I’m going to the top of the hill

And by hook or by crook

I’ll get there,

I will

It’s sunny at the top of the hill

With sun beds and free beer

And friendly people

With goodwill

And cheer

When I get there

I’ll relax for a while

And contemplate my climb.

Now I’ve reached the summit

Things can never be the same

And I can only go downhill

Again.

I’m a warrior of words

And I’ll fight you to the death

With my pen

For the right to speak my thoughts aloud.

I’ll tread the boards and stand before the crowd

Though I might need a moment to gather my thoughts

And choose a subject for an almighty discourse;

Life, Liberty and freedom, the usual sort of thing

I’ll have to wing it: speak off the cuff

I may even throw somethi...

Fly away,

Drive away,

Leave your troubles behind

Lie down,

Rest a while,

Enjoy the warm sunshine.

Feel your heart re charging

While your mind is at rest.

A week from now

You’ll be bored or stressed

Either way;

Back behind your desk.

I see him sometimes at four in the morning

The man with the black cap

He walks his dog,

And apart from a nod

He’s not one for talking

He’s always there at four in the morning

The man with the dog

I guess he’s retired from some early morning job

Now he’s got the time

For walking

Still, it’s a grand time, four in the morning

For a man with a cap and a dog

I hope the train breaks down

Before the end of the line.

Then again; that’s a bit of a foolish thought

For sooner or later

We’ll get to the end,

in time.

I like the journey

But not the destination

So I think I’ll break my journey

And change trains at the station

Because I’m not quite ready,

For the end of the line

So I’ll carry on with my trip

I’m your silver chalice

And every drink you take; you’ll take from me

I’ll cool you with cool water when you’re warm

And in the cold I’ll warm you

And when you crave for me,

Take me to your lips

And smile at me the smile that launched

A thousand ships

Then I’ll gladly quench your thirst.

I’ll do anything that you need,

Guaranteed.

I’m your silver chalice

So...

The wings of life grow old

And I cannot fly like I used to do

When I was young and bold

Time is now like a distant summer’s glow

And I long for those summers

That once I used to know

Of course, there are still those sunny days

When I pull on my wings and fly,

When I rise up towards the sun and feel her rays

But one fine day I’ll rise up and fly so very hig...

I made sandcastles here as a lad.

I’ve walked and ran with the dogs,

Faced the rain and the blustering winds,

Dozed in the summer sun,

And beachcombed.

When I die, burn my body like a Viking God

And bring my ashes to the sands.

When the tide turns and the wind blows hard

Then empty my remains.

Let the wind take them across the waves;

And watch while the sea foams...

Do not presume to know

The secrets of my heart

Neither could you hope to understand

The thoughts inside my head

Don’t expect a welcome

As you try to probe inside

For the thoughts that are mine only

Are the thoughts inside my head.

So don’t be so upset

When your questions are unanswered.

My heart is locked and forged with steel

As are the thoughts inside m...

I woke up one day and was old

(Although I prefer to say middle aged.)

I was young and fit

The last time I looked

(Or As far as I could possibly gauge.)

It’s a situation that makes me unhappy

(And quite frankly that’s putting it mildly)

There’s nothing I can do

To regain my youth

(Despite jumping up and down wildly)

I still drive a sporty convertible

(I do...

I live in the shadow of your smile

And I like the way it lights your eyes;

I like your style

My senses stir with the fragrance of your soul

And I like the way it lingers

So I’ll linger too, for a while

My heartbeat races when we touch

And I like your warmth; the way you feel

I like your smile

You way you talk is like a song

That plays easy on my ears

It’s another grumpy Sunday

Zoe’s late picking up Grandad

And the chicken is nearly done.

I’ve got my feet up watching the race

And shouts are heard in the kitchen

Where I haven’t dared to show my face

It’s another grumpy Sunday

And I haven’t even decanted the wine.

I’ve had to put the race on record

As I’ve been told to set the table

But everything is rosy,

Ev...

I’d dream about love

If I could.

Instead I dream about motorbikes and racing cars

About writing books and a sailing barge

But I’d dream about love,

If I could.

Sometimes I dream about a pretty girl

With beautiful hair and big round eyes

She dreams about love,

Well, if she doesn’t,

she should.

I’d dream about love

If I dared.

Instead I dream about su...
