SILVER AND GOLD
I was born in the city, they call the big smoke
I don’t remember much til I was four years old
That’s when my mother and my father, went their separate ways
It’s the year I started school, didn’t like it from the very first day
We grew up in the country, later by the sea
Spent our days riding horses, bicycles bare feet
We used to watch those mountain fires burn from that old trampoline
We used to watch those mountain fires burn from that old trampoline
We didn’t always need to know which train we’re getting on
Didn’t always need to ride home the same old road
We had everything we wanted, no need for silver and gold
We built a cubby house, high up in the tree
Camp out on the weekends til it blew down in the wind
And when that rain fell we’d run down to the creek
collect tadpoles with our hands
When that rain fell we’d run down to the creek
collect tadpoles with our hands
We didn’t always need to know which train we’re getting on
Didn’t always need to ride home the same old road
We had everything we wanted, no need for silver and gold
When the trouble came to our door
When the cops they’re standing on the porch
We were quick on our feet, we were young and naive
Never knew things were harder than they seemed
We never knew things were harder than they seemed
My mother worked hard every day she did her very best
Visit my dad in the holidays in a dusty town out west
And he took my twenty dollars, to buy some milk and bread
He came home with a carton of beer and a pack of cigarettes
We didn’t always need to know which train we’re getting on
Didn’t always need to ride home the same old road
We had everything we wanted, no need for silver and gold

THIS HEART OF MINE
When darkness is upon me won’t you walk by my side
Cause I’ve built these walls so high and I’m scared to look inside
I learned from my father, to have a bag always packed
To have one foot out the door, never look back
I’m not gonna leave
Just have patience with me
Its gonna take time
To mend this heart of mine
Your love for me is like an open book, so easy to read
My loves like a diary that’s locked and I’ve thrown away the key
I’m ready to break it open now, I’m read to see
I’m gonna tear out those pages, that no longer serve me
I’m not gonna leave
Just have patience with me
Its gonna take time
To mend this heart of mine
I will hold you, til our hair turns grey til there’s nothing left to say
And I will find you, when the road’s not straight
When it turns around, when you lose your way
I will hold you til our hair turns grey
til our dying day when there’s nothing left to say
I will love you, I will love you
I’m not gonna leave
I’m not gonna leave
Its gonna take time
To mend this heart of mine
When darkness is upon me wont you walk by my side

ROLLIN WHEEL
His heart left hers a long time ago
His body belongs now to the woman down the road
His wife lies alone in a bed so cold
And he comes home late, if he comes home at all
She asks where he’s been, “at the bar”
There’ll be a fist through the wall if she asks anymore
And he smells like red wine and he takes like cheating
She holds her breath and goes on believing him
And wonders where he went, that man she first met
From the depths of her heart she says
Save your last words
There’s a train coming
Won’t you be my rollin wheel
You see I’ve got all these suitcases to carry
Won’t you be my rollin wheel
She bore their first child, little did she know
That her husband was a father to the boy down the road
He left that woman, the years went on by
Three kids now and a promise forever built on a lie
She wonders where he went, that man she first met
From the depths of her heart she says
Save your last words
There’s a train coming
Wont you be my rollin wheel
You see I’ve got all these suitcases to carry
Wont you be my rollin wheel
She asked him to leave, held open the door
He packed his suitcase put a fist through the wall
She didn’t care where he was going, she didn’t need to know
He made his way back to the woman down the road
Save your last words
There’s a train coming
I can be my rollin wheel
You see I’ve got all these suitcases to carry
I can be my rollin wheel

WHEN YOU LEAVE
Flew in yesterday, on a plane to see you
And I prayed to god I’d hold your hand one more time
Driving through these old towns, remembering
When you were my lover, when you were my man
And you said I was the sweetest thing you’d ever seen
Take my love, take it all
Cause I’ve got time to make some more
Wear my heart on your sleeve
Take it with you when you leave
When we were together you were building houses
Mansions by the beach
I’d bring you lunch, we’d swim in the ocean
Share our love of the sea
You were my teacher, together we learned
And I loved you through and through
My feet were free to roam whenever they wanted to
And you said I was the sweetest thing you’d ever seen
Take my love, take it all
Cause I’ve got time to make some more
Wear my heart on your sleeve
Take it with you, when you leave
I walked that hallway to your door
With tears running down my face
And your wife like an angel held up her hand
And she wiped my tears away
Sunflowers and gerberas filled each corner of your room
You held me close, my heart was sinking,
You’re leaving this world too soon
Take my love, take it all
Cause I’ve got time to make some more
Wear my heart on your sleeve
Take it with you, when you leave

Til Night Meets The Sun

TIL NIGHT MEETS THE SUN
The winds are getting colder now, my hairs turning grey
Though I’m getting older it seems I’ve no wiser words to say
I keep pushing love away, when I could be pulling it near
Is that why I’m here to face my fears
The lines on my face and growing like roots through the soil
And I’m trying to make sense of this life, this mess, before I get too old
I’ve weathered the storms, I’ve pulled out my thorns, still there’s more
And I feel I’m facing this on my own
I feel I’m facing this on my own
When lightning strikes these stormy seas
I sail this boat til the shore I reach
When I am lost, broken down
I keep a light on inside til night meets the sun
Truth hides in darkness, love waits in the light
Sometimes I want to run like a bullet from a gun
Don’t want to stand here and fight
But my feet get too tired and this heart wants to stay and feel the rain
Through rain I’ll grow, I’ll find my way
Through rain I’ll grow, I’ll find my way
When lightning strikes these stormy seas
I sail this boat til the shore I reach
When I am lost, broken down
I keep a light on inside til night meets the sun
If I fall into the water
No one can save me now
I’ll ride the waves that hold me down and
Find my way, find that sun
When lightning strikes these stormy seas
I sail this boat til the shore I reach
When I am lost, broken down
I keep a light on inside til night meets the sun
