That Night
That night
You made my body and my heart feel so right
I'm so glad you suggested to pause
Before we had too much invested
I like the slow way
The 'see you when I see you' hey
I'll hesitate before I know way
Because I think we know we want the same thing
Now I'm here and you're not
When you're not with me's when I get hot
You said you'll be thinking of me tonight
And baby I can almost feel you hold me so tight
Never done it this way before
It's like we're creating a new law
A thousand years honey I been waiting
So I'm not gonna rush it this is so much more exhilarating
Do you remember the day
We went to Crab Creek
We gathered oysters from the rocks
It was your birthday
That mother-of -pearl sunset
And cloud spirits racing across the bay
And…
That night
You made my body and my heart feel so right
And I'm so glad you suggested to pause
Before we had too much invested
I'm feeling loved now
It's when you're with me that you know how
To always do just the right thing
You make my body and my heart and soul sing
You make my body and my heart and soul sing
You make my body and my heart and soul sing
Thank you for the joy you bring
You make my body and my heart and soul sing

The Medicine
You think you can have me
you'd better think again
'cause my heart tell's me lovin's
something that can end
you say you heart's aching
what's the medicine
let me go
find another
you can try again
yeah let me go
find another lover
you can try again
Our years have been loaded
with empty promises and tears
our souls have been trusting
in jealousies and fears
you know I can't stand it
I know you need a friend
so let me go
find another lover
you can try again
Now you say you're downhearted
I know I'm feelin' blue
so darlin' if we parted
then time could heal our wounds
now I know you can't stand it
what's the medicine
let me go
find another lover
you can try again
yeah let me go
and if you don't find another
then we can try again
No! no! no!
Let me go
find another lover
you can try again

Jump Into The River
I met a young man
told me his dream
of fast flowing waters
wetting his feet
Then his mother appeared
she's long since passed away
but the words she pressed through his sleep
still remain
Well that young man knew confusion, doubt, fear
loneliness, despair
well he shook it all off and got clear
said the only thing that matters
is just being here, now
and she said
'Jump into the river, it'll take you anywhere you want to go and
think of me if sometimes you don't know'
Well I've cried a river of my own
Lord knows I've cried a flood
I've gone to the mountain and I've given blood
and the journey it goes on and on
leads me I know not where
and I can say that I don't but I know that I really care
I do indeed care
And she said
'Jump into the river, it'll take you anywhere you want to go and
think of me if sometimes you don't know and
jump into the river it'll take you anywhere you want to be and
always my son
think of me
Jump into the river
Jump into the river my son
Jump into the river
and think of me'

Life is…(a rhythm & a melody)
Life is a rhythm and a melody
It doesn't matter if the words are easy or hard to hear
Let your heart take you into the melody right now
Let the rhythm take your feet anywhere
Sadness is such a lonely road
Come together let the music move your soul
Life is a rhythm and a melody
It doesn't matter if the words are easy or hard to bear
Take your heart with you into the melody right now
Let the rhythm take your feet everywhere
Turn your eyes to the one who cares
The one who knows and lets it show let it grow
Life is a rhythm and a melody
Life is a rhythm and a melody…
Take control of your destiny
By letting go into the light that shines from every soul
Life is a rhythm and a melody
Life is a rhythm and a melody…
Rhythm and a melody rhythm and a melody…

Time For Love
You turn out the light
hide away
Everything is out of sight
fly away
Your hand's holding mine
Don't be frightened
It'll be alright tonight
Whoa whoa yeah
It's time for love
Can anybody hear my heart beat
I hear a whisper in my ear
It's telling me
"Come on darling, hold me near"
Whoa whoa yeah
You carried my shopping home
I didn't care
You made me tea and toast
I wasn't impressed
I know that's crazy
but when you kissed me so light and sweet
I felt a fire that went from my head to my feet
and back again
It's time for love
Can anybody hear my heart beat
I hear a whisper in my ear
It's telling me
"Come on darling, hold me near"
It's time for love hear my heart beating fast tonight
You're whispering in my ear as you hold me tight
Your kiss is sending me outta sight
Let's fly away
don't delay
now it's time for love
It's time for love
hide away
It's time for love
fly away
It's time for love
yeah yeah yeah
It's time for love
let's fly away
It's time for love
don't you hide away
It's time for love
yeah yeah yeah

Melody
Her mother tell's her she's lazy
'Cause dreaming's her favourite past-time
Her vision's her inspiration
Like a child
And when I see her smiling
Well I know for sure
That Melody's flying high tonight
When I see her smile
Melody's flying high tonight
And her friends are telling her to
Come out and party
But like the queen of swords she's waiting
Patience is her domain
She knows the waiting game
And when I see her smiling
Well I know for sure
That Melody's flying high tonight
And she's just 17
She thinks she's no beauty queen
She's got no need to be seen
'Cause it's her heart that's the light
See it shining so bright
That when I see her smile I know that
Melody's flying high tonight
When I see her smile
Melody's flying high tonight
Now she's had a baby
Angus is his name
And she's teaching the children
In her own special way
And when I see her smiling
Well I know for sure
That Melody's flying high tonight
When I see her smile
Melody's flying high tonight
When I see her smile
Melody's flying high tonight

ALWAYS
I would share my last bread with you
You're the earth that I walk on
And that is why I want to nurture and protect you
When I come into your safe harbour
Precious rest and shelter you offer
And that is why I'll look after you always
Seasons come, seasons may go
Our lives are only passing shadows
And that is why I want to spend all of mine with you
Love me don't leave me
Hug me and squeeze me
I'm not afraid to make my own way
And that doesn't mean I don't want you to stay
I want my arms to enfold you and hold you and hold you and hold you
'til our four lips, our four lips
'til our four lips can meet again
I will break my last bread with you
You're the earth that I walk on
And that is why
I love you always

Dance of Life
Mothers wash their babies by the sea
Cradle in their arms humanity
Life gives life
So the cycle's shared
One day we care for the one who cared
I grew up learning
'This is right and that's wrong'
Now's the time to sing our own song
A song heartfelt, the melody from deep inside
Rises up and leads you in the Dance
in the Dance of Life
As the ocean listens to the moon
You listen for your tune
As mothers wash
Yeah mothers wash their babies
By the sea
By the sea
By the sea

Offering (Close my eyes)
I went down to the beach today
caressed by morning sun's rays
and I lay down in the sun
it's so long since I've lain in the sun
and as I closed my eyes
dreams of turquoise and aquamarine
How many eyes closed on babies, bellies whining
How many lay in prison awaiting torture and execution
How many lost limbs from land-mines exploding
I just want to close my eyes
I just want close my eyes
Sunshine's fingers held me close
Wide, white sand like snow
led me to the water's edge and beyond
cool, clear, deep
and as I breathed in deep to feed my soul
How many breathed in fumes and foul decay
How many forests are burning today
How many millions were made by one
whilst a billion and more people had none
This day was given to me to enjoy
and as I savour this time to be alone
how many die quietly without a hand to hold
Let me take wide, white sand, like snow
saltwater cold and clear
my dream, turquoise and aquamarine
and offer these to every suffering being
wide, white sand, like snow

Goodbye
I sit on Forrest St and watch the world go by
But I may as well be hanging from that mango tree
'Cause the heart the guts and everything's
Been ripped out of me
It's a hard hard hard hard road that's calling
A hard hard hard hard mile
It's a hard hard time's befallen me
And I can't say goodbye
All my family and friends and people I don't even know
Have lifted me and carried me
All their thoughts and prayers and wishes and actions
Have been my buoy in this rough and stormy sea
It's a hard hard hard hard road I'm walking
A hard hard hard mile (or is it a thousand)
Hard hard hard road and there's no other way
Is God watching
I see this dark and lonely passage
Open up before my ravaged eyes
There's an earthquake in my body
Won't subside
And I feel that this won't last forever
I know that light will find me in the end
But in the meantime hold my hand I'm shaking
God is watching
It's a hard hard hard hard road I'm taking
It's a cold cold long and lonely way
And there's no backstreet no shortcut
God is with me I pray
And goodbye little birdy
Goodbye
Goodbye precious cargo
Goodbye
And I pray it's not goodbye forever
That somewhere somehow sometime we'll meet again
You're here in my dreams my heart our family
And I feel you in the wind
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh…
Goodbye my angel
Goodbye little one
Goodbye brightest smile
Goodbye my son
And goodbye little Liam
Goodbye Tinky-Li
Goodbye my Habibi
Goodbye my baby
