Don't Turn Away
02:55

When you see 'em fall don't turn away
There's a silent call don't turn away
When the tears flow and the sadness grows
You gotta show that your heart knows
Don't turn away
No, don't turn away
They don't look the same don't turn away
It's a crying shame that they just can't say
That all they want in a time of need
Is a kind word someone to heed
Their pain
Don't turn away
Let's reverse the trend
everyone could be your friend
They say "no such thing as society"
But there's still you and there's still me....
If you feel their pain don't turn away
You can take the strain if you know the way
Life's no dry run see a kindness done
we all live under that same sun.
Don't turn away, no
Don't turn away, no
Don't turn away
Don't turn away

The Hour Before Dawn
03:59
|

The hour before dawn is the darkest of the night
As black, bony fingers block out nascent light
And dreams meet their maker, caught in a vice
Of a dream cocktail shaker, that crushes them like ice.
In the hour before dawn, I feel so alone
cos you're not by my side.
As the night shuts the door, I don't see you anymore
You're not by my side
Creativity fades leaving mistrust and fear
And the voice of self-doubt well that's the only voice you hear.
What was it I thought? The spark of the new?
A lost vault of words, in a dream without you.
In the hour before dawn, I feel so alone
cos you're not by my side.
As the night shuts the door, I don't see you anymore
You're not by my side
My eyes face the dark and I no longer know
What is real or imagined in this jet-black tableau.
Soon comes the light of another new day
But night holds your dreams, they remain locked away.
In the hour before dawn, I feel so alone
cos you're not by my side.
As the night shuts the door, I don't see you anymore
You're not by my side
As the night shuts the door, I don't see you anymore
You're not by my side
You're not by my side

The Woman Inside
04:31
|

The woman inside she taunts you
Through a face you recognise
The voice it is strong it is strident
Makes you believe your own eyes.
She talks in strange incantations
Quite often speaking in tongues
Yet she calls with the air of a nymphet so fair
Her tone it sounds so young
But the woman inside, she's a stranger
And she beckons with a siren call
For the outside it looks so familiar to you.
Inside its just an empty hall
She looks as though she is listening
Skill she can no longer learn
As the embers of old conversations unfold
(and) remain in her heard as they burn
The woman shes anticipating
As the clock ticks inexorably on
Forgetting for what she is waiting again
he moment once more, its gone.
But the woman inside, she's a stranger
And she beckons with a siren call
For the outside it looks so familiar to you.
Inside its just an empty hall
For the outside it looks so familiar to you.
Inside its just an empty hall

Goin' Back Home
04:24
|

I'm goin, goin back home
I'm goin, goin back home
There's nothing for me here that's for sure
No-one to turn to anymore.
The sunlight shines through the clouds
Revealing ethereal shrouds
As I look skywards what do I see?
A homecoming angel guiding me.
I got a lifetime of happiness I need to find
In this life is there a second chance?
Maybe I should just follow the signs
Never take a backwards glance?
I'm goin, goin back home
I'm goin, goin back home
Yet I don't know where home is anymore
But I'll know when I walk through that door
I'm walking through that door

Emma Gee Flowers UK
My music comes from the heart- one that contains love, doubts, burning principles, anger, and hope.
It's country,
blues, Americana, with a smattering of 70s pop. Whatever works to tell the story.
I write because I must. I hope others feel something in my songs too.
I'm originally from Birmingham, England,via Dublin, Ireland, but who knows where my travels will take me.
