BURNING SUN



BURNING SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019


TELL ME HOW LIFE RUSHES BY
CATCHES YOU UNAWARE
TWENTY YEARS STILL FINDS YOU THERE
KEEPING TIME WITH THE SUN
DRIVE IT ALL AHEAD
TURN IT AROUND
INSIDE OUT TO WEAR IT IN
FROM THE BEGINNING
TO THE END

SEARCHING FOR TRUTH
IN DAWNS UNCERTAIN LIGHT
YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU'VE
FOUND IT
EVERYTHING WILL FEEL ALRIGHT

EMPTY MORNINGS
LONELY NIGHTS
FILLING UP AGAIN
WITH LOVE AND LIGHT
DRIVE IT AHEAD
TURN IT ALL AROUND
UNTIL YOU CAN SAY
IT'LL BE OKAY

BITTER OR SWEET
DOWN OR ON YOUR FEET
WHAT DID YOU GET
FOR THE TIME
YOU PUT IN
DID YOU LOSE
OR DID YOU WIN
 DID YOU FINALLY FIND YOURSELF
COMING BACK AGAIN

AFTER THE BIRDS FLEW AWAY
THE TREES BARED WAITING
ON A WINTERS DAY
FOUND YOUR WAY TO LOVE
IN THE BURNING SUN
YOU SAILED AWAY BENEATH
THE WIDTH OF THE FULL MOON

A CELESTIAL PATH 
RENDERED BY THE STARS
TO DREAMS FARAWAY
BREATHING IN THE OCEAN
KEEPING TIME WITH THE SUN
JUST LIKE YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: MISTY GOLDEN SUN

THE WORDSMITH MILL: MISTY GOLDEN SUN: MISTY GOLDEN SUN   WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019     DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALONE LONELY MILES BETWEEN US MY HEART GROWS...

MISTY GOLDEN SUN


MISTY GOLDEN SUN
 
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019
 
 
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALONE
LONELY MILES BETWEEN US
MY HEART GROWS EVER FOND
WALKING DOWN A WOODED PATH
POINTING TO THE SUN
DIAMONDS LIGHT THE WATER 
FROM  A SUNNY SKY
FALLING OVER THE MOUNTAINS
FROM WAY UP HIGH
 
AN EASY SUMMER DAY
I GOT TO RUNAWAY
I SAT AT THE RIVER
MOUNTAINS ALL AROUND ME
HALOS OF SUN BESIDE ME
LOST IN THE BEAUTY
THE SILENCE, MAGIC
THE AIR NEAR STILL
THE PINES NOT MUCH TO SAY
 
A RIVER OF BLUE
TO MATCH THE SKY
IN A HURRY, RUSHING BY
MOUNTAINS RISE BEFORE ME
CAUGHT IN MISTY GOLDEN SUN
STILL CALLING ME
TO COME UP AND SEE
LOOK DOWN AND JUST LET IT BE
 
NO THIS AS CLOSE AS I
WANT TO BE
TO HEAVEN TODAY
RUN RUN AWAY
BEFORE SOMETHING 
CHANGES MY MIND 
THE REASONS I COULD FIND
AREN'T FAR
A FEW MEMORIES
TO ADD TO THE PILE
THE GOOD KIND
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE
 
ONE OF THESE DAYS
ONE OF THESE DREAMS
THE FARTHER INTO TIME
THE EASIER IT SEEMS
ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO FIND
I DO TRY, SO WHY DO I 
KEEP COMING BACK
A RIVER OF BLUE
TO MATCH THE SKY
 
IN A HURRY, RUSHING BY
MOUNTAINS RISE BEFORE ME
CAUGHT IN MISTY GOLDEN SUN 
STILL CALLING ME
TO COME UP AND SEE
LOOK DOWN AND JUST LET IT BE

PURE BLUE SKIES



PURE BLUE SKIES

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

THE YEARS SLIPPED BY
STEALING AWAY
TO MEET THE SILENT DAWN
OF EACH NEW DAY
I GUESS I CLOSED MY EYES
TOO LONG TO SEE IT ALL

EVERYTHING CHANGED
NOTHING THE SAME
JUST ONE MORE CHANCE
TO BELIEVE
IS ALL I NEEDED
I STOOD THERE
BENEATH THE STARS
I TURNED AROUND AND
THERE YOU WERE

ONE KISS AND ITS
ALL OR NOTHING
WE WANTED IT TO BE
SOMETHING
IT WAS YOU THAT LIT THE WAY
I FOLLOWED YOU UNTIL
I COULD SEE
THEN YOU FOLLOWED ME

LIKE A SWEET WAVE
THAT FINALLY BREAKS
ANOTHER ONE TAKES ITS PLACE
LOVE CAN NEVER STAY INSIDE
YOU HAVE TO LET IT OUT
GIVE IT ALL AWAY
YOU'VE GOT TOO MUCH
TO SAVE

JUST A FEELING DEEP INSIDE
THAT I CAN'T HIDE
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA TRY
I WADE INTO THE COLOR
OF YOUR EYES
PURE BLUE SKIES
HELD UP TO THE LIGHT
COOL WATER BENEATH
THE STARS
INTO THIS LOVE OF OURS
INTO THIS LOVE OF OURS

INTO THIS WORLD WITH YOU
GONNA REACH EVERYWHERE
WE TRY
SUCCEED AT EVERYTHING WE DO
GIVE THIS LOVE A HOME
A FORTRESS STRONG
TO HOLD YOUR HEART
CLOSE TO ME

BREATHE IN YOUR LIFE
EXHALE THE SWEETEST SKY
SUNSHINE FALLING
FROM WAY UP HIGH
ALL THE THINGS YOU WANTED
FOR YOU AND I
EVERYTHING IS DEEPER INTO TIME
THE MEANINGS, THE WORDS
STRONG ENOUGH TO NEVER FAIL US

JUST A FEELING DEEP INSIDE
JUST A FEELING I CAN'T HIDE
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA TRY

THE WORDSMITH MILL: SECRET RENDEZVOUS

THE WORDSMITH MILL: SECRET RENDEZVOUS: SECRET RENDEZVOUS WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019 I TRIED TO WIN HER HEART TRIED TO JOIN HER TRIBE GOT SO LOST IN LOVE ...

SECRET RENDEZVOUS



SECRET RENDEZVOUS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2019

I TRIED TO WIN HER HEART
TRIED TO JOIN HER TRIBE
GOT SO LOST IN LOVE
BURIED ALIVE
COMING UP FOR AIR
I WONDERED
SHOULD I EVEN BE THERE

FALLING FOR HER WAYS
READING BETWEEN THE LINES
HARDLY A MOMENT
TO THINK ABOUT
ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID
LOOK WHERE ALL THAT LED

SECRET RENDEZVOUS
SHE ALWAYS SHOWED
BUT SHE COULD NEVER
STAY FOR LONG
KIND OF HERE, KIND OF THERE
MOMENTS TOGETHER
BECAME SO RARE
IN TIMES LIGHT
HER VISION PALED

SAW I SIDE I DIDN'T KNOW
WISHED I'D NEVER SEEN
THE KIND OF THING
THAT CRUSHES DREAMS 
FADED TO MY PAST
WHERE SHE BELONGED
LIFE GOES ON
I'VE MOVED ON

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS
WHAT THEY SEEM
CAN YOU BE SURE OF
WHAT YOU'VE SEEN
THE PLACES THAT YOU'VE BEEN
OFF THE ROAD
OFF THE RAILS
OFF LIMITS
INTO THE FIRE
INTO THE FLAMES
SHAME ON ME AND
ITS NEVER THE SAME

WASN'T IT A RIDE
WASN'T IT A RIOT
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT
THAT BROKE THE QUIET
SECRET RENDEZVOUS
WITH DESTINY
SHE WALKED RIGHT UP TO ME
SAID IF SHE'D ONLY KNOWN
I WOULD NOT BE FREE
MY HEART WOULD BE ALL HERS

 BUT SHE SAID A LOT OF THINGS
SOME THAT WERE NOT TRUE
SHE HAD A LOT OF NERVE
KNEW JUST WHAT TO SAY
TURN IT ALL AROUND
THEN MAKE HER GETAWAY

COLORS


COLORS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

RIGHT ACROSS THE OCEAN
RIGHT ACROSS THE SKY
WOVEN THROUGH THE STARS
LIFE HANGS THERE 
LIKE A QUESTION MARK 
IN THE BALANCE

LIFE'S SO SHORT
YOU TRY TO GO DOWN
EVERY ROAD
NO EXIT, NO PROBLEM
YOU'VE STILL GOT TO KNOW
WHAT BEGINS
WHERE IT ENDS
WHAT'S UP THAT HILL
AROUND THOSE BENDS 

MILES OF WANDERLUST SATISFIED
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
WHAT'S ANYBODY LOOKING FOR
THE ANSWERS ARE MANY
SOME MIGHT NOT SEE
NEVER BE
CAUGHT UP IN THE MAGIC
LIKE YOU AND ME

AS SURE AS IT WAS DRIFTING BY
AND EVERY TIME I CLOSED MY EYES
ALL THOSE COLORS SPINNING
IN THE WIND
TAKE ME AS I AM
I'M NOT LIKE I WAS
CHASING A BETTER ME
INTO TOMORROW

LET ME SHINE WITH YOU
WALK INTO THE LIGHT
BESIDE YOU
HANG ONTO MY ARM
LIKE I'M SOMETHING
I'LL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW
I'M ON YOUR SIDE
I'LL BE YOUR EVERYTHING
 THE PENDULUM
THAT SWINGS YOUR WAY

ACROSS THE OCEAN
ACROSS THE SKY
WOVEN THROUGH THE STARS
STRAIGHT INTO YOUR HEART
COLORS SPINNING IN THE WIND
I CAN SEE THEM ALL AGAIN
