The Colour Of Black Is Black - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'The Colour Of Black Is Black'

When all around is cold
And all around is closed
And everything turns to grey
And smoke fills the city
And all that I know runs away
And the colour of black is black

And somedays we get nowhere

When all the world is cold
And all along is closed
Memories fill the day
And the city is full of pain
I know my sorrow is back
The ivy has grown too much

Was it something that I said
Something that you read
Words are never best
Words are sometimes blunt

The world turns square these days
My sorrow will come undone
One day
We'll get somewhere
And somedays
We get nowhere

MY SONG

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison - From the album 'The Colour Of Black Is Black'

Click here to listen the the song 


I'll write my song
All by myself
For you - for you

Our time will come
We'll ride into the sun
All through my life
I only trusted myself 
Until I found you
Until I found you

All through my days
I only looked away 
Until I saw you
Until I found you

Some days are good.
Some days I'll fly my kite into the light
That shines inside our lives
Now I've got you
Now I found you

Please take my hand
We'll walk across the land
Please understand
I'm in love with you​

SOMEWHERE HIGH

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison - From the album 'The Colour Of Black Is Black'

Click here to listen the the song 

Dance with me - all night long
Won't you stay with me - all night long
Fly away with me - into the night 
Fly away with me somewhere high

Live with me
All my life 
Won't you stay with me 
It'll be alright

We will find our way
Out of here
There are many ways 
From the Fear

Dance with me
All night long
Won't you stay with me
It'll be alright 
Fly away with me - into the sun
Fly away with me -into the sun
Fly away with me - somewhere high​

I saw my brother lying
A million miles away
I saw my brother crying
He said he didn't  know the way

He said he didn't  know the way
He said he didn't know the way
He said he didn't know the way

We don't know the way
You don't know the way
You don't know the way
You  
The way
The way
The way

UNDISCOVERED AND ALIEN

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison - From the album 'The Colour Of Black Is Black'

Click here​ to listen the the song 

When I look out of my window
No one can see me
I must have died and gone to heaven
On the day that you kissed me
So glad I found you
I want to surround you

You've been hurt babe
But not by me no
I think you're amazing
Undiscovered and alien

I know that I love you
I know that I need you

Monday to Friday
Thinking about you
Saturday and Sunday
Travelling to you

When I look out of my window
No one can free me
When I look out of your window
Everyone can see me

So glad I found you
Water surrounds you

You've been hurt babe
For a long time
It's getting late now
Hold out your hand now

So glad I found you
I want to surround you
I must have died and gone to heaven
It is the only explanation

I've never ever known a love like this 
I've never ever known a life like this

You never ever hesitate
With the e the love that you give me

I must have died and gone to heaven
It is the only explanation
I've never ever known a love like this
It is the only explanation
I've never ever known a life like this.

WILDERNESS YEARS

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison - From the album 'The Colour Of Black Is Black'

Click here to listen the the song

After the years 
The wilderness years
I feel happy
Happy in you love
The Angels came
And blew the blues away
We are together
Soul mates in the sun

Put the music on 
We'll dance the night away
I will kiss you wildly
As if it's the end of the world

It's a heatwave
The shadows
I don't know them any more

In the sunlight
Dark places
I don't go there any more

I'll kiss you madly
And hold you closer to me
I will miss you madly
As if it's the end of the world

After the years
The wilderness years
We are together
Dancing with electric shoes
The Angels came
And blew the blues away
We are together
Soul mates in the sun

Put the records on
We'll dance the night away
I will kiss you wildly
As if it's the end of the world

When Darkness Comes - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison - From the album 'The Colour Of Black Is Black'

Sparkle in the sun
Lonelier than anyone
Angel come to me
And rescue me
When darkness falls

Weaker than the truth
Uncertain of my roots
Scattered like the leaves
Riskier than the sea

That's all that's real
That's all I see

Traitors at the gates
Enemies in debate
Are stronger than your best friend
Could ever be

That's how it seems

Sparkle in the sun
Lonelier than any one
Please be mine tonight
When darkness falls
When the darkness comes
