DAYDREAM
David William

Taking all my time on the waiting line to find Truth
Waking everyday to the sound I know I got proof
Watching from the side of the railroad track tomorrow
All your days are gone and all you will have is sorrow

So I go round round round
To the place I want to be
In a daydream I can see
Yeah I go down down down
So find out what you want
If its not enough then don't

Catching all the light on the sunny side of reason
Leaving far behind all the ones who needed pleasing
We could walk the miles then you tell me its all over
I could run behind and then see you turn the corner

So I go round round round
To the place I want to be
In a daydream I can see
Yeah I go down down down
So find out what you want
If its not enough then don't

We sail away
And yesterday is over
Cos what you want is what you'll find

If you go round round round
Yeah you'll go down down down
If you go round round round
To the place you want to be
In a daydream you can see
Yeah you'll go down down down
To find out what you want
If its not enough then don't


FORGOTTEN DAY
David William

Come to life I wanted to see you
Step aside I'll wait forever
Walking tightropes slow down baby
This will pass and you will feel in time

You lit the match but where's the fire
I'm seeing fine but I'm looking tired
And you can see what's real to me
And you can take it all away tonight

Low
Oh I saw where the day goes
Turn
I felt I was waiting for a chance to make it right

And ever since I wanted to wake up
I saw the stars up in the sky
And felt the clouds of rain above me
Watched the world go by without reply

So turn me down I want to be here
Burn me out cos I can be forever
Take a step its open wide
Cos you've got nothing left to hide behind

Low
Oh I saw where the day goes
Turn
I felt I was waiting for a chance to make it right

Come to life I wanted to see you
Step aside I'll wait forever
Walking tightropes slow down baby
This will pass and you will feel in time


THE DAYS BEFORE
David William

She opened up her door and the world stepped in
It was cold and dark and the light stood still
And all the places that she's ever been
They were distant from her burning mind

Wherever she lands she'll take the night
And I will believe that she is right
She won't see the days before

She took the time to paint her dreams again
In a velvet book they were black and white
Disappointment turned to anger and
She was left alone while the flame still burned

Wherever she lands she'll take the night
And I will believe that she is right
She won't see the days before
Wherever she hides its not enough
And I will be there to help her up
She won't see the days before

But she knows just why the sky above her
Is falling down on her
Here she goes calling out again
Maybe she's gone too far

Wherever she lands she'll take the night
And I will believe that she is right
She won't see the days before
Wherever she hides its not enough
And I will be there to help her up
She won't see the days before


CHASING GOLD
David William

I watch them go
Let go of all I know
I watch you come
From the distant lights

I've seen his face
A million times before
And I think of a different place
To be sure I'm sure

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely defeated but I've got my soul

Warm city rain
I can feel it in my veins
The eyes of you
Like the distant lights

Push and pull me through
Cos there's nothing else to do
Surrounded by fate
But I know I must wait

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely defeated but I've got my soul

Darkness has me
Not like it used to be
The eyes of you
Like the distant lights

So I keep my word
Believe in what I feel
If I go down too deep
Would you come with me?

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely defeated but I've got my soul

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely defeated so please now

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely defeated but I've got my soul


COVER IT UP
David William

Makes no sense what he's been given
Cos he can't see behind his eyes
Take a step towards the shadows
So no-one knows he's ever cried

And we all have to cover it up
And don't ask why
As the wind and rain go
Behind all the people there are lies
And I cannot find my soul

Feels so strange to hear it from you
And I don't know now who I am
Images fly past beside me
And I could be another man

And we all have to cover it up
And don't ask why
As the wind and rain go
Behind all the people there are lies
And I cannot find my soul

Tell me you won't feel the same way
Holding to the past
Throw it out and bring it back in
Just don't be the last

And we all have to cover it up
And don't ask why
As the wind and rain go
Behind all the people there are lies
And I cannot find my soul


RAIN ON ME
David William

Rain on me
Let a little bit of love shine through
Rain on me
Keep it coming till the skies are blue

In my dreams I see colour I see visions of you
And a forest of trees swaying to the tune
All those nights that I held in the palm of my hand
Are inside of you

Rain on me
Let a little bit of love shine through
Rain on me
Keep it coming till the skies are blue

Sore and cold
There's a million stories
To be told
In the language of light that keeps coming back

Rain on me
Let a little bit of love shine through
Rain on me
Keep it coming till the skies are blue

Be my world
Be my danger
I'll see you through in times of strangeness
Its alright yeah its alright
Cos nothing else will do
Oh nothing else will do

I don't know where we're going
Confusion in this moment
Watch you fade away only to make it right
Well lets go inside where the stars come out tonight
Where we break the silence down
All is said and done let's be as one

Rain on me
Let a little bit of love shine through
Rain on me
Keep it coming till the skies are blue
Rain on me

I got the feeling we can make it come true
Rain on me
Focus all your love to make it through

Rain on me
Let a little bit of love shine through
Rain on me
Keep it coming till the skies are blue


TRAV'LLING LIGHT
David William

You can hide behind the silence cos its here now
And the words don't come no matter what you say
Every mirror you have looked in hides the Truth from you
As these hours crawl by you like days

Now you fight to watch another day go by
And you live another day you have to fight
But you've seen them throw it all away for nothing
While you walk away into the night

There are many things for you to beware of
And they can pull you in if you open the wrong door
Such a life you'd like to lead but just can't make it
So you carry on down the road for more

Now you fight to watch another day go by
And you live another day you have to fight
But you've seen them throw it all away for nothing
While you walk away into the night

See a trav'lling light appear in front of you
To lead the way before the tide comes rushing in
And keep your dreams alive for another day
And soon this will all be over so don't let it win

When its raining hard you begin to doubt yourself
You can't breathe from all the words that come your way
But you're walking now and you can feel a change
So just ignore everything they have to say

And now you fight to watch another day go by
And you live another day you have to fight
But you've seen them throw it all away for nothing
While you walk away into the night

See a trav'lling light appear in front of you
To lead the way before the tide comes rushing in
And keep your dreams alive for another day
And soon this will all be over so don't let it win


THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE
David William

You're feeling restless for a place you used to know
You try to figure out which way the wind will blow
Where you once ran you find you now can only walk
You have the key but still you cannot see the lock

And that is why you're feeling so unsure
Your finest days can open up the door
Your eyes are bright from all that's gone before
And still you want to be the last one to leave

The words hang in your mind like storm clouds in the sky
She's gone away now but you still have to ask why
Just make a move before this fire burns you out
Cos one day you won't know why you had these doubts

And that is why you're feeling so unsure
Your finest days can open up the door
Your eyes are bright from all that's gone before
And still you want to be the last one to leave

If you wanted to know more you would learn
If you wanted to find out you would burn
Cos there is only one way you will know
What's going on

And still you want to be the last one to leave

And that is why you're feeling so unsure
Your finest days can open up the door
Your eyes are bright from all that's gone before
And still you want to be the last one to leave


FALL TOGETHER
David William 

Shake off the rain and step in from the cold night
The day's passed you by once again
Waiting for something you might not be given
But here everyone feels the same

Cos this town where you're living has left you to cry
While all of your dreams wash away in the sand
And you can be forgiven for thinking its wrong
As you and I sail away

She walks away now but one day she'll listen
She knows I've got something to say
Meanwhile we sit and we drink and we laugh
And talk of those bright summer days

Cos this town where you're living has left us to cry
While all of your dreams wash away in the sand
And you can be forgiven for thinking its wrong
As we all sail away

And we'll all fall together
The night rolls on by
You realise there's nothing to lose
So we dance to the tune and we sing something new
Now you know
You're still alive

Trying to recapture the freedom you once knew
Seems like you lost long ago
Looking around as you walk down the same road
But nobody cares where you go

Cos this town where we're living has left us to cry
And all of our dreams wash away in the sand
And you can be forgiven for thinking its wrong
As we all sail away

And we'll all fall together
The night rolls on by
You realise there's nothing to lose
So we dance to the tune and we sing something new
Now you know
You're still alive
