Getting Off The Rollercoaster

Breakaway

by Adrian Newington. © 1987.

This song was a gift to myself and a dear friend of mine, to help us get by the early stages of Separation and Divorce that we were both experiencing at the same time.

Well I've been thinkin' about you,
and been wondering what's going through your mind.

I guess you're thinkin' about me,
Well I'm alright and I am doin' fine.
We were forced to the wall,
but still we found the strength to go on.

(Chorus)

It's time to breakaway from the old ways.
It's time, to make way for the new days,
it's time, it's time to breakaway.
It's time to breakaway... Breakaway!

Well I've been thinkin' about you,
and I can see you've got yourself back in line.
I guess you're thinkin' about me,
I'll play it cool and make the most of time.
We were hopelessly lost,
but still we found our way to the top.

(Repeat Chorus)

Well I've been thinkin' about you,
You'll be right just give yourself some time.
I guess you're thinkin' about me,
I'll play it cool and make the most of time.
We've got to follow our dreams,
this time 'round it's gonna work out.

(Repeat Chorus)

Don't be Afraid

by Adrian Newington. © 1987

This song was composed from the feelings of compassion I experienced after a friend revealed to me, that her Father had behaved in the most inappropriate way possible that any Father could with a young Daughter. Though the song was meant for one, I sing it for many in the hope that my Love through my music, may touch your heart with friendship and understanding.

Don't be afraid of the nightime.
Don't let your fears take you over.
If you want to,
I can show you,
a brand new day.
So you don't have to be afraid,
of the nightime, anymore.

You said to me,
you've been living, in a shadow.
I thought that I could bring you,
into sunlight.
If you hear, what I'm sayin'
I'll offer you a way.
So you don't have to be afraid,
of the nightime, anymore.

My wish for you is to lead a life,
in the sunshine.
And if you need, a helping hand,
you can have mine.
At the dawn, there's no sorrow,
all things are passing by.
So you don't have to be afraid,
of the nightime, anymore.
