DO YOU MISS ME, CALIFORNIA? Been in lockdown, been in hiding Haven’t seen much, no denying  I remember what it felt like - Free But I wonder was I really ever Free And I wonder Do you miss me, California? Been in heaven Been in anguish Like a big shot Like a dead fish It depends on how the wind blows Free - And I wonder was I really ever  Free And I wonder Do you miss me, California? Send a loving word to me Just a loving word to me Sometime sometime Send a loving word to me Sing it like a bird to me Sometime Free... And I wonder was I really ever  Free And I wonder Do you miss me, California? When I took off you were burning  You’re okay now but I worry Loads of rain here I could send you But I don’t think it would mend you Been in lockdown in the quiet There is peace here, don’t you fight it There is peace here, don’t deny it There is peace here, may you find it Do you miss me, California?

A NEW SEA OF FACES The temperature blazes as October raises The promise of winter ahead A man asks for change though it won’t cure his pain We will see what two dollars can do I sit underneath a breeze Alone amidst a new sea of faces How long will I long if my longing should leave I would long for my longing again The young girls are waiting for love’s soft invasion Afraid that to win it they must lose Like all men they’re facing the risk of embracing A thief for the shininess of his shoes I freeze underneath the fear Of swimming in a new sea of faces How long will I long if my longing should leave I would long for my longing again Oh, how lovely I know she must be But I can’t seem to follow my love Though how lovely I know she must be No, I can’t seem to follow my love As I float underneath a bridge out into a new sea of faces How long will I long if my longing should leave I would long for my longing again All Rights Reserved Mark Phillip Davis

Little Sun 04:48
LITTLE SUN So here we are little one Your time is now just begun We’re meant to shine everyone So set your heights for the sun It’s nothing new It’s there in you So let it through little one, your little sun So where' you been little one? Don’t matter now that you’ve come The chill and dark now is gone It don’t take much just a little sun It’s nothing new It’s there in you So let it through little one It’s nothing much Yet quite enough We all are just little suns, little sun So who are you little one? It’s up to you - but have some fun The time is now and how it runs So turn it on you little sun It’s nothing new It’s really you So let it through little sun It’s there within Right through the skin You’re such a bright little one It’s nothing much Yet quite enough We all are just little suns, little sun So turn it on little sun All Rights Reserved Mark Phillip Davis

ROCKS OF GLENDALOUGH Giant rocks of Glendalough Giant love within Do you recognize yourself? Water flows around them all Into lovely pools Do you recognize the song? If you can't see love in all You can't see love at all If you can't see love in all Who’s the monster barging in Across the borderline? You don't recognize yourself The delicious need to win's Calling all the time Do you recognize the cost? If you can't see love in all You can't see love at all If you can't see love in all Giant rocks of Glendalough Giant love within Can you see it tumbling down? If you can't see love in all You can't see love at all Do you recognize yourself Across the borderline? If you can't see love in all You can't see love at all Giant rocks of Glendalough Giant love within If you can't see love in all You can't see love at all ... see love in all ... see love in all All Rights Reserved Mark Phillip Davis

NEW ROADS OLD BIKES Here it comes the slowly creeping dawn Time stands still and all the earth is one Stones and starlings skip on sea in sun Time stands still and all our dreams are won Alive, Alive Here it comes the sunrise shooting in Melts away the questioning within All that’s here are new roads and old bikes You can ride beside me all you like Alive, Alive There’s no hurry There’s no question This is merely you and I There's no worry For redemption This is merely you and I Alive Here it comes the slowly sinking sun Time stands still yet soon the day is gone There’s still miles and miles in this old bike You can ride beside me all you You can ride beside me all you You can ride beside me all you like Alive, Alive All Rights Reserved Mark Phillip Davis

Now 03:33
NOW Please don't ask me what will be tomorrow Let's not fill the empty space with sorrow I'm in love with you now I'm in love with you now I can't say girl where the wind will blow us Carpet ride or blown out from below us I'm in love with you now I'm in love with you now Don't question love when it's right here before you Don't question me can't you see I am for you? But I can't say girl what will be tomorrow Please don't fill the empty space with sorrow... I'm in love with you now I'm in love with you now All Rights Reserved Mark Phillip Davis

I Swear 03:45
I SWEAR Though winter's on its way You'll kiss the sky again Hang on, hang on The fear is always new Though many we've been through Hang on, hang on I swear I swear I hear it calling The sound of summer new In each flake falling I swear When you try but cannot run The dream is almost done Hang on, hang on I'm right here by your side I'm gonna send some help inside Hang on I swear I can't stand your shaking Those mighty waves that swell inside of you They will not break you I swear And when you fall once more Perhaps this time you'll wind up in the place You're looking for I swear I swear The answer is coming When I can bottle it you will drink your fill on me I swear But this is where we stand You're gonna lose your peace again Hang on Hey... Your feet are on the ground Your feet are on the ground All Rights Reserved Mark Phillip Davis

OVER THE HILL Trying to make it over the hill Crossing myself and crossing the fields Never got closer, gave up the will What was I seeking over the hill? Some kind of magic, heaven revealed What would it look like? How would it feel? Look at that big storm over the hill Maybe it won't come, probably it will I'm staying right here loving you still Look at that big moon over the hill Gathering sunbeams, riding the wheel I wanna kiss you, probably I will Some kind of magic, heaven revealed How you came flying over the hill How you came flying... How you came flying... How you are right here I'm staying right here all rights reserved Mark Phillip Davis

Room By Room 05:05
ROOM BY ROOM Room by room we keep a fire With all our love we keep it bright The darkened state it is a lie There is a way to end the night Some rooms have just forgotten grace And some will turn with your embrace You see and feed the inner fire There is a way to end the night Room by room Room by room Hold on to me when you forget When darkened states get in your head Hold on to me your inner fire There is a way to end the night The darkened state it is a lie Room by room... Room by room we'll build a fire Room by room we'll keep it bright See and feed the inner fire With all our love With all our love We'll keep it bright Keep it bright Room by room All rights reserved Mark Phillip Davis

EVERYBODY NEEDS A PLACE TO GO Family in a forest Hotel in a star Sign above a doorstep "We love who you are" Everybody needs a place to go Everybody needs a place to go Well of living water Life inside a stone Friends at every threshold We are not alone Everybody needs a place to go Everybody needs a place to go Everybody needs a place to go It's only soul coming home Sometimes it's the sunshine Sometimes it's too bright Sometimes telling secrets Needs the warmth of night Everybody needs a place to go Everybody needs a place to go Everybody needs a place to go It's only soul coming home Family in a forest Hotel in a star Travel where you need to We love who you are Travel where you need to... We love who you are All rights reserved Mark Phillip Davis
