Australian Lady 05:05

Australian Lady --------------------- She shone on those golden shores He was down for a while In her eyes he saw the sun rising there He was going nowhere ----------- He was going nowhere ----------- She ran laughing through the waves They were alone as the sun kissed the sea They lay and counted the clouds They walked for miles hugging the sea ------------------------ Australian lady Australian shores She was a jewel Black diamond for sure Australian lady Wide brown land She drew his heart On the beach in the sand --------------------------- He was down from a place faraway To see some old friends that he knew from school She was a bargain his feelings could never buy He saw her there and he felt like a fool ------------------------ He felt like a fool ------------------------ She turned his night-time into day Then came the time when he was alone The sea was calling, calling out her name The sun set on him a long way from home ---------------------------- Australian lady Australian shores She was a jewel Black diamond for sure Australian lady Great southern land She threw his love All over the sand --------------------------- Australian lady Australian shores Down by the pool Black diamond so cool Australian lady Gondwana land A shiny ring of gold He asked for her hand ------------------------- Australian Lady Australian Lady Australian shores

Aura Blue 03:18

Aura Blue -------------- Aura blue Hands of fire touching you Aura blue Angels fly high over you In formation Love elation Words unspoken between us Birdsong in the air between us Upward ever upward to the heavens Roll the dice in this game of six and sevens Godspeed in your rocket Deep dreams in your pocket Into the never-ending blue Aura blue Aura blue Elijah's eyes watching over you Aura blue Mountains laid out in front of you In formation Border nation Words draw a line between us Rising in the air between us Oh lord, help me rise above this dry river of pain It twists and turns and only the scars remain Vague cosmology Sage mythology Connect the lines of you to me Aura blue Aura blue

Amazed and in love -------------------------- My love She don't do lonely She is the only Child of the light ----------------- And my love She shines like silver I could never give her enough ------------- And maybe I’ll get over her tomorrow And maybe I’ll get back her some how And maybe When she feels a little lazy She'll forget she locked me out For being hazy crazy In love ---------------- Amazed and in love -------------- And my love Is the northern star So near and far Away from me -------------- And my love She comes in waves She always saves A little part of me ---------------- And maybe I’ll get over her tomorrow And maybe I’ll get back her some how And maybe When she feels a little lazy She'll forget she locked me out For being hazy crazy In love ---------------- Amazed and in love -------------- And maybe tomorrow She will see And learn to be ---------------- Amazed and in love

Sweet Bella Rainbow 04:25

Sweet Bella Rainbow ----------------------------- My Sweet Bella Rainbow The ring of your laughter I shaped this song after That sparkle in your eye When we said goodbye And playing in the park until dark I carry your colours in my heart When we are apart Pretty memories of you I'll stay to watch you grow My Sweet Bella Rainbow My name it means kindness And I shine it wherever I can Your father he defined me My truth lies buried in the sand And at the end of the path I see nothing ... Nothing... Hide and seek I will surely find Look behind you My Tinker bell pixie Plastic Flowers... And a diamond cut mind The fairy-tale is true if you believe it There's no story book ending here without you Just pray you'll always know My Sweet Bella Rainbow My sweet Bella Rainbow The curve of your lovely smile Knows no time or trial Cut Fresh as the morning Blooming inside while outside it's still yawning We'll venture down again, down Blaker lane You'll carry your sunshine in your hand Sadness left below buried in the sand Remember this time in rose-coloured glow Bella Rainbow My Sweet Bella Rainbow Bella Rainbow My Sweet Bella Rainbow

Reborn 04:34
lyrics

Reborn ----------- I woke up this morning with the sunshine tugging at my sleeve “Say, get on up there boy, don’t you know It’s time for you to leave” It’s time for me to leave Head out past the rows of corn flattened in the fields Are they aliens who decide when it’s time for them to yield? When it’s time for you to yield Rising, Rising, Rising on the dawn Riding, Riding, Ride to be reborn Time to hit the road those signs full of bullet holes Where the dirt runs into tarmac Highway’s full of empty souls Time to empty out my soul She was wearing black and a cold dark widows face Could have been in wintertime or any other place Tried to crawl back in that space Rising, Rising, Rising on the dawn Riding, Riding, Ride to be reborn He was still in the picture Lying face down on her shelf I stooped down low and kissed her She asked about my health And she just couldn’t see Just wouldn’t see That cheap home sweet home embroidery Once belonged to her and me   And then I took advantage of the loss that she laid out Her life a hand of cards that were finally all played out She tried so hard to do without She stood at the front door and begged me not to leave Now she’s twisting at my heart strings and tugging at my sleeve All those things you can’t believe Rising, Rising, Rising on the dawn Riding, Riding, Ride to be reborn

Miles to Go Before I Sleep 04:10

Miles to Go Before I Sleep ------------------------------------ Black carrion bird casts a shadow His Wings folding over the sun I feel just like I’m being hunted And there’s nowhere left for me to run There's a black pool of sad emotion Dark waters still, wide, and deep I could slide forever 'Neath the surface and hide But there's miles to go before I sleep Miles to go before I sleep I am wading my way through this field of regrets Wending my way through these secrets I keep So hollow and strange, make my life rearrange But there's miles to go before I sleep Here I come and there I go Miles to go before I sleep Here I come and there I go Miles to go before I sleep Black bird sings over the horizon No love in his bounty hunter eyes for me There's a chill in the air that freezes my bones Nameless and shapeless it won't leave me alone And you are out there at “The End”, I suppose Your image is faded treasure I keep I can search or stand still, with no time left to kill But there's miles to go before I sleep Miles to go before I sleep Here I come and there I go Miles to go before I sleep

Heart of Elysian 04:48
lyrics

Heart of Elysian ---------------------- The sky is a brooding undertaker And you feel a little closer to the maker And I never wanted you to see This life of mine folding over me And emptying this heart of Elysian That sweat upon your brow Is drinking in the morning dew Bet you never knew What loving me could do Emptying this heart of Elysian Take me driving uptown Riding on slipstream air Riding uptown Salty breeze in your hair Who knew it would end? Emptying this heart of Elysian If I ever got to heaven and stood outside the gate Would you meet me at the altar, or would you make me wait? Your answer makes me wonder why When I think of times gone by Emptying the heart of Elysian So, hold hard to your virtue and spin the gambling wheel Love isn’t in the cards it’s just the way you used to feel Now when the light has faded And everyone has left the bar We are driving home in your car Take me driving uptown Riding on slipstream air Driving uptown Salty breeze in your hair Who knew it would end? Emptying the heart of Elysian

Water Wheel ------------------ Death has no sting No sting No fear can hold you To the ever turning wheel Water wheel of life ------------ Follow the light To the end of the passing Of time Of time alone Ever turning wheel Water wheel of life --------------- Memory is an empty chamber Taste of cordite on your lips A life not lived is no life at all Falling water fall Falling Calling Is all Is all -------------- Death has no sting No sting No fear can hold you To the ever turning wheel Water wheel of life -------------- I fear you leaving Floating ever further away Fleeting falling shadows Water wheel of life Falling Calling Falling ------------------- Water wheel of life Water wheel of life ------------

Turn out the Light 05:45

Turn out the light ---------------------- The evening's coming your way Leaving the fog on the bay And oh my god it follows you Everywhere you go You can't believe your man could leave In the long day’s afterglow And now you walk the lonely street Looking for a place to begin Searching for a new start But you don't know how you can Love went wrong made you weak not strong And now you've reached the end Your mind's telling you to stay and fight Burn at the edge of your lover's night And i know you can't make this right You're much too afraid to turn out the light You're too afraid to turn out the light Time is moving like that river Moving you further on downstream Still you hold on to the wreckage Hold on to your dream Living in the moment But it's not easy to forget And time slides by so quickly But you can't slow down your pride So you go to the dark end of the street To find a place to hide And I could of told you everything To stop this lonely fight But my wishing can never make it alright You're much too afraid to turn out the light You're too afraid to turn out the light Love doesn't always have to leave Sick of wearing your heart out on your sleeve Home is inside of you, it has never gone away Always take it with you, turn your night-time into the day Love comes to those who are strong And I know you belong And hey, you can finally make it right Say good night and turn out the light

Never Stop Dreaming 04:07
lyrics

Never Stop Dreaming ------------------------------ Take hold of those colours Untie the noose Hold onto salvation Set your feelings loose -------------------- The question is not the answer you wanted But act on it you must When does God forsake the needy You just need a little trust -------------------- My father was a good man Fashioned love from rocks and bone Sometimes the meaning's fractured And goodwill turns to stone I never saw a man more alone --------------------- And all those rivulets and eddy's Wash your life down to the sea As i roll on down the river I'm not half the man he was to me I'm not half the man at all So small He just could not see me -------------------- Never stop dreaming Never stop Never stop dreaming Never stop Until you teach the top ------------------- Believe in those things that make you strong
