Priest's Daughter

I’m gonna find a fisherman’s daughter
Live in a shack down on by the water
Take what it brings love the simple things
I’m gonna find a fisherman’s daughter
Meet somebody at the country dance
Or in the shopping centre just by chance
Someone from Brazil, someone from France
Wine and poetry and romance
I don’t know what to say
I want you to stay
If I can’t be with you
Then anyone, anyone will do
Winner of a beauty pageant
A successful real estate agent
Rock and roll singer or a movie star
Girl working behind the bar
I’m not looking for no priests daughter
I’ve moved on, washed in the holy water
I could go live anywhere
I’m not bothered I don’t care
I don’t know what to say
I want you to stay
If I can’t be with you
Then anyone, anyone will do

Sunshine Coast Girl
02:59
|
|||
|
Through the pines and through the cane
Through burning heat and pouring rain
Living for another time
I always dream that I see her again
I am lost and then she calls out my name
One thing on my mind
The girl that I left behind me
The girl that I left behind
That sweet loving sunshine
Sunshine Coast girl of mine
I always dream I fall asleep in her arms
Oh Southern girls have got their charms
But one thing, one thing on my mind
My heart falls back to the sunshine and the sand
Swimming in salt and holding her hand
I’m going back to where I can find
The girl that I left behind me
The girl that I left behind
That sweet loving sunshine
Sunshine Coast girl of mine

Living for Another Time
04:17
|

Baby the future is always on my mind
And history is never really that far behind
I am always
Living for another time
Living for another time
I climbed to the top of a mountain
taking notice of every stone
The view was just like they said it would be
I just had to see it on my own
All of my hoping consumes my heart
I’m showering my affections on a profitless past
Living for another time
Living for another time
Keeping everything real slow
moving carefully
I’m not making any mistakes
I’ve got history with me
And I am always ready
I am
Living for another time

Country Calling
04:57
|
|||
|
I was born out of date
For the things I love I arrived too late
When I’m feeling out of place
The country involves me with the most sincere embrace
Singing out for all things great
Songs of love, songs of hate
For the mind the body and the heart
For the music, the story and the art
The country she feeds me
Fills the water in my bowl
Whistles and leads me
Shining light on the darkness of the soul
Everybody knows I am a dog
The country she shines like the moon through the fog
I’ve heard it before
I am really listening now I am singing along
The saddest, loneliest songs
Tales of loss, when everything goes wrong
Have a way to soothe me
Speak to my spirit and move me
Like my heroes before me
I am changing my tune
The country is calling
I never heard it so true
It has been heard before
I feel it’s worth repeating
It will continue to be reborn
Its strong heart always beating

Holiness and Hell
04:25
|
|||
|
I never felt so safe, looking into her eyes
I’ve got to protect myself, with smiles and lies
But she reads me like a book, and I don’t know which way to look
She has me standing in my socks, singing to me from the rocks
Of holiness and hell
Holiness and hell
Holiness and hell
It gets harder to tell
I never felt so safe, in her embrace
Milk ran through my veins, looking into her face
Object of my desire, I step into the burning fire
Of holiness and hell
Holiness and hell
Holiness and hell
It gets harder to tell
It is a sacred thing
And it makes a fiery ring
These doubts that are man made are bound to their own age
Lose yourself in space, step outside this place
There is no one true love

My Hand
03:48
|
|||
|
Long time I have been away
Satisfied all of the day
In the night my mind leaves this land
My hand becomes your hand
Stains on my sheets
My pillow grease
I can stand
When my hand becomes your hand
Every night I think of you
The things that we might do
Think of everything I can
When my hand becomes your hand
In another zone of time
Your hand becomes mine
I dream on foreign sand
As my hand becomes your hand
Long time I have been away
Satisfied all of the day
In the night my mind leaves this land
My hand becomes your hand

Willing
05:23

Leave my calendar empty
Leave my pages blank
Restless doing nothing
If there’s a chance you’ll come I will wait
And you appear! It’s been so long
Without you dear everything turns out wrong
Sing me one of your songs
You’re there you’re in my ear and then you’re gone
I long so for your company
But I know that you can’t stay
Settled for delighting in the time I get
Waiting patiently while you’re away
Leave my calendar empty
Leave my pages blank
Staying up late with my whisky
Wishing I was Johnny or Hank
I listen all night for your voice
Pen in my hand
Guitar at the ready
I’m not making any plans
Sometimes you call when I’m not home
Sometimes when I’m not alone
But you are always more than welcome dear
Its useless trying on my own

Down in the Valley
04:44
|
|||
|
There is a place down in the valley on the street
Where you can see the crowd from the shade on a seat
There is a girl behind the bar filling glass after glass
Glass after glass you let the hours pass
All the things I ever wanted and everything I owned
Let them go
All that I never even noticed or left alone
Let me hold
It brings a different strength and you see some kind of truth
Clarity is born from the dregs of the brew
When everyone has left the girls have all gone home
Out there in the street in the dawn on your own
You sing
All the things I ever wanted and everything I owned
Let them go
All that I never even noticed or left alone
Let me hold
It comes to you in visions and it comes to you through song
Until you realise what it is you have wanted all along
The final clarity arrives after draining out the last
And I just want the girl who fills up the glass
Glass After glass I want the girl behind the bar
All the things I ever wanted and everything I owned
Let them go
All that I never even noticed or left alone
Let me hold
