Way Home To You
03:32
|

|
No trains on the stage
No Plane in the air
It's a hundred miles to dawn
Got nothin for the fair
No Last drinks to order
No taxis in this rain
I just blew my wages
Like swill down the drain
And I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
Last gas so many miles ago
Nowhere to make a call
I turn up my collar
Middle of nowhere at all
And I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
Creek's all dried up
Heavy cloud, no sign of rain
Got no silver lining
Got empty pockets again
And I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
No room at the inn
No bench in the park
Got no smokes, got no light
There's a shadow in the dark
I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you
I'm making my way home to you

Bound By Love
05:37
|

Come running with me
We'll find all we crave
On the high road run
It's ours to be free
I'm not bound by shackles and chains
I'm bound by love
I'm bound by love
Some bread some ale
Her sweet warm bed
I overslept then dawn
Revealed my fancy spree
I'm not found by losses and gains
I'm found by love
I'm found by love
I'm leaving these dark shores
Bound for Sydney town
My sentence has no end
My story stays untold
I'm not ground in worry and strain
I'm ground in love
I'm ground in love
All I took is all I lack
The judge he said to me
Your liberty is mine
There's no turning back
I'm not bound by shackles and chains
I'm bound by love
I'm bound by love
So fare well lads
Goodbye sweet lass
I shall be gone for now
We'll meet above
I'm not found by losses and gains
I'm found by love
I'm found by love
The ropes cut deep
When the mainsail fills
Those long foggy nights
Are Londonderry dreams
I'm not ground in worry and strain
I'm ground in love
I'm ground in love
No storm can rob me
Of my will to run free
No horizons contain
The last place for me
I'm not bound by shackles and chains
I'm bound by love
I'm bound by love
In journals bound
In the libraries of the free
You can find my tales
Come running with me
I'm not bound by shackles and chains
I'm bound by love
I'm bound by love
I'm not found by losses and gains
I'm found by love
I'm found by love
I'm not ground in worry and strain
I'm ground in love
I'm ground in love
I'm not bound by shackles and chains
I'm bound by love
I'm bound by love

Black ribbons
She wore black ribbons
In her hair
Will he return?
Will he return from nowhere?
The nights are longer
Since he went away
No news from the front
He’s fighting some battle
For traders and pirates
For threats and promises
Of riches untold, for destinies
To unfold in foreign lands
Black ribbons
She wore black ribbons
In her hair
Will he return?
Will he return from nowhere?
The days are harder
Since the war began
No end from the leaders
He’s holding some grudge
For borders and dynasties
For claims and lies
Of stories retold, for skirmishes
To unfold in foreign lands
Black ribbons
She wore black ribbons
In her hair
Will he return?
Will he return from nowhere?
The years grow shorter
Since the news was told
No end to the losses
He’s rekindling some legend
For nations and kings
For empires and families
Of power bequeathed, for rulers
To unfold in foreign lands
Black ribbons
She wore black ribbons
In her hair
Will he return?
Will he return from nowhere?

It's Not Raining
03:17
|
|||
|
It's not raining at the moment
Though it's minus 6 outside
There's a clear blue sky above me
And the sun shines low and bright
There's a magpie on the power line
He's shaking off the frost
His eyes are on the lawn below
Both benefit and cost
But it's not raining
It's not raining
It's not raining
It's not raining
The sky is blue
Sky is blue
Washing's on the clothesline
And it's drain in the sun
The coffee smells of happiness
And the day has just begun
And it's not raining
It's not raining
It's not raining
It's not raining
The sky is blue
Sky is blue
It's not raining at the moment
Though it's minus 6 outside
There's a clear blue sky above me
And the sun shine low and bright
It's not raining
It's not raining
The sky is blue

Black River
04:15
|
|||
|
West wind blows
On cattle plains
Sun bakes hard
On fields of cane
Black river runs
On straight and right
Float me home
To you tonight
Miles drift by
Rapid white flies
Ahead the horizon
Above only sky
Black river runs
On straight and right
Float me home
To you tonight
Radio man calls
On storms coming
Hands on wheels
Keep engine humming
Black river runs
On straight and right
Float me home
To you tonight
Blue burns red
The sun now sinks
Come on boys
It’s last drinks
Black river runs
On straight and right
Float me home
To you tonight
Light stabs dark
Swords of night
Home fires burn
For me
Tonight

Those Were The Times
02:20
|
|||
|
We made love upon the mountain
And we rested in between
Took hostage of our feelings
And we were careful with our dreams
Then, when little else revealed itself
We drifted on the tide
Watched the world go slowly past
As the sunlight turned to night
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the time my friend
Those were the times
We were young
And we were beautiful and
We stayed up til the dawn
Then we fell into the deepest sleep
On someone's perfect lawn
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the time my friend
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the time my friend
Those were the times
She lay upon me
And she gave me love for free
I sweared that I enjoyed it
And she made me lemon tea
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the time my friend
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the times
Those were the time my friend
Those were the times

On The Way
05:43
|

I’ve stolen and lied
I’ve lost and I’ve cried
There’s plenty of times
I’ve not paid for my crimes
I’ve turned and I’ve run
I held the smokin gun
I’ve bluffed and I cheated
So you’ll be defeated
I’ve rolled and then lost
And charged you the cost
I’ve given my word
Then left unheard
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way to where I am
I’ve stalled and denied
Then hoped that you’d died
I’ve made the first call
Then hung up on it all
I’ve taken what’s left
And left you bereft
Ch
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way to where I am
I’ve drunk from your wells
Then damned them to hell
I’ve left you forlorn
And raced off to dawn
I’ve said I’ll commit
Then been first to quit
And now I confess
I love you no less
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way to where I am

So Far Away
03:52
|

|
So far
So Far away
So far
So Far away
The distance between us
Makes longing so short
A thousands tomorrows
Carry our last resort
The time together
Makes moments so dear
A thousands yesterdays
Keep memory so clear
So far
So Far away
So far
So Far away
The days between us
Makes reunion so far
A thousand and one calls
Shout to guiding stars
So far
So Far away
Alone and
So at home
The reasons for staying
Make no sense at all
Songs that they’re playing
Our slow dance calls
So far
So Far away
So far
So Far away

Take Me Out
02:20
|

|
I won't shake my fist at anyone
Take me out til the fighting's done
Wanna keep my hat and have some fun
Take me out til the fighting's done
Won't tip my lid unto your sun
Take me out til the fighting's done
Take me out til the fighting's done
Gonna stand outside that big old bar
Til the dust has cleared
And the fightings done
I don't wanna fight with anyone
I'll stay outside til the fighting's done
Gonna drink that piss til it's all gone
Pick me up when the party's done
Gonna drink corn liquor and have some fun
Pick me up when the party's done
Them good ol boys in the midday sun
Drinking hooch and shooting guns
That just aint my kinda fun
I'll stay here til the shooting's done
Take me out til the fighting's done
Take me out til the fighting's done
Gonna stand outside that big old bar
Til the dust has cleared
And the fightings done
I don't wanna fight with anyone
I'll stay outside til the fighting's done
Take me out til the fighting's done
Take me out til the fighting's done

Today
04:04

The clouds have gone I can see into the blue
I waited for dys and I saw them all through
I knew this moment would always come true
I knew it would always be true
I'm feeling good again
Like it's gonna be my day
I just get this feeling that things are going my way
Today, today
Today is gonna be my day
The storm it passed
From a raindrop it grew
And I took my shelter and kept it in view
I knew the answer would come from this clue
I knew it would always be true
I'm feeling good again
Like it's gonna be my day
I just get this feeling that things are going my way
Today, today
Today is gonna be my day
The years have passed as we always knew
I took my time I had plenty to do
And I knew my companion would always be you
I knew it would always be true
I'm feeling good again
Like it's gonna be my day
I just get this feeling that things are going my way
Today, today
Today is gonna be my day
I'm feeling good again
Like it's gonna be my day
I just get this feeling that things are going my way
Today, today
Today is gonna be my day

Pick Up My Pieces
06:04
|
|||
|
I'm gonna dig out my heels
And start the healing with you
I'm gonna pick up my pieces
And peace them together with you
I'm gonna clean up my patch
And patch things up with you
I'm gonna draw on my well
And make things well with you
I'm gonna get in touch
And touch things up with you
I'm gonna fill in the holes
And make things whole with you
