Shades of Grey by Andrew Charman-Williams is a ballad with acoustic guitar and a string arrangement.

Lyrics

In a world of black and white,
Everything, from dark to light,
Every shade and every hue,
In your love, I found what’s true.

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Through the storms and sunny days,
In your arms, I’ll always stay,
Life’s a canvas, we’ll paint it bright,
Our love’s colours will ignite.

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Reds and blues, in love’s embrace,
With every shade, our hearts keep pace,
Through the darkness, into the day,
In your love, all fear will fade away.

In this world of black and white,
You and I, we’ll shine so bright,
Hand in hand, we’ll find our way,
In the shades of grey, we’ll always stay. 

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Shades of grey, in love we sway,
Lost in your eyes, come what may,
In this world of ours please stay
Shades of grey, never fade away.

Dead End Street is a reasonably uptempo soft rock song by Andrew Charman-Williams.

Lyrics

I’m walking down this empty road
A faded line, where dreams corrode
All the street lights have burned out
In this town where hope’s in doubt

It feels like I’ve been here for so long
Stuck in a place where I don’t belong
But I’ll keep pushing through the night
I’ll find a way to make it right

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

The shadows whisper tales of despair
Broken dreams and hearts laid bare
But I won’t let this street define
The path I walk, the things I’ll find

Feels like I’ve hit a dead-end sign,
But I won’t let my spirit decline,
Through the echoes of the city’s beat,
I’ll rise again, won’t face defeat.

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

In the whispers of the midnight air,
I’ll face my fears, I won’t despair,
On this road where hopes retreat,
I’ll carve a path, won’t face defeat.

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street
I’m on a dead-end street, a dead-end street
Get me off this dead-end street

With Arms Wide Open by Andrew Charman-Williams is a fairly laid back soft rock/pop song.

Lyrics

In the dark and lonely night
I find myself searching for a light
And though my heart is heavy with regret 
I know that I’ll rise above it yet 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

I’ve been wandering through the storm 
With nothing but a broken heart
But I’ll keep on moving forward
Till I find a brand new start 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

And I’ll keep on climbing 
Higher and higher
Till I reach the top
And see my heart’s desire 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

I will run to you
With arms wide open 
And I will chase the blues 
Until my heart is broken 

And when the night is over
And the storm has passed
I’ll look up to the heavens
And know that I’ve found my way at last. 

On the Drive Home is a song by Andrew Charman-Williams. It is a reasonably uptempo rock/pop song with a slight country rock feel.

Lyrics

I’m leaving work, the sun is setting low
Traffic’s heavy, but my mind is free to roam
I turn the music up, and let my thoughts take flight 
On the drive home, everything feels just right

I’m leaving the city, leaving the stress behind 
On the drive home, I finally feel alive 

On the drive home, everything feels right 
All my worries, they fade into the night
On the drive home, I finally feel free 
To be myself, to just be me 

I’m driving past the fields and the old farm land 
The sky is orange and the clouds are shifting sand 
I take a deep breath, and let my senses take in
On the drive home, it’s like a new beginning 

I’m leaving the city, leaving the stress behind 
On the drive home, I finally feel alive 

On the drive home, everything feels right 
All my worries, they fade into the night 
On the drive home, I finally feel free 
To be myself, to just be me 

I’m heading home, to where my heart belongs 
I’m leaving behind the chaos and the throngs 
On the drive home, I’m at peace 
With the world, with myself, I am released 

I’m almost home, I can see the lights
I’m almost home, I can feel the love inside 
I pull in the driveway, and turn off the car 
On the drive home, I’ve traveled so far

I’m leaving the city, leaving the stress behind 
On the drive home, I finally feel alive 

On the drive home, everything feels right 
All my worries, they fade into the night
On the drive home, I finally feel free 
To be myself, to just be me 

On the drive home, everything feels right 
All my worries, they fade into the night 
On the drive home, I finally feel free 
To be myself, to just be me 

On the drive home, I’ve come to know 
All that I’ve been, and all that I’ll grow 
On the drive home, I finally see 
All that I am, and all that I’ll be. 
On the drive home

Mirror Mirror is a laid back, predominantly acoustic song with folk, rock and pop influences by Andrew Charman-Williams.

Lyrics

In the mirror’s gentle gaze I stand, 
Reflecting thoughts, a shifting land. 
Eyes that hold both joy and pain, 
A canvas where emotions reign.

Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
You hold my truth, you see it all. 
With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
mirror mirror don’t let me fall

Each line etched by fleeting years, 
Stories told, whispers of tears.
Smiles that dance like morning light, 
And furrowed brows in silent night.

Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
You hold my truth, you see it all. 
With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
mirror mirror don’t let me fall

Oh, mirror, show me who I’ve been, 
The battles fought, the growth within. 
Every scar every rise and fall 
reflect my spirit standing tall 

Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
You hold my truth, you see it all. 
With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
mirror mirror don’t let me fall

In the morning’s gentle light 
in the shadows of the night
reflect the beauty the pain I bear 
in your glass it’s all laid bare

Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
You hold my truth, you see it all. 
With flaws and strengths still standing tall 
mirror mirror don’t let me fall

Found my Peace is a laid-back song by Andrew Charman-Williams

Lyrics

Sitting on my porch, watching the world go by 
Feeling the sun on my skin, the wind in my eye 
Peace and contentment is all that I need

No worries, no stress, just pure serenity 

Cause I’ve found my peace, in the simple things 
In the quiet moments, my heart sings

No need for fame or fortune or greed

Just the beauty of life, that’s all I need

The sound of the birds, the rustle of leaves 
Nature’s symphony, it brings me to my knees 
In this peaceful place, I’m free to be me

No mask, no pretense, just authenticity 

Cause I’ve found my peace, in the simple things 
In the quiet moments, my heart sings

No need for fame or fortune or greed

Just the beauty of life, that’s all I need

I’m just letting go of what I can’t control

Just seeking peace and healing my soul

Cause I’ve found my peace, in the simple things 
In the quiet moments, my heart sings

No need for fame or fortune or greed
Just the beauty of life, that’s all I need 

Sitting on my porch, watching the world go by 
Feeling the sun on my skin, the wind in my eye 
Peace and contentment is all that I need

No worries, no stress, just pure serenity. 

Eternal Aching is a slow to medium tempo rock song by Andrew Charman-Williams

Lyrics

In the darkness of the night 
I hear your voice so clear 
Calling out my name
But you’re not here 

Oh, how I long for you
My love, my heart is breaking 
I’m lost without you
In this eternal aching 

I see you in my dreams
But when I wake, you’re gone 
I’m holding on to nothing
But the memory of you 

Oh, how I long for you
My love, my heart is breaking 
I’m lost without you
In this eternal aching 

I’ll wait for you forever
In this lonely place
I’ll keep your love inside me 
Until we meet again

Oh, how I long for you
My love, my heart is breaking
I’m lost without you
In this eternal aching 

Oh, how I long for you
My love, my heart is breaking
I’m lost without you
In this eternal aching 

In the darkness of the night 
I’ll hear your voice so clear
Calling out my name
But you’re not here
You’re not here
You’re not here
You’re not here

Fragile is a song by Andrew Charman-Williams.

Lyrics

 I’ve been through so much pain before
And now you come to give me even more
Oh yeah I can see it in your eyes
Don’t say a thing don’t tell me any lies

Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Handle me with care
Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Show me that you care

I’d always hoped that we would never part
But now you’re here to stab me in my heart
Are you so sure that there can be no way
For us to be as one for love to always stay

I’d try to smile but the pain gets in the way
I can’t help but it hurts so much today

Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Handle me with care
Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Show me that you care

I know that there will be more pain and sorrow
But for me there will be a tomorrow
I have taken oh so many knocks
Maybe you should stamp upon my box

Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Handle me with care
Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Show me that you care
Please don’t hurt me I’m fragile
Handle me with care
Fragile

Lyrics

I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
I didn’t want all the pain it’s put me through

Unspoken love
Though I’m sure you knew
Unrequited love
All I have with you 

My feelings for you are easier left unsaid
But it’s a battle between my heart and my head

Unspoken love
Though I’m sure you knew
Unrequited love
All I have with you 

I’m sure you know how I feel in my heart
But I’m glad it stays unsaid so we’re not pushed apart
Cause your friendship is so special to me
Wouldn’t want that wrecked for something that can never be

Unspoken love
Though I’m sure you knew
Unrequited love
All I have with you 

How I wish it could be another way
But it can’t so it will always stay

Unspoken love
Though I’m sure you knew
Unrequited love
All I have with you 
Unspoken love
Unrequited love
