Promises Words and music © Tim Hudspith, February 2000 Another Sunday morning They all seem the same I thought that I should call you Just to hear you say my name So I picked up the telephone And punched your numbers in But when you said hullo I just hung up again The night we spent together The promises we made Do you still feel the same? My memories forsake me I can’t recall your smile But I still know how you tasted With your lips on mine The night we spent together The promises we made Do you still feel the same?

Next to Thee Words and music © Tim Hudspith, April 1999 I’m gonna be, next to thee in another hundred miles I’m gonna be, next to thee if I make it home tonight A warm bed, made with clean sheets is waiting at the end of the line I’ll lay down, and I will sleep next to thee tonight I’m gonna be, next to thee In another hundred miles I’m gonna be, next to thee If I make it home tonight I really doubt, there is a God above or a meaning in this life But next to thee, I think there’s just enough to keep me satisfied Now I can see, the city lights shining like a beacon in the night It’s 3am, and I am at the end of the line will I be next to thee tonight? I’m gonna be, next to thee In another hundred miles I’m gonna be, next to thee If I make it home tonight

Silver Studded Sky Words and music © Tim Hudspith, February 1996 I’ve never seen the sun, shining quite so bright I’ve never seen the stars, come out like this at night I’ve never seen a road, so empty and so wide I’m driving to the edge, of a silver studded sky North and then north-west, into country I love best Where city lights instead, are sunsets burning red I see the eastern dark, and I’m almost satisfied I’m nearly at the heart, of a silver studded sky I think I see the stars I’m nearly at the heart I’m nearly at the heart Of a silver studded sky A silver studded sky A silver studded sky

Annalise Words and music © Tim Hudspith, January 1995 I called out your name, sweet Annalise Nothing has changed, sweet Annalise I still feel the same, sweet Annalise I’m counting the days, sweet Annalise Within these walls, there is no laughter Within these walls, there is no sun With no one to hold, and nowhere to run to Sweet Annalise, what have I done? Sweet Annalise I’m counting the days until my release I remember the way, that we used to dream Sweet Annalise, how long has it been? Surrounded by steel, wrapped up in stone Sweet Annalise, how I long to be home Sweet Annalise I’m counting the days until my release Sweet Annalise I’m counting the days until my release I called out your name, sweet Annalise Nothing has changed, sweet Annalise

Heartbeat Words and music © Tim Hudspith, June 1998 This is the moment of goodbye I see the ice within your eyes If sorrow really heals with time I’ll need eternity for mine And the only sound I hear And the only sound I hear Is my heartbeat Is my heartbeat We are together but alone Disintegration too far gone The heavy silence doesn’t break As you get up and walk away And the only sound I hear And the only sound I hear Is my heartbeat Is my heartbeat

Stand Your Ground Words and music © Tim Hudspith, February 1999 I joined up upon my eighteenth birthday Now upon a battleship I sail She’ll take me far to another country Where I will join an infantry brigade I stepped off the ship and into battle And I watched my friends around me fall How my dreams of glory soon were shattered How I longed to shed this uniform Stand your ground the officers they tell us Stand your ground against the enemy Stand your ground because you fight for justice On your side is truth and liberty I could feel the bullets cutting through me And now I sense my life begin to fade And I don’t need an officer to tell me I gave my life for an infantry brigade Stand your ground the officers they tell us Stand your ground against the enemy Stand your ground because you fight for justice On your side is truth and liberty And as I die these words are lost on me And as I die these words are lost on me

Back to Me Words and music © Tim Hudspith, July 2001 Oh my Lord when you receive her Will you keep her safe and sound? For she belongs within your loving arms Instead of laying in this ground She was young and she was beautiful So why did you strike her down? I am waiting for your answer But I don’t hear a sound Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah One moment she was with me And by the next I was alone And the hope that springs eternal Is now drier than a bone Yet still I smell her perfume As it lingers in our home People say you are mysterious But do you have a heart of stone? Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah Halleluiah Oh Lord wont you please Give my lover back to me? Oh Lord wont you please Give my lover back to me? Back to me Back to me Back to me Back to me

Is there any hope for us?

Second Chance Words and music © Tim Hudspith, January 1999 I know that you lay, in his arms tonight Although you used to say, you always would be mine But circumstances change, things are never black and white I tried to make you stay, but I couldn’t change your mind So does he hold you close, like I used to do? Do you sometimes think of me, because I sometimes think of you? I keep your picture near my bed, I keep hoping some day soon A twist of circumstance, will bring me close to you But there will be no second chance I realise it’s true There will be no second chance For me to be with you The blades within my chest, keep sleep from taking me So the letters that you sent, are midnight’s company And the things I should have said, and the man I should have been Mean nothing in the end, now you are with him And there will be no second chance I can’t believe it’s true There will be no second chance For me to be with you For me to be with you For me to be with you For me to be with you For me to be with you

Within Your Arms Words and music © Tim Hudspith, December 1999 I don’t believe a life has passed, without sorrow or regret I don’t believe that love can last, what begins will always end I don’t believe that things will change, I will always feel this way I don’t believe I will be saved, what difference would it make? But I believe I’m gonna stay, within your arms tonight But I believe I’m gonna stay, within your arms tonight I don’t believe we were just friends, we both know that isn’t true I can’t believe this is the end, I will always think of you But I believe I’m gonna stay, within your arms tonight But I believe I’m gonna stay, within your arms tonight But I believe I’m gonna stay, within your arms tonight But I believe I’m gonna stay, within your arms tonight
