a lively instrumental,with lots of musical things going on,

a song written while my daughter was learning to dance, with a celtic feel, but using unusual formula for instruments,a fun instrumental

600

Gentle song about lost family love, with harmonies similar to the Eagle`s, Crosby Stills & Nash.

Song I wrote about my Grandma.and my Mother.

Words Can`t Wait

You had a smile, the laughter in your eyes,
And the days seem long without you,
You were so wise, we never saw you cry,
A gentle heart to come home to

Chorus
We never say the things we should till its too late,
Unspoken thoughts and feelings, we lay them aside, those words cant wait

You always cared when we were small and scared,
Protecting us, coming when we bid you,
You taught us right from wrong, fairy tales and songs,
Forgiving all the wrongs that we did you

Chorus
We never say the things we should till its too late,
Unspoken thoughts and feelings, we lay them aside, those words cant wait

When ever I see snow, or hear the storm wind blow,
Or sit around a glowing christmas tree,
Or at the fun fair, on the beach, my memories still reach,
And remind me of the love you gave to me,

chorus
we never say the things we should till its too late'
unspoken thoughts and feelings we lay them aside,
those words can't wait

things never stay the same,
no-one has the blame,
time passes like the sand beneath the waves,
and though life carries on ,
and my time with you has gone,
my memories of you i'll surely save

Chorus
We never say the things we should till its too late,
Unspoken thoughts and feelings, we lay them aside, those words cant wait,
we lay them aside,
those words cant wait
we just lay them aside,
those words cant wait
those words cant wait

anti terrorist song i wrote many years before recent events

there's no glory was my entry in the irish song contest for peace a few years ago,it reached the finals in everyman palace ireland .i usually play it much slower,but the song had to be 3 mins or less

they load their guns in silence,arm themselves for war, dress up as soldiers with nothing to fight for, their countrymen around them live in fear,doubt and hate they're looking for a reason,playing games with fate' fighting an uncertain cause to even up the score, they surrender to the madness,changing to the core, from men into maniacs, for innocents to fear, chorus if the battlefields a playground there's no glory if the battlefield's a playground there's no glory killing here. so madmen walk among us,fighting in religions' name shooting up the innocents and passing on the blame, killing all our children,and calling it a war, was violence and mindlessness what jesus suffered for? and this war of hate is raging as the years go rolling by, from the past we learn no lessons still the innocent must die,do the people that you call your own live in deathly fear? chorus if the battlefields'a playground there's no glory if the battlefields' a playground there's no glory killing here if we catch these men turned monsters do we hang them from up high? do we make them sad and suffer,before we let them die? or do we send them to a doctor,to cure their raging minds then free them when they're better,would that be cruel or kind? do the children never grown up cry forgotten tears? can we number all the victims,over all the years? do the people that you call your own live in deathly fear? chorus if the battlefields' a playground there's no glory, if the battlefields'a playground there's no glory killing here there's no glory if the battlefields' a playground there's no glory killing here.

love song about people in love'but having to be apart

i wrote this song whilst in dodgy lodgings in edinburgh,on a 10 day run,and missing the folks back home.

a hotel room in a no star place, i listen to the radio ,unpack my case its new years eve,no resolutions made' my memories stay,though my dreams may fade cold grey walls and empty bars boring journeys in droning cars i try to make a call,i try to write a letter, she's making a break,and i can,t forget her chorus midnight is a lonely time ,for the things you say,theres a price to pay midnight is a lonely time,the loneliest part of the day the loneliest part of the day a need for money is a dangerous thing ambition is funny take whatever life brings you work all nights,she works all day no time for loving in the family way your kids soon grow up,those times you will miss your lady won't show up and you'll miss her kiss you're waiting for a call'you're looking for a letter time passes so slowly and you can't forget her chorus do you ever wonder what aims you're chasing how are you spending the time you're wasting chorus chorus the loneliest part of the day the loneliest part of the day

a gentle song about a young girl leaving home and living rough on the streets

Young and alone in the big city, susie tries to break out on her own

susie's gone back on the road,she's spent and her heart is feeling cold, she's worn and tired and just can't walk any more, she left her home a year ago,her heart was glad but now she knows, she's all alone upon the city's floor chorus susie where are you going to?what are you running from? you'll blind your pretty eyes by looking at the sun susie where are you going to?what are you running from? you,ll blind your pretty eyes by looking at the sun take a trip on a rainbowed ship,she's living in her mind and if she watches she can see both sun and moon drifting around from door to door,she can't find what she's looking for,it's love she needs to find to bring her home. chorus downtown streets are cold and dark,home is a box in a city park, she's moving on again ,no ties to bind, times are hard and friends are few,but some are real ,some are true, the love you find is all inside your mind, chorus chorus

song about dreaming,nightmares and imagination

thoghts that whizz through yuour mind whilst asleep

lost in my dreams,i talk while i'm sleeping, i turn in my sheets,no secrets keeping, i'm walking in shadows of time, so cold and so dark,i,m getting older, she,s out of my life,i,m longing just to hold her, i,m walking in shadows of time, what can i say to make things right again? how can i make this darkness bright again? i,m walking in shadows of time. what can i gain?i'm lost in yesterdays dreaming i feel all their pain,i hear all their screaming, i'm walking in shadows of time, headlights of cars,they're flying past,speeding, they dazzle my eyes,my senses are reeling, i'm walking in shadows of time

pretty love song about breaking up and loneliness

i read a story about a couple who were born the same day,got married and after a long life together,died the same day,now thats true love.

he has a box that he keeps on a shelf , full of photos and letters and memories of times that have been, pictures of places that they used to go, smiling young faces from times long ago, look out from the pages he takes out time and again a night at a dance,beginning romance, taking a chance,looking for true true love,real real love, she keeps a lock of his hair by her pillow, enclosed in a necklace he gave her when she was sixteen, the bed seems much bigger,the nights seem so long, why did they break up?their love was so strong, now she's alone,it,s breaking her heart once again she's trying to hide,she feels winter inside just one more try,looking for true true love,real real love
