A DAY TO BE ALONE

She said I wonder when it’ll be my day
‘Cause I’m not too far from breaking down
And all Ive got are screams inside
But somehow they come out in a smile
And I’m wondering if I’ll always feel this way, this way
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you’d rather die alone
Than being stuck here with me
And maybe you’ve fallen down
And maybe you just took the long way home
But baby you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror you’ll see a smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, yeah me

One day you’re gonna see things my way
You gave me so much room that I can’t breathe
When all I’ve got are pictures to view
There was nothing before it all started with you
For some reason it’s supposed to be that way, that way

Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you’d rather die alone
Than being stuck here with me
And maybe you’ve fallen down
And maybe you just took the long way home
But baby you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror you’ll see a smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, yeah me

If I could shrink it down and put it in your hands
We made it hurt so much, I can’t forget the past
Just tell me what to say, show me what to do
Then I can forgive me and I would forgive you
And maybe you’ve fallen down
And maybe you, you took the long way home
But baby you will never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror you’ll see a smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me
You know will always be me
And I will wait, always be me, yea
Till I see your smiling

FIND IT!

I, I just want to find it
I just want to see
What the moon’s shining on
And I just want to know
What the day is running from

And I just want to try it
I just want to see
How it fits on me
And I just want to know
What the day is running from

But just go to bed now
You crazy kid
You’ll be alright
I know come morning time
But morning time is nothing
Time is nothing without you

And I just want to see it
I just want to be
Where the sky meets the earth
And I just want to know
What the heart thinks I’m worth

But just go to bed now
You crazy kid
You’ll be alright
I know come morning time
Just let the moon rise
And the sun go down
Don’t let the hard times
Make you feel alone

I turn out my light
And climb out my window
Into the backyard
And I want streets
Where the street lights are shining
And the fog is rolling in

I say goodbye as it fades away
Out past those trees I’m gonna find my way
Please don’t be scared for me
I’m big and I’m strong
You had to know that I would leave all along

I just want to find it
I just want to see what the moon’s shining on
And I just want to know
What the day is running from

A SPECK OF LIGHT MIDST THE DARKNESS

Waking up this morning – somewhere not a million miles from me – will be two happy people. One of them is my son.

Yesterday morning, he boarded a plane to Moscow. At Moscow airport, he met his wife and they spent the day together at the airport. Last night, they got on a plane together back to England. And so…. this morning they will be waking up together, very happy to be reunited again! The visa application was successful….. although it is only for six months and not for two years as we first thought it would be.

Still, it represents a tiny glimmer of light amongst all the darkness that fills our lives at the moment……
