NOW & THEN
David William
Should've told you sooner
When my tongue was hanging
And my heart was on it's way to you
Could have been much stronger
Taken in by desire
And the way you held my hand so true
There's a light in my heart
Now and then I still pretend
I can see something wrong
Now and then and then it's gone
Oh you try so hard girl
Try to make me see sense
But I'm way too blind to even care
And your legs are aching
Can't carry on like this
Need some help to make it there
There's a light in my heart
Now and then I still pretend
I can see something wrong
Now and then and then it's gone
Send the words right through me
Hit the ground I'm crashing
Into something I can't even see
Put a smile between us
Turns to something clearer
Something I begin to understand
There's a light in my heart
Now and then I still pretend
I can see something wrong
Now and then and then it's gone
There's a fire inside
Sends a man running for his life
Oh there's something so wrong
Now and then and then it's gone
RUN RABBIT RUN
David William
Sunlight appearing on my wall
No change and nowhere left to grow I'm sure
I'm almost done
He wakes begins to feel the core
Dry taste of wine and supermarket stores
But if you're looking for a sign
You may as well just waste your precious time or...
Run rabbit run
Squeeze all the life you have lived and learnt
Run rabbit run
Break off the pressure and watch it rise
Another day another tale unfolds
Amongst the cries of screaming young ring true but go
So often unheard
Pulsing ambition and desire
Sometimes it corners you and leaves you scared
But if you're waiting for a sign
You may as well just wait and hold on tight or...
Run rabbit run
Squeeze all the life you have lived and learnt
Run rabbit run
Break off the pressure and watch it rise
And if I run I'll be strong
And if I fall I won't break
Come into my world
Come inside where you belong
Run rabbit run
Squeeze all the life you have lived and learnt
Run rabbit run
Break off the pressure and watch it rise
Run rabbit run
No-one's invincible to the gun
Run rabbit run
Feel so alone I'm not the only one
OUTSIDE THE WINDOW
David William
Reveal yourself to me I need to know
This fever's got me high I can't let go
But something always gets in the way
Leaves me with nothing to say
But now we stand in line and wait our turn
The afterthought will one day come to you
Outside the window
Rolling by with the open skies you face
Inside the day
Another view comes to fill the room you make
Quiet streets will lead you to your mind
If you carry on like this you might go blind
But time it takes you back to the start
Hoping for some change of heart
So you can dive right in and learn to swim
While they all stand and shake their heads at you
Outside the window
Rolling by with the open skies you face
Inside the day
Another view comes to fill the room you make
You're only seeing the back of it
You only want what you know you'll get to keep it right
Before you change your mind again just look
Outside the window
Rolling by with the open skies you face
Inside the day
Another view comes to fill the room you make
SATELLITES
David William
Here am I alone
I tie myself to the telephone
Fill my mind with the sounds I know
Coming back to you
Where do I belong
You know I would what I couldn't do
It's all the same when I'm feeling blue
Want the world that I cannot have
And yeah I know I'm wasting all my time
Tomorrow comes still chasing far behind
Oh we're satellites
And caught in a different world we'd be side by side
Holding off the night
In another place there's a sky that shines so bright
Gimme so much more
A summer dream and a restless shore
Just waiting for you like before
But this time I'm in pain
Here we go again
I close my eyes in the pouring rain
Driving faster there's no-one to blame
So see if I care
And yeah I know I'm wasting all my time
Tomorrow comes still chasing far behind
Oh we're satellites
And caught in a different world we'd be side by side
Holding off the night
In another place there's a sky that shines so bright
When you're feeling lonely am I the one you want
When your skies are empty do you suffer for the price
Oh we're satellites
And caught in a different world we'd be side by side
Holding off the night
In another place there's a sky that shines so bright
COME & GO
David William
Summer haze you draw a breath
And now it's time that you confess
Hear the whisper of the breeze go by
August rising fades away
The memories of distant days
In your mind they flicker through the clouds
The sea will rise the wind will blow
Everything will come and go
Everything you touch is what you are
And fears you shake no time to know
Everything will come and go
Floating by you till you reach the shore
Circle round the world tonight
Looking for a sign of life
Climb the stars that catch you when you fall
Gold dust in the air you see
Another warning in too deep
If you could hear me now what would you say
The sea will rise the wind will blow
Everything will come and go
Everything you touch is what you are
And fears you shake no time to know
Everything will come and go
Floating by you till you reach the shore
Particles break out the seams
Photographs of summer dreams
Lose your way but you can still get home
Crowded thoughts spill out from you
Another word you oughtta choose
Hold me down this dizziness is blue
The sea will rise the wind will blow
Everything will come and go
Everything you touch is what you are
And fears you shake no time to know
Everything will come and go
Floating by you till you reach the shore
ONE WAY TICKET
David William
The races I have won
Come back to haunt at dawn
Breaking away start of a new day
The smell of fear can be
More than you ever remember
Now I will remember them
Through the smoke and debris
This one way ticket invites you to places you don't want to leave
A glimpse of relief
And now I feel unsure
Caught between the door
Sliding down a change has to come
A walk down memory lane
Helps to relieve all the pain and the curse of these times
Too much to take in
This one way ticket invites you to places you don't want to leave
A glimpse of relief
A one way ticket to dwell on paradise lost through the years
So far yet so near
All the days better spent
Come flooding in
Feel the pressure outside
All the love in disguise
This one way ticket invites you to places you don't want to leave
A glimpse of relief
A one way ticket to dwell on paradise lost through the years
So far yet so near
One way ticket a long train moving so fast you can't steer
And now you are here
So far yet so near
So far yet so near
WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
David William
I want to stay in this feeling so right
Ache like I need it so bad
Frozen in time till you turn on the lights
Always the little things you do
And I need you to make it through
To tell me that the skies are blue
Cos when it all comes together I love you
Soak up the light that pours out of your face
You seem so alive and beautiful
Touch of your hand as we gently embrace
Stronger than anything before
And I need you to make it through
To tell me that the skies are blue
Cos when it all comes together I love you
And I need you to make it through
To tell me that the skies are blue
Cos when it all comes together I love you
Yeah when it all comes together I love you
And when it all comes together I love you
Yeah when it all comes together I love you
GREEN ARROWS
David William
Drew first blood I wonder
Could it ever be real and we're not here
The landscape engulfs us
It makes me feel so strange not out of reach
Just too heavy to speak
These images that leave their mark without a trace
Green arrows on the pavement to a secret place
And there'll be more than you can find
Limitless beyond the lines
Outside
Outside
Who lit the match that got us here
Who stole the kiss I claimed was mine
Pretend to be somebody else
But still it's not enough keep wanting more
I thought that I was sure
These images that leave their mark without a trace
Green arrows on the pavement to a secret place
And there'll be more than you can find
Limitless beyond the lines
Outside
Outside
I'm never really sure of anything
I'll open up the door and see what I can bring
These images that leave their mark without a trace
Green arrows on the pavement to a secret place
And there'll be more than you can find
Limitless beyond the lines
Outside
Outside
Outside
Outside
LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT
David William
I see the rain in my baby's eyes once again
Climb climb the stairs
To an open garden
I'll be there with or without
No danger can tear us apart
Looks like we made it
So glad you came and took my heart away
Fly over darkness
Let love guide us to the stars
And we'll be safe together tonight
No no there's no doubt
Even when I fail to reach out
Bring you back to me
And then you will see
Where the sky meets the ocean and
Time doesn't matter anymore
Looks like we made it
So glad you came and took my heart away
Fly over darkness
Let love guide us to the stars
And we'll be safe together tonight
Thunder will come out of the black
Baby run for your life out of the back door
I see the light in my baby's eyes once again
Sweet sugar sweet
Like the taste of love
On my tongue oh it's coming back
No reason to believe we'll go astray
Looks like we made it
So glad you came and took my heart away
Fly over darkness
Let love guide us to the stars
And we'll be safe together tonight
We'll be safe together tonight
We'll be safe whatever comes tonight
SUMMER SADNESS
David William
She was the summer in your eyes
You watch her light move on from above
Burn a candle in my veins
All the things you can't explain
Dirty feelings wash over your mind
And if you don't like what you see inside
Just close your eyes
Nothing will escape no need to deny
The tears that you hide
Consider where you will find
The hope you feel you've traded for love
Talk until this darkness falls
Through the floor below your hold
Rising up just let the weight pass on through
And if you don't like what you see inside
Just close your eyes
Nothing will escape no need to deny
The tears that you hide
Don't you know that it waits outside
There lies a dream you hide behind your eyes
In the pouring rain when there's no-one to blame this time
This time...
And if you don't like what you see inside
Just close your eyes
Nothing will escape no need to deny
The tears that you hide
SHE'S STILL THERE
David William
Close the door pull the blind's time's pushing through
Close your eyes to the lies and let them go
Hide away in the night stranded alone
Feel the pressure tension lose control
But she's still there
She's watching everywhere
Such a different life could be yours if you want to be
And the days slowly drop like living proof
Precious lines we all follow for sleeping news
Waking up feeds the same persistent thoughts
Here she comes like a river twists and turns
Cos she's still there
She's watching everywhere
Such a different life could be yours if you want to be
Yeah she's still there
She's watching everywhere
Such a different life could be yours if you want to be
THAT'S HOW IT GOES
David William
Disappear beyond the day gone by
Familiar like you and I
Untying the thoughts and the words I can't reach
Listening to dreams that lie so deep
Stepping out on the beach
It all comes together like clockwork and wood
In time you'll follow
That's how it goes
And if you try just a little
Try not to let it show
Send me on a journey; joy and tears
Postcards througout the years
And still I don't want you to leave till the end
In time you'll follow
That's how it goes
And if you try just a little
Try not to let it show
So if you're shot down in flames
And one thing remains
Your tenderness is all I ask
In time you'll follow
That's how it goes
And if you try just a little
Try not to let it show
In time they'll follow
That's how it goes
And if you try just a little
Try not to let it show
