Last night I drank to forget
And journeyed one thousand miles
Dancing in green fairy light
We waltzed and held awhile
One day Ill find your photograph
Of you and that distant smile
Last night I drank to forget
And journeyed one thousand miles
My Oh My
My Oh My
My Oh My
My Oh My
No great walls keep us as two
Like east and west I fell for you
Feels so close so far from home
Still this wall stands alone
Why does this weight bring me down?
Drowning in this distant town
No great walls keep us as two
Like east and west I fell for you
My Oh My
My Oh My
My Oh My
My Oh My
Shadows haunt these distant shores
Beauty in the light of dawn
Bullets mark a tragic past
This love was never meant to last
Beauty burns twice as bright
But this flame was lost tonight
Last night I drank to forget
And journeyed one thousand miles

Lolita
You’re not the only one
Lolita
He don’t love you hun
Twenty-eight years old
Still sixteen years too young
Lolita
She aint your mother son
I see ya
Lookin lost my love
Lolita
She’s lookin out for love
She works the night
But she aint no whore
This little night nurse
Just works the wards
Lolita
He’ll break your heart girl
Lolita
He’s a forty four
It’s a pill to swallow
But he’s a loaded gun
Lolita
Let him know you’re done

Hometown Dreams

It’s a two edged sword
These broken words
What could have been?
She’ll never know
Cos we grew out
Of hometown romance
Such childish dreams
Were overthrown
She won’t stay
She won’t stay
She wont stay – can’t catch her in the rye
She won’t stay
She won’t stay
She wont stay – can’t catch her in the rye
She turned so cold
At two hundred degrees
Eloquent smiles
Burnt autumn leaves
Roots that tie
Through family trees
Wont say goodbye
Cos they’ll never leave
She won’t stay
She won’t stay
She wont stay – can’t catch her in the rye
She won’t stay
She won’t stay
She wont stay – can’t catch her in the rye
Walk away from the edge
Save your innocence for another day
Stay away from the edge
Save your innocence for another day

I Wish I Knew

Morning light
Through open blinds
With you by my side
Your daddy said
He never knew
Why you were there for me?
Cos I wish I knew
What you see in me?
What you see in me?
Now I’m lost
Cos there you’ve gone
Simple truths leave me blind
Stole my heart
Ain’t got a spare
Left me numb standing there
Cos I wish I knew
What you see in me?
What you see in me?
Need some time
To drink this wine
To leave you all behind
Wish id found
Some more to say
Words to make you mine
Cos I wish I knew
What you see in me?
What you see in me?
What you see in me?
What you see in me?
What you see in me?
What you see in me?

Coffee

Just one more cup of coffee
Before I leave here in vain
Walking on so swiftly
Empty handed again
Just six months down the road
From the place that we met
Just one last cup of coffee
Is that the best I get?
You perculate so sweetly
Into this porous heart
How were we so fleeting?
Could I not play the part?
Funny how, these things
Come round once again
To leave me standing
To lose you in the rain
No more stolen kisses
Down maid marion way
Just one last embrace before
I watched you turn away
Thought I made you feel something
Don’t you feel the same way?
You let me down gently
As this coffee turned grey
