THE RIVER

City walls with the bricks and the bones
Old black rag, sticks and stones
Torch lit flame on a black soot wall
Picture frames with the guys and the dolls
No colour after dark
Only shadows know what's in your heart
In a ghost ship town with the dust and the rust
Ringing bells forgotten trust
Killing time for the rats and the cats
All walking tall with their switch blade hats
No colour after dark
Only shadows know what's in your heart
Rain down feel the sky
Open up and wash away
Those lost goodbyes
Only The River knows
In the back yard courts
With the broken rules
Stolen dreams
Handmade tools
Eyes in the dark
Watching your back
Alibies fall through the cracks
No colour after dark
Only shadows know what's in your heart
Rain down feel the sky
Open up and wash away
Those lost goodbyes
Only The River knows
Sun down battle cry
Silver flashes fill the sky
Did the echoes leave their mark?
Cut right through your heart?
Only The River knows

SHOOTING STAR
03:06

Making up days for the time wasted
Waking up dazed, all the different places
I know what it's like to be cold and sore
They all said you won't survive
You took it all and to my surprise
You came through, brand new
Save a mark or two
And all those times you walked away
Singing lullabies and waiting for the rain
To wash away your fears
Only you know what's true
You're love is like a shooting star
Thirty thousand miles an hour
You came burning through my heart
And I know sometimes love can bring you pain
But with you my love, I'd do it all again
Heading up town, sun in your face
Someone smiles but you just can't place it
And I know, you've been burned before
But you get back up, feel the sky
Watch your back, keep your head held high
And your love shines through
Turns into something new
And all those times you walked away
Singing lullabies and waiting for the rain
To wash away your fears
Only you know what's true
You're love is like a shooting star
Thirty thousand miles an hour
You came burning through my heart
And I know sometimes love can bring you pain
But with you my love, I'd do it all again

DRAGONFLY

Hey little dragon
Flying high
Coat of many colours
You light up the sky
You go down by the water
Down by the waterfall
When you fly by
Do you see me at all?
Dragonfly Dragon flying above
Take me back to the one's I love
Lay me down let me sing my song
By the fire where I belong
Down by the water
Down by the waterfall
When you fly by
Do you see me at all?
Down by the water
Down by the waterfall
When you fly by
Do you see me at all?

DESERT SANDS

Even if the sky came tumbling down
My love for you would keep it spinning around
Even if the world stopped making sound
I'd feel your love come beating on down
Even if the sun stopped shining through
Nothing in the world, stop me loving you, loving you
And if the moon stopped shining tonight
I'd feel your love come light up my night
Babe, you mean the world to me
From the sand in the desert to the wild wood tree
I've never known love like this before
You've got me wanting you more and more and more
Baby they can try to break us apart
They don't know the strength in our hearts
Taking our time, laying low
Down by the water where the wild winds blow
I see you, you see me
It's our time baby, let it be, let it be
I've got a feeling we've been here before
A true time lover with a foot on the floor
Babe, you mean the world to me
From the sand in the desert to the wild wood tree
I've never known love like this before
You've got me wanting you more and more and more
Even if the sky came tumbling down
My love for you would keep it spinning around
Even if the world stopped making sound
I'd feel your love come beating on down
Even if the sun stopped shining through
Nothing in the world, stop me loving you, loving you
And if the moon stopped shining tonight
I'd feel your love come light up my night
Babe, you mean the world to me
From the sand in the desert to the wild wood tree
I've never known love like this before
You've got me wanting you more and more and more
