Always 03:44
lyrics

I was blinded fool 'Cause I couldn't see And I looked right through What was right in front of me Without a care For what might be You waited there So patiently CHORUS Perhaps I always knew Maybe it was always true That it was always you….for me I did not listen No, I couldn't hear Though the message you were sending me Was loud and clear All those wasted days All the months and years I heard the call from far away And missed your whisper in my ear CHORUS Perhaps I always knew Maybe it was always true That it was always you….for me BRIDGE Oh, my chance has gone Now that you've moved on I'll try to get along......somehow And to this I swear I will be more aware Of who is standing there Right here, right now CHORUS Perhaps I always knew Maybe it was always true That it was always you….for me © 2014 Robin Tymm 22nd June 2014

Tracing Lines 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I’ll tell you something you should know The parts don’t add up to the whole Right here, right now Is all there is to understand No fortunes told or mystic signs Will yet unfold from tracing lines Upon your hand Your eyes were shining like the sun I spoke of what we’d left undone I’ll take the skies You can keep the seas and lands My greatest fear was wasting time Just sitting here and tracing lines Across the sand BRIDGE I’m going home This island life is not for me I’m cut and dried Without a hint of mystery At night I dream of being carried out to sea That my heart fails is no surprise I ran my race this was my prize Your careless words Are causing more harm than was planned There’s nothing else for us to find We lost ourselves just tracing lines To where we stand BRIDGE I’m going home This island life is not for me I’m cut and dried I’m far beyond all mystery But late at night I dream of being carried out to sea © 2009 Robin Tymm 9th August 2009

Ups & Downs 03:43
lyrics

We had our ups Lord, we had our downs And we got lost But we’d end up found Though we’ve been broke Never once felt poor ‘Cause we had enough Never wanted more CHORUS If I could turn back time And do it all again If you would still be mine I wouldn't change a thing When we were tired Sleep came at last Then we were sick But the fever passed We said our prayers But still committed sin Fell out of love but straight away Fell right back in CHORUS If I could turn back time And do it all again If you would still be mine I wouldn't change a thing BRIDGE Don’t miss a single beat Leave one moment out of place Perhaps we’d never meet Would I ever see your face? We had our ups Lord, we had our downs We got so lost, somehow we’d Always end up found Said our goodbyes ‘Most every day You still feign surprise When you hear me say CHORUS If I could turn back time And do it all again If you would still be mine I wouldn't change a thing If you would still be mine I wouldn't change a thing © 2015 Robin Tymm 31st January 2015

I'm gonna change if you really want me to I'm gonna change if it means I can stay with you Is there any part of me you’d like to save Tell me ‘cause I'm gonna throw it all away I'm gonna change if you really want me to I'm gonna change if you think it's for the best I'm gonna change if it'll help me pass your test Gonna change my stripes and change my spots Change from a caterpillar to a moth I'm gonna change if you think it's for the best CHORUS I'm gonna change, just wait and see Out of the flames will come a brand new me Nothing remains of the man that are used to be I'm gonna change if you tell me it'll do me good I'm gonna change if you really think I should A whole new body and a whole new face Every little bit of me will be replaced I'm gonna change if you tell me it'll do me good CHORUS I'm gonna change, just wait and see Out of the flames will come a brand new me Nothing remains of the man that are used to be I’m gonna change if it makes you love me more I’m gonna change if it helps unlock your door Oh, I’ll do anything to make you mine But promise that you’ll never gonna change your mind I’m gonna change if it makes you love me more I’m gonna change if it makes you love me more I’m gonna change if it makes you love me more © 2014 Robin Tymm 31st August 2014

Destiny 04:08
lyrics
buy track
There are some lucky folks I guess Who get more than their fair share of happiness But look again and you'll find guys just like me Who spend half of their lives here in misery Because guys just like me we've all met ourselves girls just like you And when you finally leave us the only thing we know how to do CHORUS We drink and we fight and we stay up all night Howling like a wolf at the moon And we think and we cry and we ask ourselves why We're always left alone in our room Is it there in our stars and just the way that we are We can fight it but what good does that do? When destiny has got a plan for me And the plan is that I've gotta lose you There are unlucky folks no doubt Who believe they can change what the Fates have laid out But there's no time and there's no place meant for us When it's been decided that we can't be in love I know a future waiting out there, it's just not happened yet Perhaps you're promised to another boy you've not even met CHORUS I drink and I fight and I stay up all night Howling out my songs at the moon And I think and I cry and I ask myself why I’m always left alone in my room Is it there in our stars and just the way that we are We can fight it but what good does that do? When destiny has got a plan for me And the plan is that I've gotta lose you BRIDGE The path we’re on was chosen from the the moment we were born The sadness comes from not accepting what life has in store CHORUS I drink and I fight and I stay up all night Howling out my songs at the moon And I think and I cry and I ask myself why I’m always left alone in my room Is it there in our stars and just the way that we are We can fight it but what good does that do? When destiny has got a plan for me And the plan is that I've gotta lose you © 2014 Robin Tymm 13th July 2014

Miracle 04:15
lyrics

I’m not asking you to Walk on the water Or turn the water into wine Oh, Lord, I’m gonna need more Than a miracle this time With just some loaves and some fish You feed all those standing in line Save the poor, heal the sick Restore sight to the blind But Lord, I’m gonna need more Than a miracle this time BRIDGE I’ve fallen too far down Beyond all help With nowhere to hide I’d kneel on the floor But I’m gonna need more Than faith and prayer can provide You help the crippled to walk Teach the tongue-tied to talk Give back life When mortal flesh has died Oh, Lord, I’m gonna need more Than a miracle this time Calm the fiercest of storms ‘Cause the locusts to swarm Part the seas ‘til we reach The other side But Lord, I’m gonna need more Than a miracle this time Oh, Lord, I’m gonna need more Than a miracle this time © 2013 Robin Tymm 23rd June 2013

More 03:55

No, I don't want more I've got quite enough There's just no room left in my life For all this stuff So I'm sizing down And I'm shedding weight Then I'm gonna kiss goodbye to this town If it's not too late CHORUS I'm gonna travel light Just one change of clothes Where my next meal is coming from God only knows There's so many things That I just don't use I made a list of what I'd miss If I were to lose You can take my books And my old LPs 'Cause I've got a copy locked away In my memory CHORUS I'm gonna travel light Just one change of clothes Where my next meal is coming from God only knows BRIDGE Yeah, one fine day I'm giving it all away I don't need all this to live If I can't fit it in my pack If I can't carry it on my back I know something's gotta give No, I don't want more I've sure had my fill My legs are aching, feet are sore From climbing up that hill We're fighting gravity We're in a race that no-one wins I'm breaking free To find the feeling that free-wheeling brings CHORUS I'm gonna travel light Just one change of clothes Where my next meal is coming from God only knows © 2015 Robin Tymm 22nd February 2015

Don't Look For Me 03:19
lyrics

I could always tell It would end like this No fond farewell No goodbye kiss Just an empty peg That once held your coat An unmade bed A simple note….it said, CHORUS "I'm gone and you know why We can't go on living out this lie I've had enough, I'm breaking free All out of love, don't look for me" I always knew We weren't meant to be 'Cause I'm wrong for you That’s plain to see No sound is heard Except my silent prayer Your parting words Still hanging in the air….they said, CHORUS "I'm gone and you know why We can't go on living out this lie I've had enough, I'm breaking free All out of love, don't look for me" INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE Then from the dark As clear as day It breaks my heart When I hear you say….you said, CHORUS "I'm gone and you know why We can't go on living out this lie I've had enough, I'm breaking free All out of love, don't look for me" All out of love, don't look for me © 2015 Robin Tymm 6th September 2015

Cast The First Stone 04:46
lyrics

I've made mistakes Show me somebody who ain't I've tried and I've failed And fallen every step of the way With all of my might There are some things I will never get right But I crossed a line And I don’t think you’ll forgive me this time CHORUS I did you wrong I can’t undo what’s been done Find me a man without sin And let him cast the first stone I lost my way This human nature led me astray Now I’m down and I’m out Racked with indecision and doubt We all in the same boat Just trying hard to keep it afloat But we sail the seas on our own And slowly sink, together alone CHORUS I did you wrong I can’t undo what’s been done Find me a man without sin And let him cast the first stone BRIDGE Come on and cast the first stone Is it too late to atone? You all can join in as one And together cast the first stone CHORUS I did you wrong I can’t undo what’s been done Find me a man without sin And let him cast the first stone Cast the first stone © 2013 Robin Tymm 21st January 2013

Truth 04:43
lyrics

It's another Tuesday night, another scarce half-empty bar A man gets up on stage to play a battered steel guitar He sang out every song like he had lived out every line And I watched and wondered how he touched a hardened heart like mine He covered tunes I must’ve heard a hundred times before But he did them in a way I wished he stayed and played some more As he was packing up to go I asked to buy that man a beer I want to know his secret, how’d he make it sound so sincere CHORUS I can’t sing it if I don’t mean every word ‘Cause you might leave here disbelieving what you’ve heard I can’t fake it or I might not make it through So please believe me ‘cause I’m singing you the truth When it was my turn to perform I could’ve sworn the man was gone But I saw him standing by the door as I was starting my first song I thought of every verse and every chorus, every rhyme And how to make those twenty people in the bar really feel this song was mine CHORUS I can’t sing it if I don’t mean every word ‘Cause they might leave here disbelieving what they’ve heard I can’t fake it or I might not make it through So please believe me ‘cause I’m singing you the truth BRIDGE What’s a song worth if it don’t come from the heart? It’s a fine line ‘tween false and genuine, can you tell the two apart? What’s a song worth if it don’t come from deep inside I won’t stand up here before you if I think you think I’ve lied CHORUS I can’t sing it if I don’t mean every word ‘Cause you might leave here disbelieving what you’ve heard I can’t fake it or I might not make it through So please believe me ‘cause I’m singing you the truth © 2015 Robin Tymm 19th September 2015

about

The second instalment in a three album release that also includes "Small" & "Large".
The songs on this album fit into the middle ground between the quieter, acoustic tunes on "Small" and the bigger, noisier arrangements on "Large"....so "Medium" seemed a good title.....they've still mostly got acoustic guitars in the mix, but they've also got drums and electric guitars.
