Lyrics: Abandoned Home
quiet corner, shadows play, ivy creeps, memories lay, there’s a house, all alone, stories etched, every stone.
windows stare, longing gaze, distant echoes, bygone days, through doors ajar, the breeze, flows through the memories.
abandoned home, full of memories, whispers linger in the autumn breeze, floors that creak with the weight of years, yet in the silence, love still appears.
the fireplace emits no light, cold embers in the night, in its ashes, the stories remain, echoing laughter, echoing pain.
rooms a canvas, life’s design, faded colours of heart and mind, furniture draped, sheets of white, waiting for one last night.
abandoned home, full of memories, whispers linger in the autumn breeze, nature reclaims, with vines entwined, yet in the ruins, love you’ll find.
abandoned home, full of memories, whispers linger in the autumn breeze, guarding secrets, tales untold, in this home, now still and cold.
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
Love and Loss is a song written by Andrew Charman-Williams and produced by Spiral Net and features Hayden & Natalie from Synthesizer V on vocals.
Unlike most of my songs Love and Loss has two different versions with one as Spiral Net and the other as Andrew Charman-Williams. Here is the Andrew Charman-Williams version which predominantly uses real instruments and vocals rather than virtual or electronic.
Lyrics
I search for your face memories of you time cannot erase your laughter, touch, smile gone but with me all the while
love and loss such a cost hearts torn apart never fully lost
whispers call out your name never the same the fire that burned now ashes, lesson learned
love and loss such a cost hearts torn apart never fully lost
tears falling like rain drowning in pain the love we once knew gone but forever true
love and loss such a cost hearts torn apart never fully lost
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
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.
