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 05:47
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 05:24
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.

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 03:55
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
