The Brightest Morning
03:16
|
|||
I’ll say those words
10 times a day
In the evening
Of our summertime
No more waiting then
No more holding in
Saving it till then
The evening of our summertime
Before
The brightest morning

How will you know me
03:32
|
|||
You don’t have to answer me
I’m a dime a dizzy look
Cut out for close encounters
Like you’d read in your nighttime book
I’ve said the things
You hoped to hear
I’ve buttered the bread both sides
Never been a one to fear
A face on close up ride
How will you know me
If you can’t see me
How will you know me
If you can’t hear me
How will you know me
How will you know me
Will you know me
Next time
There will be a something
There’ll be you
And there’ll be me
There’ll be feeling a certain
Close familiarity
You see a smile
You hear laugh
You recognise a voice
A know a frame
But time takes all these things and moire
How will you know me then?
There’ll be you
And there’ll be me
A close familiarity
I force the smile and hold the walls
Shape words to fit the piece
I move the limbs and face about
Convincing all who see
I’ve turned away
Or so it seems
And only tend my keep
But when you finally reach me
It can settle in its own lost deep

Beautiful Dust
03:41
|

What if the stars
And cars
The oceans and hills
The moon
And houses
Were all just
Beautiful dust
What if all these things
Had just grown too huge for us
Now impositions
Making all the rules
Where once it was said
By you
By me
By us
What if the stars
And cars
The oceans and hills
The moon
And houses
Were all just
Beautiful dust
I love to gaze up high
I love to drive real fast
I love to dive deep in
And climb up hillsides
I needs shelter from storms
And from the night
And I like to watch the moon
Mocking in her flight
But what if all of this
Was nothing more
Than only beautiful dust

Paper Wings
03:21
|
|||
You’re a fly away girl
Caught up in the wind
Oh
Where will it take you
And you close your eyes
Breathe in the sunlight
You’re turning grey to gold
You watch him near
And wonder if he’s thinking
That
You look beautiful
You close your eyes
And wonder if he’s thinking
That …
All I’m trying to do is survive
So I build these paper wings
All I’m trying to do is believe
So I build those paper wings
Oh I’m trying
Oh I’m trying
I build these paper wings
And hope that I can fly.
He’s a rock steady boy
But you’re in his gaze
Oh where will you take him
And he knows you’re free
Breathing in the sunlight
Can you turn his grey to gold
See him come near
And wonder if he’s
Thinking that you’re beautiful

Very few words
02:50
|
|||
Did you feel my pulse rising
Did you see my colour coming up
Did you realise I stood in front of you
And I noticed you there
I noticed you there
And we spoke very few words
But enough
|

I drove non-stop
Through a night of rain and thunder
In a rattling old ute
That belonged to my old man
Nothing could keep me away from you
A mother takes the handlebars
Smallest wheels and rider
No control
Brother says look mum
See how I ride
I’m on a downhill run
And it’s all mine
Young blood with a word to make
Passes a ball on the bitumen
Dreaming one day
See me on the big screen
Like the girls we cheered along
Can it be mine
Nothing could keep me away from you
Nothing could keep me away
ANother ramble where time’s connection’s lost
But the striving
It’s a constant
And winning you back
Fills my mind
Nothing could take me away from you
I drove non-stop through a night
Of rain and thunder
Nothing could keep me away
From you

I Know You
03:27
|
|||
I don’t wanna
Put another nail in the lid of the box
Where we kept our desires
You come back to me
Sometime soon
Scooping froth
Round the cup rim
Teaspoon poised for a thought
Laughter peels from the fire
Look sideways
A safety smile
Shake your head and look away
She’s eloquent but a liar
You come back to me
Sometime soon
You come back to me
Sometime soon.
Dipping in
With a toe
Get the temperature
Catch the eyes
Of a babe watching
Dive right in
Flick the hair on exit
I know you
I know you
You
You
You
You
I know you
You
You
I’ve been waiting
For eons babe
I’ve been waiting
For eons babe
For eons babe
For eons
Babe

Your Instrument
03:12
|
|||
I’ll be beside
I’ll be over
I’ll be above
I’ll be under
I’ll be your right time
I’ll be your round tuit
I’ll be your instrument
I’ll be your tight grip
I’ll be your yielding heart
And plastic mind
I’ll be your instrument
It’s one of those days
I wish I had some pockets
To put my hands in
I don’t wanna talk at all
Too many words I’ve said
Most of them in vain
I sat down in the churchyard for a spell
Brought my knees up close
Rested my eyes
Escaped to nowhere
For a little time
While I wait
While I wait for you
Youuuuu Ooooooh
Ooooooh aaaaaaaaah
Play me any way you want
Play me
Any way you want

Lonely Spirit Girl
03:24
|
|||
It’s time someone let me in
No it can’t be that hard
He can see
He can look
I can tell he can feel
He’s very warm
I just have to reach in
And reach out
And hopefully he’ll reach back
It’s time to try
Ahh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh
Can you feel me
Can you see me
Can you hear me
Can you feel me
Can you feel me
Can you feel me
Ohhhh oooohhh oohhhh ohh
A lonely spirit girl
Climbed in to the car
If a flesh and blood boy
He didn’t know she was there at all
Her senses were on fire
She could feel him inside and out
A lonely spirit girl
Climbed in to the car
If a flesh and blood boy
He didn’t know she was there at all
Her senses were on fire
She could feel him sure as a fist
Ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh
I’ll make you feel me
I’ll make you see me
I’ll make you hear me
I’ll make you feel me
I’ll make you feel me
Ohhhh ohhhhh ohh ohh ohh
Ohhhhhh ohhh ohh ohh
Hello said the flesh and blood boy
I know you’re there
Hello
I know you’re there

Second Last Words
03:06
|
|||
It’s something foreboding
That I can’t quite see
I no longer need
The surety of mailboxes
I no longer see
Dark ways and demons
Once I was crying out bereft
Multi-lane traffic lights
Where I wept
Lack of last words
And second last words
Kept me awake
All night
I thought I didn’t need
The surety
Of you
