Watching The World Go By

You and I have been a companions for a long, long time
I have been the one you count on as you have been mine
I cannot foresee
If you were not with me
And far, far away a rainbow's hiding
Maybe someday we'll go try finding
But now let us just pass the time together
Watching the world go by
I'm your best friend and your lover, as you are for me
Me and you complete each other, just as it should be
It will never do
If I am not with you
And far, far away our treasure's hiding
Maybe someday we'll go out finding
But now let us just pass the time together
Watching the world go by
What if we could run away
What if things could be okay
We should not give up our hope
I can not give up my hope
We were meant to be together, not to be apart
Though we may not have forever, you'll always have my heart
Can we just pretend
That this is not the end
And far, far away our dreams are somewhere
Maybe someday we'll finally get there
But now I'd rather watch the view beside you
Watching the world go by
Far, Far away a rainbow's hiding
Maybe someday we'll go try finding
But now let us just pass the time together
Watching the world go by

Hold Back The Time

All we have is now
No more will time allow
Hold back the time
And all the days after
And stay by my side
Forevermore
Avoid the sorrow
Let’s cancel tomorrow
And hold back the time
And never say goodbye
Despite how hard we tried
Luck was not on our side
if we could hold back the time
And all the days after
And stay by my side
Forevermore
Avoid the sorrow
Let’s cancel tomorrow
And hold back the time
And never say goodbye
But I know it won’t last
And I know time will pass
And i know that the night will follow this day
And this moment will slip away
Why can’t we have a happy ever after?
Why can’t things just go our way this once!
And hold back the time
And all the days after
And stay by my side
Forevermore
Avoid the sorrow
Let’s cancel tomorrow
And hold back the time
And never say goodbye
Will i love again?
And will it end this pain?

Beautiful Helen

Tumbling thru life aimless in a world that’s so unfair
Drifting thru oblivious of all of life’s despair
Pointing out a thousand times and never getting thru
They say the good die young and now I know that it is true, because
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
I remember we had plans what seemed so long ago
We had the world in front of us, what little did we know
We drew short straws, our life cut short with nothing we could do
They say the good die young and now I know that it is true, because
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
The depth of your beauty
Is inside and out
The extent of your kindness
Was never in doubt
Tumbling thru life aimless in a world that’s so unfair
Calling your name over even though you are not there
Slipping through my fingers all my memories of you
They say the good die young and now I know that it is true, because
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful

By The Shore

All I ask for
To be by the shore
Staring out at the sea
Watching the tide
By your side
That’s where I long to be
In my daydreams
The sun is out shining and our troubles are far
In my nightmares
The storms are explaining just how things really are
All I ask for
To be by the shore
Staring out at the sea
Watching the tide
By your side
That’s where I long to be
In the present
The world is in chaos, in the past is regret
In the future
The way is uncertain, in the end we forget
All I ask for
To be by the shore
Staring out at the sea
Watching the tide
By your side
That’s where I long to be
Take me down to the shore
I will ask nothing more
In the silence
Tune in to the ocean, hear the tranquility
And the music
The beat is seductive, will you go there with me?
All I ask for
To be by the shore
Staring out at the sea
Watching the tide
By your side
That’s where I long to be
All I ask for
To be by the shore
Staring out at the sea
Watching the tide
By your side
That’s where I long to be
That’s where I long to be
That’s where I long to be
That’s where I long to be

Whatever The Chance
03:29

Just by chance I see
Our paths crossing again
Do you remember me
I don’t think I have changed
After all the years and the varied roads travelled
Why each time we meet I end up feeling this way
Never again
Is this our last encounter
Forevermore
Whatever the chance I don’t know
Are you still alone?
Do you ever regret
How far apart we’ve grown?
We both let ourselves get
We both had our share of the good times and bad
Though it’s only the good I have strong memories
Never again
Is this our last encounter
Forevermore
Whatever the chance I don’t know
Auf wiedersehen
And I hope you have a good life
Sayonara
Farewell and goodbye and adieu
Never again
Is this our last encounter
Forevermore
Whatever the chance I don’t know
Auf wiedersehen
And I hope you have a good life
Sayonara
Farewell and goodbye and adieu
Good luck with whatever you do
And never will I forget you

Our first E.P. It was hard rock. It still sounds fresh listening back to it now. A million miles away from 'Songs For Helen'

Our second E.P. We recorded our more pop sounding songs this time around. 'Savage Waters' got played on Triple J. Also, the original version of 'Whatever The Chance' is here.
