Blue Angel - Latest track by Mick Evans / Makayla Colonello - for The Charlotte And Gwenyth Gray Foundation

Blue Angel
Lyrics: Mick Evans / Music: Makayla Colonello

All of this heartache
stealing our dream days
it’s only dark clouds        
rolling away

Walking in sunshine             
here where our love plays     
sharing the best times            
here’s where we stay                
                        
Fly - Blue Angel smile
fly - my summer sky -
fly - Blue Angel smile
stay with me a little while
then fly - Blue Angel smile    

All of the lost time
roads we’ve not chosen    -    
no hope is stolen
no love undone        

Sing through the silence
no words unspoken
sing for the moment
we still shine on

Fly - Blue Angel smile
fly - my summer sky  
fly - Blue Angel smile
stay with me a little while     
then fly - Blue Angel smile
    
Reach out a hand - I’ll be there
take a look back - I’ll be there

Fly - Blue Angel smile
fly - my summer sky  
fly - Blue Angel smile
stay with me a little while      
then fly - Blue Angel smile    

Join hands - we sing together
Blue Angel smile

The Joker

A fantastic collaboration EP with Lawrence Grey featuring 'The Joker' - which you can download now on iTunes.

Sometimes, you have to take a good look at yourself - and ask: ‘Really - what the f**k am I doing?' ...

The Joker
Lyrics:  Mick Evans / Music: Lorenz Stiegler

Step right up - meet ‘The Joker’
the travelling clown
entertainer - bending belief
come on gather round  

Out of the spotlight - he comes down        

I give you ‘The Joker’
beneath the greasepaint  
behind that lob-sided smile -
lost face of ‘The Joker’
so alone in the mirror            
stops to stare a while - 
last call for ‘The Joker’
running on empty miles             
            
Packs his old bag - for the morning
each new hole hand-sewn    
the show is over - summer’s all done
takes his love back home

No more encores - hits the road

I give you ‘The Joker’
beneath the greasepaint  
behind that lob-sided smile -
lost face of ‘The Joker’
so alone in the mirror
stops to stare a while - 
last call for ‘The Joker’
running on empty miles

Welcome back! - welcome home!
been away - way too long -
brought my love back home

Farewell to ‘The Joker’
beyond the greasepaint  
lost in a lazy smile -
no place for ‘The Joker’
feels like home in the mirror
home to stay a while - 
farewell to the ‘The Joker’
lost in a lazy smile

Leave Some Love Behind

I've been working on a fantastic collaboration EP with Lawrence Grey featuring Leave Some Love Behind, which you can download now on iTunes.

A soft side – even for the cynics.

Everyone wants to leave something behind when they’re gone - some sort of legacy. The human condition.

Leave Some Love Behind - Semi-Finalist for Best Song Lyrics at the UK Songwriting Contest 2015
Lyrics by Mick Evans

I ain’t looking for Jesus
to help me live my life -
I aint keen on Believers
telling me wrong from right

I ain’t begging forgiveness
to help me sleep at night -
I aint cursing my weakness
when bells of midnight strike

But don’t come for me yet -
now’s not my time  

Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
at the end of the road
a little light still shines -          
gotta leave some love behind

I ain’t ticking no wish list
to right for all my wrongs -                 
I ain’t needing some headstone
stroking me when I’m gone   

But don’t come for me yet -
now’s not my time 

Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
at the end of the road
a little light still shines -                                       
gotta leave some love behind

Got no lovers - got no kids
no salad days left to miss
no real clue about all this
just got this burning wish

Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
at the end of the road
a little light still shines -                                      
gotta leave some love behind

Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
make it on through the night
when all the hope has died -         
gotta leave some love behind
