THE FALLING RAIN

THE FALLING RAIN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WATCHING THE RAIN FALL

WASHING THE SUN AWAY

GOLDEN FIELDS TURNING BROWN

THE LEAVES ARE FALLING

DANCING WITH THE WIND

SUNDOWN PUSHES BACK ON THE DAY

THE NIGHT TRIES TO CLIMB INSIDE

SUMMERS OVER CUT AND DRIED

LIKE FLOWERS HANGING

UPSIDE DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS

THE GEESE MOVE DOWN

FROM NORTHERN LATITUDES 

FILL THE SKIES FLYING SOUTH

IN THE FOREST A COMBINED HUSH

THE FALLING RAIN BRINGS ME

BACK TO THIS PLACE

IMAGINED OR REAL

ITS HARD NOT TO FEEL

A LITTLE SAD

FADED WORDS OF LOVE IN THE SAND

SHE TOOK ME BY THE HAND

AND LOOKED INTO MY EYES

FEEL IT COMING LIKE THE FALL

THE WINTER THE SNOW

I KNEW YOU'D HAVE TO GO

AFTER EACH HOUR,EACH MINUTE

ALL WITH YOU IN IT

I CAN'T FORGET YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE

I WANTED TO BE SOMEONE

YOU COULDN'T DO WITHOUT

SOMEONE YOU NEED

THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WOULD STAY

HOPED YOU COULDN'T

 DRAG YOURSELF AWAY

BUT LIKE THE SUMMER PASSING

YOU'LL SOON BE GONE

SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU'VE GOT TO BE

YOU'RE QUITTING ME

I TOOK YOU TO THE STATION

IS THAT A TEAR IN YOUR EYE

I KNOW I'VE GOT SOME IN MINE

SAW YOU IN THE WINDOW

AS THE TRAIN WAS PULLING OUT

LEFT MY HEART IN DOUBT

I HOPE YOU MAKE IT BACK THIS WAY

WHEN YOU'RE DONE

TIRED OF CITY LIGHTS

SETTLE DOWN BE A GOOD GIRL

FIND YOUR WAY BACK INTO MY HEART

INSIDE MY SUMMER DAYS

RIDING SIDE BY SIDE

TWO LOVERS IN THE FALLING SUNS GLOW

HEY,YA NEVER KNOW

MAYBE WE'LL GET TO TRY

WATCHING THE RAIN FALL

WASHING THE SUN AWAY

COME BACK AND STAY

WHEN THE SUNDOWN

 PUSHES BACK ON THE DAY

WHO WILL I BE TOMORROW

WHO WILL I BE TOMORROW

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

ALWAYS BACK TO THE WELL

CAN'T SEEM TO DRINK MY FILL

DON'T FOLLOW ME

I TAKE THE LONG WAY AROUND

MOVING THROUGH THE WOODS

WITHOUT A SOUND

SET APART ACROSS THE MILES

SCATTERED ON THE FOUR WINDS

SET OUT WITH THE SUN

RESTED BY THE MOON 

A LITTLE LATE

BUT I'LL BE THERE SOON

I'M TAKING MY TIME

MEASURING MY STEP

JUST THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

AND I TURNED AROUND TO FACE ME

MAYBE I'VE GOT IT COLORED

ALL WRONG

THOUGHT IT WAS ALRIGHT

 ALL ALONG

BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE

THE PAIN THE HURT THE SORROW

WHO WILL I BE TOMORROW

IF I DON'T LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND

HARD ON MYSELF FOR WHY

DO I GO ON LIKE THIS

ALL THE THINGS I MISSED

CHANGED ME I THINK IT DID

FOOLED ME FOR AWHILE

ITS A CRAZY WORLD

NOW I'M BACK IN THE FIGHT

DEEP INSIDE I KNOW

I'LL MAKE IT RIGHT

WHY ME TRY ME 

IF YOU CAN FIND ME

I'LL BE GONE IN THE MORNING

SCATTERED ON THE WIND

BACK AGAIN

HOLD ME TO IT

HOLD ME CLOSE DON'T LET GO

WE'LL FIND OUT HOW FAR WE CAN GO

THERE'S A LIGHT TO THIS

SEE IT SHINE

THERE ALWAYS HAS TO BE

ONE MORE TIME

WHO WILL I BE TOMORROW

IF I DON'T LEAVE IT ALL

BEHIND ME

THOUGHT I KNEW

 WHERE I WAS GOING

BUT I GOT HOPELESSLY LOST

I GOT DISTRACTED, WAYLAID 

TOOK WHAT I NEEDED

INSTEAD OF WHAT I WANTED

THAT COULD NEVER DO

TO GET ME FAR

I WANT TO REACH THE STARS

OUT IN THE COUNTRY

WHERE THE MOON HANGS LOW

LIFE MOVES A LITTLE SLOWER

GIVEN TO DEEPER MEANING

CALLING YOU TO TO BE FREE

 

 

 

THE WORDSMITH MILL: JUST LONG ENOUGH

THE WORDSMITH MILL: JUST LONG ENOUGH: JUST LONG ENOUGH WRITTEN BY JEFFREY R HILTON 2018  WE USED TO SIT AROUND AND LAUGH WE USED TO GET UP AND GO SUMMER...

JUST LONG ENOUGH

JUST LONG ENOUGH

WRITTEN BY JEFFREY R HILTON

2018 

WE USED TO SIT AROUND AND LAUGH

WE USED TO GET UP AND GO

SUMMER USED TO LAST

WELL INTO THE FALL

ALWAYS AND ADVENTURE

IT ALWAYS WENT SLOW

TIMES WERE WHEN

THE VERY ESSENCE OF LIVING

WAS ALWAYS SO SWEET

THE WATER WAS MORE CLEARER 

THE SKY MORE BLUE

THE AIR WAS CLEANER

I REALLY MISS THOSE DAYS

DON'T YOU

WE USED TO STAY UP LATE

TO GAZE AT THE STARS

DOWN BY THE RIVER

MIST IN THE FIELDS

NEVER A HURRY

BARELY A CONCERN

UNTIL ONE DAY IT QUIETLY SLIPPED AWAY

TOOK A TURN

THEN SUDDENLY NO TIME TO DREAM

 YOU'RE FALLING THROUGH THE AIR UNSEEN

LAND SOMEWHERE YOU CAN'T GET OUT

INTO SCATTERED SEEDS OF DOUBT

LEAVE YOU INSIDE LOOKING OUT

WE USED TO UNDERSTAND

WE USED TO PLAY ALONG

 TIME STOOD STILL

FOR A LITTLE WHILE

JUST LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE US HOPE

CURIOSITY TAKES US ALL OFF

ONE AT A TIME

THEN ITS WANDERLUST

IN GOODBYES WE PUT OUR TRUST

WE USED TO THINK THINGS WERE HARD

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW FREE WE REALLY WERE 

NOW ITS ALL GONE, ITS JUST A BLUR

FROZEN IN TIME, JUST MELT AND STIR

CLOSE YOUR EYES LET YOURSELF GO

SEE WHAT YOUR MIND CONJURES UP

I THINK I KNOW

WE USED TO WALK FOR MILES

THROUGH THE FIELDS AND THE WOODS

WE TALKED UNTIL WE COULDN'T

THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE

WE LAID DOWN IN THE GRASS

WE SWORE OUT OUR SECRETS

TO NEVER REVEAL

HIDDEN LEFT BEHIND CONCEALED 

WE USED TO CARE

WE USED TO FEEL SO STRONG

THERE WAS NEVER A QUESTION

WE'D JUST GET UP AND GO

BACK WHEN TIME STOOD STILL

I RECALL

SUMMERS THAT LASTED

WELL INTO THE FALL

WE USED TO LOVE

THAT'S ALL

BLOWING WITH THE STARS

BLOWING WITH THE STARS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

HAVE I REALLY WASTED ALL THESE YEARS

SO MANY SUNRISES COME AND GONE

 WHO'S TO SAY I GOT IT RIGHT OR WRONG

I FACED IT ALL AS IT CAME ALONG

DID THE BEST I COULD

HAPPINESS IS FLEETING AT THE BEST OF TIMES

FADING LIKE TWILIGHT INTO THE PINES

YOU CAN'T SEE INSIDE

IF YOU DON'T LOOK WITHIN

SEE YOU'LL NEVER WIN 

LOST NOW REAL GOOD FIND ME

I DOUBT YOU EVER COULD

FREEDOM NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

WITHOUT CHAINS TO BIND ME

ON THE PATH

BLOWING WITH THE STARS

DRIFTING ON THE WAVES

YEARNING FOR THE DAWN

THE SKY IS LIGHTENING

IT WON'T BE LONG

I CAN SEE THE OUTLINE

OF THE SHORE

THE MAGIC CALLS

I'VE WAITED, I'VE WANTED

I'VE BEEN LEFT BEHIND

NOW I'M ON IT

DON'T TRY TO TAKE ME DOWN

I WON'T HAVE IT 

ANY OTHER WAY

WON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY

SURE I TOOK MY TURN, CARRYING THE WEIGHT

WHEN I PUT IT DOWN, IT SURE FELT GREAT

NOW THAT I KNOW ITS GONE

I'M A GONNA CARRY ON

SOME SAY SINNER IN THE SUN

I SAY THEIR WRONG

I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING 

AND ALMOST EVERYONE

SO TELL ME DID I REALLY WASTE

 ALL THOSE YEARS 

I DON'T THINK SO IF IT GOT ME HERE

SOMETIMES IN THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT

THE WHOLE WORLDS GONE

AND I'M JUST HERE BETWEEN THE STARS

ON A SPARKLING SHORE

AND WHEN I LOOK INTO HERE EYES 

I KNOW THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE

 I SHOULD BE 

NO SENSE FALLING, NO SENSE FALLING

I KIND OF LIKE THIS

BLOWING WITH THE STARS

DRIFTING WITH THE WAVES

I CAN'T SEE ANYWHERE ELSE

ANYWHERE ELSE I SHOULD BE
