Gillespie

(Verse 1)
September sun turns the window gold
That old beech stands, stubborn and bold
It reminds me of a life I knew
Before I ever leaned on you.

(Verse 2)
I was on my hill, you were on yours
Locked behind two separate doors
Then a quiet word, a whispered breeze
Came rustling through my lonely leaves.

(Chorus)
Oh, our roots found their way down deep
Through promises we swore to keep
And where we touched, the bark grew strong
Right here is where we both belong
We’re not two trees against the storm
We’re one tree now, keeping us warm.

(Bridge)
I don’t know where you begin
Or where the soul of me fits in
It’s all one shadow that we cast
A love that’s built to last.

(Chorus)
Oh, our roots found their way down deep
Through promises we swore to keep
And where we touched, the bark grew strong
Right here is where we both belong
We’re not two trees against the storm
We’re one tree now, keeping us warm.

(Verse 1)
The clock strikes shy of noon,
September sun in bloom.
Bus engine hums beneath the sky,
You’re by the chemist’s shop — won’t meet my eye.
Tracing cracks in the paving stones,
Anything but turning home.

(Verse 2)
They cast us in their roles —
You, the rose with polished soles.
Me, the quiet girl in grey,
Different masks, same play.
But we found truth in whispered tones,
Behind the walls, beneath the drones.

(Pre-Chorus)
The driver stubs his cigarette,
The signal’s flashing — not just yet.
I breathe you in, I hold my nerve,
This love’s the only thing I serve.

(Chorus)
Goodbye to twitching curtains, lanes of stone and shame,
The only truth I’ve ever known is shouting through this rain.
I’m not escaping from a town, I’m breaking through with you,
The diesel fumes smell just like hope — and every word is true.

(Bridge)
The road ahead’s a story yet to write,
A terrifying, blinding light —
But you step first, and then I do,
And suddenly, it’s me and you.

Verse 1
In the garden under starlight,
By the window late at night,
In the forest where the squirrels play,
Love is never far away.

Chorus
That’s where lovers meet, oh yeah,
Hearts are racing on a secret street.
Anywhere the night is sweet,
That’s where lovers, lovers meet.

Verse 2
By the oak tree in the meadow,
At the chapel’s ancient door,
On the rooftops high and hidden,
They come back for more.

Chorus
That’s where lovers meet, oh yeah,
Hearts are racing on a secret street.
Anywhere the night is sweet,
That’s where lovers, lovers meet.

Bridge
In the dark, in the light,
Every heart takes flight,
Doesn’t matter where they go,
Love will always grow!

Final Chorus (repeat/fade)
That’s where lovers meet, oh yeah,
Hearts are racing on a secret street.
Anywhere the night is sweet,
That’s where lovers, lovers meet…

Whispers rising on the midnight breeze,
Dancing shapes underneath the trees,
Moonlight shining, secrets on the creep,
Tell me, tell me —is this where witches meet?

Chorus
Where do witches meet? (Clap-clap!)
On the heath or the street?
By the oak at midnight,
When the stars burn bright — oh!
Where do witches meet?

Verse 2
Lanterns glowing in the stark,
Voices singing with a magic spark,
Drums are beating to a tambourine beat,
Tell me, tell me — is this where witches meet?

Chorus
Where do witches meet? (Clap-clap!)
In the night’s heartbeat?
By the fire they gather,
Casting spells together — oh!
Where do witches meet?

Bridge
Ooooh, the night is calling,
Ooooh, the cauldron’s heat,
If you believe in magic,
You’ll find where witches meet!

Final Chorus (repeat & fade)
Where do witches meet? (Clap-clap!)
Where do witches meet?

Verse 1
I pulled a weight from the water,
old eyes staring back at me,
scales worn thin like weathered pages,
a story carved deep in the sea.

Chorus
Scars don’t break you, they keep you alive,
every mark says you fought to survive.
I could claim you, but I know —
sometimes the greatest love is letting go.

Verse 2
Hooks of battles long forgotten,
rusting trophies in your skin,
you’ve carried time like heavy anchors,
yet here you are, still swimming in.

Chorus
Scars don’t break you, they keep you alive,
every mark says you fought to survive.
I could claim you, but I know —
sometimes the greatest love is letting go.

Bridge
I saw myself in that weathered frame,
every struggle, every flame.
And with a hand that could’ve held you fast,
I gave you freedom at last.

Chorus
Scars don’t break you, they keep you alive,
every mark says you fought to survive.
I could claim you, but I know —
sometimes the greatest love is letting go.

I throw
Lines in the water,
then nothing but the tide.

Verse 1
Woke up draggin’, shoes still dreamin’,
Sunlight peekin’, curtains schemin’.
Heartbeat slow, but I know the trick —
Pour me that magic, pour it quick.

Chorus
Give me that caffeine fix,
Make it hot, no watered-down mix.
Hello, coffee — my sweet salvation,
You light my fuse, my inspiration.

Verse 2
Midnight roast or a mornin’ brew,
Any cup’ll do, long as it’s true.
Steam’s risin’ like a sweet romance,
One sip and I’m ready to dance.

Chorus
Give me that caffeine fix,
Make it strong, none of those decaf tricks.
Oh, coffee baby, you’re my temptation,
You start my day, my jubilation.

Bridge (with a walking bass and brushed snare)
It’s more than a drink, it’s a velvet spark,
Turns grey skies gold, puts a swing in the dark.
When my blues start hummin’, you break that spell,
With every pour, you treat me well.

Verse 3
Espresso, latte, café au lait,
Mocha kisses to chase night away.
From Paris to Harlem, the truth’s the same —
Life’s just a grind ’til coffee’s in the game.

Verse 1
I’ve been walkin’ through shadows, feelin’ the cold,
Carryin’ stories that never get told.
Dreams in my pocket, worn thin on the run,
Waitin’ for someday… someday in the sun.

Verse 2
These streets are grey, they whisper my name,
Each day’s a hand in the very same game.
Still, there’s a light that I see when I’m done,
I’m holdin’ to someday… someday in the sun.

(Bridge)
And I know… nights can keep you blind,
But that glow… it’s still in my mind.
When the dawn paints the sky in gold,
That’s the day my heart’s been told.

Verse 3
So I’ll follow the tide where the warm winds run,
Lay down my burdens and loosen the gun.
Till then I’ll keep hummin’ this song I’ve begun,
Waitin’ for someday… someday in the sun.

Verse 1 — Pilgrim
I’ve walked through deserts, crossed the rain,
Lookin’ for answers to ease this pain.
Tell me, wise one, how can it be,
That children go hungry by the deep blue sea?

Chorus — Both
Bread should be broken, not taken away,
Light should be lifted to guide our way.
But hearts can grow colder than a winter night,
We must be the bread, we must be the light.

Verse 2 — Guru
In the game of kingdoms, the weak are pawns,
Their cries are the wind that the war rolls on.
Those who seek power will close their ears,
And feed on the silence of another’s tears.

Chorus — Both
Bread should be broken, not taken away,
Light should be lifted to guide our way.
But hearts can grow colder than a winter night,
We must be the bread, we must be the light.

Bridge — Pilgrim / Guru
(Pilgrim) Then what can one traveller do alone?
The road is long, and my hands are stone.
(Guru) Give where you stand, lift what you can,
Even the smallest seed will feed the land.

Final Chorus — Both
Bread should be broken, not taken away,
Light should be lifted to guide our way.
If we carry the warmth through the darkest fight,
We can be the bread, we can be the light.
