Australia

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

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

Lily at the gate
03:54

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

Sad Gypsy Lady
04:15
|

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...
