Don’t come knocking at my door
I’ve got the moon and so much more
[VERSE]
You said you caught a shooting star
Kept it safely in a jar
You said it fell from high above
Along with your star-fallen love
[CHORUS]
All those pretty words you said
Stayed typewritten in my head
You said you had no other lovers
Seems you said those words to others
[VERSE]
Don’t come knocking at my door
I’ve got the moon and so much more
You think you’ve got a lot to offer
Really? I just wouldn’t bother
[CHORUS]
All those pretty words you said
Stayed typewritten in my head
You said you had no other lovers
Seems you said those words to others
[VERSE]
So hit the sky, in your hot rocket
If you text, I’m gonna block it
Get out of my atmosphere
‘Cos I’ve got all I need right here
[CHORUS]
All those pretty words you said
Stayed typewritten in my head
You said you had no other lovers
Seems you said those words to others
[OUTRO]
Don’t come knocking at my door

Once, I caught a second
And held it in my hand
It shimmered and it sparkled
Then crumbled into dust
[VERSE]
Once, I paused a minute
The round world kept on spinning
I saw a thousand lifetimes
Turn before my eyes
[CHORUS]
If your time runs out
Hope, another gives theirs to you
The rarest gift to offer
One moment of a kind
[VERSE]
Once, I found an hour
It stayed for so much longer
I made each second count
And turned it into three
[CHORUS]
If your time runs out
Hope, another gives theirs to you
The rarest gift to offer
One moment of a kind
[BRIDGE]
For once, I lost a day
My life fell into darkness
I guess I’ll never know
What it could have been
[CHORUS]
If your time runs out
Hope, another gives theirs to you

We take coffee in the park, you and me
sitting on a bench with paper bag pastries
inhaling damp green air that smells like life
- just us, here in the today light
[VERSE]
Listening to crows call ‘fly’ from creaking trees
Watching spiders crawl, through bronzed and bony leaves
You share your new idea, and you keep saying ‘and’
And every time you say it, your bay leaf eyes expand
[VERSE]
You grab my arm, enthusiastically
we feel September rushing through our veins
filling our blank white pages
with technicoloured plans
[CHORUS]
We’re dreamers, laughing, like a Friday in July
Sitting on a bench in Autumn, getting high
Just dreamers, laughing like a Friday in July
Sitting on a bench in Autumn, getting high

I’m hoping for angels
To bring me a light
To keep me from darkness
To swap wrongs for right
[VERSE]
This world is spinning
It’s out of control
And good isn’t winning
It’s hurting my soul
[CHORUS]
I’m sending up prayers
But my faith’s wearing thin
I’m hoping for angels
To find peace within
[VERSE]
Life’s sadness and cruelty
Is breaking my heart
Oh, angels of kindness
so where do we start
[BRIDGE]
The blue moon is sighing
The stars closed their eyes
The sun is despairing
At hate, wars and lies
[VERSE]
Tell us the answer
Show us the way
Help us to heal
Bring your love light today
[CHORUS]
I’m sending up prayers
But my faith’s wearing thin
I’m hoping for angels
To find peace within

Yes, I’m hoping for angels

Who am I to you
And who am I to me
A misplaced person, searching
For a lost identity
[VERSE]
In the bathroom mirror
There’s just a blur to see
A missing face, an empty space
That once reflected ‘Me’
[CHORUS]
You wiped me out
You blanked me
Erased me from your mind
You ghosted me
You turned away
You left me far behind
[VERSE]
There is no map to find myself
No signpost where to start
There’s no ‘me’ hiding in this shell
No ’I’ lives in this heart
[VERSE]
The future walks behind now
All sense of self has gone
A dream that’s lost to yesterday
What’s left is just ‘someone’
[CHORUS]
You wiped me out
You blanked me
Erased me from your mind
You ghosted me
You turned away
You left me far behind
[BRIDGE]
It’s time to drop the anchor
So ‘I’ can rescue ‘me’
An empty vessel sailing
Into anonymity
[CHORUS]
You wiped me out
You blanked me
Erased me from your mind
You ghosted me
You turned away
You left me far behind

The rainbow in my mind
Falls in shades of blue
In troubled skies and rain
The sunny spells are few
[CHORUS]
So put the colours back
To where they’re meant to be
Bring the sunshine home
Paint your rainbow over me
[VERSE]
Dark clouds are in my heart
Grey days and stormy nights
Yeah, since we’ve been apart
I’ve thought hard on our fights
[CHORUS]
So put the colours back
To where they’re meant to be
Bring the sunshine home
Paint your rainbow over me
[VERSE]
I'm seeing with new eyes
In post-storm clarity
The spectrum of our love
And what you mean to me
[BRIDGE]
I miss the orange sunsets
The golden light of love
The green hope of tomorrow
The pink moon high above
[CHORUS]
So put the colours back
To where they’re meant to be
Bring the sunshine home
Paint your rainbow over me

She gathers gold in velvet
For those who face the Sun
And promises the earth
With her pure and precious
Hum

On hallowed wings
Through cyan skies
She flies to keep the world alive
Delivering a living prize
With her pure and precious
Hum
[BRIDGE]
Queens of sunshine
High above
Bind us together in your love
Make our forever
Sweet and true
As we protect and honour you

Hi, I am a London based writer who writes around the beauty, wonder and hope hidden in everyday life. I also like to write lyrics which empower, inspire and cele
ate the resilience of women. My varied catalogue includes melancholy country songs, catchy pop songs and rousing peace anthems. I hope you enjoy my lyrics and would love to hear you
ing them to to life in a song. Thank you for reading my work.
Writing has always been a part of my life. Besides song lyrics I write poetry, short stories and picture books. My poetry has been published in anthologies, turned into a choral piece for a women's choir, read out on the London Underground and painted onto a mural in South London. Several of my short stories have been published in the national women's press. I also hold a diploma in writing for advertising. I appreciate the power words have to help change our world.
