A Regular Joe
He was not really special
Just an ordinary guy
I guess you’d call him
A regular
Joe
An ex-army man
He took everything in his stride
He was a positive guy
He was happy to help: He rarely said
No
Throughout his life
He took it all on the chin
When things were hard he worked his way through
He never asked why
He was easy going: he’d go with t...

Reasons
I’ve no idea what I’m doing here
Of course, it could just be an accident of fate
But it would be kind of nice
if someone could just tell me straight.
As an example of the human race
I’m feeling pretty good
Well, I’ve got a roof above my head,
I’m breathing
And the blood
That keeps going round and round
Takes the oxygen to my head
Or so it’s been said
I...

The Old Man with the Beard
I’m the old man with the beard
Who lives in the sky
I am the universe
And the universe is me
I’m the man who sees everything

I can see everything in ten different ways
And I gave the names to seven different days
I can see things big and I see things small
And no matter where you are
I can hear your call
There are some who reve...

A Thousand Years Ago
It’s happened all before:
People lived and loved
A thousand years ago,
Or so.
They had petty squabbles
And were late for work
They spent money they didn’t have
And bought things they didn’t need
They lived and died
And laughed and cried
A thousand years ago,
Or so.
Men chased their lovers
And they wined and dined
And made love under the cove...

It Doesn't Matter Anyway
It doesn’t matter anyway
That something went unseen today.
Everything fades away.
It doesn’t matter anyway
That coastal waters washed away
Our footprints in the sandy bay
That yesterday the sun was warm
And the boy next door played on the lawn
It doesn’t matter anyway
That much to my dismay
My bicycle was stolen whilst I was away
And last night our neighb...

Between Dreams
There is a moment between dreams
when you’re neither here nor there
A dream can pull you one way
Or pull you another
There’s a calmness and understanding
That your inner self can touch
That your secret self can feel
Pulling you together
Perhaps you’re in tune with someone
Connecting soul to soul
Someone that you’ve never met
Someone that you’ve known, for...
