Come On Home

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

All The Way Down
04:00

'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

Where To Swim
04:39
|
|||
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
