTY FALTERS
 AND SLIDES AWAY
ON THE OUTGOING TIDES
YOU WELCOME THE NIGHT
WHEN EACH DAYS DONE
THE SHADOWS TRIP
 ON THE DIM LIGHT

EVENING STARS
TURN TO GOLD
NORTHERN LIGHTS
BEND AND FOLD
YOU THINK UNTIL YOU
 CAN'T THINK ANYMORE
YOUR EYES ON THE SKIES
YOU DRIFT AWAY
AS TIME SLIDES CLOSER
TO ANOTHER DAY

A MEANS TO AN END
THE LIFE YOU PICTURED 
STILL A FANTASY
YOU WORK ON THOSE CHAINS
YOU'RE ALMOST FREE
BUT YOU'RE STILL NOT THERE
JUST LIKE ME

AFTERGLOW



AFTERGLOW

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

2019


ON THE WINGS OF CHANGE
ON THE HEELS OF INDECISION 
TIME DOESN'T STOP TO LOOK
IT GOES SAILING RIGHT PAST YOU

LIKE THE STARS 
YOU COME AND GO
YOU SHINE IN STELLAR AFTERGLOW
ANCIENT SYMBOLS  THAT YOU SEE
JUST MIGHT BE A CLUE
A KEY, AN ANSWER TO
A MYSTERY

YOU CARRY ON LIKE
YOU DON'T KNOW
ALL YOU NEEDS INSIDE
YOU ARE READY TO GO
ITS ALL BEEN ARRANGED
COME DANCE WITH FATE
OR AT LEAST
GIVE IT A TRY

DON'T JUST
 STAND THERE AND SMILE
A LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING
IF ITS NOT WORTHWHILE
I COULD OF TOLD YOU
I KNEW
FROM THE START
THAT YOU WERE
A PART IN THIS
THOUGHT YOU KNEW
YOU HAD IT ALL INSIDE

YOU'VE MORE THAN 
GOT IT MADE
THERE'S NO NEED TO WAIT
LET LOVE AND INSPIRATION
LEAD US AWAY
THE DRIVE TO GET FROM HERE
TO THE NEXT DAY
STAND BESIDE YOU
DO MY BEST
TO MAKE YOU SMILE
MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE

LOOK OUT AT THE SKY
THIS DAYS MEANT TO SAIL
LIFT THE ANCHOR
WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME TO KILL
AND IN THOSE MOMENTS
THAT YOU COME AND GO
YOU SHINE IN STELLAR AFTERGLOW 
INNOCENCE I DON'T KNOW
NOT THE WAY THE MOON
LIGHTS YOUR PATH

I'M NOT SAYING
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU'D TAKE TO THIS
EMBRACE IT LIKE A WARRIOR
BURN EACH BRIDGE WE CROSS
HAMMER DOWN
WE'RE MAKING TRACKS
JUST THE TRUTH
ONLY THE FACTS

BRIDGE




BRIDGE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

THE REASONS MANY
OR MAYBE THEIR FEW
JUST SEEMS TO ME
THEY KEEP RUNNING THROUGH

LAYING ON THE GRASS
LOOKING AT A SUMMER SKY 
THERE'S ALWAYS ONE MORE
THING TO DECIDE
ALWAYS PUSHING
CONVENTION ASIDE

DREAMS THAT CAME AND WENT
BENT ON NEVER COMING TRUE
I'VE HAD MY SHARE
I KNOW YOU HAVE TO

THE CHANGE I FOUND
WHEN IT CAME AROUND
I WAS READY, I WAS IN
IF I WAS EVER THERE
I'M BACK AGAIN
BACK IN A GOOD PLACE
WHERE I BELONG
I SHOULD HAVE
 BEEN HERE YESTERDAY
BUT IT TOOK TOO LONG

MAYBE I SHOULD
 CUT MY LOSSES 
STOP KEEPING SCORE
MAYBE I WOULD SEE
A LITTLE MORE

MAYBE ITS JUST A MATTER
OF WHICH ADDICTION
 I SHOULD FEED
YOU GET IT ALL RIGHT
YOU GET IT ALL WRONG
TOO MANY TIMES
AND ITS ALL GONE

GIVE ME A BRIDGE
THAT I CAN CROSS
AT THE VERY END
THERE'S ALWAYS
SOMETHING LOST
ITS ALL ABOUT SURRENDER
BE IT BITTERSWEET 
DON'T QUESTION 
THE REASONS
YOU KNOW WHY
JUST KEEP HOLDING
YOUR HEAD UP HIGH

THE WORDSMITH MILL: I AM ,I WILL: I AM, I WILL WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2019 I AM THE DREAMER I AM THE DREAM I AM THE NIGHTMARE I AM THE SCREAM  ...

I AM ,I WILL



I AM, I WILL

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

I AM THE DREAMER
I AM THE DREAM
I AM THE NIGHTMARE
I AM THE SCREAM 

I'M THE OCEAN
I'M THE SAND
I AM THE SEEKER
I AM THE SOUGHT
I RUN, I STOP

PART OF EVERYTHING
I'VE SEEN
A LITTLE BIT OF BLUE
A LITTLE GREEN

I'M THE RAVEN
I'M THE DOVE
WHO SAYS I'M NOT
THE EAGLE 
THAT SOARS ABOVE

I'M DOWN IN THE CIRCLE 
I'M UP IN THE SQUARE
DOWN BY THE RIVER
YOU'LL FIND ME THERE

I'M ME, I'M YOU
I SEE A MIRROR
I LOOK
 STRAIGHT THROUGH
I'M SO HOT
I'M SO COOL
A LITTLE SERIOUS
A LITTLE BIT
OF A FOOL

I'M SUNSHINE
IN BLUE SKIES
I'M RAIN UNTIL IT DRIES
I AM EARTH, I'M SKY
NOTHING GETS BY
THAT I CAN'T
PASS UP OR HIDE

IF LOVE COMES
THEN PASSES BY
LEAVES YOU EMPTY
MAKES YOU CRY
I'M THE REASON
YOU DON'T HIDE
IN YOUR SADNESS

I AM YOUR
 HAPPY AFTER RHYME 
LOOKS LIKE
I'M RIGHT ON TIME
ITS NOT ME ITS YOU
TAKE THIS THING
TURN IT AROUND
I'LL BE THE SILENCE
WHILE YOU BUILD
I'LL BE THE SOUND

I'M THE DARK
UNTIL THE DAWN
THEN I'M LIGHT
FOR YOU TO CARRY ON
I AM YOUR LOSS
I AM YOUR GAIN

FAST OR SLOW
I'LL BE YOUR WORK
I'LL BE YOUR PLAY
THE WORDS WHEN
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY

I'M THE PUSH
I'M THE SHOVE
THE LITTLE VOICE INSIDE
YOU CAN'T IGNORE
YOU CAN'T DENY
TAKE YOUR LOWS
AND MAKE THEM HIGH

PAINT THE SKY



PAINT THE SKY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

2018

WHERE DO I RUN TO
WHEN I'M DOWN
WHO DO I TURN TO
WHEN I TURN AROUND
WHO IS ALWAYS ON MY SIDE
ALWAYS
LIFTS UP MY LIFE

YOUR LOVE IS NEVER ENDING
YOU FEEL INSIDE
WHERE NO ONES EVER BEEN
LIKE A SUNSET
ABOVE THE SEA
YOU ADD TO THE MYSTERY
YOU SAY HOLD ME TIGHT
TIL THE MORNING LIGHT

A PALETTE  OF COLORS
TO PAINT THE SKY
BORN OF INSPIRATION
THAT STICKS TO ME
LIKE GLUE
THE GRATITUDE
 IS ALL MINE
LATELY MY LIFE 
HAS BEEN SO KIND
THE SWEETNESS IN YOU
THAT I FIND
TO PAINT THE SKY

WHAT WAS BLUE IS BRIGHT
SINCE YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE
EACH DAY NEW
CLOSER TO YOU
AS OUR LOVE COLLIDES
BLUE EYES, BLUE SKIES
YOU DECIDE
IF FOREVER IS A THING

SUMMER GODDESS



SUMMER GODDESS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

REMEMBER A DAY
SO FARAWAY
SO REMOVED FROM NOW
FONDEST MEMORIES
NEVER SLIP AWAY
 
PICTURE YOUR FACE
LIT BY THE SUN
LOOKING OUT TO SEA
FILLED WITH WONDER
YOUR FOOTSTEPS 
IN THE SAND 
THE BREEZE IN YOUR HAIR
WHEN I SAW YOU THERE

SUMMER GODDESS
TANNED TO BROWN
EYES THAT SPARKLED
LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE WAVES
THE PLEASURE THE PAIN
THE JOY
THE HELLOS THE GOODBYES
ALL  OR NOTHING
HALFWAY WON'T DO
TEN YEARS FROM NOW
WILL I REMEMBER YOU

WILL YOU BE AT MY SIDE
DOWN BY THE SEA
LOOKING FOR BOTTLES
WASHED UP ON THE SAND
WILL YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES
WILL YOU TAKE MY HAND
HEARTS RISING LIKE THE TIDE
STILL IN LOVE, HAPPY INSIDE

OR WILL I STAND THERE
ALL ALONE
A LONELY FIGURE
ON THE BEACH
YOUR LOVE DISAPPEARED
YOUR LOVE OUT OF REACH

WAVES OF UNCERTAINTY
TIDES THAT STEAL THE SAND
REMNANTS OF LOVE
THAT TRIED TO BLOOM
WASHED OUT TO SEA
NOTHING LEFT JUST MEMORIES
IN THE CORNER OF MY MIND
EVERY NOW AND AGAIN 
I TAKE THEM OUT
HOLD THEM TO THE LIGHT
TRY TO SEE 
WHAT I MIGHT HAVE MISSED
I SHOULD OF HELD ON TIGHT

CAN'T TELL MY TEARS FROM THE RAIN



CAN'T TELL MY TEARS FROM THE RAIN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

MISTY RAIN
FALLING ON THE NIGHT
THROUGH THE STREETLIGHT
I STAND AND WATCH
ALONE AND EMPTY 
LIKE A DRUM
FEELING LIKE I'M DONE
ONCE AGAIN I LOSE
NO WAY DOWN
THE ROAD I CHOOSE

I NEVER SEEM TO LEARN
I NEVER SEEM SEEM TO CARE
EVEN IF I DO, I CAN'T WIN
HOW CAN I BE REAL
THE STORM INSIDE I FEEL
NEVER SEEMS TO END

MAYBE I SHOULD BE ALONE
MY HEARTS THERE
BUT MY HEAD ISN'T HOME
I'VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP
ON EVER FINDING MY WAY
TO A TIME THAT
I DON'T HAVE TO PAY
FOR EVERY MISTAKE 
I NEED THAT KIND OF BREAK
TO MOVE AHEAD
MAKE ALL THE RIGHT CHOICES
FINISH FIRST INSTEAD

MAYBE I WOULDN'T BE HERE
IN THE RAIN
MORE OF ANYTHING
OTHER THAN THE SAME
HOW MUCH TIME 
COULD THERE BE

STANDING HERE IN THE STREET
I WONDER
SILENCE CAN'T TELL MY TEARS
FROM THE RAIN
WISHING MY LIFE WOULD CHANGE
BUT ALAS ITS JUST ME
DID I GET TOO DEEP
THAT I CAN'T SEE
THE WAY THINGS REALLY ARE
THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE

MIDNIGHT COMES AND GOES
THE RAIN STOPS
THE WIND STILL BLOWS
FEELING LIKE THIS EMPTY STREET
WHAT ELSE IS NEW
I'M WONDERING
 COULD THIS BE NEAR THE END
WILL TOMORROW BREAK OR BEND
JUST A LITTLE
ENOUGH TO BUY SOME TIME

A BEAUTIFUL SUN



A BEAUTIFUL SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019


TIME WAS WHEN I WAS SURE
I KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING
MARKED THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN THE ROAD AND HOME
TO HESITATE WAS TO LOSE
MOVED SO FAST
FROM THE FIRST
TO THE LAST

TOOK ME FARAWAY 
STANDING ON DIFFERENT GROUND
MY POINT OF VIEW
THE SAME
A DIFFERENT DAY
ANOTHER GAME
 I LISTEN TO THE VOICES
IN MY HEART
THEY TELL ME WHEN ITS OVER
AND WHERE TO START

A NEW DAY DAWNING, ALL AROUND ME
A BEAUTIFUL SUN, BATHING MY SOUL
THROUGH THE MIST, BIRDS SING
 I CAN'T SEE
AND THOSE VOICES IN MY HEART
ARE CALLING ME
I LISTEN CAREFULLY
FIND MYSELF ON THE ROAD
I'M NOT BENT OR BROKEN
BUT WHEN THOSE
  VOICES HAVE SPOKEN 
ITS DOWN THE ROAD 
IN THE COMPANY OF ANGELS

I FIND MYSELF IN TALL TREES
MY EYES MEET MOUNTAINS
RISING TO GREET THE SUN
NO DOUBT, NO SECOND THOUGHTS
I'M WHERE I SHOULD BE
HALFWAY THROUGH A DAY
A NEW MOON ON THE WAY
IT WON'T BE LONG
ITS SHINING DOWN ON ME

AND WHAT I WANT TO BE
I WILL
BREATHE IN THE MYSTIC
TIL I'VE HAD MY FILL
TIME CAN FIND ME IN
SOME OTHER DREAM
THE ONES I LEFT BEHIND ME
THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN
TIME, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN
I'VE BEEN FALLING
WELL I DIDN'T KNOW
I COULDN'T SEE
DIDN'T KNOW, HOW FAR DOWN
IT WAS GOING TO BE
