You are the light and I am the fire
You shine bright, I'm all desire
Oh baby, I'm never satisfied
You play it gentle and I play it rough
You want more, I say enough
Oh baby, I'm never satisfied
You burn golden, like the sun
All that goodness brings me undone
You burn golden like the sun
Things between us I don't understand
Things between us get out of hand
Oh baby, I'm never satisfied
Quiet as the world turns spinning around
Its nothing you can see, you cant pin it down
But baby, I'm never satisfied
When in doubt just be kind that's what I've been told
Figure out what to keep and what to let go
Pare it back to only what is real and true
Then maybe I'll be golden too

Yellow Moonlight

We lit candles in the room and I declared my love-for you
You said Yeah baby come out tonight,
Take you dancing under yellow moonlight, yellow moonlight
Well I liked to party and carry on
He was the jealous kind and I'd done wrong
He'd watch me move, across the floor
Feel his eyes everywhere I'd go
He'd say Yeah baby come out tonight
Take you dancing under yellow moonlight yellow moorillght
He said
"You think I don't see just who you are and where you've been
I know the baby belongs to him, gonna cut him from ear to ear
Make him smile forever like a setting sun
He can pay for whats been done ... you can pray for me"
Buried under, buried deep
Weight of the world my soul to keep
Time passes years go by
We're bound together by this lie
No one knows where the truth it hides
No one see his fathers eyes
Said Yeah baby come out tonight
Take you dancing under yellow moonlight, yellow moonlight
Said Yeah baby come out tonight
Take you dancing under yellow moonlight, yellow moonlight
Buried under, buried deep
Weight of the world my soul keep

Time

All the money in the world wont buy it
Pouring over-me like water falls
If it was a seed I'd plant it
Pour a little water on it, watch it grow
Time keeps on slipping through my fingers
Time, running through my life wont linger
Take your own time
Kid and dog and garden don't do it
Counting down the days 'til the weekend comes
Throw It out and wind it back in
Feels alot like fishing
04. COUNTRY GIRL
Well my Dad he workrfl the land, like his father before
Rising up everyday to the song of the birds
But the birds have all gone, my Dad he has too
I'm a country girl far from home
With an eye to the sky and our backs to the wind
For seven long months we've been praying for rain
But the rain doesn't come, our farms turned to dust
I'm a country girl far from home .
Now I walk the city streets, midst the traffic and noise
While my Mum works her shift at the factory of Ford
And I try to fit in but I do not belong
I'm a country girt far from home
Just like wheat on the plain I will bend with the wind
Like a horse running wild,
there's no fence to keep me in
In my minds eye I fly across a wide open space
I'm a country girl far from home

Water Ran Red
03:05
|
|||
|
Deep in the night the families were sleeping
By Mount Emu Creek where they had made camp
Under the cover of darkness the white men came riding
Fanned out in a line, with the conviction of the righteous
They opened fire shot the families where they lay
Then there was silence and the water ran red
Unknown to the men one woman brave and defiant
Slipped through the trees her first born on her back
She moved like the wind, ran for her life
Ran for her child, to carry on the line
She came to the western boundary of the lake
Heard a rider bearing down
The lake was so deep, so dark and cold
There was no otherway into the water she walked
She moved like the wind, swam for her life
Swam for her child to carry on the line

Eves Garden

Eves garden was tended with love
The fig and the apple tree
Called to the stars above
No one notices, nobody sees
Little things make the world go 'round
just like birds and bees
All the wanting
The wishful thinking
Its all dancing butterflies
Light as air then they disappear
Eves Garden was a half wild thing
She wasn't there to tame it
She was there to make it sing
No one notices, nobody sees
Little things make the world go 'round
just like birds and bees

Nights Falling
03:06
|

I've been searching all my life
Always hungry, like a working dog
Pick up a scent and follow it down
Through scrubby bush and failing farms
And there were caves in there,
High-roofed and dark
It was you who found them.
It was you who knew the land.
Like the back of your hand
Shine a light l'm calling
Getting dark, nights falling
I wonder what you're doing now
I wanted to send you my love
Play you something salt and low
I wonder what you're doing now
It's not like everyone you meet
You can call home
In whom you trust completely,
Right down to the bone
Gentle rain Is falling,
Washing clean and holy
Run my fingerS in the dirt.
I'm yours and you are mine.
Roots down and branches wide

Highway

Highway Running right through my day
Highway Taking my baby away
Blink and you'll miss it, say goodbye and kiss it
Hurry up and get your ticket, soon you're in the thick of it
Highway
Down on the farm where the air is sweet
Don't let the grass grow under your feet
Cos there's a highway
Home sweet home Running through my mind
Home sweet home I like to take my time
Staring out the window, cows are moving real slow
Birds fly through and then go,
Whichever way the wind blows
Home sweet home
Highway Trucks roll by my door
Highway Shaking up the floor
Trees cut down like bowling pins, machinery devouring
What is gone wont be again, its covered up with bitumen
Highway

Love
02:40
|
|||
|
Give and you get it and there's enough to go around
Give it 'cos you want it that kind of giving is unsound
Green is the grass, green is the tree
Green is the envy living in me
Love like a baby is easy to love
No one has the answers hardly anyone gets it right
I don't know much, be gentle and be kind
Struggle it is endless, the water it is deep
Everythings a circle and history repeats
Love like a baby is easy to love
Love like a starry night twinkling above
Love like a bird flying high flying free
Love's going to keep me I'll be released
Give it, get It, let it run around
Find one who thinks he has none, let it all rain down
Call it from your window, catch it on the breeze
Any time you want, you can get it here
Love like a baby is easy to love
Love like a starry night twinkling above

Little birds sing so sweetly
Little birds carry a tune
Little birds may be tiny but
Little birds can fill a room
We've got red robins and little blue wrens
Plain brown sparrows and martins
Sunbirds, weavers, warblers, larks
And this little bird in my heart
This little bird in my heart
Don't you cry now, don't waste your tears
Everything you need you have it here
I was loved so well I was loved so long
Now I'll spread my wings and I'll be gone
Spread my wings and I'll be gone

Slow Dance
03:38
|
|||
|
Love walked in and found me here
Light of my true heart revealed
I call to you I'll send it down the wire
House was burning everything was on fire
Don't stop what you're doing now
House is quiet there's no one around
Slow dance with me spin me around
Heal me touch me breathe me in
Love me again
Some days are unkind and some days are hard
Nothing comes easy and nothing seems to last
I call your name and you’ll appear
Making light of all my fear
