Talk To Me

Talk to me, tell me all your dreams, I will share mine if you talk to me
Walk with me, down to where the water feeds the vine, come walk with me
Through fields of joy and pleasure we’ll stroll at leisure to the sea
sunset is our golden treasure, we’ll talk of treasure still to see
these things could be if you walk with me.
Sing with me, sing in harmony with me and rhyme when you sing with me
dance with me, move my body gently, be devine when you dance with me
To the rhythm of the ocean’s heart beat, know that we’ll learn each step in time
For our inspiration we’ll have constant celebration on our minds
You’ll dance beautifully when you dance with me. Tou’ll sing heavenly when you sing with me
Your eyes are clear as water, you’re the ocean’s daughter, oh please be mine
I come to you in peace, I would be yours if you’re so inclined and we could find that we’re of one mind, we could find that we’re two of a kind
Drink to me, toast my health to me as I toast to you and your beauty too
Fly with me, lose yourself in the freedom of the air, free from care
Take a line to the planets, let the universe provide for us in space
You’re a shooting star I feel a comet’s glow each time that I see your face
Take my hand and see if you fly with me. You’re at liberty to talk to me.

Fugitive

Have you ever been held in a cold, grey cell
in the darkest place, only walls to face
have you ever been scared to go home at night
to answer your door, they might be there to
pick you up and lock you away for the night
have you ever felt hunted,
not safe where you live,
You’re a Fugitive
Don’t go to this place, you can’t talk to him
don’t pass my doorway, you’ll be in trouble again
Have you ever felt hounded within an inch of despair
and you can’t understand just why she’d want to drive you there
and you can’t forget
she won’t let you forgive
You’re a Fugitive
Now, it’s a fatal attraction get’s you into this mess
and the more that you’re drawn in the more you find that more is less
A wise, wise man learns to calm himself down
cos if you live by the sword, it will surely cut you down
I hope you never get busted,
hope you never have to live
Like a Fugitive
Well I’m not leaving my house, changing my name, hiding in doorways, weeping in shame
I won’t be hounded out, if that’s her aim, I’m not going to play that stupid game
I’m only looking for justice,
it must be found,
the future’s uncertain
but I’m not going down
I won’t travel the highways
that’s no way to live
I won’t be a Fugitive

John McColm Macclesfield, UK
John is an independant musician from the UK. Apprenticed in 2000 for three years as a street musician, he now plays a set born from the need to play 'songs people know' whilst remaining true to his own musical instincts. Known in Macclesfield and Aschaffenburg', his music holds the listener in a spell primarily based on rhythm but ultimately cast by the intensity of the vocal performance. ... more
