‘Standing Here’ Lyrics

Open up the hands that hold me still
I would speak into the day if I had my say,
Shipwrecked and the candles fluttering
Puts a light upon your face, deliberately placed

And I cannot be standing here
I will burn much brighter than this

Once upon a time we used to laugh
Now the reality of the scene
You hardly speak and never sing,
Who can say it clearer than this? We are almost done

And I cannot be standing here
I will burn much brighter than this

Sunlight dances underneath the sea
Who will lie between the sheets of this lover’s heart where angels meet?
I can hear the world a-crashing down
Watch it as it tumbles from the sky into the ground

And I cannot be standing here
I will burn much brighter than this

‘Jesus Song’ Lyrics

Sing a song for me, sing of the apple or the golden tree
You’ve got no room for doubts in this life
You’ve got an aching in your bones and your muscles are uptight

I’ve got this friend that we all want to know and I’ll scream it out loud to the world
He’s got a dream with his face and his hands, he’s gonna make this world part of his own
Black shirt, suit and a tie or a dress to wear for this song
And a choir of angels sing in the halls of my home

Golden clouds fly above my home, my mountainous home and I
Walk through the fields that my father had sown
When I was a young boy he sat me down
He said “Jeremy I’ve got this person you should meet now, he is a friend of mine”

He is a friend that we all want to know and I’ll scream it out loud to the world
He’s got a dream with his face and his hands, he’s gonna make this world part of his own
Black shirt, suit and a tie or a dress to wear for this song
And a choir of angels sing in the halls of my home

A deathly innovation stalking through the night
The power of choice sets this world on fire,
My friend he walks beside the water
A silent shadow speaking out for me

I’ve got this friend that we all want to know and I scream it out loud to the world
He’s got a dream with his face and his hands, he’s gonna make this world part of his own
Black shirt, suit and a tie or a dress to wear for this song
And a choir of angels sing in the halls of my home

‘Prostitute’ Lyrics

I can feel the sun moving higher as I begin my day watch
And the heat makes me sink to the floor I feel like I want to die
Ice cold in the parlour I’m believing,
The world only wants to destroy and deceive but admirers taunt and they sneer
But here all I say

Give me a dime to make mine and I’ll call you baby
Give me a dollar and I’ll give you what you desire
And you don’t want any part of my life you just want our time alone
Give me a dime to make mine and I’ll call you baby say no more

The moon is rising high above the ceiling and the park is full of doves
But the men here are like animals, I feel so under clothed
Night-time is made for passion but mine is long since gone
And the men here before me are staring right at me what, what should I say?

Give me a dime to make mine and I’ll call you baby
Give me a dollar and I’ll give you what you desire
And you don’t want any part of my life, you just want our time alone
Give me a dime to make mine and I’ll call you baby say no more

Lately it seems I no longer care
Lately it seems the stars have stopped winking at me
All I know I have run the edge of my race
How much longer do I have to go I need some comfort please

Give me a dime to make mine and I’ll call you baby
Give me a dollar and I’ll give you what you desire
And you don’t want any part of my life, you just want our time alone
Give me a dime to make mine and I’ll call you baby

‘Brothers’ Lyrics

My brothers when I think of you the stars start banging in my skull
Families of rocks that pound my body and my spiritual
You’re like a foundation that I must continually hold onto
Making my life this clear is not something everybody can do

Friendship is as strong as love but family is the greater thing
What I have with my brothers man runs deeper than any words you can sing
It’s the mystery of the world and the mystery of this bond that makes it so unique
You can play the piper peter man but our purpose is more prominent

You’ve go to listen now, you’ve got to listen now, you’ve got to
You’ve go to listen now, you’ve got to listen now, you’ve got to

Even in this darkness even in my soul happiness can spark from the smallest of hope
Even in this darkness even in my soul happiness can spark from the smallest of hope

My brothers when I think of you the stars start banging in my head
An avalanche of snow and grit that leaves me feeling oh so fresh
It’s the mystery of the world and the mystery of this bond that makes it so unique
What I have with my brothers man runs deeper than any word you can speak

You’ve go to listen now, you’ve got to listen now, you’ve got to
You’ve go to listen now, you’ve got to listen now
Even in this darkness even in my soul happiness can spark from the smallest of hope
Even in this darkness even in my soul happiness can spark from the smallest of hope

‘Firedrop’ Lyrics

Playing ain’t the same when the suns getting nearer
Feel a burn in the music a note that rings so fresh
I sit here in a peace of mind,
Peace of heart, peace of soul trying to rhyme
Bring the Word back, bring the Word
And adding music to my scene, like lime to the water
To make it more like me

A space isn’t empty unless it’s void
A heart isn’t filled unless with joy, what can I say to a feeling like this?
A change will come

Cruising Sunday afternoon the sun beats down on my weathered roof
To the sea or to the lake, no matter what path we take
We got to keep on moving with our feet on the ground and our souls
With room, with room to glide

Drop like the fire, drop like the firedrop
Like the firedrop, like the firedrop,
Like the fire, sky high

Relationships are mandatory
To live your life with meaning or story
To make the most of each day

Playing ain’t the same when the suns getting nearer
Feel a burn in the music a note that rings so fresh
I sit here in a peace of mind
Peace of heart, peace of soul trying to rhyme
Bring the Word back, bring the Word

I sit here in a peace of mind
Peace of heart, peace of soul trying to rhyme
Bring the Word back, bring the Word

‘Hold On’ Lyrics

I cannot breath, I cannot sleep
When the thought of you breaks under my skin
And I am clear till the end, fresh rain, clear like the sea, like the street
I hope my eyes hold onto the light forever more

And now that the storm clouds are glowing red
If I could take back what I said

Hold onto me, yeah would you hold onto me
If that were the case I’d thank the lord
Hold onto me, yeah would you please look at me
Not the case and I’ll back off, back off

I cannot breath, I cannot act
Though this pistol point is staring straight at me
If I lose my head once again
If I become that dangerous man
There will be no hallelujah
Move away! Back away! they scream
Where is my girl when I’m most in need, most in line, most out of tact, most desperate?

And now that the storm clouds are glowing red
If I could take back what I said

Hold onto me, yeah would you hold onto me
If that were the case I’d thank the lord
Hold onto me, yeah would you please look at me
Not the case and I’ll back off, back off girl

Hold onto me, yeah would you hold onto me
If that were the case I’d thank the lord

‘Life On A Note’ Lyrics

A cool south blowing wind sweeps across the door
Afternoon sun across the courtyard and I talk to myself
Music playing strings are talking things are working well
Trying to imagine life without the turning of cells

I see many things in shapes and hues,
Sometimes I think in them, in them I see you
To imagine a sense of creative in life and song
On what side are you on, whose can you be on?

A villa of modern day in black and grey
Compares itself to older times where roots where frayed
I’m scared that if, if I dig too deep
The past will come up and take me by, take me by my feet

So in case you’re gone and the past won’t stay
I’ll put my feelings and time together in what I play
Music is my soul companion, trust in life
If you put that aside a hollow life is what you will find

Music friendship love of life and wine
Kind of feeling sublime
Performance of a kind as we lift ourselves
Amongst the times, the times
