Written & Perfomed by Mel Roberts.
The video is a mash up from some old stuff I had shot at Moonlight Beach, Encinitas, California and outside Pikes Place Market in Seattle, Washington ... cunningly cut with footage from two old public domain government information films "Consuming" and "Drugs Are Like That" .... :)
I can take care of myself
I don't choose to be alone
Too many times I've let a good thing go
This time I'll fight to bring you home
We're doing good here in my dreams
Running laughing in the wind
The rising sun still finds that your gone
I'll find away for us to carry on
It's your warm familiar touch
That makes me cry
It's the love that gets too much
I don't know why
The closer that we get the more I run
The closer that we get I'm more undone
I ask you what is love
Coz' I really need to know
Does it mean I'm dying all alone
A useless one man show
It's your warm familiar touch
That makes me cry
It's the love that gets too much
I don't know why
The closer that we get the more I run
The closer that we get I'm more undone
The closer that we get the more I run
The closer that we get I'm more undone

Love your footage Mel. Your voice grabbed me immediately and the lyrical content is wonderful. Love how the piano kicks in with more texture around 0:35
