LOVE
love love love love
love gets up early and makes you coffee
sets it all nicely on a white paper doily
love doesn't care when you empty it's wallet
love holds back your hair and cleans up your vomit
love goes back to the store, retrieves things forgotten
love calls to check in, see how you're going
love sweet love love love
love's the magic elf who cleans up your mess
those two minute noodles strewn all over your desk
love carries you far, up a hill as a treat
when you can't walk a step from the ache in your feet
love ain't glamour, glitz, diamonds or pearls
it's a messy, committed, wonderful girl
love can last years cleaning a baby's secretions
and love is returned via screaming affections
But Love always wakes and joins in your commotions
love can get tired but it's full of devotion
love ain't glamour, glitz, diamonds or pearls
it's a messy, committed, wonderful girl
love ain't glamour, glitz, diamonds or pearls
it's a messy, committed, wonderful girl
sweet love

One Day of Silence

ONE DAY OF SILENCE
One day of silence and I know something’s wrong
normal pattern of behaviour is gone
one day vacant can tell anymore
and this leaves me emotionally row
I can feel it, I can sense it
don't believe it, but i meant it
where do I start, I broke your heart
I did my best, But I left a mess
I can feel it, I can sense it
don't believe it, but I meant it
broken strings can't stop this song
release these thoughts i must go on
one day of silence and i know something’s wrong
those words came out a little too strong
I can feel it I can sense it
don't believe it but i said it
where do i start I broke your heart
I did my best But I left a mess

BEAUTIFUL HINDSIGHT
If i'm honest to myself
i never told you the truth
i guess i lied to myself
i guess i only needed proof
it's alright we learnt some things along the way
it's alright now there's nothing left to say
so take your shoes off relax
sit with me for a while
it's been a long day i know
i would die to see you smile
you look so beautiful tonight
but it's all beautiful in hindsight
it's alright we learnt some things along the way
it's alright now there's nothing left to say
so take your shoes off relax
sit with me for a while
it's been a long day i know
i would die to see you smile
you look so beautiful tonight
but it's all beautiful in hindsight
and i still love you my girl
and so it hurts to have to leave

Like a River

LIKE A RIVER
the river flows wide and fast
the current pulls at the shore
it's flowing the the one direction
and it's never quite the same as before
Taken by the under toe
it's taking you back to the source
you're finding it hard to breath now
but babe let it run it's course
Burdened with the weight of the world
you question everything that you know
girl you gotta try and believe yeh
babe you gotta go with the flow
Water can wash away
the worries that will make you ache
water will ease your mind
so girl just take a break
if patience is all we can do
then you're still looking for proof
but take it from me it's the truth
Taken by the under toe
it's taking you back to the source
you're finding it hard to breath now
but babe let it run it's course
Life can be your friend
you just gotta learn to let go
life can make ammends yeh
but girl you gotta go with the flow
if patience is all we can do
then you're still looking for proof
but take it from me it's the truth

OCEANS OF ANGELS
i float like a leaf
in this clear water
and i drift along in this clear blue
I feel at ease now that i'm swimming
I feel no fear now i am swimming
Oceans of angels
Oceans of angels
Oceans of angels
Oceans of angels
i feel at ease now that I’m swimming
I feel alive now I am swimming
oceans of angels
are swimming beside me
cute little fishes
are swimming beside me
I feel at ease now that i’m strumming
my voice is clear now that i’m singing
Oceans of angels
Oceans of angels
are swimming beside me
are swimming beside me

JUST THE WAY
I got this feeling that i really didn't
mean what i wanted to say
and if i said it then i meant it
just forget it girl it's not the way
I might believe it if i see it girl
show me that you want me to stay
oh it's not the way
I got this feeling from the people that i love
and from the people that i know
that they never understood me
but they couldn't stand to leave me alone
you might believe it if you say it to me
tell me that i needed to go
oh it's just the way
she let him go
long ago
he let her go
long ago
and well it isn't necessary but i'm wary
of the battle ahead
and she wanted to protect it,
to perfect it so she hid it away
i might believe it if i see it girl
show me that you want me to-
stay and i'll stay for a year
until i get lost
and leave you again
oh it's just the way

BE LIKE THIS
Ten years with no parole
i'm on the eve of my release
and no idea what to do
i just need a little peace
Grab that pen, clench that fist
try write down what's on that list
of things to do, debts to pay
but things keep getting in the way
Be like this, act like that
you have to be somebody good
they say but i don’t know
no idea who that guy is
And i'm sitting here tonight
Trying to figure out this thing called life
cuz i've been thinking bout the future
trying to sort out this wrong from right
In the end we're going to die
so we think of things to do
we try pretend to build a life
to fill that space b'tween now and then

ON THE MOVE AGAIN
Just got back from three months off
done nothing all day so i'm bored
and a little bit tired
Just five days back got itchy feet
Seems i got that dang old travel bug
I wish they'd find a cure
ooooohh i wish they'd find a cure
Oceans wide so clear and so pure
Just two weeks left until i'm gone
Seems i'm gonna be on the move again
drifting like the sand
Just sat down got two feet up
Seems i'm gonna be on the move again
drifting like the sand
i hope you understand

OLD WITCH
An old witch lives next door
she likes to spend her time
preparing magic spells and potions
she dreams of day's gone by
there were no aeroplanes
she used a broom to cross the oceans
I'm sure she thinks about
the way things change
I watch her count away the hours
and as the years go by
I sure have changed
But she keeps watering the flowers
One day to my surprise
she takes her mobile phone
and sends a message to her cousin
I just laugh and smile
but i don't mind
I know the times they are changing
I search for my cell phone
to text my children
they don't reply cuz they're with friends
I just laugh and sigh
but i don't mind
cuz they'll turn out right in the end
An old witch lives next door
she likes to spend her time
preparing magic spells and potions
she dreams of day's gone by
there were no aeroplanes
she used a broom to cross the oceans
I'm sure she thinks about
the way things change
I watch her count away the hours
and as the years go by
I sure have changed
But she keeps watering those damn flowers

MEMORIES AND MOMENTS
I wander past the flower shop at noon
the orchids they are blooming once again
such beautiful colours this year
draws my mind's attention to you
get home from work, swichin on the radio
the classics are playin once again
sound of dean martin gets me dancing
but hey i learnt these moves from you
so tonight i'm a cooking up a soup
the smell so rich it waters up the eyes
then i sorta got a thinkin
well i learned this recipe from you
all throughout my day, there's fragrances and colours
there's memories and sounds, there's places and there are moments
and they all trace back to you
i am who i am because of you dad
i am who i am because of you
and even though we are miles apart
i keep you here in my heart

TRINA
It's 10 o'clock my eyes are burning
I have my arm across my head
The light above me feels just so strong
the time has come to go to bed
Trina - let me go to sleep
Trina - let me go to bed
You're still chatting like it's midday
You're still buzzing round the room
meanwhile I'm dying
I need some sleep and very soon
Tomorrow morning come I know it comes too soon
Weary souls begin their day of toil, weary to the bone
Now I'm sure they'll all regret the night before
doesn't matter now, they'll suffer all the more
Trina - let me go to sleep
Trina - let me go to bed
the hour has come for me to retire
Eleven thirty to be precise
still you’re talking under water
I just want to shut these eyes
Trina - let me go to sleep
Trina - let me go to bed
Trina - I know you really love me
but let me go to bed
