Taste Of Love

If this is what love tastes like – let's breathe the love that’s in the air

And if there is no heaven – please bring your love for me to share

If a heartbeat feels like rainbows – and your eyes could speak of what they see

Would the waters of your fountain – rain your love right down on me?

​​

Is this the taste? The taste of love

The taste of love in the stars above

Is this the taste? Will love decide?

Is this a love – a love you hide?

​

If love was made of diamonds – to reflect so perfectly

I’d shout your name forever – to echo where you go with me

Lead me to your haven – where heaven is the love we know

Take my hand – the hand I show - or once again just let me go

​

Is this the taste? The taste of love

The taste of love in the stars above

Is this the taste? Will love decide?

Is this a love – a love you hide?

​

Is love the heart of daydreams? A love of life for us to share

Or now a lonely journey – is the taste of love one to beware

If love was time in moments – now lost in words unspoken

Of our memories – I wonder when – the taste I love – the taste I loved was broken

​

Is this the taste? The taste of love

The taste of love in the stars above

Is this the taste? Will love decide?

Is this a love – a love you hide?

​

And when we've found our touch – some sacred place we’d be

Please once again let destiny taste our love's eternity​​

Does It Matter

If this is what love tastes like – let's breathe the love that’s in the air

And if there is no heaven – please bring your love for me to share

If a heartbeat feels like rainbows – and your eyes could speak of what they see

Would the waters of your fountain – rain your love right down on me?

​​

Is this the taste? The taste of love

The taste of love in the stars above

Is this the taste? Will love decide?

Is this a love – a love you hide?

​

If love was made of diamonds – to reflect so perfectly

I’d shout your name forever – to echo where you go with me

Lead me to your haven – where heaven is the love we know

Take my hand – the hand I show - or once again just let me go

​

Is this the taste? The taste of love

The taste of love in the stars above

Is this the taste? Will love decide?

Is this a love – a love you hide?

​

Is love the heart of daydreams? A love of life for us to share

Or now a lonely journey – is the taste of love one to beware

If love was time in moments – now lost in words unspoken

Of our memories – I wonder when – the taste I love – the taste I loved was broken

​

Is this the taste? The taste of love

The taste of love in the stars above

Is this the taste? Will love decide?

Is this a love – a love you hide?

​

And when we've found our touch – some sacred place we’d be

Please once again let destiny taste our love's eternity​​

Is It Me?

You told me that you loved me but didn’t tell me how

Every time I ask to know you simply say not now

Your never ending moment is written in my eyes

Can it be misread – my mistake be your disguise

So let me see your wisdom in a future frame with me

And sit for moments quietly and answer when I plea

Instead you run to places without me laughing free

​

Are we heading into battle, on a path I cannot see?

Is there to be a battle - is it waiting there for me?

Oh it's on the battleground I do not want to be

I’ll leave my heart on the battleground but I need my dignity

​

I feel I’m treading water like a heart in vacant dreams

I wonder as I wander, is it everything it seems?

When you reach into my heart I see a place in time

That’s when loving you has moments ever so sublime

Can a little hope and thought belie a kiss

Which easily makes up again for all those things I miss

Then once again you run to places laughing free

I don’t know the answer  – is it you or is it me?

​

Are we heading into battle, on a path I cannot see?

Is there to be a battle - is it waiting there for me?

Oh it's on the battleground I do not want to be

I’ll leave my heart on the battleground but I need my dignity

​

Take my hand and squeeze it – please won't you let me know

 That now and then you hold a care to never let me go

I seem to chase perceptions whatever is at play

Is it just your heatwave challenging my day?

When I touch your skin to claim our destiny 

 Is the world I understand as one to one can be

 Or are you already running to places without me

​

Are we heading into battle, on a path I cannot see?

Is there to be a battle - is it waiting there for me?

Oh it's on the battleground I do not want to be

I’ll leave my heart on the battleground but I need my dignity

 

Are we heading into battle, on a path I cannot see?

Is there to be a battle - is it waiting there for me?

Oh it's on the battleground I do not want to be

I’ll leave my heart on the battleground but I need my dignity

Unexpected Love

At the corner café, he sat reading with a wistful look

I could tell what he was thinking, instead I asked about his book

His eyes so round and deeply green – threw sparkles with his glance

He invited me to sit, and said “come talk with me a while”

And in those words a truth was born  – an everlasting smile

 

We talked of things and spoke of love

And touched on what was when and why

I wondered what was happening and why I was so high

That was when he glanced outside – and just like that goodbye

I waited there for hours – the tears of time upon my cheek

I dreamt of what is love and what it is I seek

​

Time is not an anecdote for what has gone before

It just carries us along - what is new is what it's for

Yet I coffee every day at that café on the corner

My heart had tasted love – I found it hard to keep on going

Ever dreaming, ever hoping, deep regret in never knowing

​

My mind just keeps reflecting like mirrors in the sun

Of that accidental meeting – could he have been the one?

I imagine I am calling him but don’t even know his name

Like hide and seek in fields of hearts as day turns night to day

In that café every time, I dare my dream to stay

​

Time is not an anecdote for what has gone before

It just carries us along – what is new is what it's for

Yet I coffee every day at that café on the corner

My heart had tasted love – I found it hard to keep on going

Ever dreaming, ever hoping, deep regret in never knowing

                                  

I quit that café, and my job - took a train to anywhere

One twist of fate, one seat away, he just sat right there  

I held my breath, he looked (she looked) and smiled a gift to me

Then he moved and down sat opposite, with a simple “could it be”

His apology was in his words, “can I talk again with you” 

And so we did, and still we do and every day our love is new

​

Time is not an anecdote for what has gone before

It just carries us along what is new is what its for

At that corner café every day we now sit and talk things through

The past we share is always there you are my dream come true

Ever knowing ever showing – I love you

Suns Worth

Yeah, your sun is shinin’ – bring us your silver linin’

Yeah, your sun shines through

Yeah, your sun is shinin’ – your sun is so invitin’

It's like a thermal linin' 

The sun is shinin’ over you

 

Can be lots and lots of  funny little things

That make us jump out of the way

That is when you kick it, buy another ticket and lighten up your day

So what the heck – and so be it –  no point in wasting time

They can knock you down, they can blow you up, or try to keep you blind

For what it's worth – its good to see you open up your mind

 

Yeah, your sun is shinin’ – bring us your silver linin’

Oh yeah, your sun shines through

Oh yeah, your sun is shinin’ – your sun is so invitin’

It's like a thermal linin' 

The sun is shinin’ over you

​

When it's complicated – its so overrated

Just look beyond and step on through

The world is waitin’ for you – those you know adore you

And hope the looking glass is too

So you just flick your hair yeah – and raise your chin up there

And click your heels if so inclined

You can hear the cheer – from those you know are near

Let your instinct help you find

 

Yeah, your sun is shinin’ – bring us your silver linin’

Oh yeah, your sun shines through

Oh yeah, your sun is shinin’ – your sun is so invitin’

It's like a thermal linin' 

The sun is shinin’ over you

                                 

And when it's rain –  play this again – ‘cos it's not here to stay

There’s so much fun – dancing in the sun – restore your energy and play

Recite your mantra over – navigate a path in clover

My favorite is 'just do it now'

Yeah, just do it, I say – yeah, just laugh away

And think about not if, but how

​

Yeah, your sun is shinin’ – bring us your silver linin’

Oh yeah, your sun shines through

Oh yeah, your sun is shinin’ – your sun is so invitin’

It's like a thermal linin'

The sun is shinin’ over you

Geoff

‘Bout fifty years ago, he rang out of the blue

"Hey DB, learn guitar, I wanna sing with you"

He always had that touch – something hard to nail

Country rock and rollies – no way we’d ever fail

We found harmonies in rhyme – he’d say "let's do it one more time"

The sparkle in his voice would leave no other choice

​

Seems so long ago – different bands and different faces

Different pubs and 'roll your owns' in different places

I think he knew the path of fate

It’s a little sad life couldn’t wait

I can just imagine Geoff cracking jokes with Peter

When he passed on through the gate

​

It seems he had a date with destiny, who knows

What matters is he lived the life he chose

Well that’s the way I saw it all those years ago

He would come to terms with things and say "that’s the way it goes"

Oh he was charming and disarming and as time passed I saw

He could chase a dream allowing others past his door

​

Two guitars and harmonies gigs galore and more

And of his fun one liners - I never kept a score

I think a sort of journeyman – sometimes he’d make you wait

I sort of hope that Geoff was just a little late and cracking jokes with Peter
When he passed on through the gate

​

These days when I think about it, we lived lucky - thank you, buddy

I fondly reminisce about those times

When our voices led the bands that we played – his lyrics led our rhymes

For a moment there I thought our songs would find a place in fame

Instead we quietly drifted, there were no harmonies again

It seemed there never was a path we could reclaim

And only on the grapevine – would hear mention of his name

I heard he’d gone up north of late, and if I had my time again

I’d call him up for old times’ sake

​

I’d say "I hope you're doin’ great – lets catch up make a date

It will be worth the wait - in the meantime – see ya later mate"

​

Yet, he knew the path of fate – a little sad it didn’t wait

But I like to imagine, Geoff cracking jokes with Peter
When he passed on through the gate

Wait For Me

We sail on into trouble on our restless hidden sea

Rolling on and on like waves so endlessly

And every time the tide is out it's me you cannot see

Blinded by the stormy cloud that hovers endlessly

Will you leave?

or in me believe

​

I’m only lonely 

I'm only lonely

I'm only lonely

Will you please wait for me

​

Can we settle down again in fields of gold and green

In those early morning moments, your breath on me so clean

And touch those tender thoughts that leave us breathlessly

What I would give to hold in time a timeless unity

Will you leave?

Or in me believe

 

I’m only lonely 

I'm only lonely

I'm only lonely

Will you come back to me

     

In tears there is no sorrow when they fall upon the sun

Could that dream just die and die in vain before it has begun

We had paragraphs together, our photographs were one

Can you come my way again or is our storyline now done

Will you leave?

​

I’m only lonely 

I'm only lonely

I'm only lonely

Will you please wait for me

​

For me to read your mind please cast aside your veil

Like mirrors full of wisdom let moments tell the tale

Like a single tiny tear falls on the glass of age

One lonely word to cry for me or turn another page

Will you leave?

Or in me believe

​

I’m only lonely 

I'm only lonely

I'm only lonely

Will you come back to me

Please hold my hand and see

To Be Seen

Who tells you when to change things?

Who says to question why?

Who tells you that your paths ordained?

Or tries to make you justify?


Like laughing out in public

Do you care for those who stare

What did you hear in all their talk

Never mind, the dream express is everywhere

​

One day upon the catwalk

Walking to be seen

Like walking on the catwalk of time

What does it mean?

 

And in the simplest bits and pieces

Your chances take their place

There’s no question ‘bout the timeframe

And the frailty that you face

 

It's always when you least expect it

Like moments in between

So carry on, don’t hold you breath

One day you will be seen

 

One day upon the catwalk

Walking to be seen

Like walking on the catwalk of time

What does it mean?

 

There’s talk of all the instances

When your taken for a ride

It's hard to stop the tail you chase

And why things coincide

 

And somewhere in the shifting light

When you’ve raised the flag you’ve woven

There’s no past tense, or false defence

For the destiny you’ve chosen

 

One day upon the catwalk

Just walking to be seen

Like walking on the catwalk of time

What does it mean?

 

Stop now, take a bow, just rest your case

The judge will work it out

For all the answers to your questions

In the future there’s no doubt

 

Somewhere out there there's a sequel

Did you miss it? There´s no harm done

That’s when we are all equal

And in the end you’ve won

Why

Why do I wonder

When you're not there?

When I am under

Why do you care?

When nothing's going right 

You're there for me

You hold me the sunlight

And help me to see

​

Summer is your sweet hand

Held out to me

Summer is your sweet love

Infinity

 

Why do I wonder

When you're not here?

When I hear thunder

Why are you near?

When nothing's easy

You honour me

You hold me the sunlight

And help me to see

 

Summer is your sweet hand

Held out to me

Summer is your sweet love

Infinity

 

Why is it shaded

When you're away?

When I am jaded

Why do you stay?

 

When I am struggling

You help me to see

You hold me the sunlight

And set my love free

 

Summer is your sweet hand

Held out to me

Summer is your sweet love

Infinity

Laughing Dancing

Singin' out in the morning – laughing in the dew

Calling out in the sunshine – salute to the 'I can do'

Mondays gotta be workin’- looking for what's new

And when daytime closes eyes on you

You quietly sigh and let things go by

‘cos long ago you stopped wondering why

​

Look how you're walkin’

Got ya head held high

Look now who’s talking

With ya head held high

 

Singing out in the twilight, new tunes without care

Drinking up the moonlight – long beyond your stare

Saturdays gotta be smiling – things to do out there

And when the evening shadows say goodnight

Another tune you hum, a little lullaby

Then you share your dreams – and fly

 

Look how you're walkin’

Got ya head held high

Look now who’s talking

With ya head held high

 

‘Cos now you dance to your own blue sky

 

Singing out for a lifetime  - dancing to its tango

Crying out to the rainbows, shout to them all “I can so”

Tomorrows gonna be flying – something's in the air

And when the twilight wraps around you

You quietly sigh - let no love go by

‘Cos the heart you know you can justify

 

Look how you're walkin’

Got ya head held high

Look now who’s talking

With ya head held high

 

‘Cos now you dance to your own blue sky

‘Cos now you dance to your own blue sky

‘Cos now you dance to your own blue sky

Susceptibility

When time is time - but you don’t see

The dance you dance – it sets you free

The guitar heat, your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

 

There is no time for indecision

You hit the floor with such precision

You plant your feet – take your position

Throw away your inhibition

My guitar beat your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

 

And so we jam and cook the gas

Gotta groove to get and make it last

Sweatin' hard - the heat of light

Hustle hard - your eyes delight

My guitar beat your liberty

that’s your one susceptibility

 

When time is time - but you don’t see

The dance you dance – it sets you free

The guitar heat your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

 

In the pubs and halls the music talks

Country rock it walks the walks

Close your eyes and then you‘ll see

The dance you dance you dance is me    

My guitar beat, your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

 

When time is time - but you don’t see

The dance you dance – it sets you free

The guitar heat, your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

 

When the lights are out - The noise is gone

One more dance where you belong

My instrument the back beat burns

Taking you in twists and turns

My guitar beat, your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

 

When time is time - but you don’t see

The dance you dance – it sets you free

The guitar heat, your liberty

That’s your one susceptibility

Like We Do

Sometimes when were walking, talking, trying to think things through

Speaking of why we love and do the things we do

It leaves me holding time like a momentary pause

To contemplate and wonder do we think about the cause

 

And so I ask

Whadda you want – whadda you want

That’s when I ask

Wadda you want, wadda you want

What do you want from me

To hold me - breathe me

Need me - love me

That’s when I knew we love love like I do

Yeah that’s when I knew you love me like you do

That’s when I knew we love love like we do

 

Its funny when you think about it – we go though life in bits

Yeah when were not wondering – were trying to find what fits

And in the distance is an always – a maybe what if and when

And sometimes I’m on standby just to know what you intend

 

And so I ask

Whadda you want – whadda you want

That’s when I ask

Whadda you want, whadda you want

What do you want from me

To hold me - breathe me

Need me - love me

That’s when I knew we love love like I do

Yeah, that’s when I knew you love me like you do

That’s when I knew we love love like we do

 

You asked me just the other day if I left would my heart break

Such a little question - so profound, was to answer a mistake

Now and then we talk like this - about what we think and share

It's like we test our love – but our love is always there

 

And so I ask

Whadda you want – whadda you want

That’s when I ask

Whadda you want, whadda you want

What do you want from me

To hold me - breathe me

Need me - love me

That’s when I knew we love love like I do

Yeah, that’s when I knew you love me like you do

That’s when I knew we love love like we do

​

That’s when I knew we love love like I do

(whadda you want of each other, whadda you wanna be)

Yeah, that’s when I knew you love me like you do

(whadda you want of each other, whadda you wanna be)

That’s when I knew we love love like we do

(whadda you want of each other, whadda you wanna be)
