Idea 70 There For You

 

I know you've had a hard time

And now you're not feeling at all

Feels like it'll be here to stay

But then I know it'll fade in time

You know my love is here for you

 

One day the pain will go

And I'll be there too

I'll look back and see this for you

And you'll find me waiting

And if you fall, I will call,

Waiting for you

I'll be there

Waiting for you

 

Don't need no reward

Don't need you come to me

The pain will fade to the sound of the sea

And one day

I'll look back and see

That I was right to

Be there for you

 

So if you fall

I'll look to you, I'll know

You'll stand and look at me

You stand so free

It ain't my pride, it ain't some secret inside,

It ain't some strategy to keep you tied to me

 

And I'll wait at Heaven's gate

If life's too late, I will wait

And should you fall, I will call

Cos you're my friend, you're my friend

And I will wait, I will wait

 

And one day in the dark night I will be there

In the bright sunlight

And I will be there when the morning rises

When you get surprised that I love you

But my love is just for you and will be forevermore

Forevermore I will wait, I will stay, if you should call

For that day won't come too soon

And the nostalgia I have for the past

I'll have for the future too

I'll have for the future too

Mermaid Rolls ( Was Idea 7 )

 

Simon smith august 11 2007

 

Kisses on the beach are no good honey

If you don't need me

I woke this morning and found you lying

In the deep blue sea

 

Well mermaid rolls are rolling to me

Bringing you to me

I don't care if they're feeling lonely

Cos that's the way they're supposed to be

 

Well kiss me gently with the kiss of life

I don't want you to go

So if you need me if you leave me

Don't say don't, don't say go oh no more

 

Well the stars were pouring from the skies

I didn't care to look

I sat down

And read the story from

Your picture book

 

Well your legs they wrapped around me darling

I felt you pulling me down

But you were trying to tell me

Not to drown

 

Well Love comes quickly

Then it slides

All over my face

I don't if it's here

That you want to take my place

But I'm gonna go

 

Oh well Love

I need you here now

Don't walk away

Don't leave me here now

Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here now

 

I need you here now

Don't walk away

Don't leave me here now

Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here now

I need you a here girl

Take me

Take me around

And lead me away girl

Take you

Take you

Take ya, Take ya along time

Long time

Long time leave me here girl

Oh everybody's running around

Don't keep me, keep me

A keep me, keep me

Keep me girl

In your heart

In your heart

That's where it starts girl

That's where it starts girl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cried Blue ( Was Idea 6 )

 

Simon Smith 11 th July 2007

 

I've walked the hangman's noose

In my blue suede shoes

I listened to the News

And saw it was no use

But I

Was climbing to the shore

To find you once more

I couldn't leave without telling you

How I needed you

How I bleed for you

I read the lines of your epitaph for me

For you

 

I walked the pebble shore to see the girl who lives no more

I walked to find you

On the pebble shore

Ohohoh

 

Barefoot I will walk to you

And through lost thoughts I will talk to you

And through the night I will cry

I will die

 

So take my heart and take my soul

Take everything that you used to want to control

And live without me babe and see how it feels

To watch the boat sail out

Through Autumn deals

 

Cos I will leave you

You know I'm gonna go

And someday will look back and know

That you were wrong

Your love was not strong

You were falling apart when I needed you

You were stalling your heart to turn me blue

And I will die without you

And you will cry without me

And the rivers will fall

From a hundred dead trees

 

Oh I will lie with you

Through my ghostly night

You will feel me hold you tight

And you will lose me as I have lost you

As I will lose you through this blue

And you will die knowing that I

Was the one who cried for you

Who cried blue

Who cried Blue

Who Cried for you

Whispers of blue

Whispers of Blue

Whispers of Blue

 

And you will fall

Like a soldier falls

When my heart calls

When my heart calls

 

 

 

Blue

 

© 2007 Simon Smith and Paul Tanner

 

We've been a racing against time

Don't know if you'll be mine

But my heart, is waiting for you

And the night time

Will you be there when I need you

Will you sing me songs of blue

Will your setiments be true

Will you fill me with the deepest and the true

 

Blue ( long )

 

Well I sit in my night chair

And I hold memories of you

But the truth

It's so hard

To take sometimes

That I don't want to be true to you

Don't want to fill you

With blue

 

Blue ( long )

 

 

Well the times they come and go

I think of you and you know

But the times they will change

If you stay still

Or if you're filled with fear

Then you'll never come here

And feel the blue

 

Blue ( repeat until end )

 

 

Waiting For You

(c) Simon Smith August 11th 2007

 

Well The sun is setting

And I'm sitting in my room

Waiting for you to come

In to my life

The door is open and the breeze upon my face

I'm sitting here

Waiting for you

 

 

I've travelled the world

And I've seen a million people

Who said hello and goodbye to my heart

The day has come and the night will pass

Will you come to me

Well the sun is setting on my woeful days

I have been paying for the time

Will you come to me when I will lay

Will you come to me when I lie down and cry

The story comes and it leaves me still

I've dreamt of you through the long dark night

And woke to find you weren't real

My soul is searching

Through the world for you

Will you come to me?

 

 

Hip to Waist Ratio

 

18/09/2007 Simon Smith London UK

 

You dance with strangers in places I don't go

Walking by you show me your hip and waist ratio

4 bars

You talk of secrets that I don't know

Your mind's in places I don't want to go

2 bars

You're telling stories God wrote on your hands

But it ain't love that pulls me to your land

But my lovin' it's so shallow

When it comes to your hip and waist ratio

2 bars

Your tattooed back in front of my eyes

Oh Baybeeeey I don't want to go

To your hip and waist ratio

Punctuation

There's plenty I could teach you

Plenty I could say

Plenty I could tell you

That'll make you come my way

There's plenty I'd sing to you

Plenty I might pray

But Baby all I want to know is your hip to waist ratio

 

Something from school I didn't learn

How a ratio can really turn you on

Did you want me to come and go

Did you want me to notice your hip and waist ratio

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forever Today ( was idea 29)

 

© Simon Smith 9th July 2007

 

When it's coming to an end

You wanna know if it was worth the starting

If it was worth the show

When it's coming to an end

Love pays the price

Don't care how much it burns if it feels like it was ice

 

It doesn't matter that you're leaving

Take that drive away

Comeback tomorrow

Or comeback today

 

It don't matter if you're driving away

Or you get the train

As long as I get to feel you

In my arms again

 

When you said you'd love me forever

I didn't think it meant today

Didn't think your love would ever go away

 

I didn't think you'd leave me

Crying and alone

I didn't think you'd leave me

But now you're gone

 

I don‘t care if you're going

As long as you stay

I don‘t care if you're going

As long as you comeback my way

 

I didn't think you'd ever be gone

I didn't think I'd ever sing this song

I didn't think you'd go away

But you're not here today

 

Don't care if you're going

Don't care if you stay

I don‘t care if you're going

As long as you come my way

 

I didn't think you'd leave me

Battered and alone

I didn't think you'd leave me

But now you're gone

 

I was yours and you were mine

Breathless nights in the summertime

I didn't know you were going then

Thought we'd always be friends

 

 

 

 

Don't care if you're going

Don't care if you stay

I don‘t care if you're going

As long as you come my way

 

On my own, On my own, On my own

 

Now you're gone a gone a gone gone

A gone gone gone a gone

On my own, On my own

 

Now you're gone a gone a gone gone

A gone gone gone a gone

On my own, On my own On my own

On my own, On my own , On my own

 

Do You Love Me Like I Love You

 

Simon Smith © 21 st December 2007

 

Six long years since I first saw you

It's been so long I don't know when

Started as lovers, slowly became friends,

Then slowly it came to an end.

 

But I always thought of you

I always felt so blue

I always thought that I'd get in touch

And you'd come back

And we'd be in love again

 

Well you went your way

Did you think if me every day?

Did you love me like I loved you?

Did you feel blue like I felt blue?

Did you feel the way that I do?

Do you need me like I need you?

 

Cos I feel like we're lost souls

And we shouldn't ever part

My life is like a black hole

As is the place where was my heart

 

Will you love me like I love you?

I'd share everything that I have

Just to feel our love is true

 

So do you love me like I love you?

Do you want to be with me?

I'd share everything that I am

I'll always set you free

 

So do you love me like I love you?

Is my heart of no concern

Is this place that I love you

A dream of your return

 

So do you love me like I love you?

Will we walk and talk together

If I knew that you'd be there

I would wait for you forever

 

So do you love me like I love you?

Do you want to be with me

I'd share everything that I am

Just to set you free

 

Idea 6 Here Today

© Simon Smith July 2007

 

Long time you come to me

Don't know where you will be

My heart is leaving town tomorrow

 

But in tonight I'll come to see you

Come to hold you

Every night til then

I'll be your friend

 

In tonight and out tomorrow

That's the way it's gonna be

Everybody dances slowly

Round the willow tree

 

Georgia May has said she'll come

Down to the stream in the autumn night

Every time she looks at me

I go weak as weak as can be

 

Oh well now's the time to leave me

Now's the time to go

Don't you ever grieve for me

Cos darlin' I won't go

I won't go

 

In the night I'm calling you

From a train that's going by

Don't you look out your window baby

Or you'll see me cry for you

Or you'll see me die for you

 

Long time out to sea I saw you

Waving me goodbye

I didn't want to wave to you

I just wanted to see you cry for me

I just want to see you dyin' for me

 

I just want to lie down

I just wanna see ya lyin for me

I just wanna see the way you'd be

 

Without me

Without me

Without me

Without me


Every time

 

© Simon Smith 2007

 

 

Every time you come my way

Time is standing still

Every time you kiss me

I feel fulfilled

Every time you go away sadness comes my way

Every time you leave me my heart just prays

So come with me baby

Don't go away

I need you with me

Every night and day

Don't go away

Can't stand this feeling

I need you near me

 

Through the night time

I wait for you

Through the night time

I'm looking out for you

 

So please come baby

Hold me tight

Don't go away

Please come baby

I need you night and day

Every time you leave me

All I do is pray

For you to come

Come

Come

Come my way

Come my way

Oh come my way

 

Every time you walk away

Think this of me

I'll be laying in the gutter

And looking out to see

To see if you're coming

Coming back to me

 

 

 


Come come come along

Come and sing my song

It doesn't matter if you are right

Cos I'm probably gonna be wrong

 

Sing it loud and sing it clear

Sing it anyway that you wanna hear it

 

Come come along

 


Don't Run Away

 

 

Run, go ahead,

Don't run away from me

Come

Take away the night

You're running

Away from me

You don't know what you see

Come away from me

Run to me

I'll stop your tears from falling

Around my feet

 

Come away from me

Will you

Set me free

 

 

 

 

Idea 4

Simon Smith july 11 2007

 

You were falling

I felt go away

I reached to hold you

But you had to let me go

 

And you didn't know that I loved you

And you didn't know that I cared

And all our life was shared with others

And you could not despair or care for me

How could it be?

 

Well you were there and you were holding on

To some distant song that you'd heard

On the news one day

You'd thought you'd play along

You didn't know that

You were wrong to find me

To find me

In the ocean seas

What could you take from me

What could you take then leave

What could you take apart from me

 

Oh it's time to leave me.

 

 

 

Don't you Know? ( Was Idea 8 )

 

Simon Smith July 11th 2007

 

Kiss me and touch my heart

It's been a long time

Long time

Well don't you know

The sun it shine

In to your window time

Upon this heart of mine

 

Don't you know that

When you talk you talk

Directly to my heart

Feeling part

 

Don't you know

When you go

Feel my heart

Tear apart

 

Well kisses in the morning

They greet me with your smile

I don't know if you're going away

It ain't your style

 

Well my love comes to you

Kiss you deep and true

And everybody turns and waves

And says that they love you

 

Will you cry away

Will you walk to me

Will you hold me in the night

And soothe away

The fears in me.
