A new song.
ANGELS
I walked up to
An open door
That I had seen
Some time before
I disappeared
Without a trace
And found myself
Another place.

Time Stands Still
Another new song.
TIME STANDS STILL
Now the world is blue and grey
Darkness on a sunny day
Would not take me by surprise
You and I will soon be found
Somewhere on the higher ground
With my reflection in your eyes
Is it memory?
Is it fantasy?
I see you and me
On the hill
Time stands still

The Wolf
A new song by me.
I thought I told you before
About keeping the wolf from the door
You know where it ends
All of his friends
Will want to come in and explore

All Souls’ Day
It was cold last night
No stars in sight
No moon to light the way
I thought that you
Might be lonely too
On the eve of All Souls’ Day
The storm had hurled
The teardrops in the world
Against some hearts of stone
I went to you
And told you to
Never cry alone

Make Time Good
A new song.
MAKE TIME GOOD
I know you’ve done the best you could
I know you have a hill to climb
We just need to make time good
We don’t need to make good time
I don’t have any place to go
There’s nothing heavy on my mind
I’m prepared to take it slow
You never know what we might find

Words
A new song that I’ve written for a project I’m involved in.
WORDS
Words will flow
From below
To capture what we’re feeling
Peace will come
Out of some
Well of inner healing
Words of hate
Isolate
Words of love are gentle
When words are true
They join us to
Something fundamental
Words of love are real
Words of love can heal
Only words can say it all
You are part
Your soul and heart
Are crying for connection
I’m like you
I’m crying too
Please look in my direction
The holy ground
We lost is found
In steps we take together
Learning to
Enjoy the view
In rain or sunny weather
Words of love are real
Words of love can heal
Only words can say it all

Broken Wing
A song of mine …
Broken wing, broken wing
Sitting outside the window
Looking in
A bird still can sing with a broken wing.
The Mystery
A rough demo of a new song.
From over here I see you there
Sitting back in the big armchair
And what I’m feeling can’t be said
It stays inside my head
Words will not get me very far
They won’t take me to where you are
They fall like raindrops and flow away
Into yesterday

Open the Door
A rough demo of a song that I have just written.
I won’t be unkind
I will always speak my mind
I will not run, I will not hide
I won’t leave you behind
I will not be blind
What’s been lost I will find
You will see the best of me
When our minds are combined
The road to God knows where ... Brendan O'Brien
