Give Me All Your Love (Morris) Give me all you’ve got to give You know that I’ll take all there is I’ve never known myself a better time So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine Give me everything you’ve got You know that I will take the lot With you I don’t know where to draw the line So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine The simple things are easy If you don’t make them hard Some people complicate me And leave me old and tired I don’t need to have too much I’m through with wanting all that stuff You are all I ever hoped to find So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine The simple things are easy If you don’t make them hard Some people complicate me And leave me old and tired But with you I feel alive You make me want to keep on trying With you I’ll never stop or fall behind So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Wilderness Wood (Morris) When I’m away and far from my home There’s always one place I long to return There’s nowhere I’d rather be I must confess Than under these trees in this old wilderness Wilderness wood I love to be In wilderness wood it’s the best place for me There’s nowhere I’d rather be I must confess Than under these trees in this old wilderness Every seasons a pleasure to see The bare branch of winter to green canopy There’s nowhere I’d rather be I must confess Than under these trees in this old wilderness Wilderness wood I love to be In wilderness wood it’s the best place for me There’s nowhere I’d rather be I must confess Than under these trees in this old wilderness My heart’s forever in Wilderness wood I’ll always remember this place where we stood There’s nowhere I’d rather be I must confess Than under these trees in this old wilderness Wilderness wood I love to be In wilderness wood it’s the best place for me There’s nowhere I’d rather be I must confess Than under these trees in this old wilderness Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Sunshine (Morris) Take a step in the right direction Listen well and you’ll hear that call It may be nice when the sun is shining Settle back and enjoy it all I’m singing of sunshine Pushing your clouds away Just wait for the sunshine Tomorrow will be a better day Take a step in the right direction Keep your head and avoid the fall It may be nice when the sun is shining Stepping up when you’re feeling small I’m singing of sunshine Pushing your clouds away Just wait for the sunshine Tomorrow will be a better day When the day is black You think there’s no way back But you’re wrong, just hang on When nothing seems to fit, you think that this is it But stay strong and carry on Take a step in the right direction Every day is an open door It may be nice when the sun is shining There will always be something more I’m singing of sunshine Pushing your clouds away Just wait for the sunshine Tomorrow will be a better day Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Campervan Song (Morris) Let’s have another drink, one for the road We’ve still got so many miles to go So pack up the van and let’s head out you know It’s just you and me on the road We don’t need anything it’s all here on board Packed from the tailgate, ceiling to floor We don’t need to rush we go steady and sure It’s just you and me on the road Heading home, heading home It’s just you and me on the road heading home Pack up the awning and light up the stove It’s four in the morning too early to go So brew up the coffee and burn all the toast It’s just you and me on the road And let’s have another hour laying in bed Wasting the time away swinging the lead We should get on but let’s stay here instead It’s just you and me on the road Heading home, heading home It’s just you and me on the road heading home Shut all the curtains and close out the night We won’t be leaving until it gets light Close your eyes darling and lay down your head Under these sheets in this rock ’n’ roll bed So pull on your overcoat against the cold The windows are drafty the gaskets are old The heater don’t work it just sits there and blows It’s just you and me on the road And here’s to the camper that never breaks down And here’s to the journey it takes us upon And wave to the others as we go along It’s just you and me on the road Heading home, heading home It’s just you and me on the road heading home Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

On The Outside (Morris/Mawer) Nice of you to tell me to my face That you were leaving me with that last embrace I could have told you long before you knew Just exactly what you thought you’d do I hope you don’t grow cold on the outside I hope you don’t grow old on the outside I hope you’re happy with the plans you made Cos you won’t be coming back this way again Nice of you to tell me to my face I guess I should have known I was easy to replace I should’ve seen the distance in your eyes But I was too wrapped up To see through your disguise I hope you don’t grow cold on the outside I hope you don’t grow old on the outside I hope you’re happy with the plans you made Cos you won’t be coming back this way again I guess it’s time to realise All we had was based on lies Now the truth is stretching me too thin Nice of you to tell me to my face That you were leaving me with that last embrace I could have told you long before you knew Just exactly what you thought you’d do I hope you don’t grow cold on the outside I hope you don’t grow old on the outside I hope you’re happy with the plans you made Cos you won’t be coming back this way again Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Home From Home (Morris) It don’t matter what you think you know Things can change and when you gotta go We’re going home from home We’re going home from home And after everything has come and gone We’re still here and the road goes on We’re going home we’re going home from home Leave the lessons of the past behind There are days that we have yet to find We’re going home from home We’re going home from home And after everything has come and gone We’re still here and the road goes on We’re going home we’re going home from home You may worry that you’ll never find a place To rest your head or call your own You’ll be sorry if you let the fears you face Steer you wrong So pack the van and get behind the wheel Get in gear and hear those tyres squeal We’re going home from home We’re going home from home And after everything has come and gone We’re still here and the road goes on We’re going home we’re going home from home You may worry that you’ll never find a place To rest your head or call your own You’ll be sorry if you let the fears you face Steer you wrong It don’t matter what you think you know Things can change and when you gotta go We’re going home from home We’re going home from home And after everything has come and gone We’re still here and the road goes on We’re going home we’re going home from home Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

It’s Over (Morris) Whether we’re wrong or whether we’re right We’re never gonna find out tonight So gather your thoughts and turn out the light It’s over You say you will and I say I might But we’re never gonna find out tonight Which one of us is gonna be right it’s over End of the road another day has come and gone I wanna know can you believe in what you’ve done Where do we go now the night is drawing on And for us the time has come, it’s over So whether we run or whether we fight We’re never gonna find out tonight If we will stay or if we’ll take flight, it’s over End of the road another day has come and gone I wanna know can you believe in what you’ve done Where do we go now the night is drawing on And for us the time has come, it’s over So whether we’re wrong or whether we’re right We’re never gonna find out tonight So gather your thoughts and turn out the light It’s over Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Nothing To Fear (Morris) Love may be a hard thing to hold on to But if you hold on to me then I will try to prove It’s how you’re feeling now That shows you it’s alright There’s nothing to fear for us tonight At this moment now as we lie by this burning fire It’s more than its warmth and light I think we both desire Flames that burn brightly Can still cool into the night But there’s nothing to fear for us tonight No there’s nothing to fear for us tonight There’s nothing to fear for us tonight So love may be a hard thing to hold on to But put your trust in me and I will show to you Your shadow seems darker When the moon is shining bright So there’s nothing to fear for us tonight Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

This Is The Life That You Chose (Morris) You take the car the house and the money Leave me my guitar my books and my clothes Pack me a bag now I’m leaving you honey Cos this is the life that you chose And you got a nerve to think that it’s funny But I’ll take my chances, see how it goes Back to the wall so I’m leaving you honey Cos this is the life that you chose Tried to make you happy it just brought you down You never had the sense To keep your feet on the ground Tried to please you baby but we couldn’t get on So this is your choice I hope you like it alone Well you take the car the house and the money Leave me my guitar my books and my clothes Pack me a bag now I’m leaving you honey Cos this is the life that you chose Tried to make it happen but you wouldn’t give in You never had a reason you just had to win You’ve made it easy baby With the things that you’ve done If this is your choice then I’m glad that I’ve gone You take the car the house and the money Leave me my guitar my books and my clothes Pack me a bag now I’m leaving you honey Cos this is the life that you chose Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Sleep In The Morning (Morris) The sweat on the palm of my hands Made it harder to play as the night wore me down But we played till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning Such a gentle refrain in the night Catching the ear of those still left behind But we played till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning Crawling out in the light of the morning Close my eyes Far away from the beat of the warning, city’s cry The light sliding out of the eye The stars in the darkness blazed down from the sky And we played till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

A Love We Share (Morris) This is a love we share and it will always be And nothing can compare to what we’ve got We never need to stop, this is a love we share And at that certain time, we’d meet and fall in love And though a time may come and it may go Between us we both know, this is a love we share This is a love we share, for all eternity We know it’s always there Something’s are meant to be This is a love we share and it will always be And nothing can compare to what we’ve got We never need to stop, this is a love we share This is a love we share, for all eternity We know it’s always there Something’s are meant to be There was a time and place, where fate or destiny Said we were meant to always be as one Together we’ll go on, this is a love we share Where we were meant to always be as one Together we’ll go on, this is a love we share Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris

Don’t Fear The Night (Morris/King) You don’t need to fear the night And you don’t need to pray for light Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now And you don’t need to hide within And you don’t need to always win Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now There’ll be a time when you have to stand alone There’ll be a time when you will not be so strong There’ll be a time when you’ll realise that You don’t need to fear the night And you don’t need to pray for light Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now Lyrics © copyright 2016 James Morris
