Australia 03:23
I looked into I looked at your face Oh your face Where beauty has its place Far away from here Taken from your touch To a land thats disappeared Crying out for you Suddenly I dreamed And there I saw your eyes Sparkling and alive Taken to a place None of them came from So they just walk along And their step will never falter While they don't understand You and what it is to be From the endless plain and dream Of Australia Tell me what it is They were all taken away Upon this country lay A ghost land it will stay While shadows dance and play In the moonlight they're arrayed Midnight corrobboree And they don't understand You and what it is to be From the endless plain and dream Of Australia Haunted they remain Wild and insane In the gaol of the mind Invisible to the blind But there on King's Cross street 'Mongst the detritus you sleep A pawn in Darwin's game And they don't understand You and what it is to be From the endless plain and dream Of Australia

Stone me 04:15
Stone me Stone me Crucified Messiah Nothing less explicit begins to explain The thunder of the tempest Wrapped inside the rage Staring down the final destination Through the smoke of complicit depradation When you receive a foreign delegation Unannounced an act of desperation You should a' seen the state of degradation Blow by blow the god of fornication Pleasure hounds fixed upon elation In a trance of fog and medication Baby born short of full gestation Is it real or my imagination That the walls are falling down? I had to leave before the demonstration Democratic diluted derivation No absolutes all interpretation Q and A TV interrogation Tinder dry bush fire conflagration Standing there before self immolation And then I go and fall in love And the game will change Cos' we all got skin in the game An' I pray for my children Hey It's hot in here need better ventilation Apocalyptic terror fascination Landscape cries for full emancipation From the waves' roaring aggravation From the hordes chanting psalms of desolation Coming from the book of revelation Serendipity invalidation I'm hoping for some rehabilitation Cry out for the land of the free Not to lament but to enter in Enter in

My love waits By the lily at the gate The lily at the gate Is where my love waits She flowers here every year My love waits By the lily at the gate In this house there was a home Filled with love flesh and bone In the still of the night She holds me tight She won't let go My love... Two young hearts their eyes they meet A field of barley a field of wheat The course of life surely set The harvest ripe And fully met My love... As they walk down the line A bloom of flowers oh so fine Two strong boys at their heels The two young lovers Dreams are real My love... In the wild wintry night The white frost comes to clothe the light My eyes sea mist the children grown My love she sleeps She sleeps alone

Abraham 02:52
Looked up at the sky like Abraham And I counted the stars and the grains of the sand If you try to measure infinity It'll blow your mind and your sanity Went to the waters and they opened wide Poured down torrents from the holy sky Went for a ride upon the eagles wings To the place where the tongues of men and angels sing Sun and moon they bowed down low Along with the sheaves Joseph's brothers grow Mary Mary now don't you weep Let the slaves in the cotton fields speak Brought over the sea from Africa Bound with the chains of Babylon Held to the bosom of Abraham Sing to me child of the promised land Sing Sing child of the promised land Behold what goodness and severity Upon temptations mediocrity Upon your sinful wicked ways Grace has come but fire remains

While you sleep there so softly and silent As the mist falls with it's mission of dew Catching your dreams like the sea catches water I watch the moon come to watch over you While you drift away on your journey Far far away like a wandering cloud Though it may seem that I watch from a distance I'll never forget my true love my bride Ch. So tell me my fortune sad gypsy lady Isn't that one of the things that you know? Through the eye of a storm through the eye of a needle This is what she said to me carry on When first I beheld her beheld her beheld her A raven haired beauty with fire in her eyes Escaped form the shadows to stand on the gallows Ready to flood the earth with her tears Oh but I led her away to the desert And tenderly fed and protected her there Her breasts are like fawns that browse 'mongst the lillies Oh come away my beauty my dove Ch. As I was wandering wandering wandering The river that flows out of dawn to the dusk That's travelled and wound along many a highway That seemed as though lost but you know that will find A home in the sea the mist and the rain A home in the hail gathering storm Consciousness stream of poems dreams and wonder Sweeping across and flooding my soul Ch. Carry on carry on all flesh is carrion When the eagle scythes through the air Clutching the bones of the sad gypsy lady Casting them all to the depths of the sea

Share your love Share it with me Oh how sweet Sweet it would be Underneath the blossom tree Let your flowers fall down on me And the breeze caress us so Wonderland Of the heart Panoply of the stars All across the milky way Tomorrow and yesterday I will find you come what may Because Only your sweet love will do Only your sweet heart is true Only your wide eyes will see The place where troubles all will cease The secret of my lovers heart The wounded place your poisoned dart Share your love Share it me Lovers touch of ecstasy Wild places of desire Paradise destroyed by fire All for you the city burns Because...
