Copyright Simon Smith London 1994
One hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid The sun sets the road on fire While a bride in black dances for a lift Angels come to cool my brow With visions of the here and now The silent thoughts that pass us by With electric words that haunt the sky The city greets us like we're old friends While Jesus, his arms outstretched, Tells us to come again And the US jets circle overhead If you forgive they won't forget In this land of grace We came and went without a trace August 1989 We drove fast to the borderline I could feel the Angels flying Backwards against time At one hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid An Angel passed in reverse Revealing the size of the universe
IF YOU FALL Copyright Simon Smith 3rd Feb 1994 Maybe next time you're in town we'll talk of old times I'll recite your letters baby and you'll forget mine We were only playing when you first said love me So I asked how long will it last and you said catch me I've got a friend who says that you're the enemy So when we meet we'll speak diplomatically And when we reminisce it'll be selectively And when we kiss it'll be selectively So stay a while, go back in time Put your breast to this heart of mine The memory lies, but the feeling's true So if you fall then I'll catch you And if you fall then I'll catch you You run around town in your wedding dress The fabric is perfect, but your life is a mess It's so easy to get the issue confused The memory lies but the feeling's true So if you fall then I'll catch you And if you fall then I'll catch you Then I'll catch you So if you fall then I'll catch you.
(Fast beat version - Ideas version) Copyright Simon Smith London 12.3.1994 & 1,07.1994 The sun was red in a hazy sky I could taste your sweat as you walked by Our bodies were dancing in fluid air Our minds were singing "I don't care" I could feel your weight as you stood there. I could feel the softness of your hair I could feel the pain of losing you And the red sky Turns blue. And the red sky Turns blue. Summer sun nights Green and white neon light The distant sound of TV Breathless you lie beside me. The street light across your body Cries out for the moon I could have sworn that I loved you From the depths of your room It was one of those yellow red evenings When Life was receding Into a night of sweat and sleepless breathing The street light across your body Cries out for the moon I could have sworn that I loved you From the depths of your womb You could let your mind get high While your mouth drinks from the sky You could open your windows wide And let your body float or fly The morning air is moving in Like a thief steals a kiss upon your skin I could have sworn that he loved you But who knows who speaks the truth?
1994 Copyright Simon Smith Some girls they come and go Like I switch off the TV turn on the radio So why'd do you want to let me go so lonely So why'd do you want to let me go so lonely Cos now I'm crying, crying, I'm crying. Some girls they like to hold me Don't let me go for a night time Well it could be a life time So why'd do you want to let me go so lonely Cos now I'm crying, crying, I'm crying. So why'd do you want to let me go so lonely In the half light you looked so beautiful Like a dream that I will never see again In the half light you left me feeling terrible Like I'd never breathe again So why'd do you want to let me feel like dying? Used to believe what you said But the sky was our love and our love was red I used to think it was dusk But the Sun had just risen a warning on us Well I'm crying, crying, I'm crying So why'd do you want to let me go so lonely Well I'm crying, crying, I'm crying.
1994 Copyright Simon Smith On sunny afternoons I like to get in my car and cruise But I'd be crazy to think that's where I'd find you. And where the wind carresses you I'd like to be there too But I'll be crazy dreaming my life away I get up and work so hard Just so I can make myself tired And go to sleep And dream of you. Sometimes I can almost touch your face Sometimes I feel our embrace And I'd be crazy Not to be in love with you. The clouds are crying "will you be mine?" But I'd be crazy Not to be trying. I lie in bed and dream of you And one day that dream's gonna come true And then I'll dream with you.

COPYRIGHT SIMON SMITH. LONDON. 16 JUNE 94 The first time I saw you baby You were lying in a pool The image remaining hazy As summer dreams always do I was trying to contact you I was trying to Visualise living with you My loves I could feel you calling Swimming around my heart I could hold you forever And we'd never part I'll be flying for you I'll be crying for you I'll be dancing, singing, Loving living For you my love you my love. I was calling from A staircase in my mind You were stretched across The skies of dreams I'd left behind You were spinning around Like a bridal gown Like a shadow moves on open ground Like a summers swirling cloud of rain Like an angel comes to live again I was trying to throw you words Like I catch a ball [I'm hopeless at catching balls] I was trying to get through life By not living at all, but now I'm flying for you I'm crying for you I'm dancing, singing, Loving living for you My loves......
Copyright Simon Smith October / November 1994 London UK I could see your eyes move my way I tried to ignore the games we play But I was powerless to resist The healing touch of tenderness Because you can't always remember What you tried to forget No you can't always remember What you tried to forget I was up all night Watched the sky roll by But if there's no love Then my heart will die And if you're feeling emptiness You need the touch of tenderness And if you're feeling in distress Come in from the wilderness Because you can't always remember What you tried to forget No you can't always remember What you tried to forget Well take care my baby There's something I've got to tell you Those skies are grey Where your eyes were blue And if you're feeling emptiness You need the touch of tenderness And if you're feeling in distress Come in from the wilderness Because you can't always remember What you tried to forget No you can't always remember What you tried, what you tried to forget

1994 COPYRIGHT SIMON SMITH LONDON 30 JANUARY 1994 It was a clear day, January 1994 The sea had risen to my front door You were sleeping in a boat That gently drifted to the shore And I wonder if you still dream of me If you still care about what used to be. It was a clear day The sky was a spacious kind of blue I saw a plane's trail like a memory fade Reminded me of you. Dorothy was on the TV Her songs she sang so sweetly She said how much she needed me And home is where the heart used to be Sometimes I sit and pretend, we're living by the sea The waves are breaking our hearts, Where the front door used to be Sometimes I sit and wonder if you remember me Sometimes I sit and pretend what couldn't would have been It was a clear day, January 1994, The waves were breaking our hearts, against the door. And I wander if you care, if you know, That I think of you sometimes And I wonder if you still dream of me If you still care for what used to be. The lights go out and the curtains close The houses moor for the night I sing of you While you put out the harbour lights It was a clear day, January 1994 The sea had risen to my front door You were sleeping in a boat That gently drifted to the shore And I wonder if you still dream of me If you still care about what used to be.
