lyrics

I wake up at 5 am; I wake up with a clear head
and I think about my aims; and ponder things that can change

I leave the safety of my home; I look back at curtains drawn
I turn away to face down the road; and wonder what this day holds

I engage in small talk; I'm bored by 8 o'clock
suddenly something kicks off; halfway down the hall

I got used to the violence; I got used to the blood
the only thing I couldn't do; was learn how to talk

when I got home it was dark; stripped off my crumpled shirt
I fell into the living room seat; and listened to the clock

I headed upstairs; my kid was fast asleep
his head full of dreams; dreams I hope he keeps

I fell into our bed; my knuckles still red
she sleepily asks; how was your day?

the wind howls outside; rain against the panes
got this roof over my head; got to lift that weight

I wake up at 5 am; I wake up with a clear head
and I think about my aims; and ponder things that can change

My hopes and dreams, go to my son.

Paul Henry Smith Falkirk, UK

Acoustic, electronic, full band, whatever takes my mood. Been crafting music for over 20 years. Still not happy, can you ever write the perfect album?

I'm from Falkirk, I built a small studio with much loved hand me downs and second hand gear.

When I record I get lost in an emotion, it spills onto the disc, sometimes it messy, sometimes its a rather wonderful painting I can keep forever. ... more
