Poet’s Truth

When I looked into your eyes
I knew I could not disguise my love for you
You take me far away
You take me to a place of light and truth
I’m lost in you
In your eyes I see your soul
It’s there I lose control
And all I want is you there inside of me
Inside of me
All I want is your love, love, love
You and me moving on, moving up, up, up
All I need I see in the depths of your eyes
When your lips touch mine
There is no time
The ribbons you untie
It’s simple, all I need in life is you
And I don’t care what they say
There will never be a day I’d lose for you
That’s my poet’s truth
All you’ll feel from me is love, love, love
You and me moving on, moving up, up, up
All I need I see in the depths of your eyes
When your lips touch mine
There is no time
I didn’t know you and I wanted to
This fire within, it’s kept on burning
And in that moment when I first saw you
My heart it told me what it knew to be true
All I want is your love, love, love
You and me moving on, moving up, up, up
All I need I see in the depths of your eyes
When your lips touch mine
There is no time
Meet Me In The Middle

Sometimes love goes crazy
And then it’s time to regroup
Sometimes I get so lazy
I’ve got to still make time for you
Just smile yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can just sleep now, now, now, now
We’ll catch up with each other
Sometime soon, somehow
So on our separate pillows
And as silent as the snow
We’ll spin down into our sleep
And away our spirits go
We’ll meet in the middle tomorrow
Drenched in thought but my mouth is dry
Another moment of life passed by
Feel like I’ve done nothing all day
Finding the time to stop and say
Just smile yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can just sleep now, now, now, now
We’ll catch up with each other
Sometime soon, somehow
So on our separate pillows
And as silent as the snow
We’ll spin down into our sleep
And away our spirits go
We’ll meet in the middle tomorrow
All this is all about
One thing that’s paramount
Keep this picture in view
Intention is everything
Blind, you undermine everything you do
Just smile yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can just sleep now, now, now, now
We’ll catch up with each other
Sometime soon, somehow
So on our separate pillows
And as silent as the snow
We’ll spin down into our sleep
And away our spirits go
We’ll meet in the middle tomorrow
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
Lonely Star
- Vocals/Guitar – Jenny Bishop

Day by day my brave face
Is falling down, falling down
Closing eyes
The sadness inside
Is escaping through my skin
And the darkness calls
I try to follow the light
But the light was in your eyes before
And I don’t see them anymore
There’s a lonely star beating like a heart
And it’s listening
Glistening for me
And I’m asking ‘why?’
It’s not like I haven’t tried
When the love goes astray
And my soul just fades away
The darkness calls
I try to follow the light
But the light was in your eyes before
And I don’t see them anymore
I don’t know how to let you go
I can’t trust that I can breathe
When there is no you and me
I don’t know how to let you go
And I don’t know how to be more than half of me
And I don’t know why it hurts so deep
But I can’t keep myself away from you
The darkness calls
I try to follow the light
But the light was in your eyes before
And I don’t see them anymore
Day by day my brave face
Is falling down
Falling down
Silent Feelings
- Vocals/Guitar – Jenny Bishop
- Trumpet – Richard Evans
Some connection
Some attraction
Like a surfer to the sea
Something chemical
Something burning
Deep inside of me
Washed up
Need to crawl home
I’m gonna stand up
And face it all alone
Each wave folds onto the beach
And as I lie there
They don’t quite reach me
I lift my head and face into the wind
I want to know
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why do you keep me waiting?
Keep me waiting, for you?
I’m focused on the waves retreat
As they slowly edge away
If I were to jump in
Would it make them stay?
The cloud cover darkens the sky
I’m feeling cold as it turns to night
I came here to clear me mind
But I can’t stop asking myself why?
Oh why?
I lift my head and face into the wind
I want to know
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why do you keep me waiting?
Keep me waiting for you?
Freedom

There are places I’ve not been
That doesn’t make me less than him
He can’t see my light
And sometimes I struggle to find purpose
There are faces I can be
They’ll help me hide my vulnerability
But I don’t want to disappear inside
Never to resurface
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I can let you go
He is right that there is darkness
But there’s darkness in us all
He had to keep me there
He needed me to keep on falling
And my weaknesses they grew
And I was dead inside to you
But up this mountain of freedom
I will keep on crawling
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I can let you go
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I can let you go
Lullaby
- Vocals/Guitar/Glockenspiel – Jenny Bishop
To my oldest one
My first born, my son
I’ll try harder every day
To hold you and make
Those seconds count
Every one
Every one
And I’ve made mistakes that I can’t change
I’m gonna let my love pour down like rain
Live your life honest and true
In all that you do
To my second child
My girl strong and wild
Harder, I’ll try
To have a wholly present mind
When your thoughts have you entwined
And all you want to do is talk
Into the night
And I’ve made mistakes that I can’t change
I’m gonna’ let my love pour down like rain
Never believe that life is hard
Live life slow
‘Cause it goes so fast
To my littlest one
My third bundle of fun
I’ll try harder every day
To sing to you and play
And to savour that bliss
In your smile
And in your kiss
And I’ve made mistakes that I wouldn’t change
I’m gonna let my love pour down like rain
Here I am now telling you this
You fill me with joy
My girls and my boy
There’s not one moment
That I would miss
New Kind Of Man
- Vocals/Percussion/Drain pipes – Jenny Bishop
Move slow
I didn’t see the end
It reaches down
To the child within
All the secrets not lost
Just left with your bones
Is there any warmth left in the shade in the stones?
Water fell on your face
Frozen they hide you away
Hunger piloting sleep
Foraging the void of unfathered insecurities
Where you are
Not close enough
She held our hearts
To bring love
And a new kind of man
Summer ruin
Hollow moon
Naked heart
Just doors apart
Not strong enough
To fight it off
Move slow
Move slow
Where you are
Not close enough
She held our hearts
To bring love
And a new kind of man
Where you are
Where you are
In Your Eyes

I’ve just gone to bed early
For the ninth time since you’ve been gone
My blanket fort is my shelter
I’ve no defence against lost
I am wishing that you are missing me
As I’m holding onto a thread
Of picture perfect memories
And all the loving words that you’ve said
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be in your eyes for a lifetime
I just woke up early
From the jetlag of the plane
I landed in Toronto
Monday morning in the rain
The sun it is now shining
But I know that you’re not here
With every step I take without you
I shed another tear
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be in your eyes for a lifetime
Morning light peaks in
I have a choice and I choose you
When the night come drawing in
I have a choice and I choose you
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be in your eyes for a lifetime
I wanna be in your eyes
I wanna be by your side
I wanna be in your eyes for a lifetime
Don’t You Knock
- Vocals/Guitar – Jenny Bishop

No fear or surprise
There is no way you can deny
Too many holes too big to mend
I’ve got no time left for you my friend
Stone hearts chipped away
A little more every day
It’s common ground and nothing can grow
Where there’s no life, there is no soul
I don’t believe we even left the start
And I won’t be your fallen star
I’ve taken my love
I’ve taken my heart
I won’t feel what I felt before
Don’t you knock on my door
Those words they fall like a curse
They scatter shards and spread your worth
You can try, but I won’t wait
I’ve heard it all before, make no mistake
I don’t believe we even left the start
And I won’t be your fallen star
I’ve taken my love
I’ve taken my heart
I won’t feel what I felt before
Don’t you knock on my door
Gone
- Vocals/Piano – Jenny Bishop
Why did you keep me there?
What was the power that you had?
Why could you never let me get away?
I knew I was sinking
As you were pulling me in
All that time you were just adding weight
You’d beg me for forgiveness
Then say you’d done no wrong
You could have said
You were already gone
As hard as I tried to hide
From who they told me that you were
There was no hiding from
You always pulling me apart
Did you know that I fought for you?
The endless lies I told myself
Every night I would cry for you
I don’t see how you’ll ever believe
That anything you did was wrong
But you could have said
You were already gone
The fire I had for you
Has finally gone out
This is your last song
My love for you is gone
