Returning by GOLDHEIST
in one life so much will change
but I have my memories
returning, returning
like old friends
and in this place the pictures flash
the years collide, a younger me is
returning, returning
people in your life come and go, come and go
try to look ahead, look ahead
but you never know, you never know
vignettes and memories and memories
carefully archived in galleries, in galleries
returning, returning
(coming back to me now. it's coming back
coming back to me now - hey hey)
returning, returning
(coming back to me now. it's coming back
coming back to me now - hey hey)
returning, returning
and could I change my history
if I could, for just one day be
returning, returning
people in your life come and go, come and go
try to look ahead, look ahead
but you never know, you never know
vignettes and memories and memories
carefully archived in galleries, in galleries
returning, returning
(coming back to me now. it's coming back
coming back to me now - hey hey)
returning, returning
(coming back to me now. it's coming back
coming back to me now - hey hey)
returning, returning
Daughter by KATY WREN
daughter, some will adore you for who you are
and some will not be there to see you
and some will adore you and leave you
and some will not do much to please you
and some will not love you but see you
and some won't be true but won't leave you
but to one you'll forever be Queen
soft light, soft light that comes through the window
window is closed now but oh, how
I once loved someone so precious
he grew into someone who felt less
and life must go on though our hearts hurt
the mountains remain through the blizzards
waiting for sunshine in freezing
waiting for snow to melt
melt through the grass
nothing moves fast when you're down
a blue changing stream, frenzied and clean into calm
there's joy in just listening to the song of a bird
singing it's morning song at your window of hurt
the window, the window is closed now but oh, how
I once loved watching your rainbows
light spectrums raining on the bedroom walls
a myriad of dreams that made our house a home
try to see new light through old windows
the love that you feel in your hearts grows
like jasmine in summer on warm wind that flows
through hearts all over the world
it moves through the grass
but nothing moves fast when you're down (heart hurts)
a blue rushing stream frenzied and clean into calm
there's joy in just listening to the sound of a bird
singing it's morning song at the window of hurt
the window will open one day again
when the rain washes clean the dust and the pain
this is for you, daughter of mine
your soul is so old but love is so blind
may you find the one who'll treasure your heart
who'll always be there even when you're apart
be loved...
be loved...
who knows, who knows what we're here for
but to love and be loved
to love and be loved
to love and be loved...
Without A Doubt by MELISSA FRASER and Ashleigh Dallas
without a doubt, within, without
silence the voices in your head
pull apart a damaged heart
life's a book that you ain't read
lessons learned, the wheel it turns
but you heal and grow with time
don't hide your face, fail with grace
clear some space inside your mind
oh oh oh
walk the walk, work on yourself
there ain't no free ride
if you don't hold on, it's a slippery slide
cut your losses, not your time
some things you've gotta leave behind
without a doubt
things I've learned, stored away
in my pocket for a stronger day
feel the sun from everyone
let the lovers guide my way
and I'll be kind until I find
the beauty in the pain
if you don't agree, it's fine with me
don't ride the haters train
oh oh oh
walk the walk, work on yourself
there ain't no free ride
if you don't hold on, it's a slippery slide
cut your losses, not your time
some things you've gotta leave behind
without a doubt
which way to turn, how much to burn
the things we all go through
will it get cold when it unfolds
overthinking what we do
let go, let live, let love within
without a doubt
let go, let live, let love begin
walk the walk, work on yourself
there ain't no free ride
if you don't hold on, it's a slippery slide
cut your losses, not your time
some things you've gotta leave behind
to make space inside your mind
some things you've gotta leave behind
without a doubt
let go, let live, let love within
without a doubt
let go, let live, let love begin
without a doubt...
Breathe by BELINDA DAY
breathe, your time will come
remember who you are and where you come from
you got lost along the way, priorities change
you'll push through and your time will come
breathe, your time is near
take a look in the mirror, who do you see here
same child it was before, you just learnt to be strong
you'll push through 'cause the time is near
watching as the world goes by, sailing past
but you've gotta take a new direction
and raise that glass
breathe, your time is now
jump on that wagon and show them how
twist your fate to where you choose, settle in for the ride
take that leap of faith 'cause the time is now
watching as the world goes by, you're sailing past
I see you took a new direction
now raise that glass
breathe, just take it in
admire the view, look where you've been
you've worked hard, that's what it's about
it's your turn now, take your bow
Something Good by JANE A NAOI
all that's left behind in the wake of our mistakes
every turn that turns out to be wrong
all the times that life dismantles who we think we are
leaves us holding ashes and torn
words we can't unsay, hearts we can't unbreak
things we didn't know we needed 'til they're gone
we rage amongst the wreckage and see only regrets
we might be making 'meant-to-bes' all along
take the broken pieces, spare parts
missed connections, damaged hearts
acts of love misunderstood
take it all...and make something good
truths we cannot face, lies we can't let go
a mirror room of make believe
hopes that held us prisoner, caught us in the undertow
we are the only one's we ever deceive
too many broken promises
too many easy lies
too many times the world demands
we break or compromise
better to break than compromise
take the broken pieces, spare parts
missed connections, damaged hearts
fears we fought to keep at bay
lessons learned the hard way
acts of love misunderstood
take it all...take it all...and make something good
Split in Two by BROOKIE GILLETT
the sun comes up and the moon goes down
the moon will rise and then the sun will set
never shall they share the same bright sky
it's the same with her dear loves
she says goodbye and then she says hello
again she says goodbye and then she says hello
never may she simply say hello
there's always a sad goodbye
she leads two separate lives, she's a mother and lover
one with screen-time rules and little arms wrapped 'round her neck
the other spent drinking whisky and dancing in the kitchen, and kissing you
will there come a time when her heart's not split in two?
she leads two separate lives, she's a mother and lover
one with Pokemon and heart-breaking school drop-offs
the other spent holding hands and going out for coffee, and being seduced
will there come a time when her suitcase is not in use?
are they okay when she's loving you
you are you okay when she's loving them
is she okay loving all of you
now her heart is split in two
the sun comes up and the moon goes down
the moon will rise and then the sun will set
never shall they share the same bright sky
it's the same with her sweet loves
it's the same with her sweet loves
Same Skin by AMY VEE
dusty cover, widely read
tapestry's all tattered threads
ghosts that wander through my halls
are just echoes, remnants of lightning bolts
weather-worn and all at sea
I cut my sail cloth accordingly
not as bright-eyed as once I was
still my hope-filled heart beat is holding strong
I'm in the same skin
but the walls are closing in
same skin
I took my first breath in
same skin
it's a different time but it's the same skin
and every line is a beginning
so protect and cover me
multi-layered anatomy
cut me, bruise me, I'll wear the scars
a walking canvas for stories past
I'm in the same skin
the walls are closing in
same skin
I took my first breath in
same skin
it's a different time but it's the same skin
and every line is a beginning
I'm trying to avoid your gaze
hope you don't remember me this way
just a shadow of my former face
my song still plays in the...
same skin
my heart beats in the
same skin
my mind aches in the
same skin
it's a different time but it's the same skin
and every line is a beginning
every line is a beginning
every line is a beginning
Woman in Love by MELISSA FRASER
I'm a sucker, I'm a fool
I let you break all of my rules
I let you see, I let you see, I let you see
I'm a woman in love
I follow you 'round, show the whole town
that you are mine, as though that you were
I cannot hide, I cannot hide, I cannot hide
I'm a woman in love
and with the music, we play along
completely uncertain of the words to the song
but it's better than silence, to settle for storms
to settle for longing, than to let you go, oh whoa
and so I wait in the bitter black night
I'm waiting for an appropriate time
but it never comes, it never comes, it never comes
to a woman in love
and with the music, we play along
completely uncertain of the words to the song
but it's better than silence, to settle for storms
to settle for longing, than to let you go
I've been a fool since you came along
and you'll keep on fooling me after you're gone
but it's better than silence, to settle for storms
to settle for longing than to let you go, oh whoa
I'm a woman in love
Young Minds by BELINDA DAY and Felicity Urquhart
lying in the grass making pictures in the sky
running in the yard to catch butterflies
making daisy chains for your Mama
when she's home from work
causing trouble with your brother
'cause he always has to get in first
laughter rings freely
life is so easy
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
safe where they belong
where they belong
a group of kids at school light their first cigarette
trying to look cool like they can handle it
then a fight breaks out and a crowd appears and it's on
and your brother's in the middle when the teacher comes along
and he's gone
covered in bruises
winners and losers
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
find where they belong
looking at the world with a child's mind
playing with the rules for their happiness you find
finished school and moved away and did your best
you're holding down a job and working at the rest
making daisy chains with your daughter in the afternoon
flicking tea towels in the evening
running around the room
laughter still ringing
circle keeps spinning and spinning...
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
safe where they belong
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
safe where they belong
where they belong
where they belong
Wayward by KATY WREN
wanna come over in the rain?
I will kiss you, it will be fun
you're like a court-jester in my heart
I don't even know why I came here
to this deserted palace place
the sand in my eyes stops me seeing
the wind over my words stops me bothering
to cry out, to cry why did I come here, oh why
and I like this distraction
but I'm not sure if it's my time
and how long can anything last
when you've had so much wine
it's as red as my blood
and the smile on my face
tells everybody where I've been
doesn't discriminate
for a wayward wolf like me
'til now it's always been the moon and me
just my moon over my only sea
and everything after dawn disappears
in the brightness of answered questions
and the billowing severity of details seen
where the blind see more than ones with sight can see
all the concrete could not hide their scrutiny
their broken dreams snowing
on my apartment window are cold
leaves me feeling dirty and old
and I like this distraction
but I'm not sure if it's my time
and how long can anything last
when you've had so much wine
it's as red as my blood
and the smile on my face
tells everybody where I've been
doesn't discriminate
for a wayward wolf like me
though I never thought I would find a place
for a wayward wolf like me
She by GOLDHEIST
sometimes when She comes in
She just sits quietly and bides her time
She's clever and strategic
and She always toes the party line
ooh just when I think I'm safe
She rushes in just like a hurricane
and when the storm is over
I feel temporarily insane
She says that She loves me
that it's all for the best
a rush of adrenaline
ice cold in my chest
help me to remember
that nothing stays the same
this time She can take the blame
sometimes She looks at you
and She can only see your faults, your flaws
She makes my stomach turn, She makes me cry
She makes me clench my jaw
ooh the honeymoon is over, She cries
it's time to cut and run
She leaves me to my solitude
but the damage is done
She says that She loves me
that it's all for the best
a rush of adrenaline
ice cold in my chest
help me to remember
the feel of sunlight's glow
sunshine that She has never known
She says that She loves me
that it's all for the best
a rush of adrenaline
ice cold in my chest
help me to remember
the feel of sunlight's glow
sunshine that She has never known
Wild Heart by JANE A NAOI
you are moonlight, you are the wild heart
I never know where you're going
but I follow, even afraid
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
you're the dream, you are the dreamer
I believe you, then I doubt you
but I never stop and turn back
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
you are starlight, you are the wild heart
when you're near me the world shimmers
and it calls me down in my soul
to follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
you are mystery, you are darkness
I run through your shadows
my heart racing with all of my fears
as I follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
I have wandered, I have strayed
my bed cannot be unmade
I know I cannot go back to the start
but even from afar
I'll always follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart...
My Love by BROOKIE GILLETT
(text by Andrew Marvell "The Definition of Love" 1681)
my love is of a birth as rare
as 'tis for object strange and high
it was begotten by despair
upon impossibility
magnanimous despair alone
could show me so divine a thing
where feeble hope could ne'er have flown
but vainly flapped it's tinsel wing
my love, my love, my love
my love, my love, my love
and yet I quickly might arrive
where my extended soul is fixt
but fate does iron wedges drive
and always crowds itself betwixt
for fate with jealous eyes does see
two perfect loves, no lets them close
their union would her ruin be
and her tyrannical pow'r depose
my love, my love, my love
my love, my love, my love
and therefore her decrees of steel
us as the distant poles have plac'd
though love's whole world on us doth wheel
not by themselves to be embrac'd
unless the giddy heavens fall
and earth some new convulsion tear
and, us to join, the world should all
be cramp'd into a planisphere
as lines, so loves oblique may well
themselves in every angle greet
but our so truly parallel
though infinite, can never meet
therefore the love which us doth bind
but Fate so enviously debars
is the conjunction of the mind
and opposition of the stars
my love, my love, my love
my love, my love, my love
Red Desert Heart by AMY VEE
there's a place I long to go
where you turn on the radio
and get nothing but static
where the roads are narrow veins
coursing toward a red desert heart
and you allow yourself to cry
'cause out here tears dry before they hit the ground
and this endless open space
is the perfect hiding place from whatever gets you down
and you can give yourself permission to let go
stand up to your mind, sit with your demons
getting lost is your one-way ticket to home
take off
we will find a way to land
take off
we've horizons in our hands
take off
if you've got fire in your soul
take off
crash and burn, never learn until you let go
and you allow your bonds to break
surrender aching to the acres of nihility
it's an eviction of release, and absolution from the feeling
you're not worthy to just be
and you can let the chips fall wherever they may
submit to your fear, hang out your hang-ups
follow smoke and you might just burst into flames
take off
we will find a way to land
take off
we've horizons in our hands
take off
feel the fire in your soul
take off
crash and burn, never learn until you let go
The River by GOLDHEIST
after all these years
I can still hear her call my mother Rose
coffee in hand, cigarette smoke, Scorpio stare
windows with coloured glass
and the walls with the silvery stars
my grandmother's house
made of stone, full of love
and I can hear the river, flowing through my mind
well I was just a little girl, but I remember
and I can feel the river, water running through my hands
slipping away to the sea, everything changes...
wouldn't you agree?
and now my mother's mother lies
cradled gently in the mountain's arms
side by side, next to the only man she ever loved
well I look out over the hills
from the verandah where we used to play Queen
my grandmother's house
made of stone, full of love
and I can hear the river, flowing through my mind
well I was just a little girl, but I remember
and I can feel the river, water running through my hands
slipping away to the sea, everything changes...
wouldn't you agree?
feel the river running in me
wash my worries out to the sea...
and I can hear the river, flowing through my mind
well I was just a little girl, but I remember
and I can feel the river, water running through my hands
slipping away to the sea, everything changes...
wouldn't you agree?
