My Fear

I’m sorry to tell you, I’ve forgotten your story
The one that you told me a long time ago
The memories have faded, like ink on the pages
The stone has eroded, the words have been lost
An edit, a rewrite, a change to the tempo
Familiar shapes moulded, to fit a new dream
Voices escaping from under the covers
Telling a story that once was unseen
‘Cause tomorrow will soon come
And you’ll think about what you’ve done
In the calm, before the fears set in
And you look into their eyes, and realise
You can’t save them
I didn’t want to stay here
It wasn’t my idea
And so I locked the door
And locked away my fear

Slow Down

“Slow down”. “Slow down”, but the wind swallowed every word
“Slow down”. “Slow down”. I honestly don’t think that she heard
Then she’s ten steps ahead of me, and gathering pace
And I’m looking for her in the places where we used to play. So I say
“Slow down”. “Slow down”. I still think of her some days
“Slow down”. “Slow down”, but Time ticks along in its own weird way
And I never understood why she couldn’t stay
But if you’re comparing the two of us, she was always so brave
I came here, ready to fight. Stood calling her name into an oncoming night
My words were lost in the throng. I simply waited too long
I shouted, “There are some places that you just cannot get yourself back from!
Slow down”. “Slow down”, but the wind swallowed every word
“Slow down”. “Slow down”. I honestly don’t think that she heard
