TIME

(c) MJ Harte (IMRO) 2011

Stop chasing ghosts, you know you gotta move on, move on.

Stranger than most, you know you gotta be strong, be strong .

‘Cause your deep, ocean blue, try to understand you.

I spoke straight to your heart, now I’m left in the dark.

(Chorus)

All I need is time, just a little bit of time.

Just enough to find, find a way to make you shine.

All I need is time, just a little bit of time.

Just enough to find, find a way to make you mine.

Give love, give love, like you’ve never gave before.

Straight up, straight up you know I’ll give it back to you and more…

‘Cause your deep, ocean blue, try to come rescue you.

I spoke straight to your heart, now I’m left in the dark.

(Chorus)

All I need is time……x4

(Chorus final)

NOT WASTING ANOTHER DAY

(c) MJ Harte (IMRO) 2011

Don’t Know why I feel so high, but I do, yeah I do,

Don’t know what, it’s all I got , Yeah it’s true, yeah it’s true.

When the light falls on my face, I steal in it’s warm embrace

to get me out of this place I call lost..

Don’t know which way it turns, and it burns, Yeah it burns.

Don’t know how I made it out, but I learned, yeah I learned.

When the light falls on my face, I steal in it’s warm embrace

to get me out of this place I call lost..

when two worlds start to collide, you’ll crash or you decide,

to stand up or to hide, don’t watch it all go by..

I’m not wasting another day, figuring out the right way,

I’m not wasting another day, sitting around moping yeah, yeah.

I’m not wasting another day, trying to find the right way.

I’m not wasting another day, wishing and a hoping, wishing my whole life away.

what you do, what you do , what you do , what you do,.

Is all up to you.. don’t wish it away..

Not wasting another day, trying to find the right away.

Not wasting another day, wishing and a hoping, wishing and a hoping,

wishing and a hoping, wishing my whole life away.

Bordertown

(c) M.J.Harte (IMRO)

So much wasted young. When the hard times come.

And the blight ignites this Bordertown.

Still the rivers flow, and the grasses grow,

around the toes of this bordertown.

and the buildings stand without child or man

and the corporates plan to tear them down.

and the traders call for cheap alcohol,

’cause that’ll save us all in this bordertown

(chorus)

You can live, you can die, you can stay in this bordertown,

You can love, you can hate, you can pray in this bordertown.

You can go, You can fly, you can stray from this bordertown,

But you just can’t leave, ’cause it’s in your blood it’s in your veins

this old bordertown.

Girls and boys come down, from the hills around.

but they don’t stay long now in this bordertown.

‘Cause the taxi’s jammed, bound for a foreign land.

where the craic is grand and the girls are plenty… and the fightin’s plenty

(chorus)
