Pretend
Girl my heart to you's an open book
if you say you love me take a look
there's no need to wonder why
this heart is open wide
if you don't love me then
for my sake please
pretend
I will cherish you forevermore
you to me are heaven's open door
see the tears upon my face
are only there in case
of joy or emptiness
for my sake please
pretend
Girl there's one thing that I'm certain of
this feeling deep inside just cant be wrong
tell me that you feel it too
please say your love is true
and I'm more than a friend
if not then please
pretend.

Rubbish
I read a book of questions
no answers were included
I also read a book about
what hasn't been but should've
and once I read a volume
on things that wouldn't be
and then I read another
on things I couldn't see
they say that in a lifetime
you read ten years of rubbish
I would just like to inform you
here's ten seconds of what that is.
Hope this cheers you up, Charlie.

Show me the star
Show me the star
and I'll show you the lover
for lovers they oft speak
of stars and of moons
passed down through the years
from mother to daughter
and father to son
these words make a heart swoon
And so it remains
in this love of a game
that starlight and moonlight
are not something new
I fear we've learned nothing
but then did we have to
for moonlight and starlight
still do what they do.

Still beautiful.
The gravel, cracking like popcorn under my boots as I made my way up the path to the top of the hill, The view is fantastic I've been told,
'Panoramic',
'Why is it that I have to be on top of something looking down upon it to appreciate it's beauty'? ,
Perhaps I was a bird once in another life? ,
I used to gaze down on you when we were making love, you and that were beautiful too,
'Yes', ' Mind you looking up at the sky can be quite stunning sometimes',
'and laying under trees watching the light fragment through the leaves and branches',
'Maybe things look more beautiful when you look upon them from a different perspective', 'Need to remember that',
'Anyway', 'come on old son', 'I know your'e getting on a bit',
'But let's see what all the fuss is about',
Some large rocks to navigate my way through, Jutting out like Celtic runes barring my way, 'A warning pehaps'? ,
'The path is easier now', 'less worn and more even', 'fewer legs have come this far', 'nature fighting to take it back',
'Just round the corner to go', A rabbit scurrying into the undergrowth.
'Up this steep bank and', 'WOW! '
'Still beautiful'.
