You're at peace - Soft acoustic song tribute to my late nan. (original song lyrics)


*Acoustic guitar strumming* 

Went round the corner today, to your old yellow house, 

in a street where everyone knew your name, 
I walked to the door and put my hand on the handle, i hesitate, 
I hesitate,

I walk on in and see nothing in sight, 
no paintings, no photos, only sunlight,
Kettle's cold but your biscuits still remain, 
Hope you're happy seeing your favourite cowboy, Ol John Wayne, 

I hope you're happy and at peace, 
While i'm down here in pain, 
you deserve to be free at least,  
Please don't ever leave us in the past,
Your memory will live on for at last,
You're at peace. 

Sleep on in silently there my friend,
You made us laugh and chuckle til the end, 
I miss you're face and your laugh,
Remember playing you in bingo and you'd call house,
Getting us to check your ticket when it was a false, 

I hope you're happy and at peace,
Knowing we are doing you proud at least,
You wont be forgotten, you're memory will remain,
Apart of our hearts forever, 
You're at peace,

*Acoustic strum solo*

Be at peace now my friend, 
I loved you to bits and i won't forget, 
All the lessons you taught and all the heights you reached, 
For this is not the end, This is not the end, 
I'll see you in my dreams, i'll see you later on,
Down the road, the skies are clear, because you're at peace,
You're at peace, 

*Acoustic slows down to a halt*

You're aaaat peeeaaaceee

When I'm At Your Side (original lyrics/poem)

Standing on the field in the pouring rain, nothing is what it seems, 
Our love was bright, young, an eternal flame,
Now i'm just existing, standing here questioning,
Was it all really worth it, where do we go from here,

When i was at your side, everything was bright and colourful,
The greys of the world were lit up, the streets sparkled,
Your eyes were the thing of pure beauty and ecstasy,
Warm hands that melted away all the ice of my emotions,
I was given a life, i could feel and for the first time in years, 
I'm happy,

You said you loved me, that i was the only one for you,
But you were never really here for me, when i needed you,
I'm sad, i cry now, all on my own, alone once again,
You said see you later, i love you, unknowing that it would be the last i saw of you, 
I need you so much, i hope you realise just how much i care,
I just need you here, i need you to be there,

When i was at your side, everything was bright and colourful,
The greys of the world were lit up, the streets sparkled,
Your eyes were the thing of pure beauty and ecstasy,
Warm hands that melted away all the ice of my emotions,
I was given a life, i could feel and for the first time in years, 
I'm happy,

We argue and the world seems to be on fire,
No speaking as the space around us burns, 
Saying sorry and crying about a mistake or a misunderstanding,
The flames dulling and heat decreasing in intensity as we share an embrace, 
We always love each other even in the mists of the heat on our face,

When i'm at your side, everything is bright and colourful,
The greys of the world light up, the streets sparkle,
Those warm hands, that loving smile, that fans the flames of disagreement,
I've been blessed with a life and a person to share it with, I feel and for the first time in years, 
I'm happy,

There's up's, there's downs, there's round after round,
We always end up back in each other's arms smiling,
Laughing at how we laugh, laughing at each other's dirty jokes, 
We take midnight rides to the mountains and watch the stars fly by, 
Walk for ages holding hands, imagining everything we could obtain,
Although we grow older and our bodies change, our love and friendship always remains the same,

Sharing a life, having someone to care for you,
It's a lot and it's new and exciting, it's easy to be carried away in a heat of a moment,
But no matter how angry or sad or alone i get, i know you are thinking of me,
I know you love me, You are always on my mind,
You always pick me up even when i feel defeated,
Telling you how much i love and care for you is never enough words to express the feelings,
I hope you know you're my world, I aint ever going out of your stratosphere,

When i'm at your side, everything is bright and colourful,
The greys of the world light up, the streets sparkle,
Those warm hands, that loving smile, that fans the flames of disagreement,
I've been blessed with a life and a person to share it with, I feel and for the first time in years, 
I'm happy for the first time ever, yes, I'm happy, truly happy,

For the first time ever, we're both happy.

Written by Scott Jones
A love song/poem i wrote based upon two people who have a unique love and who have arguments but they don't ever give up or leave each other and when they go have their own space to clear their heads they are always having the same feelings for one another. They make each other happy for the first time ever in both of their collective lives.
