Tallest of Tale

 The locals have a story they say

The Strangest thing did happen one day

I was glued to my seat while they told the tale

Of four weird ladies and the vessel they sailed


The Boat was dark and varnished black

No Mariner. crew aboard in fact

Upon the deck so tall with splendour

Four ladies in search of adventure


Luckily the sea was calm

Not like them to chance there arm

To set sail before a storm

A blue sky day would be the norm


The locals have a story they say

The Strangest thing did happen one day

I was glued to my seat while they told the tale

Of four weird ladies and the vessel they sailed


With the clear sky and lovely weather

They seemed to move as one together

Above there heads were large umbrellas

Certainly not local dwellers


Hats sat perched upon those heads

The dockers began to feel a dread

The woman held a long brass chain

It went around and round again


The locals have a story they say

The Strangest thing did happen one day

I was glued to my seat while they told the tale

Of four weird ladies and the vessel they sailed


It seemed to steer the vintage boat

It kept the helm straight and afloat

Where they came from no one knows

They spoke the tongue of an Alien code


Their skin an ashen shade of grey

The moon darkened and faded away

The Alien woman spoke as one

The port master fetched his gun


The locals have a story they say

The Strangest thing did happen one day

I was glued to my seat while they told the tale

Of four weird ladies and the vessel they sailed


All seemed to gasp as they came ashore

Very strange and that's for sure

They reached out a hand not to behold

but to offer all a chest of gold


This left the locals with grins so wide

The boat left rocking on the tide

And so it was the story goes

Where they went for no one knows


The locals have a story they say

The Strangest thing did happen one day

I was glued to my seat while they told the tale

Of four weird ladies and the vessel they sailed


The towns folk spent there share of gold

And to this day will still grow old

These tales are true and some might say

They may even return another day


But don't bank on it or even bet

For my hairs turned grey and My ears are wet. 


But don't bank on it or even bet

For my hairs turned grey and My ears are wet

Knight And The Queen

 A heavenly star came into view

I took my place and waited for you

The Moon was shining over the lake

The Gentle petal of a Rose Escapes


Two hearts beating in rhythm as one

Blue blood runs through my veins and bone

You are My Hero" Not Royal but true

So trust me Knight as I trust in You


Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale


We have shared love but still feel lost

If caught tonight "A bitter cost"

So tonight while the stars surround

Hush my love " Don't make a sound"

 

"As tomorrow I'll be crowned the Queen

And on oath I have never been

In love with no one but My King

A lie but better than cause a scene"


Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale


The life we wanted now not to be

But Your My knight so protect me

My Duty bound is sworn on oath

 The magic imagined may help us both


I will to the people be loyal and true

"My heart My Knight belongs to You"

You are My Hero" Not Royal but true

So trust me Knight as I trust in You


Make tonight not one of sorrow

But one to remember for all Tomorrows

Make tonight our last bequest

A final kiss no more no less


I will to the people be loyal and true

"My heart My Knight belongs to You"

We have shared love but still feel lost

If caught tonight "A bitter cost"


Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale


So tonight while stars that surround

Hush my love " Don't make a sound"

 

As tomorrow I will be crowned Queen

And on oath I have never been

In love with no one but My King

A lie but better than to cause a scene


The life we wanted now not to be

But Your My knight so protect me

My Duty bound is sworn on oath

But The magic imagined may help us both


Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale


Make tonight not one of sorrow

But one to remember for all Tomorrows

Make tonight our last bequest

A final kiss no more no less


I will to the people be loyal and true

"My heart My Knight belongs to You"

Memories that set Me free

 I don't need no I tunes

 Songs are in my head

 don't require an I pad

 got my records instead


Music has always been for me

The memory that always sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort


I am nothing like the youth today

Music downloads the only way

They know nothing of real rock n roll

And never will if truth be told


If they were lucky enough to have had

A rebel mum or Hippie Grandad

Then they will know that Music can

Take you to a place a Magic land


Music has always been for me

The memory that sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort


Armed with singles and L.Ps

A party atmosphere the place to be

Showing off your latest songs

Asking The D.J to put them on


Record players would spin that disc

Turn up the V as we insist

The louder you play your Rock n Roll

Will blow your mind and soothe your soul


Music has always been for me

The memory that sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort


Every week every penny that I earned

didn't get saved as always burned

In the local Sounds and record store

Ran out of dough but wanted more


Our record collections were part of us

Not just loved but with pure lust

For what we heard on the radio

The Top Forty our favorite show


Music has always been for me

The memory that sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort


The count down from 40 to 1

Was recorded on tape and such great fun

Next Sunday yeah the same again

Fluff Freeman greets  not arf my friend


I notice a difference with kids today

They hate intro's so just play

Nothing with craft or build up

The attention span has had enough


I would hate to be young and miss out today

I'm 70 now and will always say

I love a 3 minute song or long plays

The sounds that Rocked my yesterday


Rocking out to my yesterdays

The Beatles The Stones and Purple Haze

Rocking out to the tracks of My years

The Juke Box the best with a cool beer


I don't need no I tunes

 Songs are in my head

 don't require an I pad

 got my records instead

Songs I used to sing.

 Not realizing My heart was breaking

The sound of silence the night was making

A lonely feeling empty alone

My shadow behind me cast in stone


So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


I never thought before tonight

 I was living a lie and would need to fight

All my days of feeling so proud

Keeping feelings hidden never saying out loud


Every song I hear on the Radio

Is telling me things I already know

Lyrics so true and words unsaid

The same old lines " The ones I dread"


So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


I lay down every time you play

The Same old tunes without delay

Another hour without your love

Lost in a world where push comes to shove


Write me a song forgiving me

 sit right down and sing it just for me

Sing me a line the way you do

under the willow for just us two


So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


I hope one day my heart will be

one more step toward a better story


I'm tired of singing the same old song

The radio plays for far too long

The songs of life that seem unfair

I wonder if you even really care


So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


So the lonely silence of the night

My shadow cast against the light

 forgive me forever in a song my friend

My soul is yours to the bitter end


So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you


I'll sing for you yeah sing for you

The songs I hear that are so blue

Meant To Be

 I remember the flowers you held

The scent of perfume the way that they smelled

You requested that I walk out with you

Two sweethearts maybe forever true


Your Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and didn't understand

That Boys were likely to bury heads in the sand


You invited Me to the local dance

Not really expecting to have a chance

Maybe a slight hope of  romance perchance

Dates are so rare like a moment or glance


My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"


You were quite shocked when I answered yes

You almost tripped on my doorstep

I laughed out loud when you nearly fell

But I was so pleased" I hoped you could tell"


The days went so slow and I could not wait

You promised to meet but turned up so late

Did we agree to meet at mine

Or did I forget the place and the time


My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"


I could not remember " I feel such a fool

But now that your here every things cool


Heading out hand in hand

Outside the venue we could hear the band

Feeling so good in My new dress

This is how I dreamed and planned it I guess 


You left me alone to fetch us a drink

A little unsure I started to think

I hope you come back to hold my hand

Just like my dream and the magic I planned


My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"


We danced all night and had a great time

We really clicked and love was a sign

Making our way to the dance hall door

After dancing and kissing we just wanted more


We planned to see each other again

This was for ever and not just as friends

We will grow old together my love

Flying high like two turtle doves


My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"


Across the vast electric blue sky

Then fly away with a last goodbye


My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"

Broken Promises

 Why did you go and brake that promise

The one that we sealed with a kiss

Why did you fail to keep that secret

Could you not just keep it just a little bit


You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore


You could not sing it any louder for sure

Why don't you broadcast it once more

Better still wait for the crowd to shout aloud

And come back for an encore


Why did you go and brake that promise

The one that we sealed with a kiss

Why did you fail to keep that secret

Could you not just keep it just a little bit


You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore


Do you think Its cool?  to poison and lie

To watch me suffer and every day  cry?

I thought that you were genuine

But now I know your full of sin

You didn't need to break my heart

 False promises right from the start


The secrets out and I was sure

You'd keep it closed for evermore

I never wished to start an affair

And Now I see you didn't care


You were just out to have your fun

Not just with me but anyone

I should never have been so blind

You seemed so innocent and kind


You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore


I took it for granted you felt the same

 The secrets out I know your name

What was the point of pursuing me

I was happy and oh so free


You swore your life and crossed your heart

You reeled me in right from the start

It didn't take long for you to break

My heart and anything you could take


You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore


You took possessions, My body and soul

You left Me Homeless out in the cold

Its hard for me to forgive and forget

Just want to drown my sorrows with my regret


Of ever meeting and falling for You

You broke that promise " Didn't You"

You Broke that Promise " I trusted You"

You broke that promise " Didn't You"

You Broke that Promise " I trusted You"

Couldn't keep a secret 

why did you have to lie

You Broke that promise " all I do is cry "
