Lover Hold me right You shelter me From the cold, cold night Holy Your arms are so holy Lay them down my chest Lay them down my whole The Autumn leaves Fall gently at my door The chance to be with you once more As the snow begins to fall
2.
Don't you love the drops upon your skin crawling down Your eyes against the forest wind are ancient, far from us The hail hits the corrugated iron, crashing down The lights go out and just for now my love, we are free The distant hollow crack of wood is hard to hear my love But if you listen carefully I swear it is here my love

Country Love 03:18
Three months back She met a boy with a thousand tatts Took her for a ride on his strong boy back Over the hills in the rye Country love is born in the night on a warm rooftop Scissors paper rock I will cross my heart I'll stick a needle in my eye He got laid She got the flat when they both got paid Jumping 'round in circles Well city life's okay If all that you've left is a ride Our hearts are thrown in the smoke Our young cold hands We love it when we're broke This old child love of innocence and hope It's cut-throat stuff City folk don't bother far

Burning 04:23
The fate of us depends on you I am falling through the doubts and the clues This stone must surely break apart While I'm waiting for the day that you depart This love, it's out into the world This destruction is out of my own control So I wait and live without you dear I am scrolling through the lists of endless fears I am burning A drop of old red wine will keep this beat in time A drop of old red wine will keep my heart in line, 'till you decide This young love's a fragile bond Like the wick on a fatal bomb, I am burning.
5.
The wind it gently gathers The dust up on my feet I run my little fingertips On fences down the street Summer wants to leave me But will you come to me I suppose I'd face my demons But I'd rather do it hard The warmth of all the sympathy From friends is hard to part Luck has lost its timbre The forest South A carriage haul Makes a deafening pound The leaves have lost their lustre On the forest floor It is where I will fall This young little blue gum Was part of me Should it fall fall fall That might just be the death of me
6.
I Met A Girl 04:14
I met a girl She fought for me, yeah she did She's just a girl Who thought she knew what I did So why would she love me now? I met a girl She caught the wrong city line She's just a girl Who saw the comforts of my time Ten years is a long long time So why would she love me now?
7.
She got into a panic in the night Staring at the ceiling there's a blinding light She swerved off the road And killed her little boy Four young little years ain't that long She could see the tears of everybody Long before she got arrested In the night time coming home She shuffled to her cell all dressed in white Didn't look so well under the grinding lights She knelt to the floor And kissed away her fight Twenty bloody years ain't that long All the crap and fears she'd past And gone she screams in her head Like my son I'm dead!
8.
Daddy he used to smash up the gate And tell poor grandma, hell don't you wait It wont be long until you fill a grave And mamma said It's in his head boy Don't you shout at me instead It won't be long You're on your own one day So he gathered a couple of things he could take Some jeans and a hat With a slam and a shake The door swung so hard It beat up the Queensland walls And his friend said mate If you're stuck for a place We can open the shed We can make it your space We'll get you a job at the local down the road We're gonna throw that old chestnut down the river I'm gonna grow and dust my hat off at your grave
9.
Child's Soul 02:38
Hold my leather hands Old and worn The earth thy lay upon Will soon be gone You're a broken man Lost and wild A forest crashing down Around you child The hardest working man Will feed his son When once upon a time Began with one So fall loved And grow old We'll all be leaving here A child's soul
