I live in the South of England with my partner.
I dabble with playing the keyboard but my main interest is in writing lyrics/poetry. I have a grown up daughter and grandchildren- the newest addition being just over a year old!
Chorus:
Grabbin’ a code, viewin’ the sign,
Decoding the cypher,
That’ll do just fine,
You’ll catch the drift,
You’re doin’ real well,
Just gotta keep it on the DL,
Verse1:
Checking you out across the room,
Our eyes meet I feel the boom
That spark, the explosion of lust,
But you throw me a crumb or a crust
To keep me hooked, lettin’ me see
You’re sharing it out with everybody,
Then you twitch me a smile
To keep my interest a while,
Am I out of the runnin’,
On my toes, I’m just spinnin’,
I’m the ghost that you cut,
I know you no rampant slut,
You using your rizz, using your vibe,
Your homies just part of your Tribe,
Got to find a way so you see me,
Cut through the noise of everybody,
(Pre-chorus)
So what am I doin’ ?
Maybe you’re just screwin’
Wid me, am I wasting my time
To get me over that line,
I Need a hook,
To make you look,
Can’t get it from no book,
Then I take me a notion
It’s formin’ like a magic potion,
Chorus:
Grabbin a code, viewin’ the sign,
Decoding the cypher,
That’ll do just fine,
You’ll catch the drift,
You’re doin’ real well,
Just gotta keep it on the DL,
Bridge:
We got us this cypher
You’ll soon decipher,
Get what I’m sayin’
And I’m here prayin’
On my knees but I won’t fall,
It won’t be long, you’ll get the signal,
Verse 2:
But I’m on my grind, locked in I Climb,
Get a bit closer, get your attention,
Find me something like a new invention
You see that’s really my intention,
You look away, turn your back,
I know it’s a scheme, cos I’m on track,
On my radar you eyeball that dude,
I’m gonna feel so undervalued,
It’s a bum rap, but I just caught a vision
Use my cypher so you can envision
Catching the drift and picking the lock,
Then the opps that are waitin’ in line
Can’t grasp the flow of our sign,
All their paradin’ will be in vain,
I’ll be where it’s at, you’ll be mine,
And the cypher is working just fine,
Chorus:
Grabbin a code, viewin’ the sign,
Decoding the cypher,
That’ll do just fine,
You’ll catch the drift,
You’re doin’ real well,
Just gotta keep it on the DL.
Outro:
Just keep it, just keep it, just keep it
On the DL.
Verse 1:
I was in the depths of Winter’s dark,
Heartstrings nearly all unstrung,
Too many lost loves left their mark,
Too many love songs left unsung,
But then I met you,no pretender,
As you gently whispered by my side
That we could mend me if we tried,
Together,
Chorus:
You said we’d fly so high,
We could reach the sky,
We’d nearly touch the stars,
Pain would be gone at last,
Verse 2:
And slowly the rays of sun appeared
My mood and emotions all restored
As if Spring’s beauty suddenly neared,
Those broken days finally ignored,
And you’d become my defender,
And trust of love was re-ignited,
And remained cos we were united,
Together,
Chorus:
You said we’d fly so high
We could reach the sky
We’d nearly touch the stars
Pain would be gone at last,
Bridge:
And now I’m whole again,
There’s no more deceit or lies,
Or making me look a fool,
We’re together,
Chorus:
You said we’d fly so high
We could reach the sky
We’d nearly touch the stars
Pain would be gone at last
Outro:
Together, together, together, we’re
Together.
Shape Me
Verse 1:
My home town did not make me
The person that I am today,
It’s not the place I want to be,
And I don’t long to make my way
Back there now or any day,
I had friends they faded away,
As I moved on and so did they,
And to this day we do not speak,
Nothing to say,
Chorus:
It’s the things that I have done,
Not false truths that are home spun,
The joy and sadness that I’ve felt,
The ups and downs I’ve been dealt,
These things have shaped me,
Verse 2:
My mother did her very best,
To give me values I could take
On my journeys, on my new quests,
But she knew she’d lost her crown,
As I escaped that tight knit town,
And spread my wings to other places
Where I’d meet those diff’rent faces
That I longed for,
Chorus:
It’s the things that I have done
Not false truths that are home spun,
The joy and sadness that I’ve felt,
The ups and downs I’ve been dealt,
It’s these that shaped me,
Verse 3:
And I have lived in many towns
That don’t strangle me or drown
Who I’ve become, who I am now,
A full grown tree, not a broken bough,
So I know it was no phase,
Nor another stupid craze,
My very soul was being crushed,
All my dreams turning to dust,
Thank God it didn’t shape me,
Bridge:
Even though life’s not all fun,
I’ll still turn around and shun
The town where I was born,
Cos it didn’t shape me,
Chorus:
It’s the things that I have done
Not false truths that are home spun,
The joy and sadness that I’ve felt,
The ups and downs I’ve been dealt,
It’s these that shaped me,
Outro;

Verse 1
You walked away without a second glance,
I’m lost but then I take a chance,
Running to the places that were ours,
I call your name but emptiness devours
Those faded echoes on the breeze
As they ripple through the swaying trees,
But you won’t be back to set me
Free,
Chorus:
You’re the memory in the darkness of my night,
A burning candle with no final light,
Lost love, you left your love inside of me,
But I’m searching for the pieces that will set me free,
Verse 2
Empty doorway waits for you to Appear,
But only shadows dance where you Once were,
I grasp at moments never meant to End,
But to see you now I have to pretend,
Because you’re gone forever
My confusion makes me love you,
But we’re not together,
Chorus:
You’re the memory in the silence of my night,
A burning candle with no final light,
Lost love, you left your love inside of Me,
But I’m searching for the pieces that Will set me free,
Bridge:
I wander through the ruins of the Dreams we once made,
I hope someday these tears will fade
And I’ll be whole once more,
Chorus:
You’re the memory in the silence of my Night,
A burning candle with no final light,
Lost love, you left your love inside of me,
But I’m searching for the pieces that Will set me free,
Outtro
I’m searching for the pieces that will Set me free,
And then at last I feel you release me…
