Stay With Me

a beautiful day, a beautiful way
colours in the sky, colours in your eyes
saw you there, wind in your hair
looking out to sea, fanaticising free
just like me
free
your just like me
walked into the sun, walked into the heat
taking out time for us to meet
step into the café, thinking 'bout the new way
thinking bout things that soon will come
days in the sun
come
our days as one

stay with me
I really want you to
stay with me
really want you to stay, for another day

I know you from a place before
another time, on a distant shore
then she turned and smiled at me
Here we go serendipity
somehow
we're crossing paths right now
can this be?
you expecting me?

stay with me.....

when you look and smile so bright
In the sunshine and the moonless night
Imagining the words to say
I'm not lonely I have you today
somehow
we're crossing paths right now
can this be?
you expecting me?

stay with me.....

Red Mud Mine

I’m breaking my back in the burning sun
Doing my best just to get things done
Sweat like steel and feel the pain
Make good time, I can beat the rain
Can’t see no start, can’t see no end
Don’t try too hard, it may never end

Don’t you know, (there’s) nowhere to go
Can’t you see it’s up to me?
My body’s burning, my heading is hurting
I want to break these chains on me

Hottest days, they take their toll
Dusty land, I’m a broken soul
All this work we did today
Packed in trucks and shipped away
Where it goes, don’t care for me
To places I will never see

Don’t you know, (there’s) nowhere to go...


Then the rain came and washed it away
All this red dirt we dug up today
Turning ore into mud and to clay
Nothing we do will be here to stay.

Sun is out and the heat is on
Make the most while the rain is gone
Way out here this ore is gold
In a land that never feels the cold
This desert makes me feel alive
It’s better than doing that nine to five

Don’t you know, (there’s) nowhere to go...

With You Always

I caught your face in the fading light
I know it’s you cause it feels alright
all the night, you’ll be by my side
I’ll keep you safe from the rising tide
And I’ll hold your hand all your days
you’ll find it touches and stays.

I’m with you now
I’m with you always
you have my heart
you have it always
you have my life
you had it always
I’m always by your side.

I touched your hand and I can see you smile
You know I’m here, so just wait a while
Tonight is ours, till the evening’s end
And in the morning we can start again
And I’ll be with you all your days
to take your heart if it strays

I’m with you now....

Weirder than the Magazines

Heading down the highway, California 101
Dodging all the traffic, bouncing round in the midday sun
They're on the road to nowhere, it's plain to see
funky people in this funky land, such curiosity.
Ooh it does my head in man
Watching all the crazy scenes is weirder than the magazines

Then we flew to Nashville, tried to find the promised land
Want to find where I belong, will they take me by the hand?
Everyone is making music, no room for you.
Take your turn in the street parade, they will call on out for you
Ooh it does my head in man.
Watching all the crazy scenes is weirder than the magazines

So we go to Vegas, on the beach with the desert sand.
All the pretty lights are there, and the girls with their wealthy man
all the cons with their strange behaviour, you're not alone
strangest things I ever seen, so different from my home.
Ooh it does my head in man
Watching all the crazy scenes is weirder than the magazines.

So we go to Frisco Bay, such a sight that we can see
All the hippy doods are there in their town of liberty
Smoking all that weed from somewhere, you want some too?
Said “no man, I'll be right, but I might get back to you.”
Ooh it does my head in man.
Watching all the crazy scenes is weirder than the magazines.
Watching all the crazy scenes is weirder than the magazines.

Fortunes Of the Ghosts

1883
Gold from southland called for me.
set our course from London town
Heading for this goldrush ground
laughing as we set the sails
Talk of fortunes filled our tales
Round the cape and heading south
cold that grips your ears and mouth
we left behind us all we knew
promise of our fortunes grew

And the wise men say
no passage here will find your way
Fortunes of the ghosts are trapped in time
They're waiting here till the end of time

Six weeks sailing southward bound
Caution when the breakers sound
Drifting where the see will take
We gamble all on fortunes fate
Searching through these eyes that ache
Trust the sextant, no mistake
And will the land we're looking for
Have goldmines on that foreign shore

Timber cracks and water flows
This boat is sinking, losing souls
Your nightmare in the dark
As this ship falls apart
This voyage ends where no-one knows

The 1880's so they say
a different world we have today
Pilgrims came from worlds away
To lose their life at sea this way
On Wooden ships in water cold
They never got to find their gold
Lost without a single trace
No record of them knows their face
But their souls still sail in the dark
On ships that long since fell apart

Find My Soul

Wanna find my soul again
Wanna find my living end
This place where I belong
This place where I came from
Gunna get down to that place
Wanna pack my bags and leave this race
leave this race

This place it calls for me
not just curiosity
want my life back here again
Is it ever gonna be the same?
Gonna get down to that place
Wanna pack my bags and leave this race
leave this race

Why did this is have to be?
My soul plays trickery
Inside you mess with fire
Just to satisfy your desire
Gonna get down to that place
Gonna pack my bags and leave this race
leave this race

Time is Over to You

Time is over to you
in time your dreams will come true
Time is on your side
Moves through the wind and the tide

My time is your time your time is my time
This time is our time, our time is this time
Clock has stopped for us to meet, this mystery of time defeat
take a chance, find romance, living in a time warp dance

Time is over to you....

time has come for us to see everything we want it to be
time is here, time is now, our future’s past has met somehow
Come with me, we're be locked in time forever more make history rhyme
Lose yourself in this mystery
endless time for you and me

Time is over to you....

clock has stopped, we can make a start,
this place of time you follow your heart
without a need for time of day, we'll find it here,
our right of way
Time moves in a mystery, live this life of fantasy
ooh, this place I knew
I'll take you through, just me and you

Where Did She Go?

she came dancing across the water
with her heart held in her hand
Looking for her new world
a place to understand

On the shore there lie an old friend
She knew him long ago
In her heart she wondered
places she could go

A broken past behind her
She took solice for a while
Never let the past get in
Behind a simple smile

Ooh, where did she go?
Ooh, I’d really like to know
Ooh, where could she be?
Such mystery in me.

So many years before her
she found her way once more
A new life just beginning
a place on a foreign shore

But she left without a warning
Though I never knew just why
Life without a heart complete
Forever to deny
But I know she still within me
and I love her till this day
I still can’t remember when
Or how we lost our way

Ooh, where did she go?
Ooh, I’d really like to know
Ooh, where could she be?
Such mystery in me.

Far Away

If the land were the sea and the sea were the land
I would
Take your hand across the blue coloured sand
Just to see you
Just to be with you
Just to close my eyes and know I'm near to you

Though you're far away
I'm with you every day
Reaching out across the sea
Beneath the southern stars
I'm calling from afar
Are you thinking thoughts of me?

If I could take all the days that we spent together
Place them all in a row
I would build a bridge across the water and stormy weather
Take this path home to you

Though you're far away...

And in the evening when the sun has settled down
My dreams are coloured in by you
I know I'll see you there
You're with me everywhere
Doing things we used to do

Though you're far away...
