BALTIMORE
Have you ever been to Baltimore, it lies on the western shore?
Have you ever been to Baltimore, thought I'd seen your face before.
Thought I'd seen your face a thousand times, a thousand time or more.
Thought I'd seen you face a thousand times or more.
Did you ever sail from Baltimore, past stacks of solid stone?
Dolphins at your side, it seemed all there was to know.
Did you build your home on a Cape so Clear, did you lie upon the stone
Did you spill your blood on that Cape so Clear as a sign of coming home?
A sign of coming home.
Home.
See the light above your door,
But I don't see your face no more
Just my history.
Home, where the river gently flows,
Where the chalk by moonlight glows.
This is my history
I was lost I was lonesome I was far from these shores
And I found depths of despair, I never been there before.
Then it felt like the ending, then it felt like moving on
Until I found myself standing proud and alone.
Then I heard in the distance "You got to hold your head up high"
"If you want to be a proud man that's what you need to survive"
"Walk tall, Walk straight and look the world right in the eye".
"Walk tall, Walk straight and look the world right in the eye".
That's what my mamma told me when I was about knee high.

HALCYON DAZE
Broken.
Someone said these were the Halcyon days
A time remembered to ease the pain of the fall
We're just like children so far from home
We soothe ourselves through veils of tears.
Flying high with wings so broken
Don't you know you can depend on me when you fall
Keep on looking with both eyes open
Don't loose your faith in what you see
Unbroken
Bid farewell unto those Halcyon Days
To broken promises and friendships based on fear.
We raise our faces to meet the gaze of those of us who dare to be
To heal the bones and with wings we open
Ascend to places so far beyond our dreams
Cherish moments of grace and beauty
Immerse ourselves to rise again.
Be what you found be the strength that holds you
Trust your body she will take you there
Don't fear the ground you can learn the lesson now
Be your truth and don't give in to fear.
Someone said these were the Halcyon Days,
A time remembered to ease the pain of the fall.

GIVEN LOVE

GIVEN LOVE
Given love I'm giving love with emotion
Given love I'm giving love for all time
And in the moment that it breaks
Its the loneliness that takes me
Given love I'm giving love for all time
Given love I'm giving love with devotion
You are the love you know I thought had passed me by
And in the game of give and take
The more you love the more you make
Given love I'm giving love another try.
Yeah we're all alone
Yeah we're all alone
Yeah we're all alone
Searching for a home
Yeah we're on our own
Yeah we're on our own
Yeah we're on our own
Searching for a home.
Given love I'm taken deep into the mystery
Given love I'll let this tanged heart unwind
And in the beauty of the dawn
Stars they fade as one is born.
Yeah we're all alone
Yeah we're all alone
Yeah we're all alone
Searching for a home
Yeah we're on our own
Yeah we're on our own
Yeah we're on our own
Searching for a home.
Gonna build a place for me where I can be beside you
Gonna move that stone make a mountain high
Gonna reach right up not walk on by
I'm going let me spirit free now
Going to let it go
Going to let it go now
Going to let it show
All my love I give to you
You are my love
I want you believe in me
All my love I promise you
You are my love
I want you believe in me.
I know it's true.

WHEN ALL'S BEEN SAID AND DONE
When all the grieving's done
No more to feel the sun
When all the songs are sung
When all the songs are sung
Thats when all our grieving's done
The peace that we'll become
When all this breathing's done
When all's' been said and done
When all's been said and done
When alls' been said and done
We came from silence into sound
We found our voice and sang out loud
We joined the harmony, it as there for us to do
And now it's waiting there for you
For you.
So now to grief you're come
You're the dawning of a sun
And you'll find what you'll become
Before your day is done
Before your day is done
You came from silence into sound
You found our voice and sang out loud
You joined the harmony, it as there for us to do
And now it's waiting there for you
For you.
Sing
Let your heart be open
Sing
Sing on out aloud
Sing
Let your heart be open
Let it take you to some higher ground
Let it take you to some higher ground
When all this grieving's done
And the peace that we'll become
When all's been said and done
When all's been said and done
Thats when all our grieving's done

LOOKING BEHIND ME NOW

LOOKING BEHIND ME NOW
Looking behind me now
Trying to make some sense of where I am now
They're circling above me now
Trying to make some sense of it all
Want to make some sense of it all
Gonna make some sense of it all
You're walking beside me now
I feel see then moon above, feel your arm in mine
I watch the shadows, how they fall,
I want to make some sense of it all
Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall
We are the writing on the wall
Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall
For we are the writing on the wall
In through the door walks my old friend
Plays the Gibson sweet, they built in '58,
Lets play this song now to the end
And given time let's play it once again
And given time let's play it once again
Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall
We are the writing on the wall
Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall
For we are the writing on the wall
Come follow
Come follow
Come heed my call.
Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall
We are the writing on the wall
Enjoy the ride don't fear the fall
For we are the writing on the wall
Looking behind me now
Looking behind me now
You're right here beside me

There's no-one here
Its all gone wrong
I stand alone and I sing this song
But I might just find myself some hallowed ground
If I make a fist of all the shit's gone down
You've gotta to stand up
You've gotta to stand up
I see my mother's face
Hear my father's voice
My brother's grace a distant noise
Oh please God won't you help me find some hallowed ground
And make a fist of all the she's gone down.
You've gotta to stand up
You've gotta to stand up
You've gotta to stand up
Cos there's no one who'll pick you up
Like you can do.
There's an open door
There's another song
It's a fact of life things sometimes go wrong
But in time I'll find myself some hallowed ground
And make a fist of all the shit's gone down.

THE BEACH BOY

THE BEACH BOY
You're seeking sanctuary
To build a home in love
And not adversity
Such a noble goal
On the road your destiny
Hangs in the balance of our whims
Our sense of charity
Such a fragile load
We reach for love in the hope we won't be denied
We reach for love with the innocence of a child
But from where I'm standing
Things don't look so good for you
And the blueness of the ocean
Could be the death of you
From where I'm standing
The future's clear to see
And in the future that I'm seeing
There's no space for you
Just me
This is an ancient game
We play it time and time and time again
We play it time and time and time again
We play it time and time and time again
We reach for love in the hope we won't be denied
We reach for love in the hope we won't be denied
We reach for love with the innocence of a child
But from where I'm standing
Things don't look so good for you
And the blueness of the ocean
Could be the death of you
And we'll forget you
You're not the first you see
Who's hopes sank to the bottom
'Neath the blueness the sea
From where I'm standing
The future's clear to see
And in the future that I'm seeing
There's no space for you
Nor me
From where I'm standing
We'll forget you
Reach for love
Reach for love
This is an ancient game
We play it
This is an ancient game
We play it
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
Reach for love

SCARE CITY

SCARE CITY
We live our lives in scarcity
Surrounded by the fear we breathe
It penetrates down to the core
And makes us slaves for evermore.
We anaesthetise our waking minds
To bear the pain, conceal the crimes
That others and ourselves endure
And turn our backs on love so pure.
But it's love that changes shit to gold
Makes life worth living lets us behold
Abundance where we all enjoy
The fruits of labour, the gift of life
Its love that changes shit to gold
Makes life worth living and let's us behold
It's love that changes shit to gold.
Round every corner lurks a threat
A shadowed face lined with regret
A bitter pill that's swallowed whole
To keep the shit locked in your soul.
We join the dots, down snakes we slide
The dice is loaded, no surprise
We find ourselves on bended knee
And hear a voice, "look up to me".
But it's love that changes shit to gold
Makes life worth living lets us behold
Abundance where we all enjoy
The fruits of labour, the gift of life
Its love that changes shit to gold
Makes life worth living and let's us behold
It's love that changes shit to gold.
It's love that changes.
It's love that changes.
It's love that changes.
Shit ot gold.

THE WEIGHT OF A STAR

THE WEIGHT OF A STAR
I am looking out from the blue-est of places
Looking out at the stars.
Counting each speck, know the distance it's travelled
And I'll give you the weight of a star.
I'll give you the weight of a star.
I'm doing the sums now I'm keeping the score
Doing the same things that we did before
Finding some comfort in painting by numbers
At the cost of living a part
At the cost of living apart
But hiding by numbers obscures the view
Diminishes the light to our eyes
But to bathe in our brilliance
It takes some resilience
Don't make it a bridge too far
Or you might miss the weight of a star
In all of our knowing there's beauty and wonder
Lest we forget all that we are
And wisdom's revealed in the darkest of places
To those who reach out to the stars
To those who reach out to the stars
And stars we all know
Well they come and they go
An echo is all that remains
And we just like them we start over again
In the brilliance of all that we are
In the brilliance of all that we are
But hiding by numbers obscures the view
Diminishes the light tour eyes
But to bathe in our brilliance
It takes some resilience
Don't make it a bridge too far
Or you might miss the weight of a star
All that we are
In the weight of a star.
All that we are
In the weight of a star.
And stars we all know
Well they come and they go
An echo is all that remains
An echo is all that remains
An echo is all that remains

COLD SWEAT

COLD SWEAT
I'm not exactly where I thought I'd be
Not exactly sure who's been lying next to me
Can't remember much about the night long gone
Tell me brother what's been going on
I'm in a cold cold sweat.
Ice cold somethings running over me,
I open my eyes and find you looking down on me
Draw the blinds babe it's just to bright to see
Gotta find me some shade
Come stand right over me
Stand right over me
You know that's just what I....
I remember now you said you were wild and free
Thats what you said when you put these chains on me
Enjoy the pain babe let me take you down
Enjoy the pain you said
Lets make some cold sweat on your brow
Cold sweat on you brow.
Dare to be different
Dare to be alive
My God how hard it is to live life like a child
Release these chains from me
I'll never tie you down
Cos you and me babe, we're just fooling'
Foolin'
There's no right or wrong, no black or white
No one standing over judging you tonight
Neptune learned his lesson
You gotta learn to ride the tide
Find the voice that speak the truth
And the pain will just subside
The pain will just subside.
How good it feels doing what we do
How good it feels me inside of you
How good it feels when my hands are tied
How good it feels
Too good to be denied
Why should it be denied
Too good to be denied
I'm in a cold sweat
Over you
