Call It Home
03:36

There’s a For Sale sign in the ground
I need more than this old town
Now our voices echo down the hall
We’re gonna leave some memories in these walls
We left all we can do without
My heart’s got us headed south
A family chasing bigger dreams
We just don’t know where this road leads
Throwing fear and caution to the wind
Never know when chances come again
There’s a new horizon calling me
In the name of opportunity
we’ll plant seeds and watch’em grow
Gonna find a place and call it home x 2
Call it home, call it home, home
Instrumental
Throwing fear and caution to the wind
Never know when chances come again
20 years are gone so fast
We made memories meant to last
Oh but if the wind calls us to go
We’ll just find a place and call it home

Hiding Out In Tuscany
04:01
|
|||
|
I always wonder where I’d be
If I learned to sail across the sea
To the other side which always seemed so good
And may be there’s a part of me
That’s hiding out in Tuscany
If I don’t go, I’ll never know I could
Sometimes the urge for going means you should
Take the train to find your missing piece
A plane to meet your wildest dreams
See the seven wonders on your way
Chasing freedom you’ll find liberty
Who knows the kind of mystery
That lies beyond the Golden Gate
Sometimes I see my destiny
It puts the world right at my feet
But then the seeds of doubt won’t let me look
If I could just set myself free
Then Paris would be calling me
And I’d be gone just like I know I should
Sometimes we all just need a little push
Chorus
Well sometimes the urge for going means you should

My Heart Goes With You
04:07
|
|||
|
If there was a star that I could wish on
I would save my wishes up for you
If I had a million lucky dollars
I’d give it up to you
Pre-chorus
And I hope you don’t forget
That my love will never end
Chorus
I would die for you, I still cry for you
And every time my heart beats,
it beats for you
With everyday that’s new,
my heart goes with you
No matter where the winding road
may lead you
Oo Oo
I still remember when I met you
The day that you arrived
the world stood still
When Hayley’s comet lit the night sky
A fire lit my heart and always will
Pre chorus / Chorus / Oo Oo
If there was a star that I could wish on,
I would save my wishes up for you

The More I Give
03:41
|
|||
|
Coffee’s gone cold,
thought only a minute ago
Leaves turning gold,
I can feel the snow won’t be long
And I can’t help wonder,
what is left to learn
And I can’t help wonder,
when I’ll have my turn
Refrain
The longer that I live
The better that it is
The more I give
Every new day,
makes me always crave something new
Every new move,
reminds me that I’m still moving too
And I can’t help wonder how it all began
And I can’t help wonder when it’s gonna end
Refrain
The longer that I live, the better that it is
Bridge
The more I give, the more I breathe
The less I think I really need
The more I give the more I get
The less I hold on to regret
And I can’t help wonder how it all began
And I can’t help wonder when it’s gonna end
The longer that I live, the better that it is

I'd Go Back Again
02:49
|
|||
|
I remember just like yesterday
Waiting all week long for Saturday
We used to sing ‘Those Were The Days’
Thought it always would be that way
Chorus
Everyone would sing round the piano
And the songs would carry
deep into the night
Half the town would be
on the verandah dancing
I was only 10 and if I could,
I’d go back again
I’d remember every melody
Every word that meant so much to me
There was nothing that we couldn’t play
Thought it always would be that way
Chorus
Bridge
Amber Ale with whiskey chasers
Laughter on familiar faces
Kids fall asleep underneath the table
Chorus
I was only 10 and if I could,
I’d go back again
Things were different then and if I could,
I’d go back again

Mother To Me
03:45
|
|||
|
Memories, Mulberries Fig Trees to climb
Late spring, a log swing,
laughing all the time
Mornings lost in words and melody
I still hear you tinkling ivory
Chorus
I feel your song flow through me,
I still see your blue eyes shine
And the last time that I heard you sing
you still made me cry
You coulda been most anything
you set your mind to be
But your heart was at its fullest
being mother,
a mother to me.
Verse 2
Sewing, Washing Cooking all day
And you’d know that your shadow
would not go away
Mornings lost..etc
Chorus
I feel your song …etc
Your music still flows through us
Your love was it’s purest being mother, mother to me

Better Not To Know
04:00
|
|||
|
We always knew to never cross the line
There’s danger in those hills
It’s a long way down in a copper mine
The ghosts will haunt you, you gotta life time to kill
Chorus
Cos there’s secrets in the Southern Flinders Ranges
Where the icy wind’ll chill you to the bone
Some things are better left unspoken
Sometimes it’s better not to know
Not to know
She was one for always keeping score
There’s fire behind those eyes
A tangled web, she’d heard it all before
One leads to another,
that’s the truth about lies
Chorus
Cos there’s secrets in the
Southern Flinders Ranges
Where the icy wind’ll chill you to the bone
Some things are better left unspoken
Sometimes it’s better not to know
Not to know not to know
not to know
Bridge
Some say there’s voices calling
in the winter wind
Small price to pay after
the pain and suffering
Chorus
Cos there’s secrets in the Southern Flinders Ranges
Where the icy wind’ll chill you to the bone
Some things are better left unspoken
Cos there’s secrets in the
Southern Flinders Ranges
Where the icy wind’ll chill you to the bone
Some things are better left unspoken
Some times it’s better not to know
Sometimes it’s better not to know
Not to know

Just Like It's Mine
03:50
|
|||
|
She pours one more coffee,
she cleans till it shines
Spends a little too much time alone
She misses her man,
and the children they made
She counts the days till, he’s home.
Chorus:
She’s fragile, she’s honest, sometimes she cries, sometimes she’s all she can be
She’s steady, she’s certain, sometimes too brave, & sometimes she’s too much for me
All of her contradictions, and all of her flaws stay hidden most of the time
But if she’s feeling loved or she’s feeling pain, I feel it just like it’s mine
Watching the light melt to warm tangerine,
The blackbirds fly home for the night.
She lives for these moments when he’s in her arms
The sun slowly sinks out of sight
Chorus
I feel it just like it’s mine

Heaven On Earth
03:09
|
|||
|
Somewhere, where the grass is greener
That’s the place we found
Somewhere, where the sun shines brighter
And lights the morning dew
Like diamonds dancing on the ground
Pre-chorus
It took us years, it took us miles
Some tears, a million smiles
But look at you and me and what we found (got)
Chorus
Our heaven on Earth
Our own little world
No matter how far
it’s wherever we are
Our heaven on Earth
Sometime when you’re leaving early
I wish that you could stay
I know that I can’t go with you
So instead I’ll keep the fire burning, while you’re away
Pre chorus
Chorus

Doing Fine
04:14
|
|||
|
I told everyone, I’m doing fine
Just like to have a little wine
One or two bottles
It ain’t no crime
Long as you all know
I’m doing fine
Just like you said I’m moving on
Almost forgot that you were gone
Can’t see that anything is wrong
No need to ask I’m moving on
Don’t know why
They all ask after me
Move along
Cos there’s nothing here to see
Can I just enjoy my own company
Please don’t come and bother me
I think I look fine and I’m okay
You know my face has
always looked this way
Never really had that much to say, anyway
All you need to know is I’m okay
I’m doing fine and I’m okay
