Take Me Back – May 2018

There are voices like water
Inside your heart

Take me back to the place where I once belonged
This could be any place
A place where you and I could sing this song
Take me back where I hear waterfalls flowing
Let me dive into the lake where winter hides the snow
Then comes the summertime
Fields of scarlet poppies grow

Take me back where I see butterflies to-ing, fro-ing
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don’t know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don’t tell me anything
I’d rather fall into you
Let me sleep a little while underneath the tree
And dream of dragonflies
Where the weary willow weeps for me
Take me back where I see dandelions blowing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don’t tell me anything
I’d rather fall into you

March 2018 – Madness

I can’t get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness
Is starting to evolve, mmmm
And I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness
Is swallowing me whole, yeah
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
What you mean

Now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness
Keeping us afloat, mmmm
When I look back, at all the crazy fights we had
It’s like some kind of madness
Was taking control, yeah

Now, I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
What you need

Now, I have finally seen the end
And I’m not expecting you to care, no
That I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
I need your love
I need your love

Come to me
Just in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know
I can’t be wrong
And baby you’re too headstrong
Our love is madness

December 2017 – Closing of the Year

If I cannot bring you comfort
Then at least I bring you hope
For nothing is more precious
Than the time we have and so
We all must learn from small misfortune
Count the blessings that are real
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
At the closing of the year
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
At the closing of the year.
If I cannot bring you comfort
Then at least I bring you hope.
Now all the winter bells are ringing
Hear them echo through the snow
And the children’s voices singing
on the streets so far below
This is a time to be together
And the truth is somewhere here
Within our love of people
At the closing of the year.

August 2017 – Fields and Fences

Yellowcard
1997- 2017

“Fields & Fences”

Looking for something to wake in my soul
It seems like its singing stopped cold
I got used to being the star of the show
But I’ve seen the lights come and go

I heard a song playing brought by the wind
I got myself lost and I found you again

Tennessee, when I finally lay down to sleep
Then I’ll rest in your ground
But these days the world is against us
So keep me safe with your fields and fences around me

I want to start living
I want to be brave
I want to find where I belong
‘Cause I still remember the reasons I write
Things that I’ve dreamed for so long

I heard a song playing brought by the wind
I got myself lost and I found you again

Tennessee, when I finally lay down to sleep
Then I’ll rest in your ground
But these days the world is against us
So keep me safe with your fields and fences around me, around me

I don’t have much that I can give to you
But I know I love the way you make me feel like I’m at home
And I am not alone
