40 miles to paradise
I've got the destination baby you've got the car
Throwing in the mandolin and my old guitar
We've got the delta blues cd on the stereo
No place I would rather be than with you on the road
Heading for the coast
40 miles to paradise yeah
If we leave now
An hour down that mountain road
And we'll be there
We going to catch a fish or 2 enough for you and me
Make a fire cook him up for tea
We might play a tune or two while the fish fries in the pan
Baby girl she does a dance like only baby's can
Done my time toed the line
Been a good citizen most of the time
Paid my dues worn my shoes
Service with a smile
We going to go where the sky don't care
What you say or what you wear
Bet you ten dollars if it doesn't rain
That sun's sure going to shine
He's coming home
Its been a long long time
Since it rained like this
It soothes my mind
It feels like bliss
He's on the highway now
I'm in the kitchen
I put the kettle on and wonder
What he's thinking about
I won't wait up tonight
But ill be leaving on the bedside light
Ill be waiting for the sound
Of his car on the road
And the lights coming up the drive
I tell myself that I don't mind being alone
Tonight he's coming home
I've made the house all nice
Washed my hair
Changed the sheets
And put some flowers on the table there
I get undressed hop into bed
Turn the lights down low
Listen to the rain
And the radio
I won't sleep but ill close my eyes
And I ll be leaving on the bedside light
Music in my bones
Stay won't you stay
Throw those car keys away
It's too nice a night for driving anyway
Play wont you play
Go on grab that old guitar
Come and play all your worries away
It's a starry night
It's a simple life
I got music in my bones
Playing it wherever I go
Meet my dog George
He's got music in his paws
He can wag his tail in time
We keep it loose
Flap your wings and do the goose
Yeah you do that dance so fine
Clap clap you're hands
Go grab those pots and pans
Let the music loose you're blues for a while
Hey hey its OK
Whatever you play
Let the music make you smile
Silver and gold
I spent a lot of time looking for peace of mind
I thought I might find some in drugs smoky bars and bottles of wine
But love is the treasure
More precious than silver or gold
And our love is better
Better that anything else I know
I spent a lot of time building walls of stone and steel
I don't know how it is that life can get you so you're too scared to feel
But love is the healer
More precious than silver or gold
And our love is better
Better than anything else I know
This house is safe and warm our boots are all in a pile at the door
I cannot save the world but I can open up my heart and love a little more
Love is the savior
More precious than silver or gold
And our love is better
Much better than anything else I know
Love is a healer
More precious than silver or gold
And our love is better
Better than anything else I know
Sth West wind
I was born in old Yallourn
Dug it up for coal now the whole towns gone
Moved out west when I was just one
Took me this long to find myself and find myself a home
Sth West wind in a Sth West town
Sitting still on the side of a hill
Noone's going to dig me out of here
Blond hair bleached from the salt and the sun
Shaggy dog in a rusty car
North wind blows you can feel it in your bones
In the summer its hot in the winter its freezing cold
Following the inland road
The rolling hills of home
This black clay it turns to mud
This country gets into your blood
Life has etched its lines on me
Time has found a place for me
A place for me to be
Love you so
You're just too beautiful
I've never seen such a smile before
Never knew what tit was to adore
Till I met you
You're such a cutie pie
You're the apple of your mother's eye
You make me laugh and you make me cry
I love you so
My little love I love you so
You've got me wrapped around
Your fingers and your toes
Crawling around on the kitchen floor
My little caterpillar I adore
I want to give you everything and more
I love you so
Little airplane flying high
My love is bigger than the big blue sky
Little buttercup and butterfly
I love you so
We don't get much sleep these days
My heads all fuzzy and I'm in a haze
I try to hurry but it never pays
I love you so
Beautiful World
Blue blue sky an autumn day
Golden sun shines on my face
She gives it her all
She gives it for free
Always for free
The wind it blows and the bells they ring
What a state we got ourselves into
They're taking you down
And its breaking my heart
Breaking my heart but
Beautiful world I wont give in
I won't forget you're everything
Sun set she sings blue moon she sighs
Beautiful world's got tears in her eyes
I get down on my knees and pray
God above won't you show us the way
I haven't got a lot more to say
Nothing to say but
I won't admit defeat
We've got to reach out our hands
And stand on out feet
I tell myself don't let you're heart break
Never doubt the difference you make
The change it will come with each step we take
Each step we're taking
Drove all night
Am I blue or am I black
Or is it just I miss you
And I wish you'd just come back
My eyes are dry like the river bed
One thing for sure I'm never going to see
Another head of hair so red
We drove all night just for fun
Shone so bright brighter than the sun
Girl I miss you more than I can say
Starry nights and summer days
Dogs and cars and surfboards
And searching for waves
Dreaming eyes windy hair
Cotton summer dresses
And feet always bare
Where's my muse where's my spark
I've lost my reflection now
I'm standing in the dark
Turn the key I'm heading to who knows where
Flying down the highway
The wind in my hair
Wounded heart
I fell down in a deep dark hole
I fell down in a deep dark hole
God heal my wounded heart
God save my wounded soul
My dreams they all came true
I want for nothing new
The day so clear and bright
This dark as black as night
Big sky moonlight
Lord God of all
Hear me heal me
Heal my wounded heart
My friend my friend is gone
And left me all alone
Been trying to say goodbye
Guess its time to say goodbye
My little baby child
Her eyes of ocean blue
This love so big and wide
This world it waits for you
All my days
One day when I'm old my hair it will be grey
But I don't think inside I'll feel much different from today
I've never done what I was told and I guess I never will
But I love it when you hold me and I hope you'll hold me still
When the sun is low
We'll talk about today
I will always walk
I will walk beside you all my days
One day when I'm wise I'll never run off course
And I will learn to make sponge cake and béarnaise sauce
And we'll lay barefoot on the lawn and stare up at the stars
And dance under the moon because we'll be so young at heart
If you go before me I'll not be too far behind
And I'll know that we made the most of every single
Inch in time
One day when I'm old I'll play my guitar
And I will write love songs to you my only one true love
And I will play the songs to you and you will play along
And we'll be making music like we did when we were young
Zucchini cake
Sun is shining all around
Pouring golden on the ground
Warm my back and warm my toes
Waking up the seeds we sow
We've got carrots we've got beans
Lemon trees and nectarines
Apples red zucchinis green
More than you have ever seen
Oh we're livin slow
Watching all the green things grow
Come by any time
We'll eat zucchini cake and apple pie
You cannot trust nothing these days
All those numbers all that spray
We get worried we get scared
Scared of what we may be fed
We like watching rain fall down
Growing things up from the ground
Of all the things I like to make
My favorite is zucchini cake
If you come by you'll find me
Down amongst the greenery
We get high on old home grown
You be sure you take some home
