Sailor's Song
by charli41093 3,561 views
Ok guys... this is my first ever original on youtube. I hope you like it :) Please leave me comments, and subscribe if you want to :) I will be oh so grateful. Loves x
Lyrics:
Everything seems to be falling down
And sailing away on an ocean of tears
We cried so hard
For what? We can't change the world
So I'll float away
In my little blue boat to a place where I can stay
Where my troubles can't reach me
But I know it's only an escape
Hometowns are made to haunt
People are made to taunt
We can't stop them but we can use our imagination
To go to a better place
I want a garden full of fairy tales
And snails that don't leave slime
Instead a silver lining
To fill up my wondering mind
And I'll roam this land until I can't walk no more
Eventually everybody's gonna fall
And I'll go back home
To the place I used to crawl.

This one's for my wonderful friend Jason, 'cause he loves this song :) I hope I didn't ruin it for you! x
I snapped a string on the guitar I normally used so I used the 12 string for this... haven't got the hang of it quite yet so this really is not right. Maybe I'll do another one when my guitar is back in order :) x

Ivory Towers
by charli41093 1,325 views
This is a new original I wrote yesterday. I came up with it after seeing a programme about some of the people living in total poverty and amongst destruction. I myself will be the first to admit that I moan, this country, things I haven't got, my future, but compared to some of those people I've got everything I could ever ask for. Some things that really shocked me were the statistics - 4000 people are raped every year in Johannesburg, that's between 10 and 11 per day, and more than 11 people are murdered every week. And that's only one city. The security we have is something that we really take for granted. So, that was really the motivation behind this one and I hope you guys enjoy the song, even though it's really not something to enjoy. :)
Lyrics:
I sit and watch you from my ivory tower,
It seems you are the ones that the world wants to devour.
Why can I see past the bloodshot eyes and dirt that's on your face?
It looks like you're the ones that everyone will just erase.
The scars and tales they tell them show the truth,
But why is it necessary that we need such proof?
We can see the sadness in your heart, and all at just sixteen.
I can't get a real idea from behind my television screen.
They're waiting for you,
To bid adieu to this place so blue.
Waiting for you.
So have some heart 'cause this whole thing's gone askew.
I don't want to sit here in my ivory tower
What use are we to you when all we do is feel empowered?
That's the problem with the Western world, some just don't seem to care.
We'd rather turn a blind eye and become a millionaire.

Embers (original)
by charli41093 1,244 views
NEW GUITAAAAR :D
So I wrote this one the other day, hope you like it :)
Lyrics:
The rarest spark has come this way
It sits on my shoulder and waits
For a sudden direction
A simple word
A magnet drawn through chemistry
The lead has snapped but it's okay
This work of art is done
It's over so
Run, far, it carries me
Over the rugged stream
It cuts through, like a jagged knife edge
Silhouetting my horizon
There's a better day for us soon,
Maybe too soon
Eyes like diamonds make me cry
A speck of wealth flown into mine
So I catch them in a jar
Liquid gold they are.

Wasting Time (original)
by charli41093 655 views
Lyrics:
A shoot, the earth is crumbling.
Life is coming through and the sky opens up for you.
We'll walk and dance under the lights,
Twinkling bright oh I want to disappear into the night
But if, if I did of then I would miss.
The time, all of the time we'll spend,
And I don't want to be that friend
The one that runs, runs and runs and runs.
You help me to feel alive,
The room lights up with you in I'm shaking in my skin.
Don't scare me out of here,
Your warming smile and eyes tell me to move to you my dear.

Peas in a Pod (original)
by charli41093 1,256 views
After doing a live version I thought I'd upload a proper video of it...Enjoooy :)
Lyrics! :D
So many things that I want to say but for now I'll just stay
Here by myself I've not got a way with words
It's all jumbled in my mind like a circus on Piccadilly
And I'm just too shy to make my way
The only thing I know is that we,
Look like we fit quite perfectly,
Two peas in a pod,
So tell me how quick can we tie this knot?
Now the warmth of your hand in mine, tells me that this all just takes time
I just wanted to be the one you'd pick
Icicle toes on mine, is this where it all ends tonight?
The moment tells me we're alright
The only thing I know is that we,
Look like we fit quite perfectly,
Two peas in a pod,
So tell me how quick can we tie this knot?

Cobbles (original)
by charli41093 2,325 views
New original, thought Id whack it up :D I dont know why I said yeah so much either ;)
Lyrics:
If I said to wake me up in Belgium, what would you do?
Well get me a hot waffle and take me down the cobbles
We'll find some lovely things to do.
You know I can't smile without your smile
It's making me awfully sad, I aint seen in in a while.
I'd travel the world in style with you,
Flash me your twinkling eye like you always do.
Happy, is that what this is?
But if being without you's making my heart sink baby,
Is this the real thing?
I would roam around the globe, if just for one day
Cause if that's all the time I had you know I'd stay
Here with you...
Would you stay with me?

Mumford and Sons, The Cave (cover)
by charli41093 115,871 views
I've had dozens of comments about the 'second' 'edited' 'real' voice in the background. This is because I could not remove the audio from the video so I just had to layer the separate vocal recording over the top. Sorry if this annoys you but it's the best I can do. Thanks to all you guys who love it anyway.

New original... hope you like it!! :D Sorry it's so quiet again by the way, crank it up ;) I kind of have a cold so sorry I sound a bit weird... andddd....Lyrics :)
Washed up water, circling the drain
It's all for her, changing her mind again
It's not over, not for her it's not
Counting forwards, wants to turn back time.
Is it alright? Not the way it's now
Just read my mind, it would save us being down
Cover my eyes, so I won't see what's coming on
Stay here all night, I'm dying to let you in my love.
And ive barely slept in weeks, but that's fine with me
As long as I get to see, see the way you look at me
But now Im getting all the rest I need
Even if its restlessly
But it's not what I need
All I want All I want
Is to see is you beam, Beaming through the dark at me
Ive written more songs, than days Ive know you babe
But you know me better than this scribbled page
It's covered in thoughts and covered in words that
I'll never say its so absurd and I need you to know..
Thanks guyyyyys :
