EARLY MORNING
A late night yearning and an early morning
For the girl who's calling your name
Wishing wondering when you'll be coming
Back to her again
We'll it's a, a long road with a heavy heart
A steam train with a steady start
The highway but the long walk home
Chorus
Love, love, love x3
Is creeping on in
You know high times you’ll know the lows
Let love in yeah and watch it grow
You never try yeah you'll never know
You never try yeah you'll never know
Chorus
PAVED IN GOLD
Chisel a story from blood and bone
Pay to the man till the money's all gone
The same old face in the mirror still wondering how
You got this far with a ball and a chain
Carried so long now all that remains
Is a whisper in the wind and a trail in the fading dust
Chorus:
I will hold you tight
Ease your fears away
I will let you know
You're not in this alone
We will keep on running
Soon the day is coming
Well look back and see
Its all been paved in gold
Verse 2:
So pick up your shoes keep travelling on
Till the days grow short and the nights grow long
And you need another drink like you need another hole in the head
There's a break in the dark and a distant call
So well you know now you'd risk it all
For a chance at another glance
At a broken dream
I will hold you tight
Ease your fears away
I will let you know
You're not in this alone
We will keep on running
Soon the day is coming
Well look back and see
Its all been paved in gold
GRANDMA'S SONG
There's a woman who lives on top of the hill
See has made her bed and she lays there still
In a room with a view that the whole world should see
She has learnt to survive but not to be free x2
but not to be free
Her children they know how to live with the cold
They stay young in their hearts as their days grow old
There’d be love in the house if we could find the key
She has learnt to survive but not to be free x2
but not to be free
It remains to be seen she's a little misunderstood
She has paved her way like an only child could
We can only hope as she reaches her dying days
That her mind will rest and her loneliness be saved x3
There's a woman who lives on top of the hill
SINK OR SWIM
A cold wind settles on my chest
It’s a timely reminder of what I thought was best
And now you're far, far from my side
From the choices you have made
You can run but you can't hide
Ooooooh My my dear
Ooooooh
Chorus:
We will make new new tracks
Down to the water
Down to the water
We will make new new tracks
Sink or swim
Hell or high water
Hell or high water
Verse 2:
In the woods with open arms
You find a resting place to take you safe from harm
And it's that old death rattle in my brain
The space you left is cold
But the smell of you remains
Ooooooh My my dear
Ooooooh
Chorus
Bridge:
Keep your head up don't get lost in the darkness
My my dear
Keep your head up don't get lost in the darkness
Far and clear
....repeat
Chorus
SOMETHING LEFT TO LOSE
I new a girl she would've travelled the world
If not for the hole in her head
She fought to be saved
but at the end of the day
It was a hole in her heart left her dead
Mow we all know that time goes slow
Until there’s none left to waste
If only we could see what the future would be
There’d be no room for fate
Chorus:
It might seem like you got nothing
but there’s always something left to loose
I feel like starting something
But something’s nothing without you
Verse 2:
I knew a man with a master plan
the house the car the kids and a wife
Eight hours a day on a factory wage
He’d say don't let money rule your life
Go, travel the world and find yourself a girl
Don't believe ‘em you don’t need to settle down
Just put food on the table, man if your young and able
Don’t make the mistakes I did
Chorus
It goes on......
GYPSY HEART
Some of us are born lucky
And luck is a cross to bear
Some of us are born with an axe to grind
Claiming life it just isn’t fair
Some of us are born in the gutter
But we've learnt to look at the stars
Some of us are born on a hope and a dream
Never thought we would get this far
Never thought we would get this far
Chorus:
I was born under a travelling wind
and with a gypsy heart I roam
Where ever I lay my head
I'll call my home
Verse 2:
So lets pack our bags full wishes
And take only time
Make boxes for your memories
Let your spirit shine
Coz there’s power in the process
We always have everything we need
Set your truest intensions
Someday we’ll be free
Someday we’ll be free
Chorus
LIFE IS FOR LIVING
I knew a lady
She put pen to paper daily
Always with a glint in her eye
Tales of lust she made
She left an empty page
The day that she died
Chorus:
Now I struggle to keep my head above that water
For all the words we could've said
All I know is life is for living
And she's a long time dead
Verse2:
I knew a woman
Not so fond of the system
She danced like the colours through the rain
She took her own life
Her flame burned for one last time
We will never know her pain
Chorus
Verse 3:
I knew an angel
She'd sit at a table
And treasure every day of her life
They flew her away
To an early grave
Leaving a husband no longer a wife
And two beautiful children
How you gonna tell them
When they're old enough to ask you why
They stole mum away
On that fateful day
And we never had a chance to say goodbye
Chorus
MOMENTS
This same old pain’s been felt
Too many times before
And I have closed up for shelter
Now you're knocking down my door
Like the sunrise you bless me
With that smile upon your face
You've been asking me for answers
I'm asking you to wait
Chorus:
I want to be happy wholesome
Into my heart again
I want to cherish the moments
In the hope they will never end
There's a river now flowing
On a mountain descent
Out to the wide blue ocean
Where we will meet again
So I will break down these boundaries
That rattle through my brain
And I will wait for the moment
When when the sun comes up again
Like an angel you bless me
You melt this heavy heart
You gonna take me straight back
Straight back to the start
Chorus
