All that captures my heart, All that tears me apart, All I think about is you. Fear of losing your love, Fear I can't get enough, All I think about is you. Dreams they cannot really hide, Dreams are so alone. I don't hear you talking, I don't hear the crying, All I think about is you. Every time I hear your name, Every time increase the pain 'cos All I think about is you. Dreams they cannot really hide, Dreams are so afraid. But if my life is to survive The dream must live today. Even now I listen for you, Even now I'm looking for you, All I think about is you. All my strength is slipping, All I am is falling, All I think about is you. Dreams they cannot really hide, Dreams they're so alone. But I need you to survive; Come back to me today.

And who you are is now, And who you are is crazy, And who you are is: Little bits of love but the commitment gets you down, I know you've been around, Even in the morning when you turn and say it's over, 'I'm sorry about the clown'. And nine times out of ten, You'll try to blame another, You'll try to blame the Man who tried to stop you when he saw it all go wrong, He saw it all along, Hope he will forgive you when the Time-Man says it's over. I'm told, even when you're sorry you just cannot slip away, Say it'll be ok, Laugh at what is happening as you turn and tell the Master, 'Sorry about the clown'. And who you are is now, And who you are is crazy, And who you are is: Living for the music but the working gets you down, That's something we all have found, Life is such a nightmare you can wake me when it's over. I know, losing every moment you just cannot throw away, When will you save the day? Counting down the hours when you stop and there is no more, 'Sorry about the clown'.

Why Worry? 03:09
Why worry now? Can't you see as you're lying in bed I am there standing next to your head? You don't believe me, Don't you trust me now? Come to me, then you won't be afraid, Let my love come and fill you instead. Leave it now, 'Cos it's gone, gone, gone, gone; Taking all your troubles away, And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone; Loving an illusion today. See, you need me now; You're feeling sad and the hurting sustains, I can see what is lost to your heart. But can you see me? Can't you feel me now? I can heal where the blood really flows, Turn your pain into gladness again. Leave it now, She's gone, gone, gone, gone; You're loving an illusion today. And it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone; Taking all your troubles away. She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone; Never let her hurt you again.

People, I don't want to cry anymore, People, I don't seem to die anymore. Leaving all the hours I spent with my own dreams; I don't sleep with myself. Time after time when you called, I wouldn't answer, But time can't be passed on my own; open the door. Painting a solitary picture of my own world, It's an old world with myself. Dancing around to my own tune, But the writing was there on the wall, Telling me what my next steps were, But I only saw nothing at all. Stumbling around for a partner, I am drawn to the end of the hall, And I'm feeling you dragging me closer, Myself.

I see the shadows came to stay, Maybe we've moved ourselves away today, Can I hold you close to me one last time? But as the mood turns to brown, Then there'll be no-one around, And as the tide disappears, I believe we're here. Could I keep the rain from falling still? Yes, if you'd trust in me, I will; You'll see I don't care. I think that you were afraid, And I see no-one today, But as the dream turns away, I believe we're here. The after-life is in my way; Could I ever watch the hope fade from me today? In time we'll see who was the fool. But as your life begins to fade, And your hair turns to grey, And the fire in your eyes is burning out; Will your friends still be there? Or is there no-one to care, Stealing away from your time? Because the guilt holds you down, You'll find that darkness surrounds, But on the day that you die, You'll remember me.

about

The second EP from Songs of the Past.

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 second of 3 EPs that are Songs of the Past. These five songs were written during the 90's as part of the Sorry Mr. Fish project – a collaboration with Neil Scott.
