THIS LONELY LINE

THIS LONELY LINE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

AS THE WHISTLE BLOWS

THAT OLD TRAIN SLOWS

OUT THERE ON THE LINE

RUNNING UNDER THE STARS

I CAN HEAR THE WHEELS

ROLLING AWAY

LEAVING ONLY SILENCE AND

MOONLIT SAGE

THEN TIME TURNED THE PAGE

NIGHT INTO DAY

SLOW AS CHANGE CAN BE

AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE

IT DOESN'T

LIVE HERE AT ALL

TIME NEARLY STANDS STILL

OLD WAYS

 TRIED AND TRUE 

WILL ALWAYS GET YOU

THROUGH A DAY

HARD TO SURVIVE

BUT EVERY MINUTE

WORTH THE FIGHT

THAT OLD TRAIN

 DON'T RUN ANYMORE 

THE ONE PLACE

TIME FORGOT

THIS LONELY LINE

IS ALL I'VE GOT

NOT MUCH EVER CHANGES

NEVER SOMETHING NEW

JUST THE WATER

IN THE RIVER

RUNNING THROUGH

AND THE SEASONS CHANGING

EACH ONE MORE

STUBBORN THAN THE LAST

NOTHING MOVED FAST

NOT EVEN TIME

FREE AS THE WIND

ITS NOT SO HARD TO TAKE

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

THE SERENITY GETS INSIDE

FEEL YOURSELF

BEGIN TO SLIDE

INTO A REALM

SURROUNDED BY THE STARS

COVERED BY THE MOON

STEP INSIDE A DREAM

THE WORLD CAN WAIT

WHILE I CRAWL INSIDE

TO INVESTIGATE

PART OF THE MYSTERY

A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

A CHAPTER IN THE BOOK

MAKE YOU STOP

FOR A SECOND LOOK

FACE OF SOMEONE 

YOU MIGHT KNOW 

STANDING RIGHT INSIDE

YOUR LOVE

LIKE SOME KIND OF SIGN

ON THIS LONELY LINE

MAYBE IF TIMES

GIVEN A CHANCE

IT JUST MIGHT CHANGE

EVERYTHING

TURN ANY DOUBTS AROUND

THROW THEM IN THE RING

SOMEWHERE 

ON THIS LONELY LINE

JUST ON

THE OTHER SIDE

SOMEONES TRYING TO FIND ME

CHANGE WHAT IS

INTO WHAT COULD BE

THE NEXT SHINING MOMENT

THE NEXT SHINING MOMENT

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

MEADOWLARK SINGING

WILDFLOWERS SWAY 

IN GENTLE BREEZE

SUN LIGHTS UP THE MORNING DEW

SHINING DOWN ON GREEN

AND THE BEAUTY I HAVE SEEN

THAT I'VE TRIED TO SHARE

MEANS ALL THE MORE

WITH SOMEONE THERE

JUST TO SEE

TO FEEL

BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH

TO CONFIRM THAT ITS REAL

ITS HERE ITS THERE

IN THE DARK OF NIGHT

IN THE MORNING LIGHT

EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

ALMOST THE SAME

SOMETHING I HAVEN'T SEEN

SOMEWHERE I'VE NEVER BEEN

WHERE'S THE NEXT SHINING MOMENT

THAT STIRS UP EMOTIONS

FROM DEEP INSIDE

KINDRED SPIRITS RISE

THE FEELINGS GOOD

ON A HILL FARAWAY

THE SEA FAR BELOW

GENTLE WAVES

ROLLING TO THE SHORE

THE SUN WAS KINDLY FALLING

DOWN FROM BLUE SKIES

HEAR THE SEAGULLS CRIES

EACH BOAT ON THE HORIZON

A MYSTERY TO ME

ANOTHER DAY

MAGIC IN THE RAIN

JUST A MIST AS IT FELL

A WEEPING SKY

THE CLOUDS BREAK

THE SUN COMES TO

THE RESCUE

A RAINBOW MAKES IT ALRIGHT

FINGERS ON THIS BEAUTY

SOMETHING YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN

NOW I'M HERE WITH YOU

WHERE MOUNTAINS RISE

DOWN AT THE RIVER

ON THE OTHER SIDE

IT GETS HARDER EVERY TIME  

TO SAY GOODBYE

NEVER LEAVE

THERE WOULD BE NO NEED

STAY RIGHT HERE

WITH YOU AT MY SIDE

GIVE YOU ALL MY TIME

THE HEART THAT'S BEEN

UP AND DOWN THESE LINES

SOFT PUSH

SOFT PUSH

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON,  MAY 2019

MIDNIGHT

BLUEST BLACK

LIT UP BY THE STARS

YOU SIT BESIDE ME

NO ONE SAYS A WORD

WHISPERING PINES

ALL YOU HEARD

CAN YOU FEEL IT

LIKE WAVES

COMING THROUGH

THAT YOU CAN'T STOP 

ALL I HAVE

IS WHAT I FEEL

I FEEL

YOUR LOVE

TAKE ME AWAY

DROP ME IN BLISS

JUST ONE LONG

SWEET KISS

NOW THOSE STARS DON'T

 SEEM SO FARAWAY 

STEPPING STONES

STAIRWAY TO THE SKY

LIT WITH STARS

ON EVERY SIDE

AS THE NIGHT

MOVES ON

I FEEL SO

 CLOSE TO YOU

CAN YOU FEEL IT TO

I MIGHT NOT HAVE

ALL THE ANSWERS

FOR YOU

BUT I'LL MOVE

HEAVEN AND EARTH

TO HELP YOU FIND

GIVE YOU SOME

PEACE OF MIND

WE'RE WEARING

THE HEAVENS

ALL AROUND US

NEXT DAYS

ALREADY HERE

c h o r u s

THE SOFT PUSH

THE NEED

DREAMS TO FEED

WITH YOU

INTO YOUR EYES

I GAZE

FINALLY THROUGH

LAYING BESIDE YOU

DOING MY BEST

TO READ YOUR MIND

IN THE WHISPERING PINES

JUST BENEATH THE STARS

YOU SHINE IN MY LIFE

ALL YOUR LIGHT

ALWAYS FIND MY WAY

 BACK TO YOU

YOU MAKE ME FEEL

LEAD ME TO BELIEVE 

I WAS MISSED

AND SO IT GOES ON

LIKE THIS

IF THE SKY

 SHOULD FALL

I'LL BE

 RIGHT BESIDE YOU

IF THERE'S NO MORE

THAT'S ALL

WHEN NEVER

 TURNS TO NOW

I'LL SAVE YOU

I'LL SAVE US SOMEHOW

WE SWORE

IT WOULDN'T END

MORE ENDEARED 

DEEPER EVERY DAY

THE SOFT PUSH..

SWEET DAYS NEVER END

SWEET DAYS NEVER END

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

TIME NEVER KNEW

DIDN'T TELL YOU 

MOVED LIKE WATER

DOWN THE RIVER

PASSING IN THE NIGHT UNSEEN

JUST THE MOON

IN BETWEEN

REALITY AND A DREAM

IS JUST WHAT IT SEEMS

ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW

YOU'RE NOT AFRAID

TO LET GO

TELL ME IF ITS WORTH IT

TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL

WHAT KEEPS IT REAL FOR YOU

IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO

TO GAIN YOUR FAVOR

BE MORE LIKE YOU

 ACCEPT WHAT COMES WITH GRACE

SAVE A FACE OF DISMAY

NEVER GET CAUGHT UP

IN THE THINGS

THAT BRING YOU DOWN

SOMETHING THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN

FELT OR BEEN

THAT CUT AND DRIED

THAT CLEAN

AND WHAT I SEE

IS BEAUTIFUL

JUST ANOTHER REASON

TO LOVE YOU MORE

WHEN I THINK I CAN'T

YOU PROVE ME WRONG

YOU KNEW ALL ALONG

IT WAS ME

 THAT WOULD BE BESIDE YOU

THE HONOR ONLY GROWS WITH TIME

LIKE A STORY

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

SOMEWHERE AFTER ONCE UPON A TIME

ALL YOURS, ALL MINE

WE GET TO FIND OUT HOW IT ENDS

ANY WAY YOU LOOK

SWEET DAYS NEVER END

THEIR NOT FORGOTTEN

RIGHT HERE IN MY HEART

EACH ONE WITH YOU

IF I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU

HERE IT IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU

YOU CAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES

TOMORROW AHEAD OF TIME

MOONLIGHT IN YOUR HAIR

HAPPY JUST TO SEE ME

I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS

YOUR LOVE ALWAYS HEALS

NEED YOU IN MY LIFE

ONE MORE KISS

UNTIL THE NEXT ONE

SOMETHING IN THE WIND

SMELL IT IN THE AIR

SWEET ATTRACTIVE CHARM

I'M YOURS YOU KNOW

WHERE I AM

VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

MAY 2019 

THE TREES ALL PAINTED

IN MORNING SUNLIGHT

THE BIRDS

GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY WITH SONG

LAZY WATER SHIMMERS

IN GLORIOUS LIGHT

LEAVES TWIST AND FLUTTER

IN A RESTLESS BREEZE

HERE AND FAR AS YOU CAN SEE

A DAY FIT FOR A CROWN

A DAY POINTED UP

INSTEAD OF DOWN 

DREAMY SKIES DRESSED IN BLUE

CLOUDS SCARCE AND FEW

THE SILENCE IS ROARING

CAN YOU HEAR IT TO

WHAT IS IT SAYING

WHAT ARE YOU FEELING

A MEASURE A HINT

THE DAY AS IT GLOWS

WILL HEAL BY THE SUN

PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR 

ONE BY ONE

 NOW OR NEVER

THE TIME IS RIGHT

AN OWL STIRRED TO FLIGHT

WINGS SILENTLY FROM THE TREES

SO MUCH GOT INSIDE

MY HEART, MY SOUL

MY LIFE

I NEED ROOM TO BREATHE

BIG OPEN SKIES

A PLACE I WOULDN'T LEAVE

CRYSTAL WATERS

VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

BIRDS SING THEIR MERRY SONGS

FROM THE TREES

ITS ONLY THE HEARTBEAT 

OF THE DAY YOU HEAR

WHEN THEY LEAVE 

A SILENT REFLECTION

A SNAPSHOT OF A MOMENT

CAUGHT IN TIME

IT WAS ONLY A MOMENT

BUT IT WAS YOURS AND MINE

THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING

LEAVING ITS MARK IN THE SKY

FADES IN THE BLACK LIGHT 

OF DUSK

SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY STARS

DREAMS WITH EYES WIDE OPEN

SEE THE MOON ON THE OTHER SIDE

OF YOUR SMILE

WE GO DOWN IN CELESTIAL LIGHT

THE FRESHNESS OF THE NIGHT

SENDS US ON OUR WAY

CURIOSITY SATED 

THE SLEEP OF A THOUSAND DREAMS

A VISIT TO EVERY STAR

QUICKSILVER WATER

QUICKSILVER WATER

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER

IN THE MORNING SUN

SEE THE FOG

BURNING OFF THE TREES

SWIRLING EDDIES

THE WATER A KALEIDOSCOPE

OF JEWELS 

EAGLES ON THE CURRENTS

HIGH ABOVE

AS THE RIVER TWISTS AND BENDS

ON ITS WAY IT

NEVER SEEMS TO END

A REVERED SILENCE JUST THE PADDLES

FINDING THEIR WAY

THROUGH QUICKSILVER WATER

ALL THE MAGIC BELONGED TO ME

NO MORE OF A MYSTERY

I KNEW THAT SOMEWHERE 

ALONG THE WAY 

SOMETHING I HELD DEAR

THE ABSOLUTE FREEDOM

THE ULTIMATE THRILL

ALMOST FORGOTTEN

LEFT BEHIND

THE CALL OF THE RIVER

THE PLEASURE IS MINE

I'LL SHARE IT WITH YOU

I'D BE GLAD YOU CAME

SPREAD OUR WINGS

LEARN MORE

 ABOUT OURSELVES  AGAIN

SOMETHING NEW AROUND

EACH BEND

SEARCHING FOR

 THE PERFECT PLACE 

TO PUT IN

START A FIRE

UNDER THE STARS

THE NIGHTS MAGIC

NEVER FAR

I CAN SEE IT

LOOKING IN YOUR EYES 

I NEED YOU TONIGHT

RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU ARE

SEE WHERE YOU FIT IN

SEE WHERE YOU BELONG

AN ENCHANTING MELODY

AN EVENING SONG

THE RIVER LIT BY THE MOON

STILL A WESTERN GLOW

SLEEP COMES EASY

YOU FALL IN HARD LIKE ME

DOWN BY THE RIVER

SEE THE SUMMER PASSING BY

YOU CATCH SOME IN YOUR HAND

YOU PUT IT IN YOUR SOUL

DOWN BY THE RIVER

YOU JUST LET IT GO

DOWN BY THE RIVER

WAITING FOR YOU

RESTLESS SUN

RESTLESS SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

I SEE, I FEEL, THE DISTANCE IS REAL

A GAP I'D CLOSE

IF THE CHANCE AROSE

BUT I'M CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE

BETWEEN HERE AND THERE

MOVING TOWARDS YOUR SMILE

THE DISTANCE STILL FALLS SLOW

I COULD BE CHASING RAINBOWS

FOR ALL I KNOW

BABY DON'T TURN OUT YOUR LIGHT

I SWEAR I GOT IT RIGHT

YOU'RE THE SPARK

I'M THE FIRE

THE SWEETNESS OF MY DESIRES

LIFT YOU UP SO YOU CAN SEE

BEYOND THE INDIGNITIES  

SAY YOU WILL, HANG ON UNTIL

WE'RE RIGHT WHERE WE WANT TO BE

AND THEN STILL

FEEL MY LOVE HOLDING YOU

JUST LIKE THE SKY CRADLES THE STARS

SHINING LIKE A RESTLESS SUN

OUR LOVE FILLS IN THE SPACES

BETWEEN US

LIKE THE TIDE RUSHING IN

EACH AND EVERY MOON

WE SEE CROSSING THE SKY

THAT FEELING THAT YOU GET

WHEN ITS PASSED BY

THE FIRE, THE LOVE

 IN YOUR HEART GLOWS

YOU'RE FEELING

 HUMBLE AND SMALL

YOU WONDER

 HOW ALL THIS GOT STARTED

AT ALL

YOU AND I 

WILL SEE THIS THROUGH TOGETHER

PHOTOGRAPHS OF MOMENTS WE HAD

HANGING ON THE WALL

IF THIS IS WHERE

I WAS HEADED

IF THIS IS WHERE

I WOULD GO

WHEN YOU'RE BESIDE ME

THE TIME IT TOOK TO GET HERE

DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE

AND WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING

ON DREAMY DAYS LIKE THIS

A KISS, A SMILE

OUR HEART AND SOUL

TOGETHER AS ONE

ANOTHER DAY BURNING

 IN THE RESTLESS SUN

RIGHT TO THE CRIMSON DUSK

AN ORANGE GLOW 

WHERE THE SUNS GOING DOWN
