seems like only yesterday i had it all just figured out i'd rest my head upon your shoulder watch my hair grow thin and grey today my tears for company on a plane back to reality will i forget our sail upon the thames as i forget your maiden name? the welcomes and words of fair well you know i hate them too even though it always hurt like hell in between them there was you... shall we admit our love was all in vain have you burnt our souvenirs? i know growing up is always painful i was ready for your tears The things i love the most just tend to die Yet all will be forgotten when i’m gone... still we were close baby you & me and i still wish it could be in that kingdom deep inside my dream i was your king you're still my queen I heard your dreams have left you all alone To brave the darkness of your nights i wish i was a knight in armor this time baby i'd do it right The things i love the most just tend to die Yet all will be forgotten when i’m gone... if i could be anyone else i would have proudly sang this song to you if it wasn’t for him I know you could have easily talked me through this i respected your wish you wanted to be left on your own for a while never saw that ‘while’ go by…

baby baby you dare to say i've turned my back on you all day don't be silly now - i wasn't praying no Lord you said come to bed lets make things straight the feeling's there it sure can't wait a little music helps - burn a candle - handle me it's funny you should procrastinate cause the sun is fading i heard them say on the radio i ain't kidding no - no no no if this is our final hour I'll stay up a little longer I'll stay up a little i’m not that tired its been raining now all through the year all in all i fear you don't know many indoor hobbies zig a zig ah so won't you shake your certainties believe in stones you could but please it's fine with me as long as they're not thrown at me if this is my final hour I’ll stay up a little longer I’ll stay up a little i’m not that tired and all this feels like deja-vu so many twists and turns and what have you's and from my point of view for all i care it's a very fine line yet it don't seem fair when its not you its me I’ll stay up a little longer I’ll stay up a little i’m not that tired © Jake Watt - 2010

i am done with you playing hide & seek with the sun remember how it all begun stranded in an open box you just sit back and look your silence is an open book... catch your breath hold your tears all around us swords and spears feels like we haven’t slept in years stay alert its not too late i'll drive us if you navigate any place any where is fine Remember chance it don't come twice i am done with your never ending changing of moods long gone red riding hood hold your breath to the world do whatever suits you best i wont take no regrets embrace your fears seize the day opportunist you may say anyhow choose your way there's time for talks and time for acts face the wind don't look back to any place anywhere Remember chance it don't come twice © Jake Watt - 2010

Mirror image 04:03
i saw the pale forehead i saw the mirror image i saw the pale forehead reflected from behind the bar i saw the fringe of i saw the mirror image of i saw the fringe of darkest hair reflected from behind the bar From behind the bar she was behind me, i saw the mirror image of her she was behind me all along reflected from behind the bar looking at my back, looking in the mirror image i saw her looking at my back reflected from behind the bar From behind the bar Minding her own business She laughed at something If I were to move she’dbe gone She moved instead Left me and the mirror empty The mirror from behind the bar Me and the mirror empty The mirror from behind the bar... © Jeremy Bruce-Watt / Jake Watt - 2010

in my early days in good old Lancashire a beautiful place to stay for both me and my sister now do you remember bon voyage Charlie Brown a pound a week for sweets and treats the daily sun the sunday mirror that coin looked like gold to me I’ll remember those days till the day that I die Your deep voice A-saying Tomorrow never comes It was simple in terms be patient you said The world will be yours when my boat comes in so there I stood awaiting silent attraction pacing Morecambe bay lost in the horizon just show me a sign like smoke on the water ‘cause maybe that boat will bring back my father now will it come soon, yeah tomorrow you said it might even sail down river lune I’ll remember those days till the day that I die I can still hear you say Tomorrow never comes It was simple in terms be patient you said The world will be yours when my boat comes in years they have passed I’m no longer expecting any deal to go down any boat to come in when at the end of the day you retire from this world please take me with you… I’ll remember those days till the day that I die Your deep voice A-saying Tomorrow never comes It was simple in terms be patient you said The world will be yours when my boat comes in It don't have to be this way I don't need no goodbyes I’ve never really been into sailing anyway This ain’t simple it ain't and patient I’ve been My world will be torn when your boat comes in… © Jake Watt - 2010

i picture you alone a far cry a distant moan the echoes of your pain they freeze me to the bone the ocean holds apart two souls but still one heart no closer than before still under the same star i know how you feel i have walked this floor i have been there before... Heal me and i'll heal you Just like brothers and sisters do Heal me and i'll hold you tight Just like brothers and sisters might Heal me ‘cause i swear there's room up here For you and me childhood is a curse the deeper within the worse echoes of our past them words engraved in stone it hurts love can be so mean complexes yet to redeem the path ahead is long and windy as fragile as a castle made of sand i know how you feel i have walked this floor i have been there before... Heal me and i'll heal you Just like brothers and sisters do Heal me and i'll hold you tight Just like brothers and sisters might Heal me ‘cause i swear there's room up here For you and me I just wish I could be… Anyone but me… © Jake Watt - 2010
