An old one I found and thought I'd rework
UK based songwriter
A real mixed bag of songs that I've written - various styles.
Also a holding spot for songs in progress and awaiting review.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s nowhere to go when Pandora's box opens.
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.
Nothing to gain, if that’s what you're hoping
Nothing to lose, when all's said and done.
No honour in lying, no glory in candour
It is what it is and no worse for that.
Words always lead on to misunderstandings,
So, bite on your tongue - never look back -
Oh, no
[Chorus]
All those times you spent waiting
And wondering where it would lead,
With your mind on a day yet to dawn
When you'd find yourself free.
All those times when you wondered if life was passing you by,
Did you dare to believe you might find love again?
Nor did I
Nor did I
[Verse 2]
There's something about the warmth of a fire.
Its heat and its light reflect in your eyes.
Some long-forgotten, rekindled desire
Rises from ashes of cold compromise.
So, shake off that ice, throw down your burdens,
Take off that coat - you won't need it here.
The past is the past and the future's uncertain,
But this is your fire, you've nothing to fear -
Oh, no
[Chorus]
All those times you spent waiting
And wondering where it would lead,
With your mind on a day yet to dawn
When you'd find yourself free.
All those nights when you wondered if life was passing you by,
Did you dare to believe you might find love again?
Nor did I
Did you dare to believe you might find love again?
Nor did I
