Watching over you in wonder I can’t believe that I’ve become the man That you take home every night To know that I will be your lover Til the sorry ending of our lives Well I feel like I’m high And it’s a lovely thought Well I’m living for the time that we have waiting Giving everything so we can make it through Everyday at a time Well I love you even more than yesterday now I want you to be sure that everyday I will Live my life by your side I’ll go wherever you go I’ll go wherever you go I’ll go wherever you go Absence makes the heart grow fonder With you and I, I never wonder why Cause everything feels right I can’t believe I found a lover You feel the same for me as I for you And I feel loved by you And it’s a lovely thought We’re not supposed to live our lives We’re not supposed to live our lives Untied We’re not supposed to live our lives We’re not supposed to live our lives Untied Well I’m living for the time that we have waiting Giving everything so we can make it through Everyday at a time Well I love you even more than yesterday now I want you to be sure that everyday I will Live my life by your side I’ll go wherever you go I’ll go wherever you go I’ll go wherever you go In this moment in time Say it’ll last forever and tomorrow you’ll still be mine And we could have it all Together in this moment love will open all the doors For whatever we could do Well I’m living for the time that we have waiting Giving everything so we can make it through Everyday at a time Well I love you even more than yesterday now I want you to be sure that everyday I will Live my life by your side I’ll go wherever you go I’ll go wherever you go I’ll go wherever you go

Glow For You 03:27
As day leads to night I will be there my love At first sign of light I will be there my love I’ll be there my love I keep this feeling in my heart and won’t let go Just as this feeling grows for you my love will always glow for you Will always glow for you As time passes by You will be my love As my only crime I will steal your love I keep this feeling in my heart and won’t let go Just as this feeling grows for you my love will always glow for you Will always glow for you Why, oh why? Must life pass us by Without a signal or a sign To tell us if this path is right? We hold this feeling tight I know with you by my side I’ll be alright I keep this feeling in my heart and won’t let go Just as this feeling grows for you my love will always glow for you Will always glow for you Will always glow for you Will always glow for you

Drought Year 03:25
That time of drought the embered air
 burned to the roots of timber and grass. 
 The crackling lime-scrub would not bear
 and Mooni Creek was sand that year. 
 The dingo's cry was strange to hear.

 I heard the dingoes cry 
 in the scrub on the Thirty-mile Dry.
 I saw the wedgetail take his fill
 perched on the seething skull. 
 I saw the eel wither where he curled 
 in the last blood-drop of a spent world.

 I heard the bone whisper in the hide
 of the big red horse that lay where he died. 
 Prop that horse up, make him stand, 
 hoofs turned down in the bitter sand
 make him stand at the gate of the Thirty-mile Dry. 
 Turn this way and you will die, strange and bold was the dingoes' cry. I heard the dingoes cry 
 in the scrub on the Thirty-mile Dry.
 I saw the wedgetail take his fill
 perching on the seething skull. 
 I saw the eel wither where he curled 
 in the last blood-drop of a spent world

Strange Girl 03:41
You got me running, yeah You got me running point that finger at me Don’t point that finger at me I’m just doing what I know is to be truthful to you No I’m not asking to be Part of that marriage to be Strange girl You got me in a whirl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl I know you’re lovely I know you’re lovely just be looking at you But what you ask me to do I can’t say I’ll have your babies after knowing you a week I hope you listen to just how completely crazy that must sound Strange girl You got me in a whirl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Strange girl Strange girl Strange girl Strange girl Strange girl You got me in a whirl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Don’t know what to do with the strange girl Strange girl Strange girl Strange girl Strange girl

Started off in motorcars We wade across the distance Know not what of things to come Anticipation hates us For the diamond walls of innocence, that sparkle on our minds As we, drift along these desert roads of imprints I started weeping here I started with the world on my mind To a place where people stay Who’ve lost their love or mistress I see the past in gallery Where Mother Mary kissed us In the coloured walls of innocence, that sparkle on our minds As we, drift along these desert roads of imprints I’m still waiting here I’ve still got the world on my mind I never thought that I would be the one that brought you down and made you cry I couldn’t stop the words protruding from my mouth like flames hot off the fire Common walls in foreign towns Where history repeats us Solitude brings no surprise The absence of forgiveness In the diamond walls of innocence, that sparkle on our minds As we, drift along these desert roads of imprints I’m finally leaving here But I’ve still got the world on my I’m finally leaving here But I’ve still got the world on my I’m finally leaving here But I’ve still got the world on my mind I’ve still got the world on my mind I’ve still got the world on my mind I’ve still got the world on my mind I’ve still got the world on my mind

In Full View 04:33
You are gone but always on my mind Never forgotten And now, I’m trying to go on But sometimes I just don’t Know who I am Without you to take these thoughts like pieces of a puzzle And show me the picture in full view Knowing now, what we had was love Love must never be forgotten And now, I am left alone With the thought that I just don’t Know who I am Without you to take these thoughts like pieces of a puzzle And show me the picture in full view I’m not complaining, I’ve got a good life But I’m not ok, you know I’m not fine With loosing my mother before her time Why should I be ok with that? She’s gone I gotta live with that Maybe next time you’ve got a knot in your bow Spare a little thought for those who are living without those People who made their half life a whole and Try to see the picture in full view Show me the picture in full view

I need a woman In My life Everyday now Everyday now I need a woman She’ll turn my darkness, into light My days into night And when I’m sad, she’ll bring me laughter Make me feel alright What she wants, I will provide her I’ll give her what she needs And when she’s had all that she needs I’ll give her what she likes I need a woman In My life Everyday now Everyday now I need a woman

Here I stand with head in hand turn my face to the wall If she’s gone I can’t go on feeling two feet small Everywhere people stare each and everyday I can see them laugh at me and I hear them say Hey you’ve got to hide your love away Hey you’ve got to hide your love away Hey you’ve got to hide your love away Hey you’ve got to hide your love away How can I even try? I can never win Hearing them seeing them in the state I’m in How could she say to me “Love will find a way”? Gather round all you clowns, let me hear you say Hey you’ve got to hide your love away Hey you’ve got to hide your love away Hey you’ve got to hide your love away Hey you’ve got to hide your love away

It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low. It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time. Talk Talk - I feel the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us, upon us, upon us But I know that I love you so But I know that I love you so These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient - Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall It's just a little rain
