LYRICS
by Nikki Talbot
(These were the first lyrics I ever wrote for a piece of Herbie’s music!)
I LOVED YOU
I never thought I'd still love you
The waves are crashing and the water's oh, so blue
I never thought I'd still love you
You were my hero, what am I now without you?
I loved you, I loved you
How I loved you, I loved you.
Long ago
In times of old
Our moments were so precious
My heart was filled with gold
… with gold
I never thought I'd still love you
The waves are crashing and the water's oh, so blue
I never thought I'd still love you
You were my hero, what am I now without you?
Help me to discover
My life now that you're gone
And then I may believe
I'm carrying your son
(Sung in an echo)
And my heart…
…drags without you near
Your soul is by my side
I live life without any fear
Standing here
As I look out to the sea
Alone on this rock
Emblazoned by the fire of love I see
I never thought I'd still love you
The waves are crashing and the water's oh, so blue
I never thought I'd still love you
You were my hero, what am I now without you?
FLAMES ON FIRE
My heart is full of love which you never see
From the moment I first saw you, you were the one for me.
I've looked for perfection in every man
But since meeting you, a new life has began
A life where I've begun to understand the emotion
Of love and the desire for total devotion
Each day as I rise
My love I disguise
You're my flame on fire
The one I require
I want you so bad, why can't I say
Just those few simple words when I see you each day
If it's meant to be and the timing is right
Our souls will be shared and our hearts melt each night
The release from the tension, as we come together
A memory from heaven which will last forever
Each day as I rise
My love I disguise
You're my flame on fire
The one I desire
If only you could read the thoughts in my mind
I lust after you, you're a dream to find
But alas, these are only the words of a song
And you may never know of my feelings so strong
It's an old solemn cliché there's more fish in the sea
But open your eyes, we are meant to be
Each day as I rise
I will visualise
Our sensuous love
Reality, from hereof…
FLOATING ON A CLOUD
Standing on a bridge
Looking out to sea
Nobody around you
As peaceful as a tree
The horizon is amidst
A tropical sky
Full of orange, yellow, blue
What a shame we cannot fly
It's a release from the pressure, escape from the crowd
Time to take things in and float upon a cloud
It's a release from the pressure, escape from the crowd
Time to take things in and float upon a cloud
Far away from being told
By the politicians of old
To conform to their plan
And hide behind your man
The ripples of the sea
The roaring of a wave
The tranquil sound of nature
You're an independent slave
It's a release from the pressure, escape from the crowd
Time to take things in and float upon a cloud
It's a release from the pressure, escape from the crowd
Time to take things in and float upon a cloud
Some days you may picture
A dream that's in your heart
This is the time to make believe
And put things to a start
There's no one here to stop you
Just a seagull up above
This time to us is precious
Let you thoughts fly like a dove
It's a release from the pressure, escape from the crowd
Time to take things in and float upon a cloud
It's a release from the pressure, escape from the crowd
Time to take things in and float upon a cloud
ENTANGLED EMOTIONS
Our bodies were entangled
A closeness that we need
A passion sent from heaven
The blossoming of a seed
Your breath upon my body
The beating of your heart
Why can't this be forever?
Alone, but never apart
The intenseness of emotions,
The shivers deep inside
Is this true and lasting
A love never to die
Communication without speech
A desire that will reach
Our bodies' inner feelings
Ecstasy for each
Prolonging the inevitable
Climax and fulfilment
The want of total togetherness
A pleasurable excitement
The intenseness of emotions,
The shivers deep inside
Is this true and lasting
A love never to die
Our bodies are entwined
As close as they can be
Curved and flowing, bodies glowing
Like the branches of a tree
A WASTED TEAR
Why have I found that I've missed you
When I felt so reassured?
That I was strong enough to leave you
when you gave me no reward.
My life with you was brutal
Full of hatred and disgust
But I always looked up to you
You were someone I could trust
You had a bad beginning
But I thought you'd change
With a lot of love and caring
I believed I'd heal your pain
I gave my soul up to you
I lived for the moments we'd share
When we were happy and contented
Together we'd fly through the air
I made the break completely
When your anger went too far
I ended up in the hospital
Where my neck still bears the scar
You could have killed me…
I could have died…
Why did I think that I loved you?
Why didn't I see through your lies?
My memories were only bitter
You're a menace and a cheat
Who I dedicated my life to
When I should have been finding my feet
Today, I'm living for tomorrow
And not leading a life of fear
You were someone I looked up to
Though now a wasted tear
Though now… A wasted tear.
DIG YOURSELF
When you think it's all over
And the time has flown by
Don't be deceived by others
Or an adolescent cry
For help when you're pulled
In a direction unknown
Or pushed in a corner
Or under a stone
Dig down deep
Dig into your soul
Find out what's within
And you'll reach your every goal
Look from the inside
When you're happy not sad
Don't be drawn in by others
Be yourself and be glad
We're here in this lifetime
With this chance to be free
Look around, up and down
Look through things and see
Life's not what you think
There's a depth to be seen
We're alone, but together
Like the ripples of a stream
So dig your own feeling
And learn from them all
Dig the person you are
And have yourself a ball
Dig down deep
Dig into your soul
Find out what's within
And you'll reach your every goal
COME BACK TO ME
So many days and hours have passed since I saw you
So many minutes and seconds have gone, how I adored you
If only time had stood still
And our hearts were together again
You were my one and only
A dream, but you left me
I stayed complete till the day
You appeared in my life
Your beauty shone through
Our love was so true
Come back to me, I feel your love; come back to me, from up above
Come back to me, I need your love; come back to me from up above
Each night as we lay, I dreamed of the day
When together we'd show our faces
Your kiss was so sweet, my heart missed a beat
When you touched me in all of those places
For no reasons at all, you were kicked like a ball
You couldn't stop the fall, to the sea from the wall
There's no way I can say what you went through that day;
But I'll love you for evermore
I shall fight through this maze of dead ends in a daze
And succeed in enforcing the law
Come back to me, I feel your love; come back to me, from up above
Come back to me, I need your love; come back to me from up above
Your eyes lit the way when the dark came to stay
What is colour in this life we lead
I was rich, you were poor, but our love I'll implore
What is class, when we're led by such greed?
Our life was a secret which had to be kept
There was you and I, now me
How I've wept…
Come back to me, I need your love
Come back to me
A SILENT PLEA
The wind blows hard, as a storm starts to grow
The trees look scared what do they know?
As a leaf floats down and is blown about the ground
The bearer shakes his head with a scream but there's no sound
Blow, blow
There's a gale about
Whoosh, whoosh
A silent plea's cried out
A new green leaf, a life that's just been born
Is damaged by the rain in a tropical storm
It's the humans we blame with their gases and fumes
As the ozone layer dies, there's no chance for newer blooms
Blow, blow
There's a gale about
Whoosh, whoosh
A silent plea's cried out
We have watched you all for years, in a life of many tears
We've survived your bloody wars and watched you open up new doors
We stand here giving beauty and see your environment crumble
As the birds choke on your litter, we are not allowed ot grumble
Blow, blow
There's a gale about
Whoosh, whoosh
A silent plea's cried out
Put yourself in our roots, help us to grow new shoots
All you need is a little respect which will have a great affect
Blow, blow
There's a gale about
Whoosh, whoosh
A silent plea's cried out
