Out on the morning on rough shores
Still the Skipper plots a course
And heads across the bay
And out on to the straits
‘Cause he is a Skipper
Ever close to the water
With horizons as his only guide
Storms beat the coastline
But he’s known them his whole life
He’ll have boots still tied on when he dies
A lonesome figure wakes
A silhouette as morning breaks
Behind, only the past
His life slung on a strap
‘Cause he is a Traveller
On that road bound for somewhere
With horizons as his only guide
Weathered but never worn out
Seasons come around
And boots still tied on when he dies
‘Cause the Skipper and The Traveller
Will work and walk ’till they die
‘cause it’s all they have
Yes The Skipper and The Traveller
Will work and walk ‘till they die
‘Cause it’s all they have.

My Babe

My babe, I’ve been watching you
Just being yourself and I’m falling in love
My darling, I’ve been trying
To get you by yourself, just to tell you how I feel
My heart is racing now, with longing
This feeling’s strong, I know you feel it too
The touch of your skin
Sends me under
Sends me under
My Babe I am looking in your eyes
The rooms drowned in silver moonlight now
Just hold me close darling
Don’t let go
I’m yours now and yours forever more
Forever more
A whispered name is calling out with longing
This feelings strong I know you feel it too
The touch of your skin now
I am falling under
I am falling under
The touch of your skin now

Railroad

Railroad rolling, through the mountains
Takes my mind back home
Through the forest, sunlights gorgeous
Coming through the pines
For this city is sprawling, the streets are rotten
The broken glass and the daily grind
How the thing I had wanted
I had gotten all along
A memory although faded
Carries me on
Old railroad go and take me home
I’m up with daylight
I don’t get home ‘till it’s night
I’m tired of working all the time
For as a boy I’d greet the sunrise
And now how it sets as a fleeting smile
For all that time spent waiting
For my train out to arrive
Alas I’ve reached my destination
Now this forgotten soul
Old railroad go and take me home.
Midnight rising on the horizon
Headed down railroad track
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been wanting to make my long way back
Five days leave I have been granted
For the six months I have worked
Headed back towards my childhood home
I thought I’d lost but that old railroad track
Go and take me back
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But most of all I miss my homeland.

Tears of Sorrow
05:23
|

God above in heaven
Shelter from the storm
Spirit guiding
Burn bright once more
For I am tired and weary
Dear friend
I am I need
Waiting patiently
Lord bring me peace
Take my down to the water
When all is said and done
With all that’s come and gone
In this life,
Cry greyest Tears of Sorrow
Find colour in tomorrow
I am not the reason
Though pain may say I am
Memories tell me out love was strong
For a heart in need of healing
Is signal to the soul
Now it’s calling once more
To return home
Take me down to the water
When all is said and done
With all thats come and gone
In this life
Cry greyest tears of Sorrow
Take me down to the water
When all is said and done
With all thats come and gone
In this life
Cry greyest tears of Sorrow
Find colour in tomorrow

Lullaby

Baby lay down easy baby
Your precious heart is beating baby
Mother and father watch you sleeping
That dusk is slowly closing in baby
The birds are gently cooing baby
And I am far away but know
My heart beats tirelessly for you
My heart beats for you
Baby rest easy on that peaceful evening
And dream of all the colours
Bright eyes have seen
Stars to watch over you awaken
As the night sky is passing on by
Sleep tight
