OCTOBER 2020

 

 

 

ALL THE LEAVES BEGAN TO FALL

 

NEVER GOT TO FINISH AT ALL

 

BEFORE THE SNOW

 

SEASONS COMPETING FOR TIME

 

EVERYONE'S IN A HURRY

 

NO TIME TO STOP

 

NOT FOR A MINUTE

 

TOO BUSY REACHING FOR THE TOP 

 

FROZEN TEARS

 

ISN'T IT SAD TO HEAR

 

 

 

THE BEST  OF THE CIRCLES 

 

ON THE OTHER SIDE

 

SO FAR FROM FULL

 

SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE PEACE

 

YOU SEEK

 

YOUR TIME IS SURE

 

THE BLESSING BESTOWED YOU

 

ALL SO PURE

 

DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR LONG

 

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THE SONG

 

THAT CARRIES SWEETLY 

 

ON THE ENCHANTED WINDS 

HOLD ME TO IT

SO I CAN'T GET BY

LOW OR BE IT HIGH

LET THE MYSTIC CAST THE DIE

BLESS US HERE FOR THESE TIMES

SEE US PAST

THE HARDEST PARTS

MOSTLY UNSCATHED 

CHASING THE WIND

TO GAIN SOME GROUND

BUT IT TURNS

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

PUSHING BACK

HOLDING THE LINE

DON'T YOU FORGET US AT ALL

LEST WE , GIVE UP AND FALL

THAT'S NEVER BEEN OUR WAY

MISTY EVENING LIGHT

 

THE MOON TURNS AWAY

 

NO STARS TO LAY

 

UPON THE HEAVENS 

 

AS THE MUSIC OF THE COSMOS

 

BEGINS TO PLAY

 

DROPS OF RAIN

 

BEGIN TO FALL

 

SO I CAN HARDLY SEE AT ALL

 

THE LIGHTS A RUNNING PRISM

 

COLOR CONFUSION

 

DANCING IN THE NIGHT

 

 

MY THOUGHTS TURN TO YOU

 

I SEE RIGHT THROUGH

 

JUST A GLIMPSE

 

RIGHT INTO YOUR SOUL

 

WHERE I SEE

 

HOW HARD IT IS TO BE

 

ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE

 

THE GOOD THE BAD THIS FAR

 

YOU BRING HOPE

 

YOU BRING LIGHT

 

SO MANY SWEET THINGS

 

THAT I LIKE

 

AND YOU RESET MY LIFE

 

MAKE IT TWICE AS BRIGHT

 

AND ALL YOUR DREAMS 

 

FALL IN LINE

 

WITH ALL OF MINE

 

 

 

HERE TO ETERNAL SKIES

 

I DON'T THINK THAT I

 

COULD EVER SEE AN END

 

YOU AND I AGAIN

 

THE REASON I SEE THROUGH 

 

YOU NEED ME TOO 

 

MISTY EVENING LIGHT

 

THE MOON TURNS AWAY

 

NO STARS TO LAY 

 

UPON THE HEAVENS

 

NO COSMOS ALL ALIGHT 

 

JUST DROPS OF RAIN

TIMES LIKE THIS WHEN WE'RE APART

 

CAN YOU HEAR ME

 

SINGING TO YOUR HEART 

 

DO YOU FEEL THE DRUMS

 

BENEATH YOUR FEET

 

THAT'S ME

 

DO YOU FEEL THAT FEELING INSIDE

 

LIKE YOU BELONG

 

DID YOU EVER THINK

 

THAT WE WOULD LAST THIS LONG

 

 

THE HARSH WINDS

 

SOMETIMES THAT BLEW

 

AND WE WEATHERED EVERY STORM 

 

ENCOUNTERED ALONG THE WAY 

 

AND HEY

 

WHAT ABOUT OUR LOVE

 

DOES IT STILL HOLD UP AND SHINE

 

THESE OLD TRICKS OF MINE

 

NEVER MISSED A BEAT

 

BUT I NEVER SET OUT TO HURT YOU

 

MAKE YOU CRY

 

LEAVE YOU SAD NO REASON WHY

 

BUT SOME DAYS JUST ENDED LIKE THAT

 

I STAYED RIGHT WHERE I SAT

 

WONDERING WHERE I WENT WRONG

 

KEPT HOPING THAT WE'D GO ON

 

 

MY WISHES WERE ALWAYS

 

THAT YOU AND I

 

GO ON

 

YOUR LOVE GOES ON FOREVER

 

CARING ABOUT ME

 

TO LOVE ONLY ME

 

YOU GIVE ME HOPE

 

FAITH AND GRACE

 

ALL I WANT

 

IS A WORLD WITH YOU AND I

 

THE COURAGE , TO TRY

2020

 

 

I WAITED FOR YOU

 

BUT YOU NEVER CAME

 

I PASSED IT OFF

 

AS JUST A GAME

 

THAT YOU WON FOR NOW

 

YOU SEEMED SO KEEN

 

WHEN WE SAID GOODBYE

 

YOU KISSED MY CHEEK SO SWEETLY

 

 

 

THERE WE WERE  DANCING SLOW

 

I HEARD YOU SAY

 

DON'T LET ME GO

 

I WHISPERED IN YOUR EAR

 

MADE MY INTENTIONS CLEAR

 

SO YOU WOULD KNOW

 

HOW MUCH I WANTED YOU 

YOU MOVED SO CLOSE

THEN MOVED AWAY

SAID YOU HAD TO GO

AND WE COULD HAVE TOMORROW

I COULD OF CARED LESS  BUT THAT'S NOT ME

I WONDERED I WAITED

TRIED TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL

YOU FADED AWAY IN TIME

BUT YOU TOOK THE REASONS WHY

WITH YOU

I WOULDN'T MIND SO MUCH

BUT WAS IT ME OR YOU

A STORM I NEVER KNEW

YOU HID INSIDE

NOW ITS LOST AND GONE

A SUN THAT NEVER SHONE

BURIED IN THE PAST

AND ONLY TRACES OF IT SURVIVE

WONDER KEEPS IT ALIVE

 

NEVER SHALL I KNOW

 

 

FADED LIKE GLASS TO SAND

 

NEVER WENT QUITE AS PLANNED

 

FADED, WASN'T MEANT TO SHINE

 

JADED RIGHT FROM THE START

 

LIKE AN ARROW THROUGH MY HEART

 

FADED

WHEN YOU LAND

 

WHEN YOU LAND

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

 

 

TO LOOK BUT NEVER SEE

 

TO LISTEN BUT NEVER HEAR

 

TO BE A PART

 

BUT NEVER DEEP ENOUGH

 

TO FEEL IT TOUCH YOUR SOUL

 

TO NEVER HOLD

 

IS TO NEVER NEED TO LET GO

 

ALWAYS ON YOUR OWN

 

HEART COLD LIKE RAIN ON STONE

 

THERE'S NO SUN HERE

 

TO BE FOUND

 

 

DON'T KNOW THE JOY THE GLORY

 

INSIDE A LOVE STORY

 

NEVER AN EMPTY SKY

 

FULL OF WISHES AND QUESTIONS WHY

 

IF YOU COULD FEEL THAT KIND OF LIGHT

 

MAYBE YOU COULD MEND

 

FIND WINGS FOR A HEART TO FLY

 

A PURPOSE A REASON WHY

 

HEY WHY NOT YOU

 

 

FATES WHAT HAPPENS

 

 WHEN NO ONE TAKES THE WHEEL

 

YOU LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR DIRECTION

 

A REFLECTION OF YOUR SOUL

 

DRIFTING AWAY FROM ALL THE STARS 

HARD TO TELL

EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE

YOU KNOW YOU CAN

GET BACK AGAIN

COME DOWN ITS TIME TO CARRY ON

LET LOVE BE THERE

WHEN YOU LAND

SO SOFTLY TAKE YOUR HAND

BRING THAT KIND OF LIGHT

FIND YOUR WINGS TO FLY

NEVER AN EMPTY SKY

DREAMS LIVE AND QUESTIONS WHY

OCTOBER 2020

 **

 

SITTING HERE AT DUSK

 

ADDING UP THE DAY 

 

DID I GAIN SOME GROUND

 

OR SEE SOME SLIP AWAY

 

DID I SHINE ENOUGH

 

BEFORE I FADED

 

 DID I PLAN MY NEXT STEPS

 

WITH CARE AND PRECISION 

 

GIVE ME A STARRY SKY

 

TO GET MY SOUL RIGHT

 

TELL MY HEAD TO

 

HOLD MY HEART

 

THIS IS JUST THE START 

A NEW BEGGINNING 

 

TACKED ONTO AN END

 

EVERYTHING THAT'S BROKE

 

WILL MEND 

 

 

SINKING INTO MY CHAIR

 

I CLOSE MY EYES

 

LET THE NIGHT

 

WASH OVER ME

 

MOONLIGHT FALLING ON MY DREAMS

 

STARLIGHT BRINGING THEM TO LIFE

 

HEAVEN SENT THAT I RECEIVE 

 

JUST A HINT OF IT

 

THE SCENT ON A SUMMER BREEZE

 

A CALL TO ARMS FOR ME

 

JUST BEFORE THE DAWN

 

INSIDE THE QUIET

 

BLACK COME BLUE

 

WAITING FOR THE SUN

 

SO MUCH TO DO

 

REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK

 

IT NEVER WAITS FOR YOU

 

SHIFTS LIKE THE SANDS OF TIME

 

IN THE WIND

 

 

IT MOVES AWAY

 

YOU HAVE TO RUN

 

TO SEE IT FLOW

 

CATCH IT UP AND THEN

 

YOU'LL KNOW

 

WHERE TO MAKE A STAND

 

LET THE NIGHT WASH OVER ME

 

MOONLIGHT FALLING

 

ON MY DREAMS

 

STARLIGHT BRINGING THEM TO LIFE 

HEAVEN SENT THAT I RECEIVE

HERE WE ARE

 

REACHED THE FIRST STAR

 

WHAT'S TO LEAVE BEHIND

 

MAKE IT STREAMLINED 

 

JUST AS FAST

 

AS WE CAN GO

 

NOT SO MUCH YOU

 

BUT I

 

I JUST NEED YOUR EYES

 

YOUR HEART

 

TO UNDERSTAND

 

YOU TO TAKE MY HAND

 

LEAD ME AWAY

 

FROM THE DARKENED SKY

 

LOVE AND NO OTHER REASON 

WHY I CAN'T TAKE

THESE WINGS AND FLY

SOME PLACE I

NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE

 

FOR SOMETHING I'VE NEVER DONE

 

WHAT DID I KNOW

YOU COULD MAKE IT

SEEM SO EASY

ITS BECOMING CLEARER

WHEN I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR

THAT'S ME LOOKING BACK

THEN I SEE YOU THERE

YOU MAKE ME SMILE

AND THEN

AND ONLY THEN

CAN IT TRULY BEGIN

 

 

THERE'S NO MORE TIME

 

THAT I CAN SEE

 

WASTED UP BY ME

 

THINGS TO UNLEARN

 

THAT GIVE ME CAUSE FOR CONCERN

 

I COULD WALK AWAY

 

JUST REMAIN THE SAME

 

BUT YOU GAVE ME A CAUSE

 

I CAN BELIEVE

 

I COULDN'T EVER LEAVE

 

YOU KNOW I NEED TO STAY

 

YOU TAKE MY HAND

 

AND LEAD ME AWAY

 

FROM THE DARKENED SKY 

THE REASON WHY, IS

CRYSTAL CLEAR

THE CLOSER THAT YOU ARE

 

THE NEARER TO MY HEART

 

CLOSER INSIDE

 

WHERE I

 

KEEP MY LOVE

 

FOR YOU

 

AWAY FROM THE DARKENED SKY

 

SOMEWHERE WHERE

 

 YOU AND I 

CAN SAFELY DWELL
