Ghost

You used to have a name
That I can't remember now
I'm sure that in the future
It'll all come back somehow
You used to be so raucous
You'd back me in my fight
And in a quiet moment
You'd read to me at night
You used to leave me messages
All around the place
Now I know confusion
And it's written on my face
You used to be so vibrant
In each and every way
The ghost of you's still with me
I can feel it here today

What is it all for if everything you own ends up in a skip. When your possessions and things end up in the tip. Went back to my late nans house today.

No One But You

A hand above the water. An angel reaching for the sky. Is it raining in heaven. Do you want us to cry. And everywhere the broken hearted. On every lonely avenue. No one could reach them.

(For My Mother)Can I Tell You Something.....

My life was full, varied and long. But now it's time for me to sing a different song. PLEASE remember me fondly, with memories good. For I tried to love you all, like a mother should.

MEMORIES

We miss your face, We miss your smile. And we know we won't meet, For quite a while. You left your memories, In the past. And we'll make sure, That they are sure to last.

For "Mom-Mom"

Slowly, surely bubbles rising. Fate determined, people sighing. Holding breath, sink below. Pressure pushing, don't let go. Pursing lips turning blue, bubbles pass, breathe untrue.
