You and Me

By the sea,
You and me,
We could be,
On this glorious night,


Walk with me,
Along the tree-lined boulevard,
Onto the blue fountain of love,
Romantic encounter awaits,
Here we are arm in arm,
On an evening stroll,


Surprise me with your love,
Walk along with me,
My heart desires you and more 
Take me now,
Give yourself to me tonight


Whisper your words of love,
'Te amo,I love you madly', 
The two of us,
Around the world,
We could travel afar
To the Far East and beyond


Where my love goes,
I shall be there,
My song of love for you,
'Te amo,je t'aime,I love you',
Just the two of us,
Listen to your heart,
As it sings to you,


At the ocean's edge,
It's paradise island,
As we walk hand in hand,
Through this fairground attraction,
Simply said,'I love you' 


You and me,
We could be,
On this glorious night,
Surprise me with your words of love,
Messages of love from above,


I need love,
Like the sunflowers need the sunshine,
I need your loving embrace tonight,
Like the Earth needs the sun,
I need your gentle touch,
Like the desert needs the rain,


Sweet words falling from above
Take my love,
On this misty,rainy,night,
On the midnight train 
My journey home to you,


Nothing to be scared of,
Walk with me,
Talk to me,
Listen to your heart,
As it sings to you,
Just the two of us,
You and me,


Walk though the raindrops of love,
Scattered in the air tonight,
I see your smile,
I hear your voice call to me,


Listen to your heart
As it sings to you tonight
For you're always on my mind
Sing to me,Sing my darling,
Let me hear your precious voice,
On this glorious heavenly night,
Just you and me

In My World Tonight

Every beat of my heart,
Races with excitement
With the very thought of you,
Your soft golden silvery voice,
Upon my mind tonight,


My heart races towards you
Onwards though the night


Bonsoir chérie,
Bon nuit mon amor,
Every night,every day,
My love is all around,
Despite the many miles apart,
You're a part of my world
Tonight forever with me,
Across the universe of time,
The stars shine bright,
All the world's a stage,
We have our part to play


My love races onwards 
through the night,
I'll always be there for you
My soul beside yours


For you're in my world tonight,
for all of eternity
Your soft gentle voice,
On my mind tonight,
My love for you,
Is deep and true,


Just the very thought of you,
Upon my mind tonight,
My heart races towards you,
Onwards through the night,
For you're in my world tonight

A Friend of Mine

My dear friend,
You wear your heart on your sleeve,
That's clear to see,
My sweet friend,
You're so dear to me,


The blue enamel bangle you gave me,
Glitters of the cool blue sea,
Keeping me cool and calm,
As I hear the roar 
of the crashing waves


I miss you madly,
Can't you see,
Our eyes met across the dance floor,
Sur le toit de La Marsa,
C'est très belle sur le toit ce soir,
Très bien ensemble avec toi 


Dance with me he said,
A warm hug and sweet whispers 
of love I give to you,
From the highway of my heart,


I embrace you tightly and whisper sweet nothings in your ear,
But the words are drowned out
In the disco beat all around us


Dawn broke as you awoke from
Your midnight slumbers,
My heart is true,
Stay cool and calm


In your darkest hour,
I'll always be there for you,
Don't stray from the path of love,


The stars from the heavens above,
Shine for me and you,
Though we're many miles apart,


I hold the rose close to my heart,
A reflection of Paris on my mirror,
Reflecting past,present,future times,
You wear your heart on your sleeve,
It's so clear to see,
My dear sweet friend

Bonsoir chérie

Te a la menthe,
Avec pinones,
Por toi,
Un te a la menthe,
Por moi 


Ou est le soleil?
Ou est ton coeur,
Je suis ici,
Tu es très loin de ma vie,


Un jus de fraise,
Un jus de orange, 
Sur le plage ce soir,
Je danse avec toi,
Tous les jours de ma vie,


Je dis 'bonjour',
Tu dis 'au revoir'
Je dis 'bonsoir'
Tu dis 'bon nuit'


Je veux danser tous les jours,
Avec toi sur le toit de espace, 


Au revoir chérie,
A bientôt chérie 


Je t'aime beaucoup,
Tous les jours,
Tous les soirs


La vie sans toi,
C'est très triste,
Mieux avec toi,
Très bien ensemble ce soir
Te a la menthe avec toi

Blue October

Feeling blue,
Love's out of fashion,
As the leaves,
Fall from my balcony


It's not so cool,
To be in love,
In the city of love,
She's not here any more,
My true desire
Does not reside here 

The city of love,
Beckons to another lover,
Can't take the heartache 
Any longer,
Can't take the sorrow


Feeling blue,
As the leaves,
Fall at my door,
Sorrow as the tears,
Fall from my balcony


Stay true to yourself,
Walk away before it's too late,
Cherie Amor,Te Amo,
How I love you,
But my love was not to be,
For I was not meant for this world


On this night
You did what lovers do,
and cast yourself off,
from this beautiful world


Sorrow as the tears fall,
The ticking clock,
Watches the passing of time,
As yet another lover,
Falls away,


Never to be seen or heard of again,
For this is the month of October,
Sorrows,tears and heartache,
In blue October

Sleepless in La Marsa

Twisting and turning 
through the night,
Sleep did not come easy,
Dark are the shadows 
that fall tonight,


The moon shone brightly,
On my window sill,
Rustling of autumn leaves,
On the midnight breeze,
Moon beams upon my shutters 


The passion lies dormant,
Waiting to be stirred,
My passion lies deep inside,
Let a kiss awake you, 


From your deep golden slumbers,
One day your princess will come,
The dreams seemingly undone,
My fair haired girl,
Is waiting to be stirred,
From her deep slumbers


Waiting for an answer,
To arrive on the autumn breeze,
Scattered thoughts on my mind,
Twisting and turning,
Thought the night,
Sleep does not come easy,
As the sun rises on another day

Written by Patric O'Dowda Fawcett:01/10/2010

Sleepless while my star shines bright for you!



September Falls

A cool autumn day,
September's about to fall,
The leaves fall all around 
Unread poems lie scattered 
on the ground,
Love is all around,


Words of love in the four winds,
Scattered love blowing in the wind,
The starstruck lover no more,
This star that shines so bright,
Has gone away,
To the distant shores of Thailand,
Never to be seen again,


Cool and wet in the pouring rain,
Swept aside by monsoon rain,
My words of love trickle into the stormy night,
Yet another grey cloud upon my horizon,
I....love....you....I whispered across the airwaves,
But the words fell on an empty heart,
The words scorched by the burning sun,
The book of love turns to stone,


A rainbow of hope appears,
The blue bangle shines bright 
Its magic glowing just for you,
Keeping my lover cool and calm in
her darkest hour,


This is my song,
As the Autumn sun sets,
As September falls

A Crack in Time

A crack in time,
you slipped and fell,
your existance erased,
your memories cease to be,
now you're all alone again,
your companion left for another galaxy,
time is so cruel,
it does not recall you,
the recent love I had,
disappeared in the crack of time,
sadness in your eyes,
I cease to be,
the light reached out for her,
cast her cruelly aside,
gone forever,
just a small speck of stardust remains,
the lovers cease to be,
erased and forgotten for enternity,
in the crack of time,
a whisper of 'I love you'
echoes in the crack of time,
you may not always need me,
but I'll always be there for you,
just hold on to your memories,
don't let them fade away,
the lovers will surely return,
from the crack of time

Starry Night

Starry night ...starry night...,
how I yearn for you tonight,
on this cloudless sky,
the stars shine bright for you and me,
across your desert world,
gazing at the shining moon,
to make your dreams come true,
how I wish I could be with here you,
to make my dreams come true,
so when's there no hope in sight,
it's time to do the right thing,
and flee across the oasis of my mind,
and begin anew,
on this starry night if only I were with you,
starry ...starry ....night
how my heart yearns for you tonight

Summer Love

Summer love and the beat goes on,
Through the long night,
Through the heat of the day,
Those hazy days of summer gone,


And the crowd still dance,
To the hits of the sixties,
Twist and dance to a classic beat,


End of summer is here,
Deserted beaches all around,
My summer love has gone,
Far far away,
Across the Sahara Desert,


She's not here anymore,
Neither there or here,
One day she shall return,
Your love not yet spurned,


So embrace the one you love,
Don't wait too long,
The passion will go,
Your lover will disappear,


A kiss in the dark,
A kiss in the art gallery,
Colour my world tonight,
With songs and your sweet laughter,


A quick hug and a kiss on the lips,
Before your train departs,
But the beat goes on,
Until another summer's day,


The love beside me is no more,
Flown away on her secret mission,
Cool and calm is she,
A cool cat indeed,


For all we see,
Is not clear at all,
Days of summer gone,
My love gone to a distant land,
The beat goes on,
My summer of love

The Brown Eyed Girl

Stepping into the sea,
the brown-eyed girl stood
perfectly still in the clear blue sea,
as calm as the sea around her


She gazed at the cloudless sky,
oblivious to the people on the beach,
deep in her thoughts, 
contemplation on her mind


Calm and serene like the wind that 
blows along the shoreline,
her cap shielding her delicate face 
from the scorching rays of the sun,
whispers of her fair hair
fall against my face


Through her sunglasses she peered at the tanned man beside her,
her thoughts were hidden,
one day all would be revealed


Swirling mini sandstorms swirled around the couple
the sand swirled violently around the 
two people's faces
a cool sea breeze brushed lightly over the young girl's body 
so here we are face to face


Standing perfectly still
calm as the sea around her
nobody knows what she's thinking
but the brown-eyed girl


For a moment the sands of time 
stand quite still,
on the horizon the burning sun sets
casting an orange glow upon the sea


So here we are perfectly at ease
as still as the dark night,
gazing at the sea and 
the sky up and beyond,
on a starry moon-lit night,
hand in hand along the shore


Nobody knows what she's thinking
but the brown-eyed girl
calm and serene like the wind that 
blows along the shoreline


The sun sets for another day,
so it's goodnight 
from my brown-eyed girl.


Blowing me a goodbye kiss,
such a light touch as

she brushes against me,

blowing me her goodbye kiss

that's the brown-eyed girl's adieu.

Wednesday the 11th August 2010,

with Jessica.

Moon Over La Marsa

Moon over La Marsa,
fishing boats go across the midnight water,
moonlight beyond the sea,
yet it's clear to see,
the swimmers all at sea,
cooling off in the summer breeze,
it's the summer of love,
the birds from above,
fly your way,
across the evening sky,
be still my beating heart,
my friend we're not too far apart,
moon over La Marsa,
shining its light below,
the calm waves upon the shore of my mind,
a wind of change is about to come,
from the starry heavens above,
the fishing boats across the stormy waters,
it's just another night,
across the Tunisian skies
another moon over La Marsa.

Carnival

A gentle touch as she brushes by,
just the lightest of touches as she holds me,
her love is clear to see,
on this summer's day,
the crowd sway and swing,
to the Samba beat,
let the carnival begin,
you're near me,
but you're so far away,
I dance to the Calypso beat,
you dance to a different beat,
let's dance to the same beat,
you're next to me,
not so far away,
let the street party begin,
summer celebrations until the midnight hour,
dance with me,
let the carnival begin.

Drifting

Drifting out to sea,
just the rocks between you and me,
I sing my song to you,
the chords crash upon the shore,
you hear my voice,
but the words fall upon the silky sands,
crystal clear,but the words still submerge beneath the waves,
alas my dear sweet friend,
tis a tale of woe,
I tell you,
for this man drifted forever more,
drifting,drifting,drif,dr......

Hands across the Horizon

Hands across the horizon,
hands across the sea,
I step over the pale blue sky,
into your world,
it's so clear to see,
two people on life's journey,
when you're here with me,
so come across the deep sea,
explore the wonders of the universe with me,
join me on my journey,
across the stars,
the Milky Way and beyond,
the door that leads to your heart,
is just across the horizon,
for you are my companion,
through time and space,
on this starry night,
catch me while you can,
before I fade away,
disappearing way yonder from planet Earth,
so hold out your hand to me,
hands across that lonely sky.

Melody in your Voice

I can hear the melody in your voice,
the stars shone brightly upon your fair hair,
you stood there dressed in blue,
against the pale moon,
standing on the balcony of love,
you wear the flowers so well,
lie back in the arms of someone you love,
how good it is to be with the one you love,
you next to me,hold me close forever,
lie back in the arms of someone you love,
your sweet words upon your lips,
caress me with your loving smile,
until sunset and beyond,
hold me close,hold me near your heart,
I see the love in your eyes,
so be with the one you love.

Jessica on the Balcony

Star Gazing

Star gazing tonight,
thoughts of you race across the sky,
meteor storm for all to see,
heart beating fast,
in your constellation tonight,
trails of stardust fall gently across your face,
I hear your gentle breathing beside me,
star gazing,you and me,
across the dark sky,
heart beats out of step,
stardust comes your way,
star gazers out tonight,
by the full moon's silvery light,
catch your falling star,
before it fades away,
star gazing tonight.

Star Struck

Star Struck,
here I sit,
on golden sands,
bewitched by the moonlit sky,
sat upon the Earth's shore,
gazing at the crashing waves,
just me,myself and I.
