All the times I had a chance To walk another road Stop a while by the riverside See how it flowed Look into your tearful eyes And whisper I love u And nothing now can save me I broke a heart so true (4 bar break) Winter brings a sudden chill Up and down my spine But it ain’t as cold as being alone With a ring on the vine Stare into the firelight at things I cant undo I burnt too many bridges And broke a heart so true I tried to live this life by my own rules While im living in a world, world of fools Now there’s just my wicked soul to blame While I cry myself to sleep and softly call your name I shoulda kept that promise, I made to u that night I can’t believe I let you go into her arms so tight I thought we’d last forever Float into the blue Pity the poor reched girl That breaks a heart so true Pity the poor reched girl, that breaks a heart so true

Temptation 02:54
Don’t wanna lose the best thing I’ve found I’ve been so high I can’t come down If your ship was setting sail then I’d break out of jail As long as you still want me around CH: And I will laugh in the face of temptation Cos temptation ain’t tempting to me I will go to my grave With the love that you gave And that’s the only thing I’d ever need You’ll never know how much you mean When I close my eyes, its you that I see Well I’m throwing round clichés But from the heart I will say I’m nothing without you next to me CHORUS x 2 That’s the only thing I’d ever need x 3

Young Once 03:28
Today I played a song for little girl She was singing blackbird oh so sweet With the same golden tone & ringlet curls Reminded me of you You were once innocent and filled with dreams Filled with happy endings and joyful screams And it swallows me up to think this little girl shares your destiny CH: And she reminds me of how I used to be Strumming the same chords in the same company All that time we spent Only to forget And say we were young once…. (And say we were young once 2ND TIME ROUND) BREAK (cello intro) Ever so brightly her eyes do beam Pure flowing water through an endless stream And all the pretty colours of the rainbow Turn to a bitter red Casually walking down the street To a corner where they did meet And now the sentence is complete But still doesn’t bring you back REPEAT CHORUS (repeated twice) (Backing vocal These birds of colour and of light Oh how they fly so high x 2) Now these days she just sits and stares Burnt out candles and old rocking chairs And remembering love she once had And all that life would bring Seems all I feared would come true Its staring right back at me and into you When did her rainbow become so blue And memories fade to white CHORUS x 2 (young….. on first one)

Consumed 04:56
Totally consumed by you Walking down a lane, to a quiet avenue Now I’m out of my head, I’d rather be dead than consumed by you Never did I have any doubt the chemistry weren’t strong And we’d have nothing to talk about Now im out of my head, id rather be dead Than consumed by you BR: Your arms when you held me Your lips when we kissed The songs we were singing Oh how could I have missed Something that’s been there all along Feelings so strong and now I’m consumed by you Totally consumed by you When you touched my body Or held my hand I knew I’d gone over the edge Sick with desire and consumed by you I call you up on the phone You never answer Does that mean you’re not alone I’m going out of my head I’d rather not’ve cared Than be consumed by you Well I go over and over that moment in my head Find myself gripping both sides of my bed It can’t be forgotten, nor can it repair What I feel in my heart is now better left unsaid…… Totally consumed by you The times when I see you And pretend I’m doing good I can no longer pretend You’re more than a friend I’m consumed by you Now could you ever feel the same? Feel this heart ache, this envy & this pain Feel right out of your head Pull the trigger now you’re dead And consumed… Now I’m outta my head, I’d rather be dead Than consumed by you Now get into my bed And outta my head I’m consumed….

In the time between the moments In the space outside my walls In the instance, in the presence of my mind I see it all I’ll take your hand and we will wander Through this place that I know Beyond existence, in the presence of my heart CHORUS: Within the stillness I behold I muse and wonder in the wold I live my love a hundred fold I embrace the stillness in my soul SOLO Now you’ve seen what I am seeing And you feel, what I feel No resistance, in the presence of our source CH REPEAT Oh walk down to the river side Wander through my dreams Oh walk down to the river side

Send me a Sign (free) 04:01
I am forever torn between living the dream And dreaming up my living I’m ready to let it go Breaking away was hard But tearing up my life is harder Oh oh oh oh I don’t know So tired of rules and regulations questions asked, you don’t like my answers Think I hate them too Uncertain of myself Wanting to reach my limit Oh oh oh oh what to do Oh the days seem harder, the nights get darker Help me find my feet and help me stand Send me a sign from somewhere darling Reach out, I’ll take your hand Show me the way and tell me where to land Sick of confusion, ready to love And that’s all I been thinking of Please send me a sign from above Im guessing that you’re worried About where I’m going Whens this gonna end I crave your knowledge and your wisdom… Can’t do it on my own, …. not gonna pretend Oh its fading faster, the loneliness seems longer Tell me where to place my hear

in this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong rest your head you worry too much it's going to be alright when times get rough you can fall back on us don't give up please don't give up 'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's a place there's a place where we belong

Heaven 04:42
Snow gum logs are burning on the fire A glass of wine to help pass the time Conversation floating on a Hotham mountain high Opens heart and mind Up here on the hill's the perfect setting For such a fine occasions tonight I'm gazing out at nothing but the colour of the light Questions start to form that may be answered CH: The sun is setting low Must be a little after seven Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven? Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven? The air up here is crystal clear and sweet The countryside, the hills are scotched and bare Mother Nature does her work Her cycles to to complete You can feel her everywhere I'm standing on a hilltop full of stars The biggest sky that you will ever see The Southern cross, the milky way And right there must be Mars I believe they're shining just for me CH: The sun is setting low Must be a little after seven Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven? Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven? He is just a journey man who's blessed A city boy who lives beyond his dreams Playing the guitar and singing songs upon request Though its not a simple as it seems To figure out where he fits in the scheme CH: I glance down at my watch and its a quarter past 11 Is this as close as I'm ever gonna be to heaven? This is about as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven

Fight 03:35
Too many memories running through my head Trying to carry on All these strangers tryina get in my bed guess im supposed to move on Saw a picture of u in a frame We were out of town Those days we used to feel the same But now Im left behind, but I don’t mind cos I will fight And I will wait And I won’t run Yeh I will fight And I will wait Don’t you run Too many scared mistakes I’ve made Wish I could sort it out Ooh regret is such a waste of time But still I have no doubt Ooh saw a picture of us in a frame You were throwing away Guess now I believe you That u felt the same, I’m filled with shame CH: x 2

I feel you using me between the sheets so passionately Tried to sneak away, don’t wanna stay That’s the game we play Seems I’m such a creep, Why ever believe you’d be loving me So get up and leave, nothing lies beneath Ain’t no you and me BR: Didn’t want no other You were my one lover To think we were ever something more Now I take some time out What were you going on about Who was all the crying really for? CH: ‘Cos finally I see This is how its gonna be So much dirt on the floor Finally I see This was never meant to be I’m ending this war And closing the door VERSE: Never started out this way What can I say Was a different day You were another man You held my hand…. BR: Then it turned cold & sour Cooler by the hour To think it was ever something more Never will you be mentioned Forever will I have questioned Who was all the fighting really for

Mel's Song 02:36
Don't know why you love me I know that you do I know you don't need me like I need you You pick me up when I'm feeling blue Don't know why you love me I know that you do Don't know why you're staying when I'm always gone I was so lost til you came along i'll play the chords and you sing the song Don't know why you're staying when I'm always gone Don't know why I love you I always will You're always pushing me upon the hill Sometimes it hurts but I love you still Don't why I love you I always will Don't why I love you I always will Don't why I love you I always will

Love finds its mark and then You just get hurt again Cause she won't love you anymore You're in the dark again My broken hearted friend Cause she won't love you anymore Only fools believe in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow Come down from the clouds open your eyes Love finds its mark and then You just get hurt again Cause she won't love you anymore Love finds its mark and then You just get hurt again Cause she won't love you anymore You're in the dark again My broken hearted friend Cause she won't love you anymore No she won't love you anymore She just won't love you anymore
