LOVE AND RAIN Run through the Night and reach for the stars flowers in your hair sparkles in your eyes love and rain Escape to the sun and sing to the world hold out a hand now we can run Love and rain its up you just think about her and be clear Love and rain Love and rain Love and rain its up you just think about her and be clear Love and rain Love and rain Love and rain But where to go Where to think about a life when your heart is alone you can only be at home Love and Rain Can see a light I hear music all around its blown my mind sweet solitude Love and rain Its up you just think about her and be clear Love and rain Love and rain Love and rain

California Sky Out here on the coast I’m feeling free and getting high Looking at the sea and the California sky Moving past the rollers Passing the runners by Looking at the shadows under the California sky Sky ……………… Under the California sky Up to Sunset Boulevard Coffee at the bar Looking at the people Wonder who they are Then onto the Beverly hills Traffic rolling by and I’m just happy being under the California sky Sky……….. Under the California sky Such lovely place to be Days are warm and long Sitting in the sun Is just where I belong Sun is setting slowly for no reason why Im just happy being Under a California sky Sky……… Under the California sky

The Words I Did Not Hear - Martin Valins Shoot an arrow And wait for it to fly talk to no-one and then wonder why Walking the streets to see who stands and stares Don’t talk to strangers and wonder who is there Give me a reason You walked away from here Just one reason For the words I did not hear Find the night train and look into your mind find the right frame and see what you will find Look around you open up your mind out on the inside a treasure that is mine Give me a reason You walked away from here Just one reason For the words I did not hear Instrumental Take in the morning and let the darkness go welcome the future its all e have to know Give me a reason You walked away from here Just one reason For the words I did not hear Shoot an arrow And wait for it to fly talk to no-one and then wonder why ©2016martinvalinsmusic

The Perfect Prize Martin Valins Got up late and took to train to London Town Coffee on my knee Looking out the window it looked so grey Was this reality? Would she be there at the station Or was I to be alone? Will she let me down like the last time Will she take me back home? Every time I try I to be around And now I wonder why She must know I love and our fate is bound So please let me try Sipping my coffee trying not to spill Like the love I washed away By my side are people they look tired From working every day Train pulls into the station I walk outside I look around for her There a hand on my shoulder and a kiss on my cheek after all my love is there She helps with my bags and we get into her car I look into her eyes Driving through the streets I touch her face Her love is the perfect prize ©2016 martinvalinsmusic

about

In From The Outside. The follow up to Floating with a little more experimentation - You can begin to hear influences from India which come into sharper focus on later albums with the first track Indian Summer. For the single The Perfect Prize “I have always loved the music of Squeeze and wanted to write a song in that genre. Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford had a way with combining catchy melodies with lyrics that were self contained stories that included an attention to the detail of the mundane” - From this inspiration came The Perfect Prize.
