Out In The Field

I held the torch
drawn to the flame
but you made the mould
and I melted away
left in the dark
burnt out from the thrill
the only light left to find
way out in the field
Another row sown
in the silent divide
where the colours all run
and the quiet can hide
my back knows the strain
hard work for no yield
at least i don't hear your name
way out in the field
These roots they run deep
the ties they do bind
may one day you know
understanding takes time
the wind's at my tail
the weight's off my heels
my hearts laid to rest
way out in the field
Days drop like the rain
they roll like the wheel
at least I don't hear your name
way out in the field
at least I don't hear your name
way out in the field

Louise

Lonesome and Loving
well that's my friend
what she finds she holds onto
till the bitter end
eyes always wandering
her hairs half tied
she never fit the mould
did she even try?
Don't ask me how Louise is
Louise is doin' fine
she's wrapped herself up tight against the wind
what's his name that she's with
can't say i didn't try
so don't ask me how Louise is
cause Louise is doin' fine
Hard times always find her
landing at her feet
in between she's only kicking stones
down a one way street
front door's always open
the floor's wearing thin
from the string of cowboys and dreamers
the wind keeps blowing in
Don't ask me how Louise is
Louise is doin' fine
she's wrapped herself up tight against the wind
what's his name that she's with
can't say i didn't try
so don't ask me how Louise is
cause Louise is doin' fine
Maybe tomorrow
maybe somewhere down the track
she'll by riding high
when a good one doubles back
Don't ask me how Louise is
Louise is doin' fine
she's wrapped herself up tight against the wind
what's his name that she's with
can't say i didn't try
so don't ask me how Louise is
cause Louise is doin' fine

Flowers On My Doorstep
03:03
|
|

|
In the name of the father
son and the holy ghost
I swear to you that you're the one
that I love the most
but them wandering eyes are telling sign
of a promise long forgot
still you place a kiss upon my hand
and cry forget me not
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me
another dozen roses
to set your conscience free
a pile of dried up blooms
is all that I can see
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me
You said we'd be together
until our dying day
but I was broken, I was blinded
by the endless bend and sway
then you come along
telling tales of regret
if I took a dime for every time
you'd never clear the debt
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me
another dozen roses
to set your conscience free
a pile of dried up blooms
is all that I can see
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me
The dinner might be burnt
and the coffee's sometimes cold
but I'm putting on my Sunday best
and ironing out the fold
I'm gonna head out on the town
dance until the sky falls down
When your demons come a-callin'
sit down at the pew
whisper low your problems
they're between he and you
cry father oh father
lord what have I done
I've wasted all my wishes
and I lost my one true one
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me
another dozen roses
to set your conscience free
a pile of dried up blooms
is all that I can see
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me
Flowers on my doorstep
with a note from you to me

The Cowboy Song

He was the smokin' gun
ten years on the run
I was the only one
who got me through
each day a new song
we danced to every one
still those nights were long
then there's you
Homeward bound
on the misty mountain trail
won't you ride with me
I'm taking my leave
your sweet Abilene
Bar girls wear a smile
in their barroom style
he'd lay there for a while
just another round or two
ain't no peace of mind
this old well's running dry
it's just the daily grind
then there's you
Homeward bound
on the misty mountain trail
won't you ride with me
I'm taking my leave
your sweet Abilene
I walk this town
with my head hid down
there's rumours around
I'm leaving
like the sun knows best
laying down in the West
this time, this time you'll see
Homeward bound
on the misty mountain trail
won't you ride with me
I'm taking my leave
your sweet Abilene
I'm taking my leave
your sweet abilene

You Changed Me For Good
03:21
|
|

|
I love you for patience
when I walked through your door
you could tell that I'd never
loved a woman before
I'm not sure you knew
I'd be coming back for more
darling, you changed me for good
I love you for letting
me buy this old guitar
I try to write down
how lucky we are
as long as these strings keep on ringing
I'll never go too far
darling, you changed me for good
Forgive me for thinking
our path would run straight
we'd waltz on down
by some devine fate
you brought me round
before it was too late
darling, you changed me for good
I love you for singing
it's what a songbird should do
I love you for letting
me sing along too
as long as i am living
it's all I want to do
darling, you changed me for good
Forgive me for thinking
our path would run straight
we'd waltz on down
by some devine fate
you brought me round
before it was too late
darling, you changed me for good
darling, you changed me for good

Throw another dime into the well
another dime or two
throw another dime into the well
that rainy day is a comin' soon
One more drop will feed the soil
the cracks will mend and ease the toil
then solid ground will turn to mud
the banks will break then the flood
Throw another dime into the well
another dime or two
throw another dime into the well
that rainy day is a comin' soon
Bet it all on the barrel head
said goodbye to every cent
send down some pennies from heaven
or else there's just no tellin'
Throw another dime into the well
another dime or two
throw another dime into the well
that rainy day is a comin' soon
a dollar short and a day late
toss of the coin, have a little faith
like Earth, wind and fire
they can raise the dead or take you alive
the heavy curse from way back when
I'll lay me down before i lose it all again
hold on tight, let the other fold
the clouds are rollin' in
Throw another dime into the well
another dime or two
throw another dime into the well
that rainy day is a comin' soon

What I've Come To Know
03:26

Met you on the way to anyplace else
yeah I was the fool but even so
when the rain falls the river's gonna flow
oh darling what I've come to know
Now time is no my own as we surrender to the day
and the roses are still tired and overgrown
maybe next year we'll plant another row
oh darling what I've come to know
Come June there'll be snow
then the August winds will blow
seems like their chasing time away
in this little house of stone
under the shade of the pines
it's where we will stay
Born in a storm, in a season of change
sheltered by the mountains watchful shadow
can we stay this way forever layin' low
oh darling what I've come to know
Come June there'll be snow
then the August winds will blow
seems like their chasing time away
in this little house of stone
under the shade of the pines
it's where we will stay
May you grow to be gentle like a willow
and move with the tide as it runs
you've given me a reason to let the light in
I'm gonna give you the sun
Never been so sure of anything yet somehow sure of nothing
sometimes I think the cracks will start to show
then you remind me to let go
oh darling what I've come to know

The Great Divide
04:01
|
|
||

Steady on the steal rail boys
Steady on the wheel
When the light has left and evenings round
We’ll be working still
Forty thousand feet of blue
To dress this whole town in
This is where we’ll build the wall
Start anew again
The war is over now
We will meet the changing tide
I’m gonna grab a pick and a shovel
Break on through the great divide
This country’s home to virgin snow
It covers up the sins
For some the memories overflow
And the mountain closes in
Canon’s echo round the town
As we move on through the stone
We lose a man for every mile
They’re a long way from home
The war is over now
If there’s a god left to abide
I’m gonna grab a pick and shovel
Break on through the great divide
Go on now, head out on the town
Throw down a round or two
There’s plenty of pretty Sydney girls
To see the long and lonely through
I’m heading home before the dawn
Breaks way through the night
When I’m there I’ll kiss my girl
tuck my boy in tight
The war is over now
We all need a reason why
I’m gonna grab a pick and a shovel
Break on through the great divide

Whispers In The Rain
04:54
|
|

Outside the kitchen window
Stood a weeping willow tree
In need of some tendin’
Like you and me
A silent house
On the edge of town
Where time stood still
Waiting on the walls to come down
Will you take me with you when it’s time to fly?
For the river is long and the mountain’s high
We’ll roll away the stones from days gone by
Like whispers in the rain, you and I
Bird in the sky
Going with the breeze
Feels the seasons change
Before the falling of the leaves
When the storms were coming in
Without saying goodbye
We could have caught a train to anywhere
And went running with the tide
Will you take me with you when it’s time to fly?
For the river is long and the mountain’s high
We’ll roll away the stones from day gone by
Like whispers in the rain, you and I
We’ll roll away the stones
Like whispers in the rain, you and I
We’ll roll away the stones
Like whispers in the rain, you and I
We’ll roll away the stones
Like whispers in the rain, you and I
Outside the kitchen window
Stands the weeping willow tree
In need of some tendin’
Like you and me
