TURN



TURN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2020

MOONLIT SKY
COMING OVER YOU AND I
I CAN FEEL YOUR INNOCENCE 
FALLING LIKE LACE
AGAINST THE STARS

ALL THIS SILENCE
ON A SUMMERS EVE
WHAT MAGIC WAITS FOR ME
I'M ALREADY
IN THE MIDDLE
RIGHT BESIDE YOU
LOST IN YOUR CHARM
CHILLS WHEN YOU
TOUCH MY SKIN

YOUR EYES DON'T
WARN ME AWAY
YOU ARE ALL I NEED
DANCING INSIDE
SWEETEST DREAMS

TELL ME
HOW YOU KNEW
YOU COULD TURN ME TO
YOUR SWEET LOVE
NEVER MIND I KNOW
WATCH ME
HERE I GO

MAYBE THE SILENCE
WAS A BETTER THING
HAD A QUALITY
A CERTAIN RING
I'M JUST SURE OF
ONE THING
THE WAY YOU SHINE
I CAN'T GO ON
WITHOUT YOU

LEAD ME TO THE PLACES
THAT MAKE YOU UP
SURE AS HEAT AND RAIN
TELL ME
HOW YOU MAKE TIME
SEEM LIKE ITS STANDING STILL
I'M AFRAID TO MOVE
WONDERING IF I DO
YOU'LL BE GONE

YOU TURN TO ME
AND PUT YOUR FINGER
ON MY LIPS
YOUR LOVE
 SURROUNDS ME 
I CAN'T MOVE
I DON'T WANT TO

TELL ME HOW
YOU AND I
COULD MAKE
ALL THIS LOVE 
BETWEEN US
TURN YOU INTO
MY ARMS
YOU FIT LIKE 
YOU BELONG

ANSWER

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2020


DON'T YOU TURN AWAY
ITS FAR FROM DONE
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
TO COME
STUBBORN AS IT MIGHT BE
DRAGGING ITS FEET
TAKING ITS TIME
I KEEP PULLING
I KNOW ITS MINE
 THE SUNS GOT TO SHINE

ANY OTHER DAY
I WOULD SAY
I'LL DIG IN MY HEELS
AND LIE HERE IN WAIT
BUT COMES A TIME
WHEN WAITING IS THROUGH
YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO

SET OUT TO RETRIEVE 
THAT WHICH SEEMS
TO NEED A NUDGE
TO KEEP ON GOING
ANSWER TO A DREAM
A LITTLE DIRECTION
TO A PLACE ITS NEVER SEEN

DON'T TURN AWAY
KEEP YOUR EYES
ON THE STARS
STRUNG OUT ACROSS
THE SKIES
GOES ON FOREVER
CAN'T SAY ITS NEVER
SOONER OR LATER
BENT, BROKEN
FAITH, SHAKEN
BUT STILL I
NEVER STOP BELIEVING 

A CYNIC NO MORE
I HOLD THE LIGHT
KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE
ANSWER TO A DREAM
HIGH UP ON A CLOUD
YOU WON'T BE DENIED
FOREVER AT MY SIDE

ANCIENT RHYTHMS


ANCIENT RHYTHMS 

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

ANCIENT RHYTHMS 
GATHERING SPEED
THERE'S NO TIME
THERE'S NO NEED
ALIVE AS
YOU'RE GONNA BE
JUST AS
FREE AS YOU DARE
NOW YOU'RE GOING
SOMEWHERE
THAT YOU'VE
NEVER SEEN

PROGRAMMED TO WANDER
FIND SOMEWHERE THAT FITS
TAKE YOUR STAFF AND BOW
STEP INTO A HAZE
THE GOLDEN THREADS
OF SUN RAYS

FALLING THROUGH
THE TREES
FAST OR SLOW
YOU'LL BE THERE
WHEN YOU'VE ARRIVED
SOMEWHERE ON
THE OTHER SIDE
WHERE CRYSTAL WATERS
COME TO MEET THE SKY
TIMES NOT A MEASURE
JUST BEING IS FINE

TAKE YOUR FIRE
ON THE GO
LIGHT THE NIGHT
ALL AROUND YOU
LOOKING OUT
AT THE WORLD
WAITING JUST TO SEE
HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT
HOW ITS GONNA BE

MORE THAN TONIGHT
THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME
TO GET IT RIGHT
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP
TO THE STARS
A REALITY
SO DIFFERENT FROM OURS

WHEN HE WAKES UP
FROM A SLEEP
HE NEVER REALLY HAD
UNDER RELENTLESS
SKIES OF BLUE
AS FREE AS YOU DARE
ALIVE AS YOU'RE EVER GONNA BE

WATER AND SKY



WATER AND SKY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2020


IF I COULD HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
THEN I'D UNDERSTAND MYSELF
NOTHING IS EVER CLEAR AND PRECISE
SOMETIMES THE WORLDS AS COLD AS ICE

IF I COULD HELP YOU SEE PAST THE VAGARIES
SORT OUT ALL THESE MYSTERIES WE FACE
WOULD THAT MAKE ME
A SAINT OR A SEER IN YOUR EYES

IF I TOLD YOU THERE'S A PLACE
WE BELONG
I THINK YOU'D KNOW ITS NOT RIGHT HERE
OUT WHERE THE WATER MEETS THE SKY
THE MOON SHINES THROUGH THE TREES
THE NIGHT BIRDS SING A LULLABY
I CAN SEE YOU THERE WITH ME
ON SUMMERS EVES
ENDLESS LOVE, ENDLESS SUN

YOU AND I
CLEAR BLUE SKY
IF YOU WANT THIS  
THEN SO DO I
IT DON'T MATTER
WHATEVER IT TAKES 
MY HEARTS ALL IN
YOU'LL BE THE INSPIRATION
I'LL BE THE INSPIRED
STAND IN FOR YOU
WHEN YOU GET TIRED

I JUST WANT TO BE
FREE WITH YOU
TO BE THE THINGS WE WANNA BE
IF I COULD HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU
RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART
STEEPED INTO YOUR SOUL
TAKE YOU ALONG
TO WHERE WE BELONG
JUST YOU AND I
WATER AND SKY
ITS NEVER TOO LATE
EVERYTHING IN ITS TIME

I CAN'T IMAGINE



I CAN'T IMAGINE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2020


I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW HOW
WE EVER MISSED
EACH OTHER
ROLLING AROUND
THIS OLD TOWN

YOU CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
RAISED ALL MY SUSPICIONS
I KNEW THAT
YOU WERE SOMETHING MORE
KNEW YOU SHOULD BE
IN MY LIFE
 HEAVEN SENT
YOU GOT INTO MY HEART

I CAN'T IMAGINE
LIFE WITHOUT YOU
LIKE A SKY WITHOUT A SUN
EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT
THE MOON AND STARS
PART OF THE SAME DREAM
NEVER FELT
NEVER SEEN
SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL
AS THIS
I HAVE TO TAKE A STEP BACK
JUST TO SEE
HOW YOU WILL ALWAYS BE
ALL I EVER NEED

THE HUSH THAT COMES
WHEN THE RAIN STOPS
CAUGHT IN THE SUN
FEELS LIKE YOU
ANGEL IN BETWEEN
HEAVEN AND EARTH 
I WOULD GIVE YOU
ANYTHING

IF I CHANGE
IT WILL ONLY BE
FOR THE BETTER
FOR YOU AND ME
I'LL TRY NOT TO BE
IN A HURRY
I KNOW THESE THINGS
TAKE TIME
AND YOU'VE GOT
ALL OF MINE

WHERE I BELONG
BABY IT TOOK SO LONG
DAYS I ALMOST GAVE UP
FADE INTO
THE BLUE OF YOUR EYES

THE ONE YOU DREAM


THE ONE YOU DREAM

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2020


NEVER THE TIME
JUST THE PLACES
THAT YOU COME FROM
AND YOU GO
SO MANY GET CAUGHT UP
IN MY HEAD
MAYBE I SHOULD FORGET THEM
FEED MY VISIONS INSTEAD

I'LL BE THE ONE 
TO TAKE TO THE SKY
WELL DIDN'T I
TELL YOU I COULD FLY
THE STARS ALL AROUND ME
WON'T BE LONG
THE SUNRISE IS COMING ON

IS ALL MY LOVE ENOUGH
CAN YOU FEEL ME
FROM THE INSIDE
ALL YOUR DARKEST DAYS
I WILL TRY TO LIGHT
AND BY THE FIRE
YOU AND I
SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT
THE MOONS SOFT GLOW
SHINES RIGHT THROUGH
 ON YOU

COULD IT BE
ANYTHING MORE
THAN THE MAGIC
WE MAKE AS TWO
I'LL BE THE ONE
YOU DREAM
YOU'LL BE MY EVERYTHING
OH CATCH YOU
WHEN YOU FALL
HELP YOU SEE
WHEN THERE'S LITTLE LIGHT
OR NONE AT ALL

I CAN SEE
THIS IS GOING TO BE
SOMETHING BIGGER
THAN WE BOTH KNEW
THERE TO HERE
WAS NEVER CLEAR
BUT LOOK HOW
IT WORKED OUT
NOW THAT WE'RE HERE

WHO CAUGHT UP WITH WHO
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
ITS SWEET
 ITS SOMETHING REAL
AND IF YOU TAKE 
ALL MY TIME
YOU KNOW
I'LL NEVER MIND
AT ALL

BENEATH THESE SKIES



BENEATH THESE SKIES

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2020

IS THE SKY ABOVE SO LONELY
WHAT IS THERE
I CAN'T SEE
FAR BEYOND THE STARS
THE MOON, THE MYSTERIES

I SIT HERE ALL NIGHT
THE FIRELIGHT
WANTS TO CHANGE ME
TURN ME INTO SOMETHING
OLD AND NEW
WA HA WHO,WA HA WHO
WHEN I GET BACK TO YOU

WAY UP HIGH
THAT'S WHERE I 
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
LET IT ALL UNWIND
MAKE ME WISH I COULD STAY
BENEATH THESE SKIES
THE SUN BURST THROUGH
TO ME

NO WORRIES HERE AT ALL
WAITING FOR YOUR CALL
TO TELL ME
YOU'RE ALMOST HERE
HOW COULD WE GO WRONG
RUNNING DEEP
IT GOES FAR BEYOND
THE MOON THE STARS
THE SILENT MAGIC
OF THE NIGHT
SHIFTING WITH THE LIGHT

THERE'S NO DIVIDE
BETWEEN US
NO SINGLE WORD TO
DEFINE US
WA HA WHO GOES THERE
WA HA WHO WILL IT BE
ALL I EXPECT IS YOU

ALL YOU EVER NEED
IS ALL I'LL BE FOR YOU
ALL WE NEED RIGHT HERE
BENEATH THESE SKIES
A PARADISE FOR YOU AND I
HIGH ABOVE AND
FAR BELOW

TWO QUARTERS



TWO QUARTERS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

JANUARY 2020 


I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
NOTHING HAD CHANGED
ITS ALL THE SAME
I'LL TRY NOT TO BLAME
BUT ITS A SHAME
GIVE ME SOMETHING
I CAN GO ON
SOMETHING TO USE
IF I CHOOSE

WHERE'S THE WIND
AT MY BACK
PUSH MY REASONS
HELP MY CAUSE
GIVE ME A LITTLE
OR GIVE ME A LOT
I CAN'T GO ON
WITH WHAT I'VE GOT
 NOTHING FOR TOO LONG

STUCK HERE LOSING TIME 
LOSING FACE
SLIPPING FROM
THE ARMS OF GRACE
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
 I CAN'T FIND
I SHOULD LOOK
TO THE SKY
MAYBE ITS THERE
I'LL FIND IT
SOMETHING TO BEND IT
TIL IT BREAKS

I'D LIKE TO GO
BUT I'M FAR FROM FREE
THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME
IS CLOSED
WATCHING THE MORNING RAIN
WONDERING IF THINGS
WILL EVER BE
MORE THAN THIS

I DON'T WANT TO SAY
ITS NOT FAIR
BUT ITS ITS NOT FAIR
YES I KNOW, ONE MORE DAY
ONLY YOU WOULD
THINK THAT'S OKAY
THE PAIN WILL GO AWAY

I ROLL MY EYES
AND LOOK UP TO THE SKY
IF I ASK YOU
WOULD YOU TELL ME WHY
DID I IMAGINE ALL THESE DREAMS
FOR NOTHING
I DON'T REMEMBER
SELLING MY SOUL TO YOU
I WOULDN'T, I NEVER DID

STUCK HERE LOSING TIME
I'LL NEVER GET IT BACK
EMPTY SPACES
ILL WINDS BLOW
THERE'S NOWHERE
I CAN GO
ISN'T IT DARKEST
BEFORE THE DAWN
DON'T KEEP ME WAITING
TELL ME
HOW LONG

SKIES OF MAY


SKIES OF MAY
 
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON, 2019
 
 
THE SUN WAS GENTLE
A NEW SPRING BORN
A SKY OF BLUE
IN EARLY MORN
 
THE MAY QUEENS
FEET ARE ON THE PATH
RIBBONS FLUTTER
FROM THE POLE 
 
DANCING WITH
FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
IF WE HURRY
SHE'LL STILL BE THERE
 
ALL THE LOVE 
THAT YOU CAN'T HIDE
ALL THE MAGIC INSIDE
SWEET ENOUGH
FOR SOME MORE
MAYBE WE
TURNED A CORNER
OPENED ANOTHER DOOR
 
PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
KISS ME SLOW
MAKE IT LAST IN SPRINGS
SOFT GLOW
THE SUN BEGINS TO
PAINT THE SKY
WICKING AWAY
WINTERS DIM LIGHT
 
YOU CAN SEE MY LIFE NOW
ITS ALL NEW
SOMETHINGS CHANGED
IT MUST BE YOU
SEE ME POINTING WHERE
THE EAGLE FLIES
SURROUNDED BY
THE SKIES OF MAY
 
WINTER BLUES WASHED AWAY
BY THE RAIN

REACHING FOR THE SKY
WHAT IS IT
YOU'VE GOT PLANNED
FOR YOU AND I
