  © 2026 You may think me dramatic saying Dracula’s romantic pursuing love across centuries with his haunted memories hunted by enemies his immortal love did not fade and he did not leave no, Dracula stayed Stories paint him to be beastly but he sounds kind of dreamy perhaps they were just jealous as he had something precious maybe his crimes were just a cover this brooding, star-crossed lover Tormented down through the Ages as Time sadly turned the pages such a heavy price he paid but he did not leave no, Dracula stayed Oh I want a love like that tall and dark and dressed in black power at his finger tips to launch a thousand battleships and obliterate all the dangers and cheeky strangers Immortal love that lasts forever a portal in time, a cloaked avenger a ruthless and devoted protector to whom I could fully surrender and dance with through the days heart and soul ablaze yes, I like the sound of him 'cos Dracula stays Haunted across the centuries pursued by his enemies his immor...

© 2026 Hey Baby Girl ain’t nobody coming to save you the storm is here do you even know where you’re running to you shouldn’t be out here alone in the forest on your own the wolf’s just beyond the tree it’s so easy to get lost when you’re not counting the cost cos you’re just so happy to be free Well I like the storm wind doesn’t tell me no lies the rain washes the wicked that the insane justify I’d rather keep on walking out here where mist hides the real than trapped in the warm inside where nobody feels and I’m not scared of the wolf we’ve walked together for years he only eats when he’s hungry and what he's earned Hey Baby Girl don’t you know there’s a whole new world coming why don’t you stay still and wait until the demons are finished hunting just look away don’t speak, don’t say the truth of what you are seeing close your eyes to the heart rending cries and turn away from the fleeing No thanks I won’t live with the sheep I can’t stay comfortably asleep I’d rather be out her...

When someone loves the pieces of you that play in the shadows, they love the whole of you. © 2026  Instead of running from my Demons You called them by name, and from the castle dungeon they fluttered out through the thorny maze I sit empty in the centre of the chaos content without control curious now that the borders have been breached and no longer strong enough to go back on patrol I simply lie back and watch these strange, fierce beings crowd around You I don't have the heart to lock them up again Somehow they must now play their role in the game cos if You love them I guess You love me and its time for us all to just be free I’ve just been carrying on for too long and so much of me got left on the road but if You love them I guess You love me maybe its safe for me to put down this load Yes if you love them, You must love me You called them by name, wings tattered, but glittering with the joy of being seen rebel flames Heart battered and whispering of broken dreams I’ve just ...

© 2026   I made this up. Mostly. Allegedly. And my taste in fictional men is not up for discussion 😉 I was out and about minding my own affairs when I saw you watching me from the top of the stairs you smiled just once and I knew that I was lost as you walked towards me I thought to hell with the cost oh I should have carried on minding my own affairs or disappeared in the crowd when I saw you coming down the stairs but you were like the candle flame and I had to come burn my wings and as we danced you held me close and told me a lot of precious things it was full moon that night made us both a little crazy and shine a little bright and before I knew it we were swimming in the sea with the big white moon laughing happily oh I should have carried on minding my own affairs I don’t know what was in the whiskey but I tripped down the stairs and God only knows when I last laughed so hard when you fell right over the dog in the yard the next week I saw you on TV you had been up to no g...

  © 2026 Somewhere in the purple past before the shading Spell was cast and horror split my mind in half is an echo of sunlight on water and now this memory’s come to light to lead me back out of night and break down the door to the sanity I fought so hard for I’m kicking down this Doll’s House from the inside out breaking all the chains and I'm going walkabout Oh yes, the devil is real and I’ve looked him in the eye watched him break and steal and heard all his pretty little lies I don’t know who I was dancing with back then or how I went spinning off track or when I just know there was sunlight inside and it all turned black and died I’m not even sure how to tell how far or long ago I fell now I’m just an Angel lost wandering through this hell I’m kicking down this Doll’s House from the inside out breaking all the chains and I'm going walkabout oh how long I waited to put on flesh again just to feel the soft summer rain and I would die a thousand times over to hear again the ...

  © 2026   I guess your Angel spoke to mine and said that we were out of time ‘cos you’re still so far and not getting any nearer I fear I may yet still drown a bewildered Queen whose lost her crown and headed back to Tinsel Town where the sky’s a little clearer If you’re listening somewhere out there under this cold winter moon do you think you are coming anytime soon? I'm bored with waiting and staying still the Moon is calling and I'm praying you will somehow appear before I disappear back down far underground to the Kingdom of Shadows where King Hades is waiting with my new crystal crown I dreamt a dream within a dream where I lay fast asleep while tumbling down through space and time and in this dream your angel came and called me by another name someone I had been once before another life on another shore and if by magic there appeared a door to a realm I had not been before And although I turned away saying I could not stay I was still yearning to go at the e...

  © 2026 There is a whisper on the wind that soothes me late at night when Despair holds my heart in its iron grip and I’ve drifted from the Light It sings to me of Avalon and green-golden summer days of cheery finches and apple trees and ripening of the hay Of mossy rocks and silver streams and swans floating on a Lake of Dreams and with this vision of peaceful bliss and loving calm and happiness is a song so pure of chords so true that twice I turn my head and search to see if the God is wandering with me in the forest too Each time I visit this Sacred Land of Silver birch and Beeches grand I leave a little more of my heart there entranced in dappled forest glades and when I awaken in this time and place a part of me remains dancing, with the twilight shades And though I sit here far away and there’s heartbreak stealing the sun from day for just a while my Heart stops its tears and lays to rest its doubts and fears and following the echo of a love before my dreamtime steps lead m...

Lyr ics  © 2020.  So ng © 2026 He spoke to the Broken in me languishing hopelessly at the bottom of a very deep, dark place for a very long time this shadow self of mine He awakened her an Underworld God fashioning a Doll for his Kingdom to serve his Vision She grew bolder this Shadow self of mine wanting more in space and time Her need thrilling through my veins longing to run into his flames and lose us in this secret Garden The Sunlight paled next to his blaze she stumbled through to reach Him the colors outside seemed so dull compared to the glowing crystals in Hell where He ruled ruthlessly His Doll grew stronger feasting on the freedom He fed her even as He bound her tight with His will whilst I faded listlessly going through the days until my awareness shifted inwards entranced by the Visions she shared with me, our Melodies blending together into a haunting Harmony that drifted wistfully through the Realms and as it faded away sinking into the Shadows I surrender...

Lyrics © 2022. Song © 2026 Ireland, 1998   💔  #PathsNotTaken  It's a perfect storm, my Love one that might break me my shadow inside the damsel denied somehow betrayed me and now hunger consumes me for a peace that eludes me and when I look in the mirror at night it's your eyes that I see I just want to cry and turn out the light but you’re still looking at me a perfect storm, my Love one that might claim me I’m on the sea clouds pouring on me these waves can just take me I was stuck in a ruin looking down at you not having seen you before you were speaking to the guy that I was with at the time and you both looked up at me when I called it's a perfect storm, my Love maybe one that could make me if I could find all the pieces I thought lost forever maybe I could glue myself somehow back together later that day we walked and we talked alongside a pretty golden river and I knew I had found a Heart that wanted to be mine if I let you, you would love me forever it'...

Lyrics © 2020 Song © 2026 And again I sought shelter in the Dark Realms that place within and far down where He said he would create a safe space deep underground I named it our Secret Garden where I could lie and watch the skies darken Oh I should have seen the danger of addiction to this mayhem the eyes of the stranger in the mirror made no prediction of the craving that would arise from just the short, sweet, taste of freedom teasing me awake in the early morning burning in my dreamtime warning where I wandered unhappily seeking my mind running rings around itself until at last exhausted I collapsed at his feet where I was rewarded with a fleeting kind of peace but nothing could tame the tempests raging through my psyche fighting to take me home to him outraged I battled them blindly furious at needing to lose myself in him utterly despairing at the dark pit of Chaos which every fibre of my being yearned to hurl myself into and be finally done with this shattering of self like a mi...

Lyrics © 2020 Song © 2026 I was calling You when I lay sleepless at Night my mind seeking One that was stronger to quiet the Chaos and bring the Light I was needing You even as I painted pretty pictures of peace this longing did not cease it grew deeper and darker twisting further inside I was feeding You my Soul seeking Yours out of time or space lightening striking the ground far below deep in the Underworld where shadows grow You said you saw the tears in my need and with those words the seeds of my undoing were sown seeing straight through the mask shown to the broken doll lost inside In a moment of cheek that left me breathless and weak I named you Satan and so you said you would burn me But could you not feel me blazing since you first lifted your hand to my cheek? Still, I stayed and so you played with the shadows in my mind breaking me down a little more each time until I existed only as your wish twisted Your heartbeat steady in my ear drawing me into you to a point far past ...

© 2026  It's 3am and I can't sleep a wistful tear is resting on my cheek and there's a burning space where you should be lying next to me it occurred to me perhaps I forgot to say I would save that place just in case you ever found your way to loving me So perhaps you didn't know cos I have never told you so there's a spot I kept aside just for you and through Grace my walls blown open wide as I had to learn to trust too I've been quietly watching you don't think I've ever met someone quite so true there's a straight up honesty in everything you do and although you have a brilliant mind you're strong enough to be kind you have a hidden gentle side to you Maybe you didn't know cos I have never told you so I have saved a place just in case you ever found your way to loving me So go if you must - explore your free but when it's home-time come back to me come back to me.

© 2026  In another Life 💗 I woke up and you were gone just an empty coffee cup and the light left on and although I had no business feeling so sad a strange emptiness filled the happy space I had oh I should have caught it earlier building castles in the sand there’s always been a danger getting lost in no-man’s land but I was having fun being the Queen and I had crowned you King inside my head it wasn’t hurting no one and kept the nightmares out my bed or maybe I should view it you're like the sun in the sky just being there keeps me level and lights my way up where I fly and if I'm going to be precise at some place we have no form we're just Chaos writing lightening in the place where dreams are born so you be the Sun I'll be the Moon in a silver studded sky through all the galaxies in between you light my way up where I fly I am Queen and crowned you King in the realms I go to play and your quiet mountain strength helps me find my way so you be the Sun and I’ll be ...

© 2026 There’s this dog that comes on Monday mornings to the bins picking through the rubbish and the throwaway things His name is Buddy I take him food to the gate while I stand and watch him eat I think how cruel is fate He broke my heart this morning he tried to follow me home I thought of all the hungry ones cold out there alone I wanted to tell him he had done nothing wrong but he’s not mine, I couldn’t take him so I wrote him this song Oh Buddy it’s a cruel world like a lottery you lose or win and some get warm beds and food but you’re out there cold and thin I love how you wag your tail at me with your big brown eyes so hopefully I wish I had a farm - you’d have a home Oh Buddy I would never leave you alone I want the Angels to bring Grace to Earth for you to know neither hunger nor pain but it seems the devil runs the show down here and you’re a shining light on a chain Oh Buddy its a sad world but you've done nothing wrong I wish you could come home with me to a safe plac...

© 2026 I was in my twenties you were in your prime flying high by the deep blue sea It was a sad time but you were looking like a King to me If only I'd known back then what this feeling meant I was lost and you were heaven sent Wish I could go back in time to waste us was a crime but it’s too late now, Baby find me sooner next time round I’m sitting on the road not sure what to do You’re so far away too far for me to run to I’m like the wind caught up in a storm you’re the fire blazing warm and although it just could not be you’re still looking like a King to me If only I'd known back then what this feeling meant I was so lost and you were heaven sent Wish I could go back in time to waste us was a crime I guess it’s too late now, Baby find me sooner next time round.

© 2026 I said yes please but then he lost the keys and I was left pondering my choice in guys and the tales that I had to spin about this ill-advised fling should have got me a Pulitzer prize oh what a web we weave when we seek to deceive and end up tangled in our own pretty little show but I had a trick up my sleeve and I had earned a reprieve I managed to get lose from this psycho Now I’m good but I’m bored could you please fix oh Lord or put me where I would love to be up in the Highlands where its wild and free and I’m not looking at the world behind bars and can run on the road not locked in cars because boredom in my head leads to bad and then mistakes cycle back to being sad oh what a web we weave when years ago I didn’t leave and now its my own little show on replay I just want to be free but I have to stay.

  New Year's Resolution - work/life balance 😎 © 2025  You miss another deadline and I say that it’s fine but deep down, just know that you’re on borrowed time and you have a special little place in this dark heart of mine My nights belong to music, not your programme I wander in dreamworlds, not in logframes In fact I must confess I’m not impressed by your indicators of success so if you say you’re gonna send it please just send it cos the way that it’s going I’m gonna end it Yes my nights belong to music I wander in dreamworlds and this dark heart of mine is protective of its time when it gets to dream so free in a place so far from me and I’m sad cos I cannot be Yes my nights belong to music and if I could only choose it I would stay up there somewhere.
