I Will Wear Black - Maria Daines

 

Where the wild roses grow In the silent fields of loss Beloved names are etched in stone For those who lived and loved and lost See the ones who come to pray And lay their hands upon the ground Last words they couldn't say Spoken softly to the clouds These arms still feel you This heart remembers Your smile still lingers in my sad old eyes The stars, the flowers These cruel empty hours The tears of time hold fast these precious ties All the laughter we once knew Little bells that ring around the house The chair that holds the shape of you The love that will not let me out Don't wanna leave, I don't want to forget Not yet, not ever, I will always look back There is no goodbye, I can't regret And I will wear black These arms still feel you This heart remembers Your smile still lingers in my sad old eyes The stars, the flowers Cruel empty hours The tears of time hold fast these precious ties Another sunset follows rain The books you bought and never read Your birthday picture in a frame Smiling eyes still look ahead Life will never be the same Yet the heart is ever strong Love will conquer and remain And keep her gift, her endless bond These arms still feel you This heart remembers Your smile still lingers in my sad old eyes The stars, the flowers These cruel empty hours The tears of time hold fast these precious ties Don’t wanna leave, don’t wanna forget I will always look back No goodbye, no regret I will wear black I will wear black I will wear black

Goodbye - Maria Daines

 

Go on and drain the sea Lose the colour of the sky Leave nothing there for me I have no tears to cry Let darkness be my veil Let wood encase my heart Burn the ships that sail Run aground this empty ark Take all you ever wanted From the hand that I hold back The things you took for granted Are all boxed up and packed A measure has no meaning When the quantity has gone A stone dropped in the ocean Will stay where it belongs Goodbye, goodbye This is my last goodbye Goodbye, goodbye I have no tears to cry Ain't it funny how the silence Points to mediocrity Yet when you were my tyrant You were king and home to me And I'll take with me the pictures Of you smiling 'neath the sails And cast away my treasures As the sun above me pales Goodbye, goodbye This is my last goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I have no tears to cry Go on and drain the seas Lose the colour of the sky Leave nothing there for me I have no tears to cry Let darkness be my veil Let wood encase my heart Burn the ships that sail Run aground this empty ark Goodbye, goodbye This is my last goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I have no tears to cry, to cry No tears to cry, so it’s goodbye No tears to cry, no tears to cry

Summer Blues - Maria Daines

 

Sun is shining in your eyes And there's laughter all around you Not a cloud in heartache's skies Sweet memories surround you You know it's gone, you bound to lose No going back, goodbye the muse Can't make it right what you been through You got the summer blues Put on your hat and walk away Save these dreams for another day A little heartbreak come your way Here and now, what's left to say You got the badge, you earned your pain Tried your best and tried again It ain't your doing this old news You got the summer blues While you dream in sunshine a little rain will fall And time will heal you as you build your wall The things that hurt your heart won't hurt you no more You might not win the battle but you'll win the war These endless days will come and go Dead of winter 'fore you know You'll look back, how hard you cried Lost and looking for your pride We all been there, let down and used And season's change and fade the bruise All walked a mile in sorrow's shoes You got the summer blues And while you dream in sunshine a little rain will fall And time will heal you as you build your wall The things that hurt your heart won't hurt you no more You might not win the battle but you'll win the war And while you dream in sunshine a little rain will fall And time will heal you as you build your wall The things that hurt your heart won't hurt you no more You might not win the battle but you'll win the war

Love Calls Time - Maria Daines

 

When love calls time And the glass is dry And the bartender whistles His tired goodbye When you've spent all night Talking riddles in sighs And your thoughts just give you More reasons to cry It's time to go home To lay down your weary head Lie there in the dark On the unmade bed Now you'll remember What you had n' what you need What you wish you could get back What brought you to your knees This thing called love This hurt in your heart It won't let you give it up Until it tear you all apart You can beg and you can scream Sometimes it holds you in a dream Sometimes it leaves you to your pain You won't ever be the same You can run like the wind And think it won't catch up Tell your prayers to the walls Try to change your luck But you'll never forget the most beautiful love Only thing in life gonna raise you up So you should know Love heals and scars Brings you hurt in whisky jars And wishes on the stars It deals in doubt Wrecks your soul inside n' out I gotta sing it but we all know We gonna give it one last go When love calls time And the glass is dry And the bartender whistles His tired goodbye When you spent all night Talking riddles in sighs And your thoughts just give you More reasons to cry This thing called love This hurt in your heart Won't let you give it up 'Til it tears you all apart Ahh love calls time Ahh love calls time Yeah love calls time Love calls time The thing called love, yeah The thing called love, yeah

A Wing and a Prayer - Maria Daines

 

 

Not going back with my head hung low The place on the map is different now I bought a new book, found a new road New shoes for the journey, a tale to be told The things that I wanted I don't want now The clown ran away, found a way out The circus left town in a smoky black cloud I waved it away and laughed in the crowd Let the sky fall, I'll cry when it's over The cards have been played, the deck fell apart Take the weight of the world from my shoulder I'll build a new fort around this old heart When the light fails close all the curtains Take the last bow, the helpers are there Time fades and life is uncertain Now is the time, a wing and a prayer I read all the rules and I didn't like them Never could fall when I knew I could stand I wouldn't give in and I wouldn't stop fighting Shouted my corner until I was banned Knew I was right, told them their fortune Nobody takes a cheap shot at me I did all the rounds and then started walking Hammered the chains, it's time to be free Let the sky fall, I'll cry now it's over The cards have been played, the deck fell apart Take the weight of the world from my shoulder I'll build a new fort around this old heart When the light fails close all the curtains Take the last bow, the helpers are there Time fades and life is uncertain Now is the time, a wing and a prayer Let the sky fall, I'll cry now it's over The cards have been played, the deck fell apart Take the weight of the world from my shoulder I'll build a new fort around this old heart When the light fails close all the curtains Take the last bow, the helpers are there Time fades and life is uncertain Now is the time, a wing and a prayer A wing and a prayer The last bow and the helpers are there A wing and a prayer…

Hope will not be broken - Maria Daines

 How much can a heart hurt

Can we live when it breaks

Is trust our anchor

In the loss of our mistakes

How far and how wide

Are the pieces buried deep

In the love we sing to sleep

Praying with the angels

Listen to the ocean

On the walls to see the view

The crying of the waves

Hope will not be broken

She sends her love to save

How gently we climb

Forget all time and space

Look down into forever

The wishing well of truth

And nobody hears

She sends her love to save

The siren on the rocks

And smash the clocks

The crying of the waves

Listen to the ocean

Hope will not be broken

The doors that we should close

Feel the pain, the affray

Set it down, let it go

Another heart in the wreckage

The place that lovers know

Can we live when it breaks

Only let the demons in

And on and on the story goes

We never win

Is trust our anchor

How much can a heart hurt

In the loss of our mistakes

How far and how wide

Praying with the angels

Are the pieces buried deep

To save...

In the love we sing to sleep

Listen to the ocean

The crying of the waves

Hope will not be broken

Sends her love to save

She sends her love to save

Regrets of the Heart - Maria Daines

When this is all over, gonna lay down my shield Raise a glass to the memories, our dice lost the deal You are the heart of this woman, the love and the soul But oh how times change honey, and oh how we roll We burnt all our bridges and we turned out the light Oh we fought and we quarrelled, through the day and the night We broke us with weapons and words full of tears Tore out the love and wasted good years Now our love wonders lonely with nowhere to go Oh we gave it our best shot, to the end of the show So, don’t you call me to tell me you’re always my friend Cos I learnt my lesson honey, yeah, and this is the end Still the blues knows the answer, the reason and the rhyme And the words we can’t sing honey, are the words lost in time Now you are my last battle, my passion and my song And there’s nothing to say no more, we’re broken, I’m done So, goodbye to the laughter and I won’t dwell on the pain Can’t look at your picture and I can’t smile in the rain Got me years to remember, how the greatest love lasts And together we know boy, the regrets of the heart…

Robbie - Maria Daines

Oh my shadow, lost to time but not to heartbeats of the spirit living on Oh the love, cannot be stolen, never taken, never broken though you're gone Oh the boy who stayed so close and never wandered from the safety of my side You were my joy, and I am haunted by the loss you never wished to leave behind. Time is passed And all our treasures roll too far away Death is harsh and in our mother's warmth we long to stay Of Robbie Burns and brave young masters of the verses and the poetry of life You took his name and took your mischief into realms that echo through the dawn of time Oh Rannoch's friend, and you and Shoni gazed on Lennon through the glass, you knew so much And to the end, I saw it coming and I couldn't dream the dream that you would mend Time is passed And all our treasures roll too far away Death is harsh and in our mother's warmth we long to stay Now I recall, those days of summer and the smiles you gave from love so deep inside And through it all, there is no power greater than the heart of canine full of pride Oh the night, is always blinding in the hour I hear the calling out of sight And now I know, you're with my spirit, you're my healing, you're my home, you are my light...

Night for the lonely - Maria Daines

These tears are for another day These eyes, how they've cried This hurt won't ever go away Without you by my side This night is for the lonely... I'm broke up all inside This heart won't lose another beat These dreams won't ever be This game is over incomplete The day you set me free This night is for the lonely And the loser is me... When you gonna feel a liar's pain? Am I gonna see your cheatin' face again? Didn't somethin' ever break you down? I can't come back to the surface I'm goin' to drown... Night for the lonely These lips can't make you kiss me back These arms can't fold around you Our time is headin' down the track It's hard to be a blind fool This night is for the lonely Not so kind to be cruel
