Dusty Old Love

As the lovers begin to slowly slip 
from each others tightly locked grip 
out of each others arms they fall 
into the public world and all 

realizing exactly where they are 
a busy station where trains go far 
as one of them boards the dusty old train 
Im sure I can feel their hurt and their pain 

They really do look so much in love 
as one of them places a bag up above 
sits on down and looks outside
as the other looks on the old dusty ride

Soon the engines will have to start 
as the train prepares ready to depart 
their faces look like they belong
and being apart for them is wrong

Its too late now to change their mind 
the trains pulling off and ones been left behind
I watch a tear as it leaves her eye 
and she stands all alone and waves goodbye

Your Hand In Mine

We could go to the beach,
Where the ocean meets the sand
Always together, hand in hand

We could go to the city 
Where the buildings meet the sky
Always together, till the day we die

We could walk through the park 
Where the flowers meet the grass
Always together, hand on your ass

We could go to the forest 
Where the animals live so free
Always together just you and me 

We could go to mars
Where there’s nothing to do
Always together, always with you

I Want To Take You

I want to take you dancing 
through each and every night
I want to take you dancing 
it always feels so right 

I want to take you dancing 
to every club I know
I want to take you dancing 
at every music show

I want to take you dancing 
and spin you round in style
I want to take you dancing
each and every while 

I want to take you dancing 
To every band there is 
I want to take you dancing
and often stop to kiss

I want to take you dancing
it's all I want to do 
I want to take you dancing
cause i love to dance with you

A Bit About Me

I sort of stutter inside my head
Like I'm nervous before the words are said 
My hands they shake and even sweat 
I’m not the one on which to bet

My eyes are weak I’m not so strong
I sort of fumble and get words wrong 
My legs get cramp my toes are bent 
And all of my best years have been spent 

My bones are poor they crack and creek 
I gave up hope my spirits weak 
My thoughts are jumbled it’s not so good 
I’ve never loved like lovers should 

I’m not always honest I lie so well 
And when there's a secret I tend to tell 
But when it's over it’s all been said and done 
There’s not a fault I can’t overcome
