I know you fly by sometimes

Phil Jackson

2016

The gravity keeps me down
Trapped on the ground
I want to fly to you
Up there

The gravity keeps me down
Trapped on the ground
I want to fly to you
Up there in the sky

I know you fly by
Sometimes

Soon when I sleep again
I may see you in a dream
Soaring high on your way through
What shall I do trapped here

Soon when I sleep again
I may see you in a dream
Soaring high on your way through
What shall I do trapped here

You can fly I know you fly close sometimes
Does it make you cry like I do

I watch the turning sky
Washing the air like a machine
In my dream I see you soar
I know you fly by sometimes

I see you in the sunlight
I see you in the sunlight

Sometimes at night you watch me
Sometimes at night you watch me

The gravity keeps me down
Trapped on the ground
I want to fly to you
Up there
In the sky to fly

The gravity keeps me down
Trapped on the ground
I want to fly to you
Up there
In the sky to fly

Maybe if I wait
Maybe if I wait
I will fly when I die

I know you soar by sometimes

I know you soar by sometimes
I know you fly by sometimes

I love you

JUST LIKE ME, JUST LIKE YOU

Train station Announcement “Ladies and gentlemen, the train about to depart from platform seven is the eight fifty five, going to nowhere…”

Saw a girl with bags
And a suitcase on wheels.
She looked sad and in trouble.
She’d broken one of her heels.
She was limping through life
A lot like you and me
Just working to survive
Just working to be free.

Saw a boy, he came to help her
He gave her a smile
Took her bags, took her trolley
And sat her down for a while.
He mended her shoe
Just broke off the other heel
No longer alone she felt happy
She felt real.

Rf:
Trains, full of people,
Going nowhere
Some of them young, some with grey hair.
Some of them happy, some of them blue.
Millions of people
Just like me, just like you.

Trains, full of people,
Going nowhere
Some of them young, some with grey hair.
Some of them happy, some of them blue.
Millions of people
Just like me, just like you.

Going along our way
Sometimes with friends
Hoping for some luck
Before our journey ends.

Rf

Trains, full of people,
Going nowhere
Some of them young, some with grey hair.
Some of them happy, some of them blue.
Millions of people
Just like me, just like you.

Guitar solo

All of them working
For money to live
Each not realizing
They have so much to give.
Each day-a page
In the book of their time.
Will they ever live their true life
Before the final bell chimes.

Rf:
Trains, full of people,
Going nowhere
Some of them young, some with grey hair.
Some of them happy, some of them blue.
Millions of people
Just like me, just like you.

Some of them happy, some of them blue.
Millions of people
Just like me, just like you.

So blue without you

BONES MOAN FROM THE COLD
OF THIS RIDE THAT I’M ON
GONA CRUISE FOR A WHILE
GET A SMILE FROM THE SUN

THE LOAD OF THE ROAD IS WEARING ME DOWN
NO SMILES FOR A WHILE
I WILL STOP AT THIS TOWN

I’M DRINKING A WHISKY
THINKING OF YOU
MY BIKE HAS GONE COLD
LIKE MY FUTURE IT’S BLUE

RF
SO BLUE, SO BLUE, BLUE WITHOUT YOU

I’VE TRAVELLED TOO FAR TO THIS BAR I AM IN
NO FEAR I SIT HERE
IT’S JUST YOU I’M MISSING
I SPEED ON THE LINES
FROM TOWN TO TOWN
I LAY LOW ON THE BENDS
THAT MY KNEE GOES AROUND

DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING
MY HEAD’S IN A SPIN
THINKING OF YOU
AND THE FIX THAT I’M IN

RF
IT’S BLUE, SO BLUE, BLUE WITHOUT YOU

I’M DRUNK IN A BAR
AN OLD MAN STARES AT ME
I RAISE MY GLASS AND I SMILE
AS I REALIZE IT’S ME

I’M FEELING SO TIRED
I’M REFLECTING ON YOU
NOT MUCH FUN
WHEN YOU’RE ALONE
JUST MAKES YOU BLUE

RF
SO BLUE, SO BLUE, BLUE WITHOUT YOU
SO BLUE, SO BLUE, BLUE WITHOUT YOU

Sleepy Feelings

Phil Jackson

2016

First time I ever saw you
Knew I’d never be the same
It was your face on a photograph
Made an impression on my brain

Funny how love comes along
Bangs heavy on our door
Sleepy feelings of true love
Wake up to sleep no more.

Fate it brought me close to you
To play, to hear you sing
It was then you became
My everything,
My everything.

We met that night, I held your hand
For a gentelman’s “Hello”
My eyes, they couldn’t leave your face.
I knew I had to go.

On a party night
I saw you again,
First time for a while.
You looked so beautiful to me
As you gave me your warm smile.

I met your friends that night
They were so nice like you
I had to leave, I couldn’t stay
But I so ..I so wanted to.

Next time we met I wrote a song
It was full of love for you
A fantasy, but it didn’t feel wrong.
It could all be true, It could all be
Me and You.

I couldn’t hide my feelings anymore.
Good friends was not enough you see.
I knew with all this love I felt for you
Only
True love would set us free.

Funny how love comes by
Kicks down doors that were shut before.
Sleepy feelings of true love
Awake to never sleep anymore.

First time I ever saw you
I knew I’d never be the same.
It was your face on a photograph
Made an impression on my brain.

Funny how love comes along
Bangs heavy on our door.
Sleepy feelings of true love
Wake up to sleep
Wake up to sleep no more.
No more.

Funny how true love comes by
Kicks down doors that were shut before
Sleepy feelings of true love
Awake to never sleep anymore.

Funny how love comes along
Bangs heavy on our door
Sleepy feelings of true love
Wake up to sleep no more.

Funny how love comes along
Bangs heavy on our door
Sleepy feelings of true love
Wake up to sleep
To sleep no more.

Now put your hands on your head
And drop to the floor
This world of ours
Can’t take anymore war

Put your arms out wide
Then scream like hell
If we all work together
They may hear us as well

Who are they?
Well I don’t know
But when the buses come
They all should go

Go somewhere else
Where they’ll fit
To study Peace and Love just a little bit
May be the moon or Mars as well
Or may be pack them up and send them to hell

Put your hands together
Give a round of applause
Because without these fools
There’ll be no more wars.

Put your hands on your head
And drop to the floor
This world of ours
Can’t take anymore war

Put your arms out wide
Then scream like hell
If we all work together
They may listen as well

Who are they?
I don’t know
But when the buses arrive
They all should go

Go somewhere else
Where they’ll fit
To study Peace and Love a bit
May be the moon or Mars as well
Or may be pack them up and send’m to hell

Put your hands together
Give a round of applause
Because without these fools
There’ll be no more wars.

Soldier of the Great War

Phil Jackson

2016

I’m a Soldier of the Great War.
I died so you could all be free.
Are you really free?
Are you really free?
Or is it just not meant to be.

I’m a voter who helped you to win.
I liked the promises you made
Before you all got in.
But you were lying.
You were all lying.
And now… you are not even trying.

I’m a wild animal…born with a distinction.
We are all heading…for…ultimate extinction.
Guns and poachers, forest encroaches.
Death quietly approaches.

I am planet Earth. I was so beautiful
Every mountain, forest, sea, lake and hill.
Now you see me dying look at me dying.
No one seems to hear me crying.

I’m a greedy man, get more money anyway I can.
Trample anyone who tries to block my way
Today, tomorrow, yesterday
Today, tomorrow, yesterday
Pay pay pay pay….pay pay pay pay

I am a soldier of the Great War
I died so you could all be free.
Do any of you remember me.
Or is it all just not meant to be.

Where the mountains meet the sky

Phil Jackson

2016

I’m leaving here tomorrow,
The real world beckons me,
Where the birds soar high above the trees
Filtered sun rays dance, for all to see.
Where the cool streams flow on by,
Close, to where my heart can cry.
Close, to where my heart can cry.
Where the mountains meet the sky.

I hear my thoughts, my heart beats again.
The air , so pure, cool & clean
I wash away the shadow worlds lies
With golden leaves upon a stream.
Only here, the eagles fly.
If you listen close, you,ll hear their cry.
If you listen close, you,ll hear their cry.
Where the mountains meet the sky.

Only natural sounds abound.
No mechanics, blood the ground!
Not here! the concrete carpet floors!
Mother nature bolts the doors.

Where rock meets snow to climb so high,
Here my heart can, laugh or cry
Here, where all free souls can fly
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Where the mountains meet the sky.

Where the mountains meet the sky.

Is It You

Phil Jackson

2016

I saw a light through my window
Just a flicker in my head
Didn’t fill my room like a car light
I was all set to go to bed.

I was thinking about the past times
Stardust nights we fooled around
But as I looked out of the window
I saw no light or heard no sound.

Rf:
Things said in the book I read
Reminded me of you
Strange you’re not here
Your face is so clear
I even whispered
Is it you

I sometimes see you in the mirror.
I dream of you through night and day.
I sometimes turn, expect to see you
Or hear the words you used to say.

When I walk I feel you’re with me
I smell your secrets in the air
I close my eyes and I can see you
But I know you’ll only disappear.

Rf:
Things said in the book I read
Reminded me of you
Strange you’re not here
Your face is so clear
I even whispered
Is it you

I don’t want to be here without you
I don’t want to be here all alone.
Was the light a sign of pain
Are you feeling just the same
Shining lights a beacon on our home.

Is it you
Is it you
Is it you

Is it you
Is it you
Is it you.

Far Too Soon

Phil Jackson

2016

IT WASN’T ALWAYS LIKE THIS
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
SUNNY DAYS AND LAUGHTER
KISS AND HUGS FROM MUM
PLAY FIGHTS WITH MY FATHER
CANDY AND BALOONS

THOSE DAYS WERE GONE AND OVER
THOSE DAYS WERE GONE AND OVER
FAR TOO SOON

PICNICS IN THE SUNSHINE
PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS
BIKE RIDES AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
THOUGHT THOSE DAYS WOULD NEVER END
GAZING AT THE STAR LIGHTS
THE MAN IN THE MOON

THOSE DAYS WERE REALLY OVER
THOSE DAYS WERE REALLY OVER
FAR TOO SOON

TIME MOVES ON FOR ALL OF US
WE LIVE THE BEST WE CAN
NOT KNOWING WHAT’S AWAITING US
OR WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
LOOKING AT THE UNIVERSE
GAZING AT THE MOON

OUR DAYS ARE DONE AND OVER
OUR DAYS ARE DONE AND OVER
FAR TOO SOON

NOW ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES
I KEEP THEM WHILE I CAN
I TREASURE THOUGHTS OF LOVED ONCE GONE
AS I BECOME AN OLDER MAN
STILL GAZING AT THE STAR LIGHTS
THE PLANETS AND THE MOON
AS I REALIZE MY OWN DAYS
AS I REALIZE MY DAYS WILL END
FAR TOO SOON

Falling to the ground

Phil Jackson

2016

If you don’t believe in fairies
You will hear this sound

Lots and lots of fairies
Are falling to the ground
If we don’t have fairies
What would we do?
No one to hear our wishes
Or make our dreams come true.
Don’t say you don’t believe
Or you will hear this sound
Far too many fairies
Falling all around.

If you say:“ I believe in fairies
A child’s wish will come true.
Another fairy born
To believe is so beautiful
To do…

Lots and lots of fairies
Flying all around
If we believe
There will be no more
Falling to the ground.

We must believe in fairies
To make the flowers grow.
They color skies and rainbows
And they make our forests grow.
If we don’t have fairies
What will we do?
No one to hear our wishes
Or make our dreams come true…
We must believe in fairies.
