Come On Home 05:17
When I fourteen I thought I loved a boy I knew it 'cause i'd dream about him on the bus And at night time 'fore I'd fall asleep and every other moment of the day I would scribble on my notebook, think of changing my name And what it'd sound like When I was nineteen i thought i was so good So above the lust and nonsense that my friends misunderstood To be love or liberation but i knew if i held on God would bring me a boy and my heart would hear his song Sung just for me Oh, for me Sung just for me V3. But now I’m older and I walk with my head high Just one foot before the other with my friends by my side But as the last light fades away and the wind hits my face Sometimes I dream of a love to hold me in his strong embrace I, I’m such a loser Gettin’ my kicks where I can in the absence of a man Am I, am I the only one that’s crazy, it's how i feel lately So won’t you come on home Won’t you come on home won’t you come on home won’t you come on home Yeah yeah I’m so analytical I miss out on organic moments in life cause I’m thinking 'bout myself I’ll 'um' and 'ah' while you tell your story but my mind is somewhere else So with manners cast aside and with self appreciation I will run like the wind, my flaws I will face them I, I’m such a loser Gettin’ my kicks where I can in the absence of a man Am I, am I the only one that’s crazy, it's how i feel lately So won’t you come on home Won’t you come on home won’t you come on home won’t you come on home Ooh Won’t you come on home won’t you come on home

Home Again 03:33
Verse 1 Take me back please Hold me closely I remember when we were young We run riot Your mother’s hand is holding yours now Chorus And the clouds they turn to grey as the dark comes And the rumble of the sky like distant drums And we’re running for our lives to beat the rain Home again Verse 2 Wake me up in the morning I’m sleepy eyed but your voice is warm Your pancake batter is made with love You never tire Your working hands run up my spine Chorus Bridge (ooh, ooh, aah) Bucket and spade, sandcastle made (ooh) Crumbling around our little fingers (ooh) Sandwiches cut into triangles (aah) We’ll both run around

Folk Song 04:06
Sittin' on the porch looking down from this hill I might be crazy But way off in the distance I thought I heard someone sing And there's a stream in the valley and it's hurrying to nowhere It's sayin' 'Ooh, I will return' And all the leaves of the forest They begin to whisper And all the little birds turn their heads at their command They're sayin' 'Ooh, come build your home in a folk song. All you little birds, well you need somewhere to land' Sometimes I'll catch me Catch me a wonderin' Wonderin' if I'll find my love down there I could lose my heart in a folk song Maybe I'll climb to the top and find it there And all the leaves of the forest They begin to whisper 'Come rest in me and I'll hold your hand' They're sayin' 'Ooh, come build your home in a folk song All you little birds well you need somewhere to land' Come build your home

'I love you' seems so easy. Let the words just come out, nothing to worry about. But you're stubborn to the very core And you wouldn't say it. I waited. I'm stubborn too. I'd tell you each time we talked and it was met with a pause. I wouldn't stop until I broke down your walls. Still, you wouldn't say it Ooh, I wonder what you're so afraid of. Yet still, I'm uneasy too Ten years. Now I'm in Sydney. We don't talk all that much and when we do you don't ask me about myself And there's this other woman that you see And you know I hate it. I told you she's not welcome at my gig And you said not to make you choose And I said "Well, I am" And then I broke down and cried and we got in a fight. Ooh, I wonder what you're so afraid of. Yet still, I'm uneasy too I sat on the floor and cried. It hurt all the way down. I never hear you say you're sorry And I don't expect that of you So when the phone rang once more And you said "I love you" I felt it all the way down.

Scratch 04:16
You're the scratch of the pin on the vinyl You're the track that repeats once again And though I know I'm partly to blame You don't make it easy to walk away You're the struggle from sleep every morning When I fight to stay warm under the sheets And though the sun suggests all kinds of incentives It's still hard to face the day You're a spreading fire A burning sensation In the depths of my body under my skin And with your careless indifference All the more I'm drawn in Saw you flicking through lineups And came across my name And you realised what you'd Let get away And though I was only caught in a daydream I'll work, I'll work so hard to hear you say You're a spreading fire A burning sensation In the depths of my body under my skin And with your careless indifference All the more I'm drawn in Ooh

Darting back and forth like lost children My eyes feel like strangers in my head And my words in their hiding places And my mouth filling up with air In the plaid umbrella in the polka dot dress she goes In her high heeled boots with the blisters on her toes And the thoughts keep running all around her head And everyone walks past and no one knows That she'll keep standing here until the water rises above her eyebrows and her hair And drowning is not a choice When you don't know where to swim to I'm not trying to be so dramatic I'm just trying to keep my cool There's a kingdom of emotions that I don't want you to rule In the plaid umbrella in the polka dot dress she goes And the night's still young but this feeling's getting old And the champagne's flowing and the pill's kicking in And everyone is lost and so it goes And I was positive about the future And I thought, thought that I was doing better And I didn't know til he asked me the question Then it hit me like It hit me like the truth

In The Trees 04:18
I've been thinking of the day when I'll see your face again And I'll never know why I let you go it's driving me crazy Until the end of time I'm gonna make you mine So take my hand my darling let's go into the sea let's sail away Get lost on the water, get drunk on that big blue ocean babe Until the end of time I'm gonna make you mine oh mine I hear you in the trees I feel you in the breeze When the rain hits the ground I know you're still around ooh When fruit becomes wine I'm gonna make you mine It's been seven long years I've watched winter come and go Days turn to nights, weeks go by, mine so slow Until the end of time I'm gonna make you mine oh mine I hear you in the trees I feel you in the breeze You will never know how much I need you so ooh When fruit becomes wine I'm gonna make you mine

Who You Are 04:49
So many secrets so many lies At the end of the day there's still your smile And I might be mad for a little while but It only makes me tired So many years have come and gone It's about time I wrote a song To tell you you'll always belong In my heart I will remember you for ever and ever more You were the first one that I loved for sure So don't you leave me with the memory I'm only just getting to know you Who is that handsome face leaning upon his car I'm only just learning who you are I don't remember you looking like him With your hair so crazy and your arms so thin And it's hard to keep all my love in Sometimes You are the constant in my life you're all I know Now you have quietened your voice and your hearts on show So don't you leave me with the memory I'm only just getting to know you Who is that handsome face leaning upon his car I'm only just learning who you are
