Southern Shores
(Findlay)
Across the waves I hear you call
From the firing range, yeah like the lion’s roar
Turning up the heat on the sanguine shores of Mexico
With a force you spit the news like fire, like rain
But I don't belong to you, go wrestle your own soul
There's a butterfly calling, calling me home
Love, will you be there?
Delivering final truths
While fortune and fame
Grace the chosen who remain among the few
Every day you don't let go with those serpent like teeth,
Yeah, hissing as you go, digging in your heels
Just like a spoilt teenage overload
When daylight splits the scene
Every word, every threat
Torments your every dream
It's written in stone
Will you remember the day they told you, told you so?
Love, will you be there?
Delivering final truths
While fortune and fame
Grace chosen who remain among the few
Love, will you be there?
Remedying misspent youth?
When the colour they bleed
Is the same no matter how they, how they choose
Oh, Love, will you be there?
delivering final truths
While fortune and fame
Grace the chosen who remain among the few
Love, will you be there?
Remedying misspent youth.
When the colour they bleed
Is the same no matter how they, how they choose
Oh, well it’s killing you
Oh woah

Here’s To You
(Findlay/Morley)
On another highway, heading out of town
Searching for a reason I can’t find
We’d be down on our luck
But we’d always talk it out
Down at the bar on a Saturday night
Well I always thought I’d see your face again
And I can’t deny it’s so hard to understand
I can’t believe you're leaving
And this is how your story ends
As I say goodbye, it’s here’s to you my friend
Sweeping through the hallway the sunlight streaming in
When I took the call I couldn’t work it out
Try to see it your way but it’s tough to comprehend
You made such a difference to so many men
Well, I always thought I’d see your face again
And I never got to thank you for all you did
I’ll see you when I’m dreaming
But if I have to wait till then
I’m gonna raise my glass singing
here’s to you my friend
When I remember the good times that we had
How can I be unhappy even if I’m sad?
‘Cos I always thought I’d see your face again
And I never got to thank you for all you did
I’ll see you when I’m dreaming
But if I have to wait till then
I’m gonna raise my glass singing
Here’s to you my friend
Here’s to you my friend

Just A Woman
(Findlay/Morley)
If you’re wondering why I keep my distance
Baby, when the lights are low
I can tell you're feeling my resistance
and I guess it’s time to let you know
You’ve got something boy I can’t deny it,
but I’ve seen my share of pain
I’ve been wronged and though I don’t regret it
I don’t wanna go there again
I might not be the one, but how could I do you wrong?
When I feel it so strong
Don’t get me wrong it’s not that I don’t trust you
But one thing we gotta understand
Nothing’s gonna stop the full moon rising
‘Cos I’m just a woman and you’re just a man
Yeah, I’m a woman and you’re just a man
I don’t want you feeling under pressure,
but I’m not gonna lie to you
It’s hard to hide it when the sparks are flying
And I know that you can feel it too
Maybe you’re not the one,
but I don’t wanna get this wrong
But I feel it so strong
I only ever wanna see you laughing
I only wanna do the best I can
But I can’t promise you there won’t be trouble
‘Cos you’re just a woman and I’m just a man
If I ever make you feel like crying
I don’t wanna cause you hurt or pain
We’re only human with the same affliction
I’m just a woman and I’m just a man
People talking about the way it should be
and it’s beyond belief
Is that how it’s meant to be?
Just be a man to me
Maybe you’re not the one
and I don’t wanna get this wrong
When I feel it so strong
I only ever wanna see you laughing
I only wanna do the best I can
But I can’t promise you there won’t be trouble
‘Cos I’m just a woman and I’m just a man
If I ever make you feel like crying
I don’t wanna cause you hurt or pain
We’re only human with the same affliction
I’m just a woman and I’m just a man
Yeah, I’m a woman and I’m just a man
I’m just a woman

The Island
(Findlay)
A solo mission was never part of the plan
Home again will never be home again
The tide has turned this road into an end
We know the truth and I never could pretend
Dissolution of a promise
The final curtain falls upon this
Set it free, let it fall down
Let it bleed into the night and watch it burn out in the sun
Take it to the island that is furthest from your heart
Lay it down to rest and go right back to the start
And just be
I will labour to keep them from coming undone
As we revoke the vows we'd written into their blood
Listen to the sons and daughters
Ever bridging broken waters
Set it free, let it fall down
Let it bleed into the night and watch it burn out in the sun
Take it to the island that is furthest from your heart
Lay it down to rest and go right back to the start
And just be
Just be
And just be
Just be

Face In The Sun
(Findlay/Morley)
Ooh, I saw you facing the sun
Healing scars of broken love
Close your eyes let go of the reins
Far above our worldly plane
Om Namah Shivaya
Ahh ah ah ah
Om Namah Shivaya
When I see your face in the sun shadows run
Open my eyes to a love I can feel
Far beyond all that I thought was real
Om Namah Shivaya
Ahh ah ah ah
Om Namah Shivaya
Ooh, I saw your face in the sun
Burning golden love
Mmmm dancing long till the end of the song
Of the soul we are one
Om Namah Shivaya
Ahh ah ah ah
Om Namah Shivaya
Om Namah Shivaya
Ahh ah ah ah
Om Namah Shivaya

I Remember
(Findlay)
I remember you, horse, racing waves across the beach
I remember the stars only just out of reach
I remember the ways losing time across shores
I remember our dreams, our little boat without oars
I remember the days, chasing sun across fields
I remember your hand on my face, how it feels
I remember those nights, burning long afternoons
I remember your voice and how we kissed the full moon
Oh, the tide has moved out now
Many sails have been torn
But no traveler is he who yesterday mourns
Still I remember the days singing only for you
I remember the ways opening up to the truth
I remember your words like a blade across my skin
I remember the tears and how they tore from within
Oh, the time has moved on now
Many seeds have been sown
And the answers that we seek whisper to silence alone
Though the Sun has gone down now
And many leaves will surely fall
Old endings shall offer themselves to the dawn
Oh, the sky has grown dark now
Many shadows will run
But no dreamer will sleep until battles are won

Caught In A Fold
(Findlay)
Nobody knows
About the way that I've been feeling
I'm caught in a fold
As the moon holds the sea
I’ve been rolling back
On a wave already broken
I can't fight the tide
As the sea encircles me
I can't tell you
All that I've done is good
I've been driftwood, coasting
Treading my own weary blood
I can't tell you
How I feel today
This book of storms has opened
And I'm flying right off this page
You wouldn't know
This ragged soul, lost and wandering
Feeling the pull of the moon and sea
Far from myself
Losing strength
And the daylight's waning
Oh, when it's time to go will they call
Call for me?
I can't tell you
All that I've done is good
I've been driftwood, coasting
Treading my own weary blood
I can't tell you
How I feel today
This book of storms has opened
And I'm flying right off this page

Winner
(Findlay/Morley)
Heartbeat, rush, heat
Burn, fire, desire
We don’t have to be right
Sworn love, born sons
Flame burns, love hurts
We don’t have to be right
We are on the same side
I don’t care what you do or what you say
It don’t matter who you blame
One hollow victory’s not worth the price we’d pay
‘Cos there’s no winner in this game
In this game
Heartbeat, rush, heat
Burn, fire, flame dies
We don’t have to be right
We are on the same side
And I don’t care what you do, or what you say
Makes no difference who’s to blame
One empty victory’s not worth
The price we’d pay
There’s no winner in this game
Na na na na na
Na na na na...
We don’t have to be right

Already Free
(Findlay)
Over mountains, through crystalline streams made it this far
Fortune is a tall ship at sea sailing by one star
Standing on that bridge so long
Wondering which way is home
Oh, the higher that we go when that storm rolls in
We can soar like an eagle, ‘cos we're already free
Wanted by that ocean in me, taking life by storm
Made a believer of me, who would have thought?
Tell me, how long can this roll on, if I don't write this song?
Oh, the higher that we go when that storm rolls in
We can soar like an eagle, ‘cos we're already free
Yes, we're already free
You know that it's gonna take some time
You don't have to worry just, spread your wings and glide
Tell me, how long can this roll on, if I don't write this song?
It’s gonna have to die with me, love
Then the message is lost
Follow the way of the eagle we'll fly above the peaks, yeah
Baby, just flow like a river ‘cos you're already free
Yes, we're already free
‘Cos we’re already free

Black Rain
(Findlay / add. Music Josh)
Standing on the edge of a blue green volcano
Somewhere in the middle
See the ticking of a clock
Staring out to sea
Do you see the fires burning
We're gonna need some of that universal love
Did no one tell you there'd be endless summers
Where you'll be praying for black rain
Shine for tomorrow
The plane leaves today
Move into the future
See the faces of our children
I don't preach but the shop is already sailing
I had to let you know before the storm
Takes the mast
Did no one tell you there'd be
Thunder, lightning
Ooh we're heading for black rain
Oh, if we don't change
Did no one tell you there'd be
Thunder, lightning
Ooh we're heading for black rain
Oh, if we don't change
Shine for tomorrow
Wake up today
Shine for tomorrow
Plane leaves today

Lake Sunday
(Findlay)
Shifting out of the rain that holds you
Been coming down, soaked the both of us through
Staying out not coming in, give me a reason to be here
Though the fire’s burning, there’s a storm a coming
Drifting out of a love that was true
Been weighing down all the dreams I had too
Giving out and giving in once were my reason to breathe in
Though the fire’s burning, it burns right through you and...
I’ve left the motor running, take back your keys I’m going
Won’t know the place until it is in view
Just tell the sun I’m coming, some place near water running
Meditate on what I’m gonna do
I’ve left the motor running, take back your keys I’m going
Won’t know the place until it is in view
Just tell the sun I’m coming, some place near water running
Meditate on what I’m gonna do
Na na na na...
Just tell the sun I’m coming, some place near water running
Meditate on what I’m gonna do

Cactus
(Findlay)
With the whip of a comet's tail I went blazing leagues across the sand
Found myself a burning man with a far out look in his hand
With a sip of the cactus brew I was blooming, flaming crimson red
Dancing to some star seed band with tomorrow eyes in my head
God, I was only looking to put the smile back on my face
But into the brew tripped on life's avenue
Now the world's a different place
Ba-ba-ba-ba, open your heart to the sun
Ba-ba-ba-ba, kick up the dust, come undone
A brush with a desert storm in a dust cloud of thinkers out of the box
Lovers and creators all just citizens of Black Rock
God, I was only looking to put the smile back on my face
Someone said, 'Do you sing? Mariachi will swing'
Now the world's a peculiar place
Ba-ba-ba-ba, open your heart kiss the sun
Ba-ba-ba-ba, love in the dust come undone
To the laughing cuervo, listen ‘cos he knows that dawn begins to crack
When you shake the sand from your pockets ‘cos what's given you'll always get back
With the whip of a comet's tail I went blazing leagues across the sand
Found myself a burning man with a far out look in his hand
God, I was only looking to put the smile back on my face
But out of the blue, seems I jumped up the queue
Now the world's a different place
Ba-ba-ba-ba open your heart, kiss the sun
Ba-ba-ba-ba dance to your truth, come undone

Unoriginal Sin
(Findlay)
Moon is rising for you
Colours are flying for you
Turn your back and paper over the cracks
Poured it all out under that moon
Baby was crying for you
But you know she'll be arriving soon
The mice are away
So the cat’s gonna play
Stirred it all up with your silver spoon
Back there's no turning
Wheels will keep moving
Your lies won't stop me from
Going home going home
And there's no way are they coming back
(Oooh oooh oooh oooh)
Paved their way then you covered their tracks
(Ahh ahhh aaah aaah)
No way are they coming back
(Oooh oooh oooh oooh)
Paved their way then you covered their tracks
(Ahh ahhh aaah aaah)
Covered their tracks
(Covered their tracks)
Oh, with a killer story
(Covered their tracks)
Oh, that, yes man, I believe!
(Covered their tracks)
Oh, for one word from your
(Covered their tracks)
silver tongue
Baby was dying for you
But temptation was finding her view
Focusing in on unoriginal sin
Sailing away on a ship of fools… Bye Bye!
Back, there's no turning
(There's no turning back)
Wheels will keep moving
(Moving on)
Your lies won't stop me from
(You won't stop me, no)
Going home
Back there's no turning
(There's no turning back)
Wheels will keep moving
(Moving on)
Your lies won't stop me from
(You won't stop me, no)
Going home
Oh, no, no, no, no

Wild White Horses
(Findlay/Morley)
I feel the river running through me to heed the calling of the sea
I hear a whisper from the ocean
Do you remember me?
The rising tides of distant passion
Crashing waves upon the shore
The towering wall of my resistance tumbles to the floor, to the floor
I will return
Someday we’ll chase the moon into the sun
And on that sacred dawn we’ll see wild white horses running free
When every question has no answer
When every moment brings a trial
When every glass you fill is half empty think of me and smile
‘Cos I will return
To the beach where the midnight fires burn
And far beyond the flames we’ll see wild white horses running free
I feel the river running through me
Do I heed the caution or retreat?
I hear a whisper from the ocean
Do you remember me?
I will return
Someday we’ll chase the moon into the sun
And on that sacred dawn we’ll see wild white horses running free
Wanna watch them running free
Wanna watch them running free
Running, running free
Wild white horses ride from the dark into the light

She’s calling you back through the stars
Into the wind you go
Back to her arms
Back to her arms
Firefly, go back where you belong
Follow lights...
No, I’ll not keep you long
I know that we need to be strong
It’s time for you to go home
She’s calling you back through the twilight
Into the wind you go
Back to her arms
Back to her arms
So let go of me, but in your heart, hold me
Fly, firefly
Love me, still love me and darling see how we shine….
Firefly

Forget the Rain
(Findlay/Morley)
Look into my eyes, don’t you recognise me?
That storm across your mind, you can no longer hide it
I don’t want to cry, but I'm holding back a river
It’s impossible to lie, keeping so much inside
Laying here without you
Still wrapped up in the times
We merged into the stars so can’t we
Forget the rain tonight?
Forget the rain tonight
Mmm mmm
Darling, know that I still sing to you each night
I look towards the sky, pray that everything will be fine
It couldn't get much better
Than dancing in your arms
I know we could be together if we
Forget the rain tonight
Forget the rain tonight
No, don't worry ‘bout the weather outside
Forget the rain tonight
When the misty morning sun bathes us in his light
Feel the heavens smiling, everything’s gonna be alright
We'll fly above the clouds and leave it all behind
So don't you worry about the weather tonight
Doesn't get much better
Than waking in your arms
I know we can rise in love if we just
Forget the rain tonight
Forget the rain tonight
No, don’t worry about the weather outside
Forget the rain tonight...
Forget the rain
Oh, forget the rain tonight….

Solitaire

Stone love keep me happy
Blind love keep it locked in
Sleight of hand’ll twist your fate
Slow hand keep it flowing
Obeah is her knowing
Take your chance on her gift of sight
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Take a look, yeah take it all
Who’s the fairest of them all…?
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Cut the deck and pick a card
How I wonder who you are…
Dream up your selection
Three of cups my discretion
Ask no questions I won’t tell no lies
Death swerved your detection
Beautiful deception
Solitaire the world is yours tonight
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me will the hanged man fall?
How I wonder, who you are
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Cut the deck and pick a card
Who’s the fairest now you’ve come too far?
Mystic lady
Can you see the sparks?
Feel the wind rush through your hair
No more waiting
Freedom from the dark
How’s it feel, Solitaire?
Twinkle, twinkle little star
This time well, you’ve gone too far
To write my name across your burning sky
Yes, they called me Solitaire
I wear the moonlight in my hair
A secret hand of lovers spells goodbye
