My Songs and Poems

No Change

You say you think you know me

But I don't think you really do

You try to push me back and forth

Try to mould me into another you

I don't fit in any mould

I am true to myself

I won't bend or break

I can't be anyone else

If you don't like what you see

Then stay away, don't mix with me

I must stay true to myself

And be the man I'm meant to be

Don't crowd around

Don't push and shove

Stay at arms length

I've had enough

You think that you know me

But I'm certain that you don't

I'm twice the man you'll ever be

I don't have to work that hard

I do my own thing

And I Iike what I do

I sing my own songs

And I don't point at you

So give me my space

And give me respect

Don't get in my face

Just let me be

Don't crowd around

Don't push and shove

Stay at arms length

I've had enough

Stay at arms length

I've had enough

Bewitched [John's song]

Tonight I went down to the beach

The moon was shining bright

You said you would meet me there

But you were nowhere in sight

So I went on home to bed

And I was there all alone

With all kinds of thoughts in my head

You didn't even answer your phone

I was bewitched

I know that now

Yes, I was bewitched

You didn't care anyhow

Eventually, I will find someone new

You are not worth the tears I cry

And then I'll forget all about you

And all the times I sit and wonder why

I let you in and you broke my heart

But I will never do that again

That was a big mistake on my part

You put me through so much pain

For I was bewitched

I know that now

Yes, I was bewitched

You never cared anyhow

Now I'm with another you want me back

She gives me more than you ever did

But you're gone forever and that's a fact

And my heart to her, I will give

My heart and soul are contented now

And I've finally started to live

Her love is so pure and new

And to her all my love I will give

Now you can't bewitch me

The way you did before

No you won't bewitch me

I don't love you any more

No, you won't bewitch me

I don't love you any more

Breathe [words but no music]I try to breatheBut you've cut off all my airYou don't even try to help meYou just stand right there and stareMy life's no longer my ownSince the day that we first metOur lives are so entangledOur futures are all setMy lifeblood drains from meAnd seeps into the groundI look around for helpBut I can't utter a soundIf this is what love's likeI'll be craving so much moreBut now you are wavingAs you walk right out the doorI try to followBut you pick up the paceI stare at your back nowI can't see your lovely faceI try to breatheBut still there's no airMy body gives in nowBut I don't even careMy bones ache with this wantingAnd my heart beats for youThis love is so devouringSo why am I so blue?If I knew the answersTo all that I now seekThe answers would confuse meFor my willpower is so weakI will follow you foreverStep in your steps til the endI'll follow you to hell and backTo you I won't pretendI try to breatheTake a gulp of air You are there before meYou say you are going nowhere

I hope I can believe youAnd that you stop this painBy giving me back my lifebloodAnd let me breathe again

All I want is to believe you

For you to stop the pain

Give back my lifeblood

And let me live again

And let me live again

Darkness Calls

I retreat into the darkness

Where no one knows my name

I turn off all the switches

That make me live this game

I let the night take over

Feel depression creeping in

I put my hands over my ears

To save me from all the din

I'm in a place where you can't reach me

A place where I feel in control

A place where only I can go

And it rules my very soul

A few more steps and I'm almost there

So I pick up the pace

Just one or two more strides for me

And my life falls into place

Not for me, the bright lights

The crowds, the laughter, just rain

For I am a solitary person

And I'm in darkness once again

So don't you feel sorry for me

It's a life that I alone choose

Please don't try to save me

For I've got nothing left to lose

I now sit in this darkness

I feel peaceful, so serene

And I think to myself

It's a place where everyone's been

But they manage to climb out

And get on with life's game

But I just fall deeper in

For me life will never be the same

Gone for me all life's pleasures

Gone all the laughter, now tears

Look deep into my eyes you'll see

The despair and all my fears

Never to hold my head up again

To walk out into the sun

No more happiness for me

I feel my live is over, is done

If I reach out my hand to you

Will you be my saving grace?

Will you take my hand

Let light shine again on my face

Will you take this shroud from me?

And let me walk in the sun

Will you be the one to love me?

Until my life is done

In My Dreams [song]

When I meet the one in my dreams

And I know it will be closer than it seems

True love will win out the day

A beacon so bright will light our way

A vision will appear before my eyes

With a pure love you can't disguise

I will be watching out for you

I hope you'll be watching for me, too

Just watch out for me, I'll be waiting there

Just watch out for me, I'm the one who'll care

With a love so pure, that's only for you

I'm not longer alone, now we are two

Because I believe in a love so pure

A love our hearts both can endure

It's been so long since I found love

Of loneliness, I've had enough

I need someone to share my life

Being alone just cuts like a knife

Turn the corner, I might see your face

With a winning smile I can't replace

Just watch out for me, I'll be waiting there

Just watch out for me, I'm the one who'll care

With a love so pure, that's only for you

I'm not longer alone, now we are two

And then there you are before me

With pure love to invoke ecstasy

Our eyes meet across a crowded floor

When I look into your eyes I can want no more

You smile that smile from my dreams

Happiness was closer that it seemed

For I am completed now

Yes you complete my life somehow

Just watch out for me, I'll be waiting there

Just watch out for me, I'm the one who'll care

With a love so pure, that's only for you

I'm not longer alone, now we are two

I'm not longer alone, now we are two

ME [this as a song]

I SEE YOU NEARLY EVERY DAY

AND MY HEART SCREAMS OUT TO YOU

IF ONLY YOU WOULD LOOK MY WAY

AND MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE

THE LOVE I HAVE WITHIN MY HEART

THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU

WILL HOLD US TOGETHER WE'LL NEVER PART

IT'S STRONG ENOUGH FOR TWO

LOOK MY WAY

I'M THE ONE WHO 'LL CARE

PLEASE LOOK MY WAY

SEE MY HEART LAYED BARE

NOW LOOK MY WAY

IT'S ME STANDING THERE

THE DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU SEE MY FACE

AND THE LOVE THAT SHINES FROM ME

AND I WILL BE YOUR SAVING GRACE

WE'LL BE HAPPY ETERNALLY

BUT TIL THAT DAY I WATCH IN VAIN

AND HOPE SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE

THE STRANGER STANDING IN THE RAIN

A LOVE SICK FOOL, YES ME

LOOK MY WAY

I'M THE ONE WHO 'LL CARE

PLEASE LOOK MY WAY

SEE MY HEART LAYED BARE

NOW LOOK MY WAY

IT'S ME STANDING THERE

JUST LOOK

Waltz Me Back

Waltz me back to the time I was free

Back to the day when you were with me

Be gone Black Ribbons, Black Silk and Black Lace

Bring back the smile to my lovers face

Let me go back to the time I once knew

When love was good when shared with you

Shake me up so I swallow fear

Hold out your arms and hold me near

Take what I offer, my life, my soul

Breathe me inside you, and make me whole

I go back to the green Irish Sea

The last place that you were with me

Eat me up, spit me out, make me anew

Waltz me back to good times with you

But I must move on, now you are gone

Try to rebuild my life all alone

Rebuild a life without you by my side

I try and I try but I'm empty inside

I hide behind these words that I write

For I no longer have the will to fight

So Waltz me back to the green Irish Sea

Lay me in the water and let me float free

Free to Waltz beneath the white waves

The sea is so treacherous, no life it saves

I went back to the green Irish Sea

To the last place that you were with me

You ate me up, spat me out, now I'm anew

You Waltzed me back now I'm forever with you

Scott, this one's for you

I love the way you never complain

Always take a back seat to my career

But never in my heart, Scott

You are always first to be here

I love the support you give me

Show me just how much you care

I will always come home to you

Because I know you'll always be there

We've been together for such a long time

And you know how to make me smile

We'll be together forever

Which, I hope, is a very long while

We took our relationship further

Committed our lives to each other

I wanted all the world to know

From you I will never recover

So stay with me now into old age

Spend summer and winter and fall

Stay by my side through the springtime

For our love will conquer all

Dedicated to two beautiful men

Live long

Who

Who told the sun it could shine today?

Who told the stars to twinkle so bright?

Who said that another day could begin?

When my days are as dark as night

Why do I let my heart keep beating?

Without you by my side

Why did I let God take you?

I wanted to save you, I tried

What have I got to look forward to?

Now that you are no longer here

Why should I even bother?

If in this cold world, you're not near

This cures I have to keep living

Is finally taking it's toll

My heart just goes on beating

But I no longer have a soul

Just let me be with my lover

Let me take him in my arms again

For me, there will never be another

Why should I live on with this pain?

If God does exist, let him take me now

For I no longer have the strength to live on

Let me lie down beside Ianto

And we can live in heaven as one

The Wall Of Words

The building took my breath away

It's words so bold and clear

I didn't want to walk away

I wanted to spend time here

The words popped out before me

In These Stones Horizons Sing

Standing back it is all I see

Travellers to the wall it will bring

Built of slate from all around Wales

And bricks and wood, too

Words conger up all sorts of tales

From all different sides and views

We stand and take out pictures

Of the Wall of Words we see

It is a Cardiff Bay fixture

That will always stay with me

I travelled here to see this Wall

For I know it by that name

But now I see it and the Water fall

It will never be quite the same

The building and the Water Tower

Stand proud against the sky

I could stay here for another hour

Just staring like other passers by

How proud Cardiff must be today

To have a building like this

But I must leave, must go away

But Cardiff Bay I'll miss

Where did I go wrong

I awoke to find an empty space

Where you once lay your head

I awoke to find a great big void

That once was a lovers bed

Now emptiness is all I see

And I hang my head and cry

No more loving in my life

Cos there's no more you and I

Where did I go wrong?

Was it something that I said

Didn't I give you enough love

Or was it all just in my head

The days past into weeks

And still no sign of you

I wonder around in a daze

My colours all turned to blue

I don't want another lover

Another just won't do

No I don't want any other

Cos no one compares to you

Where did I go wrong?

Was it something that I said

Didn't I give you enough love

Or was it all just in my head

It took time but I'm over you

And another owns my heart

But I still think of you now and then

And the day that we did part

My new love gives me everything

That you and I once had

But with her now I'm happy

And my heart is no longer sad

Oh, where did I go wrong

Was it something that I said

I gave you all my love

Or is it all just in my head

Was it all just in my head

All just in my head

For The Love Of Jack

You don't have to say you love me

Because I know deep down you care

You don't have to say a word

Because I know you will always be there

You are like a second skin to me

That fits me like a glove

Surrounding me with all I need

Protection, comfort and love

I look into your eyes so blue

And see love reflected there

Saying what mere words never could

Letting me know that you care

Never stray too far from me

Because without you there's no air

You make it hard for me to breathe

With this love that we both share

When the sun goes down and we're alone

You prove just how much you care

Kissing me so passionately

Running your fingers through my hair

I know sometimes you have to leave

And that's alright with me

But you tell me when I need you

This is where you want to be

So promise me when I'm no longer here

That you won't grieve alone

A man like you should always love

And should never be on their own

But I hope that's an age from now

And we can share each day

Wrapped in your loving arms

It's where I want to stay
