Further Down The Road Derek McCorkell March 2018 The Sea's of Life are often troubled, The Sands of Time get blown away, The Winds of Change can steer us far of course, So we sometimes tend to stray, But if we keep our vision centered on the path our Saviour trod, We'll find our way and make it further down the road. Chorus For further down the road there's happiness, For those who can endure, The twists and turns that will eventually Lead us to heaven's door. If we just keep our faithwith the one who's love, Will help us bear our load, He'll take our hand and lead us further down the road, Salvation's just a little further down the road. bridge There's a crossroads in the lives of everyone it's true, But the signposts clearly point the way The road you take depends on you. Your hopes and fears will leave you wondering, The seeds of doubt will cloud your mind, Your darkest hour's before the dawn, You must seek before you find, Look inside your heart and find the part, Where all your love is stored, You'll find your way and make it further down the road. Chorus For further down the road there's happiness, For those who can endure, The twists and turns that will eventually Lead us to heaven's door. If we just keep our faithwith the one who's love, Will help us bear our load, He'll take our hand and lead us further down the road, Salvation's just a little further down the road.

Tequila & Lime by Derek McCorkell Copyright 2017 all rights reserved. I knew it was bound to happen, guess it was destined to be. One morning you'd wake up and leave me to stew, in my own misery, I watched you as you walked away, I even laughed when you bid me so long, There were things that I wanted to tell you girl,but you couldn't wait to be gone. Chorus So I'll grab myself some Tequila, a fresh squeeze of Lime, My friends Margarita & Jose Cuervo, arrived just in time. I'm sippin a long cool Tequila Mojito, how good can it get, Tequila & Lime is such a great way to help me forget. You though I would cry when you left me, but girl you're so wrong, I knew we were over a long time ago. what took you so long, Look there's no tears on my pillow, gee it's not even wet. Since you left me it's been one big party that's not over yet. chorus I'll just grab me some more Tequila,the last bottle was fine, Margarita & Jose say come to the party,lets all have a really good time. Another Tequila Sunrise, it gets better the hotter it gets, Tequila & Lime is a great way to help you forget. Chorus I'll just grab me some more Tequila,the last bottle was fine, Margarita & Jose say come to the party,lets all have a really good time. Another Tequila Sunrise, it gets better the hotter it gets, Tequila & Lime is a great way to help you forget. I'll raise one more glass in your honor, Sie La Vie no regrets. Tequila & Lime is a great way to help you forget.

Lying Next To You Derek McCorkell 2005 Re-Done April 2018 5:30 in the morning, get up out of bed, Another day just dawning , thoughts of Coffee in my head, Yet for the first time in a long while, seems I slept all night, Loving you within my dreams and holding you tight, The smell of Coffee wakes me, but not completely yet, I need to taste that French Roast and grab a Cigarette. Then I think about you, And the way you make me feel. There's no doubt that I love you, I can't believe it's real. But when I hold you , Girl it feels so right, Nothing ever makes me feel the way I do. Lying next to you . Gee it's been a long day, so good to get back home, Get back here beside you babe , cause here's where I belong. I feel at peace now , when I see your smile, You put your head upon my shoulder and , You just snuggle for a while. Seems you're contented too,cause girl you fall asleep. As I listen to you breathing soft and Know you're mine to keep. Then I think about you, And the way you make me feel. There's no doubt that I love you, I can't believe it's real. But when I hold you , Girl it feels so right, Nothing ever makes me feel the way I do. Lying next to you . Loving you is easy yet I swear The days go on forever girl Whenever you're not there Then I think about you, And the way you make me feel. There's no doubt that I love you, I can't believe it's real. But when I hold you , Girl it feels so right, Nothing ever makes me feel the way I do. Lying next to you . Then I think about you, And the way you make me feel. There's no doubt that I love you, I can't believe it's real. But when I hold you , Girl it feels so right, Nothing ever makes me feel the way I do. Lying next to you . But when I hold you , Girl it feels so right, Nothing ever makes me feel the way I do. Lying next to you .

Heart Of The City copyright Feb 2018 Derek McCorkell Chorus There ain't much love in the Heart of The City, Streets get dangerous, when the daylight's gone. Mean Streets are hard & cruel, never pretty, In the dead of the night the Heart of The City beats on. In the dead of the night the Black Heart of The City beats on. Verse Fools travel blindly , where Angels fear to tread, Never thinking what, lies around each turn. If you look you'll find places, where the Sunlight's never shared. If you go to the places where the Sun don't shine, You take the chance you may never return. Chorus There ain't much love in the Heart of The City, Streets get dangerous, when the daylight's gone. Mean Streets are hard & cold, and show no pity, In the dead of the night the Heart of The City beats on. In the dead of the night the Black Heart of The City beats on. bridge In the daylight, the City seems so much brighter. No traces of the evil that lies within. But when the Sun goes down, you gotta be a Fighter, For you'll find yourself surrounded by , The evil that the City draws in. Chorus There ain't much love in the Heart of The City, Streets get dangerous, when the daylight's gone. Mean Streets are hard & cruel, never pretty, In the dead of the night the Heart of The City beats on. In the dead of the night the Black Heart of The City beats on. In the dead of the night the Heart of The City beats on. In the dead of the night the Black Heart of The City beats on.

The Day Of Reckoning copyright Feb21 2018 Derek McCorkell The poor man seldom gets his just rewards for all he's done, The rich man takes much more than he deserves. The poor man struggles endlessly, his battle never won, The rich man rides the Gravy Train along the straights & round the curves. But there will come a day --- a day of Reckoning. The Politicians hollow words don't contain a grain of truth, Only said to instigate their Master Plan. False promises they'll offer up at the Election Booth, Just empty words that fall upon the ears of the common working man. There will come a day ---- A day of Reckoning Theres no question inequality still reigns , The rich man gathers up his wealth, the poor man gets the pain. When their dirty deals have all been done, we'll see the writing on the wall, The poor man empty handed stands , as the rich man takes it all. Politics and Rich men seem to both walk hand in hand , Deceit,Greed and selfishness corrupt the power that they command, Yet what better way to keep the poor mans back against the wall, Control the Government, and you control it all, There's got to be a day --- a Day Of Reckoning Surely people there must come a day, When these folk called up to account, their just deserts to pay. Justice cries we must have some defense , To stop the rich man getting richer , at the poorer mans expense. The poor man seldom gets his just rewards for all he's done, The rich man just takes all that he can get. The poor man struggles endlessly, his battle not yet won. That day is coming, just ain't got here --- yet. When the last word has been spoken , we face the Final Curtain Call, We see Rich & poor divided stand,on both sides of the wall. Then for Justice & Equality The Freedom Bell we'll ring. That will start the day ---- The Day of the Reckoning. We're all longing for the day --- the Day of Reckoning Lord please make today the day --- the Day of Reckoning.

Picture Postcard Memories copyright 2015 Derek McCorkell Looking through our faded photographs, My mind slips away, to you & I watching The night turn to day. Then walking slowly hand in hand, As the sun lights up the sky, The cares of this world Just passing us by. Picture Postcard Memories, But not the here & now, Sitting here in our favorite place, Slipping back in time, somehow. But time it's toll has taken, And I cry a lonely tear, They're Picture Postcard Memories. How I wish you were here. Here we are at your garden gate, As I picked you up ,on our first date, Here we're walking down the aisle, We looked so young, See how much we smiled. Remember this, our honeymoon, Summer madness over way too soon, How I wish I could turn back time, To those happy days, Wouldn't that be fine . Picture Postcard Memories, But not the here & now, Sitting here in our favorite place, Slipping back in time, somehow. But time it's toll has taken, And I cry a lonely tear, They're Picture Postcard Memories. How I wish you were here. Yes time it's toll has taken, And I cry a lonely tear, They're only Picture Postcard Memories, I wish you were here. They're only Picture Postcard Memories. How I wish you were here. Wish you were here

She took the ring off her finger copyright Derek McCorkell She took the ring off her finger as she walked away She had no more cause to wear it Their divorce was final today. And now that it's all over,and after all they had been through, Saying goodbye at the Courthouse, was the hardest thing to do. For 20 years that little Golden Band Was a bond they shared in life, She proudly wore it there on her left hand, It showed that they were man & wife . She never dreamed he'd be untrue, He'd be there forever & a day. But she took the ring off her finger as she walked away. Remembers clear the day they said I do, He told her that he loved her,she said she loved him too. Now 20 years along the road of life he wanted to be free, A single tear ran down her cheek ,as the Judge signed that Decree. For 20 years that little Golden Band Was a bond they shared in life, She proudly wore it there on her left hand, It showed that they were man & wife . She never dreamed he'd be untrue, He'd be there forever & a day. But she took the ring off her finger as she walked away. She never dreamed he'd be untrue, He'd be there forever & a day. But she took the ring off her finger as she walked away. But she took the ring off her finger as she walked away.
