REAL LOVE?
Is this love real love?
Is this love really real?
Is this love real love?
Is this what I really feel?
I took the slow train,
through vineyards
and hills.
So hot in flower city,
until the river’s breeze
Is this a waking dream ,
or is this real?
Is this all hallucination,
or do I feel, what I feel?
Walking the coast path ,
to Rock, but not to roll
Caught the ferry
to the other side,
where I really lost control…

STAINLESS
I thought things
were going fine
When you stepped over
the invisible line
My friends all thought
he was so divine
But I missed,
those obvious signs
Stainless,
Oh! You are so pure
Stainless,
Nothing sticks to you
I thought things
were going fine
But you stepped over
the invisible line
My friends all thought
he was so divine
But I missed all
those obvious signs
Those obvious signs,
the obvious signs,
Those obvious signs!

Whenever I See You

WHENEVER I SEE YOU
When I’m with you,
my heart it jumps,
It goes jump, jump, jump, jump
When I’m with you,
it’s like I’m new
Whenever I see you,
my heart it jumps,
It goes jump, jump, jump, jump
Whenever I see you,
my pulse it pumps,
It goes pump, pump, pump, pump
When I’m with you,
I just feel it’s true
When I’m with you,
it’s like I’m new
But I, can’t, see you
When I need you most
And I, can’t, be with you
It’s like you’re a ghost

EXILE
I don’t know how it came to this, a desertscape, all amiss
I just knew I couldn’t stay, I couldn’t get far enough away
I don’t know how it came to be, a broken dream, such entropy
I just knew I couldn’t stay, I couldn’t get far enough away
So let me love you for a while, and I’ll escape this exile
For you I’d fly across the skies, just to gaze into your eyes
I don’t know how you caused me pain, your distant smile, so arcane
I just knew I couldn’t stay, but I didn’t want to be this far away
Let me love you for a while. Let me love you... for a while

LET THE SUN SHINE DOWN ON YOU
My darling, I know it’s been so long
My darling, since we’ve had some sun
My darling, the warmth is coming soon
My darling, my darling
Let the sun shine through
Let the sun shine down on you
The clouds can fly away
Leave the clear sky today
My darling, I know it’s been so long
My darling, since we’ve had some fun
My darling, good times are coming soon
My darling, my darling, my darling
Let the sun shine through
Let the sun shine down on you
The clouds can fly away
Leave the sun here on you…. today
Let the sun shine down on you
Let the sun shine down today
My darling, I know it’s been so long
My darling, since we’ve had the sun
My darling, the warmth is coming soon
My darling, my darling, my darling
Let the sun shine through
Let the sun shine down on you
The clouds can fly away
Leave the sky, blue, ...today

STEMS
I’ve always known you, but I don’t know when,
from where does it stem?
I’ve felt your touch before, but I don’t know when,
from where does it stem?
I feel I know you, is it the same for you,
do you know me too? Deja vu!
You’ve taken me before, but I don’t know when,
from where does it stem?
I know I’ve loved you,
From where does it stem?

PRECIOUS TO ME
Sometimes I like you,
Sometimes I hate you
Sometimes I want you,
Sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I love you,
Sometimes I crave you
Sometimes I need you,
Sometimes I don’t
All I that I know...Is that
you’re precious to me
You need to know...
You’re precious to me
I need you,
Sometimes you feed me
Sometimes I love you,
Please don’t leave me
Precious, Precious to me…

Love From Afar

LOVE FROM AFAR
You let me go before
You weighed me down
with sorrow
But like a shooting star
I love from afar
I know you’ll never be mine
Lay me down with sorrow
like a shooting star
I love from afar
I’ve wept for you before
I’ll weep for you tomorrow
But you, I must not scar
I love from afar

TREADING SOFTLY
I met a man today
He held me in his gaze
He took me gently by the hand
And said ‘Tread softly on the way’.
I met a girl today
She was a girl with a beautiful face.
This is what I said to her
I said tread softly on your way, tread softly on your way
That man I met today
He was a man with a beautiful grace
This is what he said to me
Tread softly on the way
That girl I met today
She couldn't face another day
I took her gently by the hand
And said tread softly on your way
You know that man I met today
Well there’s something I have to say
I don’t know if he was real
But I tread softly on my way
Treading softly on my way
Softly on the way……
Softly on the way…

The Tide

THE TIDE
The ocean tides are ruled by the moon
Over that we have no sway
But when my days are filled with you
The tide is in all day
Like the moon, we wax and wane
We shine at different times
You shine on me your brightness
I want you to be mine
But our love is shared with others
And will cut them like a knife
One day we’ll be together
But it won’t be in this life
I cannot love another
When already taken
We must go our separate ways
Our love is broken
The ocean tides are ruled by the moon
In that, we have no sway
My days are no longer filled with you
And the tide it doesn’t stay...

SPACE COUNTY (Monaro)
See the vista in space county, wide horizon view
See the sky in space county, Derwent pencil blue
See the pasture in space county, coated with merino
See the mountains in space county, past the angels of Beloko
In, space, in space county, in space county
See the plain in space county, four seasons in a view
See the river in space county, flowing into you
See the trees in space county, poplar spears of gold
See warm springs in space county, like thoughts of you, never cold.
See the space in space county, all is in the view
See the space in space county, space to think of you
In, space, In space county!

MY DESTINATION
My situation, my destination,
my complication, well all of these are you, yeah!
All the things I dream about, day and night,
all about, all about, and all about, are all about you
Earning, yearning, living and learning,
burning, returning, tables are turning
The road not taken is..the road not taken is to you!
Teaming, believing, retrieving, daydreaming,
loving, then leaving, heart on my sleeving
My destination, my destination,
my destination is you!

And So I Whisper

AND SO I WHISPER
I’m looking at the mountains
I’m looking at the sky,
I’m looking at you
And I don’t want to say goodbye
I don’t want to say it out loud,
So I whisper...goodbye.
I’m looking at the ocean
I’m looking at the clouds
I’m looking at you
And I can’t say it out loud,
I don’t want to say it out loud,
So I whisper...goodbye, goodbye.
I’m looking at our time together
Looking at the years,
I’m looking at you
And I can’t stop my tears,
I can’t say it out loud,
So I whisper, goodbye, goodbye.
