The night before won't stay with me too long, Another taste for life will soon be strong, The subtle sounds that whisper in my head, The day belongs to someone else instead. And my life is yet undone, Is there hope for things to come? Should I wait until tomorrow? Welcome to today. The light inside has never burned away, The truth I heard before has always stayed. I can't forget the words that gave me peace: 'Forever you will be with me'. And the more I feel this way, Should I wait another day To complete the outward journey? Is it time to start to turn, Another life begin to learn, Where there's hope to face tomorrow? Welcome to today. The voice inside gets louder all the time, The promise of a future can be mine. Now I see a life ahead, For you have raised me from the dead, You have torn the final curtain. A life of purpose, not of shame, For you have called me by your name, I know your destiny is certain. And my life is not yet done, I have hope for things to come, As I see into tomorrow, Welcome to today.

Talk to Me 03:53
Maybe I just don't care if I got in your hair, If I got under your skin, you know. I worry about it all of the time, If I got in your mind, If I got into your thoughts, you know. I've been thinking about what you said, when I got in your head, Is it madness or hope you feel? I worry about it all the same, never know who's to blame, Never know how I should make you feel. Don't think you passed me by, I'll run before I walk before I go. Don't think you passed me by, I showed you how to make it on your own. But I wanted to talk to you, But you didn't really care if my words were still not there; Talk to me, talk to me. I will never stand in your way, though I worry about it night and day, If you ever tried breaking free. I know it's not who you are but the way you act is really bizarre, Can't you see what you're doing to me? Won't you see? Don't think you passed me by, I'll run before I walk before I go. Don't think you passed me by, I showed you how to make it on your own. Let's see how you make it on your own.

I called, you answered, I fell at your feet, When you smiled, the skies cleared then, I caught on fire, in love with the heat. And we walked by a river to a garden with a wall, But no way in, I turn round to ask you; You can't have left me, I take the fall. Don't leave me here outside your garden, Don't leave me here outside your wall, Don't leave me here outside your garden, Don't leave me here at all. Tirelessly, I search then, Through a crack the garden I see, You are there alone with the beauty, With no-one to share it; please share it with me. So I find that you are the gateway, Only with you can I enter the scene, No other way is open before me, You and you only could break through the screen.

Watch Out! 03:55
Watch out! Here I go again, my heart is on the run, And here, here I am again, it's a table just for one. And I wasn't so alone since I heard the river flows. At night, fear returns again, all that is not mine; The quiet and the loneliness, no-one hears the cries. And I wasn't so afraid when I heard you are my friend, And I wasn't so alone since I heard the river flows. If I, I'm losing track again, hold me in your arms, 'Till I, I'm feeling strong again, shelter me from harm. And I couldn't stand the loss if I looked the other way, There can never be a doubt this is more than just today, And I wasn't so alone since I heard the river flows. Light shine down!

about

The song-writer has a catalogue of many songs. Some are just memories, others all but forgotten. But a few stay. They are not necessarily the best songs, but they have remained – always accessible, often silently played in the mind. They are part of him.

Over the past few months I have attempted to record those songs of mine, as true to how I have always heard them in my head.

This is the first of 3 EPs that are Songs of the Past. These first four songs, now remastered, were initially recorded as an experiment in a room above the garages during our tenancy at The Farquharson Arms.

about

Nev Green Penrith, UK

Author and Singer/songwriter now - finally - with the time to record and produce my songs while enjoying the delights of Eden in the north of England.

I love to explore the complexities of life, our relationships and emotions in my songs. How the physical reflects the spiritual and points to a greater reality.
