I was all alone in the pervading dark
As quiet as a dormouse hark
Encased in my protective shell
A happy face I presented as well
A blur of mixed up emotions 
My mind clouded by inane notions

Just when I thought I was history 
Love shone it's light on me
It was welcome not a mystery
Love Shone it's light on me

You appeared like a sunshine ray
A smile that shone brightly all day
Dia...

Happy makes me sad
Good makes me bad
Sane makes me mad
Laughing makes me cry
Living makes me die

I have lost control of my emotions
All that remain are crazy notions
I am on a rollercoaster ride
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
I can't see the wood from the trees
Under a dark cloud if you please

Surrounded by wretched humanity
I fear for my soul and sanity
I struggle every single da...

I cry in the cascading shower and my tears are washed clean away
I cry a river in my tortured sleep 
And an ocean swallows me whole okay
I shed tears when I remember you
I weep and wish that it wasn't true
Listen to me snivelling and whine
Squawking  and bellowing all the time
Never could I say goodbye
All that I seem to do is cry cry cry

In the endless pouring rain I wail
Whimper and ...

I was all alone on planet earth
Drifting aimlessly for what it's worth 
The rain it came pouring down
In my miserable dreary town
Then you came along like the sun
You shone on me you're the one

Honey be my valentine
Lay your loving on the line
You have set my heart on fire 
Filled my soul with burning desire
Honey be my valentine
Forever I'm going to make you mine
Honey be my valenti...

Hiding in plain sight
Let me get this right
I don't want to be wrong
I've got a feeling and it's strong
You were right under my nose
Sometimes that's the way it goes

Hiding in plain sight
You were a charming delight
Couldn't see the wood from the trees
You arrived like a summer breeze
Under my radar you flew
And my mind you just blew 

Hiding in plain sight
You were my phantom of t...

I used to run forever a marathon man
But now I am a veteran I need a plan
I thought I would give tennis a try
But it wasn't for me goodbye
Squash was next on my list give it a go
But for all my efforts it was a no

My mind was all mashed up man what to do
I had enough of misery and feeling blue
I want to be confident and walk tall
What could be the answer maybe pickleball

So I got my ...

In your arms is where I long to be
Without you I am all at sea
In your arms was my destiny
You rescued me and set me free
In your arms is where I long to be

The time that we were given
Was short but we were driven
Each and every day was a a gift
The sight of you gave my heart a lift
But alas it was not to last
Our happiness was running out fast

In your arms I had peace of mind 
You...

Cancer touched my love and me
The suffering I could clearly see
The diagnosis was duly unfurled
It went and changed my world 
The time we had was short
She battled and she fought
But it was all to no avail
The treatment it was to fail
Cancer touched me

You hear about it on the news
Everyone has their point of view
It can affect young and old alike
You never know when it will strike

Explode you're an angry man
Doing the best that you can
Liberation for your generation 
What happened to our nation
Explode it's time for war
Man the barricades take no more
Explode

I am not a politician on the take
Just trying to survive and life make
I am not left or far right
Just  want to sleep  peacefully at night
Not a racist or bigot for sure
For this mess we want a cure
Some...

There's no escape
No way out
There's no escape 
Freedom I hear you shout 
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
Your life is a crime
You gotta do your time
There's no escape

The days they come and go
You just gotta go with the flow
Your heart is broken
Sad words are spoken
Your skin is peeling
You got no more feeling
The world doesn't care
About you standing there

You life isn't w...

I used to play lawn tennis
But I never made the grade
Then I tried badminton 
But I was always in the shade
At the ping pong table
I was a champ at twelve
So I got myself motivated 
I'm not sitting on the shelf

Off I went to the leisure centre
With my paddle in my hand
I felt out of my depth 
I just didn't understand
Now I have a new family
And they look out for me
With lots of lov...

My name is Tom
Don't get me wrong 
I am a poet and on song
I need to write
To keep me bright
So here goes
My pen it flows
I've got plenty to say
Every single day
My name is Tom

My name is Tom
Today I'm sad
Sometimes I'm mad
In a world that is bad
I need a clear direction 
Give me some real affection
All we get is pain and war
There's no peace anymore
What are we living for
My ...

You were one in a million
You said you loved me
Zillions and gazillions
You were one in a million
With a smile that was sextillion
You went and stole my heart 
Miss you now we are apart
You were one in a million

I was wandering around this earth
Not impressed for what it's worth
Then suddenly out of the blue
I had a dream and met you
You kissed me and it became real
Alive you make m...

Walk beside me hold my hand
Lead me to the promised land
Walk beside me be my guide
Take me to the other side
Walk beside me 
now and forevermore 
You're the one that I adore

I had a little thing called love
It shined on me from above
Then you came and made my day
Lost for words what can I say
I was crying in misery town
Then you laid your loving down
Took me under your wing
Oh wha...

You touched me with your humanity 
You touched me
Lifted my spirits and set me free
You touched me 
I was blind but now I can see
You touched me with your humanity

One day at a time the people say
Tomorrow may never come okay
Be present in the here and now
All you get is a fleeting moment wow
History is long dead and gone
We are not on this planet for long

My heart is on fire
And my head is aflame 
Thoughts come quickly
Exploding in my brain
All I have is my pen
And it's my sword
Mighty and fearless my lord

I write to live 
And I live to write
Get the words out
No need to shout
Today is gonna be okay 
Everything's gonna be alright (gonna be alright)

The world is at war
And we watch it burn
The media just loves it at every turn

Ask me how I am feeling 
Man I am really reeling
Look at me what do you see
Just a man wanting sanctuary
Why don't you engage me
Lift me up and set me free

Ignore me okay 
I just want to have my say
Ignore me that's alright
I won't give up without a fight
Ignore me that's just fine
Justice one day will be mine
Ignore me

Time is a great healer they say
I just get by day by day

Across a buzzing crowded room
I spy you and suddenly swoon
I like the way you glide and move
And dig your crazy groove
You smile and I say hello to you
And wow I am no longer blue
I look deep into your eyes
They sparkle a nice surprise 

Nobody is looking 
Kiss me slow
Kiss me quick
Take a chance
Kiss me now
Kiss me quick

I buy you a cocktail drink
Cheers our glasses clink
We la...

I wake up with a jolty start
To the beating of my pounding heart
In the air there is an artic chill
A whole day I have now to fill

I draw the curtains here we go
To be greeted by a blanket of snow
The lakeland plans I had today
Have been thrown into disarray

The weather is of course to blame 
Oh my that's a sleety shame
Alas all is not completely lost
I shall venture out at any cost

I live on planet earth
for what it's worth
When I look around 
I feel lost and found 
The future seems bleak
I'm on a losing streak

You said that I'm amazing
My praises you sing
You said that I'm amazing
Oh what joy you bring
You said that I'm amazing 
I'm just  doing my thing
You said that I'm amazing

I'm just a working man
Doing the best I can
Just a humble guy

January seems a long time ago
The weeks they ran away
And the months they flew
It's my life what can I say

Twelve months have passed
There goes another year
I worked too much
And didn't play enough
Its behind me now oh dear
But I'm not going to shed a tear

The whole world was in disarray
The weather was wild fire and flood
Storm upon storm and not much summer
Rain landslides and m...
