Banjo man

                   Banjo man 
     
      I'm a banjo man 
      In banjo van
      Around the town 
           I play 
       Picking strings 
       Singing things 
       In my banjo way 

     I play so fast 
     The strings go twang
     Sometimes they even snap 
     But I just chuckle
        As I play 
     Cause I's a banjo chap 

    I once was in a dueling fight 
    I played but I forgot 
    The strings I played 
    Began to glow
    And the banjo got quite hot 

    I threw it down 
    And watched it burn 
    The devil came to see 
    I think you're great
    Old banjo man 
   And new one gave to me 

   Now when I play
   The strings stay cool
   And people shout and cheer 
   I sing all day in Freddie bar 
   And drink a pint of  beer
 
    I have travelled 
    Round the world
    I've even got a tan 
    So come and see anytime
    Your friend the banjo man

Remember

Remember

The whistle sounded
For us to go
And we climbed over the hill
I heard the sound of gunfire
And all the world stood still

I turned and saw my comrades fall 
Causing panick in the mud 
I ran toward the nearest trench
And fell down with a thud


Looking round at all the men
There eyes so full of fear
Hands a shaking bodies cold 
But non would shed a tear

Remember, one voice shouted loud
We all looked round to see 
One day he said this war will end
And people will be free

Forever


       I sit among the stars
       And watch you through the clouds 
       I see you every morning 
       And guide you in the crowds

       Some say I'm a angel
       Others call me hope 
       I'm the Voices in your conscience 
       The ones that help you cope 

      At night  whislts you are sleeping
      Inside your head I'll try 
      To keep dream, sweet and happy
      And never make you cry 
     
     When you need me you can call me
     You are never on your own 
     Remember I am here Forever
     So you are not alone

SAND


                           SAND
                  
                   
                      All-around 
                  And in my hand
                  Is golden dust
                 And silver sand
                  

                  It moves in sequence
                  Swirls and flows
                  Through my fingers 
                  Through my toes

     
                 When sand begins 
                 It starts to guide
                 Through happy times
                 And when we slide 


                  Like life itself
                  The sand can see
                     All I have 
                  And what I'll be

Love Me

Love  Me 

               When a lonely heart
               Goes searching
               When a lonely is blue 
               And day can last a lifetime 
               I dream a dream of you 

             When a smile is like a summer
             And a touch a gentle thing 
             When a hug can last for ever
             And a kiss can make you sing

             A kind word said in silents
             A look that sets you free 
             I know it's what I've wanted
             The time that you Love Me
