DUST
(lyrics and music by Hester Fraser)
I see the lines on your face
I see the look in your eye
I know the love you have for this place
I see the broken clouds just passing by
and you try so hard you almost break
and you give and give 'til there's no more
but hold on for one more day
keep holding our for that first drop of rain
and I'll be here, you have to trust
I'll dry your tears
when your dreams are turned to dust...
to dust...
I see the creeks have run dry
the earth is barren and dead
white bones bleached in the sun
and the weight of the world on your shoulders
and you try so hard you almost break
and you give and give 'til there's no more
but hold on for one more day
keep holding our for that first drop of rain
and I'll be here, you have to trust
I'll dry your tears
when your dreams are turned to dust...
to dust...
got to keep holding on...
got to be, got to be strong...
so hold on for one more day
keep holding our for that first drop of rain
and I'll be here, you have to trust
I'll dry your tears
when your dreams are turned to dust...
to dust...
RETURNING
(lyrics and music by Hester Fraser)
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
LET ME BE
(lyrics and music by Hester Fraser)
lovely man, come to me
I need a little love, but it's got to be free
feeling sad and a little lonely
missing someone from across the sea
across the sea...oh
hey boy from across the sea
I wish that you knew just what you do to me
I'm so broken, so so broken
why can't you let me be?
just let me be...
'cause I can't take it anymore
baby it's the last straw
and I'm going down again
if I'd had had my way, I'd make you stay
and my live would be ok
take me to the sunset
never never forget
what it feels to be this way
don't stop until you find it
telling you, it's worth it
nothing else will be the same...
CALL OF THE WILD
(lyrics and music by Hester Fraser)
I hear you calling me
across the hills, across the sea
and it echoes, echoes in my memory
calling, calling softly...
this mighty land from which I've come
endless skies and burning sun
the race of life it will be run
shore to shore...
this mighty land from which I've come
endless skies and burning sun
the race of life it will be run
shore to shore
across the hills, across the sea
and it echoes, echoes in my memory
calling, calling softly
calling, calling softly...
THUNDER OF MY HEART
(lyrics and music by Hannah Fraser)
I've got so many things I could say
and they're all about love in some way
knee to the ground
we are loves prey
swoop to the heart
it's a good day
and he said "baby you're the one,
what's your number?"
well I couldn't hear him above the thunder
of my heart, heart, heart
of my heart, heart heart!
he had so many things he would say
but they weren't about love in any way
kiss and caress me in loves name
I won't try take you...
and he said "baby you're the one,
what's your number?"
well I couldn't hear him above the thunder
of my heart, heart, heart
of my heart, heart heart!
well I've been really very busy
spreading my wings
my wings, oh my wings
love's not more important
than other daily things
other daily things, oh other daily things
but he said, oh he said,
yes he said, oh he said...
well he said "baby you're the one,
what's your number?"
well I couldn't hear him above the thunder
of my heart, heart, heart
of my heart, heart heart!
BOUND TO BREAK
(lyrics and music by Hannah Fraser)
just to breathe is our only choice
when nothing feels quite right
bow our heads and pray we're wrong
nothing is too much
'cause we're bound to break
and we're bound to fall sometimes
and the hurt that breaks us
only makes us stronger
I could cry a thousand tears
run a hundred miles from here
you could say you love me
but the truth is plain and clear
it's clear...
all the days they went on by
they were asking me to breathe
singing darling, darling
it's your chance to leave
'cause we're bound to break
and we're bound to fall sometimes
and the hurt that breaks us
only makes us stronger
I could cry a thousand tears
run a hundred miles from here
you could say you love me
but the truth is plain and clear
it's clear...
run a mile it's not that far
what's too far for me
writing poems makes no difference
this is wrong you see...
I could cry a thousand tears
run a hundred miles from here
you could say you love me
but the truth is plain and clear
it's clear...
BRAND NEW
(lyrics and music by Hester Fraser)
running in circles, chasing shadows
and we may laugh and makes us wild
trying to balance, trying to fly
always trying not to fall
and here we are
the lives that live the music...
and it's easy being young
we are brave and we are free
and though we know in years to come
these things may change
we are we are we are
like brand new...
we are the sacred pioneers
the ones who make the world go 'round
ever changing, ever flowing
drifting tragic messed up love
and here we are
the lives that live the music...
and it's easy being young
we are brave and we are free
and though we know in years to come
these things may change
we are we are we are
like brand new...
HARD TO SAY
(lyrics and music by Hester Fraser)
so there you are, right in front of me
so much to say but the words won't come out
I begin to shake, I turn away
and the moment is lost
when it's hard to say
the things I want to say
when the moment's gone
before a chance to pray
what if I die tomorrow
will I have told you how much I care?
you look at me but I just turn away
can't show you
how my heart feels inside
you hurt me so, but I want you to know
what's really within
when it's hard to say
the things I want to say
when the moment's gone
before a chance to pray
what if I die tomorrow
will I have told you how much I care?
so there you are, right in front of me
I'm going to show you how my heart feels inside
when it's hard to say
the things I want to say
when the moment's gone
before a chance to pray
what if I die tomorrow
will I have told you how much I care?
