The clock on the mantle, quietly chimed ten
As she placed the note by its face
Then checking herself in the mirror
She walked to the door, to pick up her case,
The note told him, that she was leaving
That her love for him had died
And without that love, she’d be living a lie
No matter how hard she tried
She hadn’t wanted to leave him this way
She wanted to tell him, face to face
But knew if she did, he’d persuade her to stay
Then she’d never get out of this place.
You see, she’d tried to leave him twice before
But he’d always talked her around
And made her a prisoner, in her own home
Whilst driving her spirit into the ground
She’d lived this way for seven years,
But now the worm had turned
She was leaving her life of servitude,
To find the true love that she yearned.
As she put on her coat and walked through the door
She harboured no feelings of sorrow
For she knew she was crossing the threshold
To a life with a brighter tomorrow.
If I was a rich man
I would buy up market friends
Follow all the new trends
Drive the latest Mercedes Benz
Service myself with greed
Consume more than I need
But if I am honest to myself and true
What I would really love to do
Is buy back time
Take a completely different view
You see to me my biggest regret is that I realized to late
The bounty of love set at my plate
As the cancer took took care of that fate
Familiarity breeds contempt is what he always meant
And when he eventually took his breath his life finally spent
It came abundantly clear what familiarity breeds contempt really meant
When you show love to late your left with only crumbs on your plate
For in reality a truly rich man to this will attest
He has very few friends
Drives a bus not a Benz
Rather lived out his life to atone to amend
In the hope come the day the bitter end
Reading his obituary
Those he loved the most loved him back the most
Now I sit and cry,
For a life to which I said goodbye,
It's not that life that I miss,
But the country girls and the way they kiss,
The beautiful way they smile,
Maybe the view across a country mile,
It seems like such a shame,
Across the continent things aren't the same,
Next to me they would stand,
And gently just hold my hand,
Against my shoulder they'd lean their head,
Not a single word need be said,
At times in the mud we'd get stuck,
Then just lay in the back of my truck,
Life was easy and a bit slow,
But where we'd fit we'd always know,
These memories locked in my mind,
Even though that life's so far behind,
It's not the life that I miss,
But the country girls and the way they kiss!

Once we claimed it as our own, that lovely, special song;
No matter when, no matter where, we simply had to hear its sound.
Our hearts would melt, our love would rise, our feet would leave the ground;
But life goes on, your love has died; no longer, dear, do we belong.
That slow, slow dance, promising, ‘You Were Always On My Mind’;
You held me close and Willie’s words, your lips would lightly sing,
Softly, quietly, in my ear, your love vows whispering.
No longer now, your love has fled, your promise left behind.
So now it’s come, our dance is o’er; no more a life together;
Separate paths diverged before; one way I went, and you the other chose.
We waltzed apart, the music stopped, no more we hold the other close;
The storms of life, the silent songs, we simply could not weather.
Finally figured out why things didn't last,
We knew each other in a life that's past,
All the trials that new Lover's do,
Once before we already went through,
Now in this the new life we generate,
To be in Love twice is to much fate,
Even though our paths did cross,
This time at Love we have lost,
Soul mates as it would seem,
But in a life that's now just a dream,
Still on the parallel ride,
Every minute your by my side,
In pain from our ordeal,
Because no matter what I love you still,
Yet now I must accept,
That as travelers each life can't be kept,
The lives we may pick and choose,
But never knowing what we'll win or lose,
I've felt your Love once before,
How can I expect any more,
I do hope in another life we will meet,
And another chance on Love we both will greet,
Harder next time I will try,
But I know for now I must say Good Bye!

Form:
As brothers do
We argued at times
But on that Monday night
To the heavens you climbed
You ran ahead
But you could run very fast
I was left behind
Your life was cast
To grow together
Was taken from us
For much i would have said
In brotherly discuss
First i would say
I loved you so dear
I have just turned 49
And i wish you were here
A little brother
Needs a big one to follow
For many years after
My life was so hollow
The games we played
Football and others
Its the way it should have been
For us Fraser brothers
So Billy my brother
Boom, Boom to thee
I see you fly through the stars
As you look down over me
I only knew you
Seven little years
And every time i think of you
It brings me to tears
So next time you fly over
I have words to say
There in a loving poem
From my heart their displayed
