Today Tomorrow - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

Sunlight in your hair 
Sunlight in your eyes 
Sunlight on your skin 
Sunlight within 
Beauty in the way 
You comb your hair 
In the morning 

Beauty you deserve 
Beauty that you earned 
Beauty never left you did it 
Beauty will never leave you will it 
Beauty will never leave without you 

Moonlight in your eyes 
In the evening light 
Moonlight in your hand 
In the palm of your hand 
Beauty in the way you read 
Your book in the evening 

Music in your voice 
Music in your soul 
Music through your window  
Music through your doorway lately 
Music in your footsteps maybe 

I love you too much 
You love me too much maybe 

Beauty in the light 
And in the summer night 
Beauty in your stance 
Beauty in a glance 
Beauty in the way 
Your shoulder lay 
In the morning 

We'll make it today tomorrow 
We'll make it today tomorrow 
We'll make it right in your place 
We'll make it right in my place 
We'll make it right in your place 

I love you so much 
You love me too much maybe 
I love you too much 
You love me too much maybe

Imagination - Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

Blue sky
Rivers running by
You, and me
So close in what we see

Is my head in the clouds
Are my feet off the ground
Life is good life is sweet
Here for a moment then it's complete

Walking up the muddy pathway
Through the hedges you show me
Your favourite tree

I see the hills I see the dales
Autumn leaves in the sun
This is a wonderful place
This is a wonderful time

Planning a picnic in the summer
By the river
In the meadow
In the sun

I hear the lark in the sky
I see the deer I hear the owl
Canadian geese flying in
We wonder where the eagle has been

You and me
So close in what we see

Is this Heaven around us
Is it Hell just inside us
Is my imagination leading me
To create the world or is it real

I'm not sure
I don't know
Who can tell

Don't Cry - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

Don't cry 
By the windowsill 
Don't cry 

When I think of tears in your eyes 
My heart breaks down inside 
The most beautiful one in my world 
Beautiful but not free 

And all your love inside 
Love is in your eye 

With the books by your bed 
On lonely sleepless nights 
Or in the garden that we made 
And in the songs that you play 
Or on the walk home through the trees alone 

Don't cry 
Don't cry 
Don't cry

Sphinx City - Click here_ to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

I'll choose my own time 
I'll work until I die 
With your love in my head 
With your love in my bed 
I'll hold you in the dark 
Like a flame 

Think I'll pack my bags 
And come your way 
This town's got no charms for me anymore 
And in my own special way 
I have changed what I see 
I'm free 

Your window is open 
Your doorway is not closed 
Lean out of your window 
Bare your soul 
Tonight 

Think I'll pack my bags 
And come your way 
This town's got no secrets 
To give away 
It's a sphinx with no secret 
Like a beauty 
With nothing to say

And If - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

I wish upon a star
I hope we find the way
Don’t want to walk away alone again

My heart is in your hand
I hope you’ll understand
When the darkest colours are mine

And if I was to walk alone
Would I find my way home
And if I was to live alone again
What are the chances of coming through

I wish my love was strong
I wish the doubts were gone
I wish the dark days away
And I know now what love is
And I know now what love is

I wish upon a star
I hope we’ll both go far
You are the love of my life

And if I was to run away
How could I live that way
And forget what your love is
And forget what your love is

Looking Back - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

Sunlight in the morning
Shadows by the doorway
She's gone

She's writing songs 
To make your brown eyes blue
Your brown eyes blue

Sunlight on the water
No one by the seashore
She's gone

She's writing songs
Writing words
About what happened
When love went wrong

Looking back
With tears in her eyes

And no one knows
Where she goes
When love went wrong

Moonlight on the water
But no kisses in the evening
She's gone
Her beauty is gone

She's writing words
Thinking things
She will never
Forgive him

She's writing songs
To make your brown eyes blue
Your brown eyes blue
Your brown eyes blue

'Shoegaze People' - Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison - From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

When I was lying in my bed
Shoegaze people in my head
I was lost in the sun
I was blacker than blue
Didn't know what to do 
Didn't know what to say
I was lonely today
Lonely today

In this old town I held your hand
In cobbled streets I let you down
Right across the Milky Way
Who am I anyway

Didn't know what to feel
Didn't know what was real
I was crazy today
Crazy today

Let's be joyful let's have fun
The answer will surely come
Right across the USA
Who are we anyway

You don't know if you don't try
You don't try if you don't know
All you see is your self
There's no one else

River Of Time - Click here to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

RIVER OF TIME :

For all we know
This could be the last year
Of our lives
Or the world that we know

A beautiful life
Created today
A gifted mind 
Just slipped way

Don’t want to waste time
Running about
When existence is sublime

Time to reply
To questions why
Do you want to live forever
Don’t you want to say goodbye

River of time
Rushing by
To the other side

Winds of change
Are blowing through this land
What we knew hangs in doubt
Things seemed brighter
In the olden days
When we were young and lighthearted
Young - and brave hearted
Way back then across the riverside

Time to reply
With questions why
Do you want to live forever
Don’t you want to say goodbye

Here’s my reply
The truth not the lie
Do you want to live forever
Don’t you want to say goodbye

River of time
Rushing by
To the other side
Got to go soon
River of time
Got to go soon
Don’t let go

Nobody There - Click here_ to listen to the song

Lyrics and tune by Stephen Harrison. From the album 'Today Tomorrow'

What do you know 
About me 
What do you see 
With me 
Do you know when I'm cold 
Do you know when I'm alone 

What would I be 
Without you 
What would it mean 
Without your love 
And tears would never dry 
When I found there's no one there 
And in the dark - I'd feel afraid 
And in the light - I'd feel ashamed 

What would I hear 
Without your voice 
What would I feel 
Without your touch 
And tomorrow 
Sorrow 
I'd never 
Again 

Nobody home, in the world 
There'd be nobody there 
In the crowd 
In the crowd
