Overnighter ------------------ It's an overnighter morning Going to bring down the day Gonna get on my scoot and be on my way ------------------ I'm going as the crow flies Straight as a die Gonna leave my vapour trails all across the sky ------------------ Well I'm strapped to my motor Turn the taps up full Got the call of the wild, got to feel the pull ----------------- Gonna ride until I find the emerald city Gonna ride until I melt into the sun ----------------- CC Rider won't you ride with me Put your arms around me and we'll always be free ------------------ Gonna ride upon the lightening Gonna spend all our cash Gonna come with a bang and be gone in a flash ------------------- It's an overnighter morning Push your electric start You know it's good for you and good for my heart ---------------- Gonna ride until i find the emerald city Gonna ride until i melt into the sun

Gypsy Man ---------------- Gypsy Man, Gypsy Man Won't you tell me where you're going Gypsy Man, Gypsy Man All your blues are showing -------------------------- Standing here today I fear you're gone All those words you saying But I believe it won't be long --------------------------- 'til the days come rolling by 'til the days come rolling by --------------------------- Gypsy Man, Gypsy Man Won't you tell me where you're going Gypsy Man, Gypsy Man All your dreams are showing -------------------------- Never had an answer all my days But someone blocked out my rage Never had an answer gone 'til the summer came down with the dawn -------------------------- Gypsy Man, Gypsy Man Won't you tell me where you're going Gypsy Man, Gypsy Man Tell me all the nightmares are going

Again and Again 06:31

Again and Again -------------------- Take your tears and make an ocean And watch me drown here by your side I'm not ready to go sailing I just came in on the tide --------------------- I'm not ready for your altar Or even to be your only friend We're too close now but only for the rain Again and again and again --------------------- And sadness don't you leave me All those shades of silent blue If only love tomorrow And taste the morning dew (And i will too) --------------------- And I'm not ready to fight the weather Which leads me on to part the sea I can only be here and pray to stop the rain Again and again and again -------------------------- Take your tears and swim the ocean I'll wave goodbye here from the shore And though i hate to see you drowning I can't save you anymore -------------------------- The tides will turn and you'll flow back to me I am your only friend And i will know the words that will cry away the rain Again and again and again

Fractured Boulevard ---------------------------- Homespun and on the run From this country town There's no madness like nomadness When the chips are down ----------------------- When you feature in the local rags You know it's time to pack your bags My future lies on the cards And on the road to ------------------ Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road yeah ------------------ I chanced upon a Wiseman teaching his shadow and smoking tea He sat beneath an apple that had fallen from a lemon tree ------------------ He said "I'd sell you some gravity But it don't belong to me" And with the weight of his words set free He accompanied me to ------------------ Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road Fractured Boulevard Walking down that road yeah ------------------ We travelled and unravelled On our way to the golden lights The signs by the roadside screaming Wrong way right --------------------- And when we reached the city square There was nobody nothing there The store fronts shiny and hard Showed The Boulevards façade At Fractured Boulevard

Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain ------------------------------------------------------ An evil wind is pecking at the shore tonight Frangipani lies sickly on the air Hung over in this picture perfect wasteland Walk beside me, I need to have you there -------------------- Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain Clouds of ash make it hard to breathe Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain Give me one last blast of sunshine 'fore i leave ------------------- Life is cold spring inner comfort Hope is coiled to pounce until you die I wish you all the best with your projects Patience is your friend, I don't know why? ----------------------------- Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain Clouds of ash make it hard to breathe Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain Give me one last blast of sunshine 'fore i leave ------------------- As far as I know you'll be leaving On the next train out of here to Timbuktu Left me here to balance on a pinhead Crying for the turning of the screw -------------------- You and me were meant to be together But this disease of one will finally catch us all And make us search inside for the season To disconnect before the curtain call --------------------- Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain Clouds of ash make it hard to breathe Feeling old in the shadow of the mountain Give me one last blast of sunshine 'fore i leave

Diamantina Dreaming ---------------------------- Nine to five Sure don't feel alive There's someplace else we got to be Stop the clock Get ready to rock And roll our way outta here --------------- Let's get back to ourselves to find Diamantina dreaming on our minds ------------ Let's walkabout up the creek We can go for miles and never speak Throw a line and catch a conversation Dreamtime stories of creation -------------- No matter what we say or do River come back to you Timeless land of dust and a million flies We can leave it all behind And never say goodbye Diamantina Dreaming on our minds --------------------- Fishing and wishing up the creek What those trees would say if they could speak Cast a line, castaway with me You can be what the hell you wanna be ----------------- Waterhole of life Form a ring around our lives Take us from this delta world of pain And we can never leave If we never say goodbye Diamantina Dreaming on our minds ---------------- Muddy river run Run from dirt to blue Reflecting back the sun Slow moving highway passing through -------------------------- Nine to five Sure don't feel alive There's someplace else we got to be Stop the clock Get ready to rock And roll our way outta here --------------- No matter what we say or do River come back to you Timeless land of dust and a million flies You can leave it all behind And never say goodbye Diamantina Dreaming on our minds

Sandy Denny will destroy you —————————————— You always take your fists to a knife fight You never end your night in pure daylight And the solemn promises you break Will forsake and rain down on you There’s a darkness in everything you say and all that you do And Sandy Denny will destroy you ———————————— Yes she will Yes she will She will kill that voice deep inside of you —————————————- You say nothing good could ever come down to save you And I’m not sent by the angels to good behave you Those bad things you spread round lost and found can never protect you There’s just no easy way to be strong and true But Sandy Denny will destroy you ——————————————- Yes she will Yes she will She will kill that voice deep inside of you ————————————————- Beauty in a golden cage Sing to me Sing for me Songs from a golden age Bring to me Bring for me Power from the heavenly blue And Sandy Denny will destroy you ———————————————— Scared little baby standing lonely in the spotlight Scared little baby lonely round about midnight Those words that you sing won’t save your low down and dirty blues There’s just no easy way to get this message to you And Sandy Denny will destroy you ———————————- Yes she will Yes she will She will kill that voice deep inside of you ————————————— Beauty in a golden cage Songs from a golden age Power from the heavenly blue And Sandy Denny will destroy you

And Be on Your Way -------------------------- Midnight Thinking About you and I cannot get to sleep ------------- Daylight Creeping Across the blinds I know that I'm in deep ----------------- And if you want to hurt me I know you know just what to say There has to be a better way For me For you to stay ------------------ And i know you've got your reasons So leave me here in solitude Never more to intrude And be On your way On your way
