10. STAY
Lay Me Down Copyright April 2005 Paul Donaldson
Lay down On the sweet green grass Silver moon Rolled over and past And maybe I’ll just Close my eyes For a while…
and Lay me down
Deep down I know This peace won’t last ‘cos trouble is coming From the caves of the past And maybe I’ll just Close my eyes…
and Lay me down
And I don’t know How far I will fall I only know I’ll get by
Lay me down Lay me down Lay me down ...Close my eyes…
Ain't Here Forever
Music & lyrics copyright control
P Donaldson 2004
Can you hear, crickets calling?
Summer's here
I know it ain't here forever
I'm gonna stay right here
'til I tell her everything
That I've been longing to say
I know, Oh, I know, it ain't here forever
Can you hear, crickets calling you?
Oh, summer, summer's here
But I know, Oh, I know
It ain't here forever
I'm gonna stay right here
'til I tell her everything
That I've been longing to say
'cos I know, Baby, I know, it ain't here forever
Here she comes
And I feel my spirit lifting up
Baby, and I know, Oh, I know
It ain't here forever
I ain't here forever
It ain't here forever
And I know, wherever I go
I love you
I'm gonna stay right here
'til I tell her everything
That I've been longing to say
'cos I know, Baby, I know,
It ain't here forever
Love Will Find A Way Copyright April 2004 Paul Donaldson
Before you kiss
The cold lips of yesterday
Before you roll back the stone
From where it lay
Before you reach the end of your road
Before you drop your heavy load
I know, Love will find a way
Before the tide
Turns to run back to the sea
Before the light
Fades inside you and me
Although your heart is breaking now
It will come to us somehow
I know, Love will find a way
Before you break
'cos you can't take it anymore
It will come
Kick down your door
Although your heart is breaking now
It will come to us somehow
I know, Love will find a way
Last Train From Memphis Copyright 2005 Paul Donaldson
Some day
You'll remember
Summer rain falling
Trying to remember something
About the nature of loving you
Taking the Last train from Memphis
If you look behind you now
You know, you would have seen
Your bridges burning
To the strains of an old song
That came from the Civil War
When you were taking the Last train from Memphis
And so
There you were
Taking the train
Not for the better I think
But then again, who's to say
Just where these things will lead?
Taking the Last train from Memphis
Your Memory Lingers On
Words Paul Donaldson &
Lesley Capucho-Paulo Vocals: Gilleen Williams
Music: P. Donaldson Copyright control P Donaldson 2004
Through my window
I can see your smile
Though you've gone
Your memory lingers on
You ran away
My soul still remembers you
Boy, for always
Baby, you'll always be mine
You don't know how I've tried
To be brave
All through the lonely nights
But I can't have you back, no more
Your memory lingers on
Through the years
Your face may fade away
But in the stillness of time
Baby, you'll always be mine
You don't know how I've tried
To be brave
All through the lonely nights
But I can't have you back, no more
Not while I've got my pride
Your memory lingers on...
Lonely Heart Music & lyrics copyright control
P Donaldson 2004
Morning comes and he rises
Barefoot to the window
Slowly he draws back the curtains
He's bathing in sunlight streams
And I, I never realised
My loneliness
Until he came into my life
And I love him
I had a lot of years behind me
It seems that all they would mean
Was I'd come all of this way
Just to be unheard
Just to be unseen
And I, I never realised
My loneliness
Until he came into my life
And I love him
He's gazing through my window
At the open road
And I wonder is he staying?
Or tell me, will he go?
My Lonely Heart
What will you do?
My Lonely Heart
'cos I, I never realised
My loneliness
....until you came into my life...
Peaceful Waters

Paul Donaldson
Cut me to the bone
Do your worst now, do it all
Though, it will hurt me
It will only make me stronger
Stronger day by day
Someday, I’ll forgive you
For your anger
Your cruel intentions, bitterness
‘cos deep inside me
Peaceful waters
Flow right through me
Take me home
Peaceful waters
Won’t you carry me home?
You could have touched me
With your fingers
Healing words, to heal my pain
But you just knew how
To twist the knife, now
I’m on my knees now
Can’t you see?
Peaceful Waters
…take me away…
Love Goes Marching On
Copyright control July 2005
Paul Donaldson
Martin Luther King was a man
Who died for freedom, for the Promised Land
He had a dream, the dream goes on
Although the dreamer, the dreamer is gone
Love Goes Marching On…
Although the road, it seems so long
And you feel like, you can’t go on
Just remember humanity’s sons
Sons and daughters
Who built the road
Love Goes Marching On…
King had a dream
The dream goes on
Though the dreamer
The dreamer is gone
But Love will seek us
Armies are gathering
Throughout the night
I hear the voices of Evil
I hear the voices of Light
By their fruits shall you know them
They shall know you
Their armies are gathering
Which one is coming for you?
Love Goes Marching On…
Stay
Copyright control September 2005
Paul Donaldson
I knew that I hurt her
But now that she’s leaving
They say I should get down on my knees and say
Stay, don’t you run away
Baby, stay, I’ll make it better
But I said my pride is too strong
Stronger than this, this need to have you by me
So I won’t bend my knees and say
Stay, don’t you run away
Baby stay, I’ll make it better
Love can be so hard to bear
The thing that cuts, a thing that tears the heart
Through the long and lonely nights
With my heart beating fast
Like its running from the past
I said, darling, you know this love must last
So, stop, I’ll make it better
Stop, in the name of love
Baby stay, I’ll make it better
I knew I was wrong
I knew all along
But if you stop, look:
Baby, I’m on my knees…

Geetan on stage as a session musician. The artist was Josephine Oniyama supporting the legendary Jimmy Cliff at Academy 3 in Manchester, UK
Good Lord! What a life. Geetan in India at the Madurai Temple
This is me, taken during the 'War of Very Small Photographers' in Germany.
Grrrrrrr
Okay?
Geetan. Hanging out with the squares......okay, how about Geetan having a night on the tiles? No? Fair enough, make up your own caption.
I only drive my car in black and white. It's a lot safer than colour.
Hey wait a minute!....that..that's me! I expect I'm looking for bosoms. Nothing new there then...
Welcome to the new press office. I'm Geetan, the car's called Elvis.
