I know a place where the sun shines like a diamond It glistens across the horizon Like the way your eyes reach into mine Chasing the light I just wanna go there with your heart of gold We can take the back streets, tell me where to go We can turn the radio on to play your song Play it all night long Play it all night long La da da da da da da da da da I know a place where the birds fly on the breeze just for fun Lean into me as the sun goes down Oh and I take your hand and spin you around Whisper this all we need I just wanna go there with your heart of gold We can take the back streets, tell me where to go We can turn the radio on to play your song Play it all night long Play it all night long La da da da da da da da da da With you I feel like a child again Like when the rain came down in the summertime Bare feet on warm pavement And all the hope in my heart I just wanna go there with your heart of gold We can take the back streets, tell me where to go We can turn the radio on to play your song Play it all night long Play it all night long La da da da da da da da da da

Whirlwind 03:33
Fists down on the table I was unable to understand But I was just a kid I’d take things that were broken Smash ‘em together into something Cut your hand, let it bleed Now the grass has grown knee high But I’m wading through a waist-deep mess Found something buried here When my only love laid to rest Tell me, are you with me now? Lord, are you with me? Tell me, are you with me now? Lord, are you with me? Change, I heard it was coming For the drink, for the drugs, for the violence Honey look away Shake loose all the dead weight Feel like I’m standing in an earthquake In the dead of night I reap the whirlwind Now the grass has grown knee high But I’m wading through a waist-deep mess Found something buried here When my only love laid to rest Tell me, are you with me now? Lord, are you with me? Tell me, are you with me now? Lord, are you with me? In the dead of night I reap the whirlwind In the dead of night I reap the whirlwind In the dead of night I reap the whirlwind Lord, are you with me in the dying hours?

No Trace 04:24
Smoke is rising Shadows are flickering Full moon is high And heaven is closing It’s still warm in the ashes But I ain't got a spark to start again It’s still warm in the ashes Don’t go hanging on to good times Oh my sweetheart It’s too late to try Don’t go hanging on the good times Oh my sweetheart You’ve gotta let the flame die I’ll bury the matches Ain't no second chances Let it rain ‘til there ain’t no trace There ain’t no trace Don’t go hanging on to good times It’s too late to cry Don’t go hanging on the good times Oh my sweetheart You’ve gotta let the flame die Smoke is rising Shadows are flickering Full moon is high And heaven is closing

Carry On 04:24
There are no stars In a world without you And I get no sleep Though weary all the time Pick a rose Carry it with me As the road unwinds To die in my hand Seems I was wrong Life just carries on Now that you're gone We carry on What I'd give To walk beside you Down that path Your hand held in mine O my love I shall carry you with me Find you in song Forever 'til the end Seems I was wrong Life just carries on Now that you're gone We carry on Lord, let me dream about you now Lord, let me dream about you Seems I was wrong Life carries on Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Carry on

Prairie Song 03:12
Lovin’ you is like holdin’ back wild horses Tryin’ to reach a rose in a blackberry vine I recall the time I dove in the river Current so swift, I nearly drifted away Ooo, I’m reachin’ on your hand to hold Ooo, waitin’ on the fire to warm Ooo, the trail is long And we are born in hard times Thank you for the ring You forged in the mountains I will go again if I must, if I must Diamonds are dreams And nobody knows the reason It’s just some old thing That keeps travellin’ on Ooo, I’m reachin’ on your hand to hold Ooo, waitin’ on the fire to warm Ooo, the trail is long And we are born in hard times And they’ll call us pioneers And we’ll sing our prairie song But we won’t recall We were here at all So kick off your boots Lean upon the doorframe Ragged and rough Hardened by God Sit on the porch Lean upon the doorframe Look at the same moon First and the last the light will ever become Ooo, I’m reachin’ on your hand to hold Ooo, waitin’ on the fire to warm Ooo, the trail is long And we are born in hard times

Black Sand 04:40
I remember your form Remember like it’s yesterday I was just a child I remember ways I remember you and me Remember this land Remember it shaping me I remember love Though I lost you in the waves I remember you and me I’m running on the black sand I’m running on the black sand I’m running, I’m running I wanna come back to you I wanna come back to you I wanna come back to you I’m on the black sand I’ll meet you at the waves I remember you I’m never too far In this place especially I reach out for you I’m touching your skin I remember you and me Remember this land Remember it shaping me I remember love I’m watching from the waves I remember you and me I’m running on the black sand I’m running on the black sand I’m running, I’m running I wanna come back to you I wanna come back to you I wanna come back to you I’m on the black sand I’ll meet you at the waves I remember you I remember you

There's a black-blue front stole the west horizon Under ocean song, hear the tolling bell On the seventh wave rides my aspirations They will break for sure, all my dreams to tell And it dawned on me It dawned on me It just dawned on me This must be what your heart reveals Blood-red bloom pōhutukawa The black dunes hiss with the grasses' breath I'll gather my driftwood and light a beacon It's for you I cry, it's for you I burn It dawned on me It just dawned on me It dawned on me This must be what your heart reveals Oh and hey It just dawned on me for the first time This must be what your heart reveals It dawned on me It dawned on me It just dawned on me This must be what your heart reveals

Back through the door again Dead flowers on the window sill Sailors to sirens Spoiled like stale wine Set in a picture frame Waves crashing Frozen in a moment Gasping for air You say there’s nothing left Nothing down at this depth We are porcelain Cracked and bound by gold again Drowning inside us What there once was You say there’s nothing left Nothing down at this depth Take in the longest breath Hold it tight, let it burn your chest Lately we’re sinking anyway From all the years we gave away Blue skies are fading Blue eyes are crying The tide is rising You say there’s nothing left Nothing down at this depth

Here I'll Be 05:09
Upon a southern crest of rock and tussock Where the fern reveals our silver vein I will light a wick of flame eternal In a sudden storm no harm will come Ooo, I am free Ooo, here i’ll be Where the river wails over sacred stone And the mountains call us back to dust I will carve a sound of love immortal Though it may be dark, I bear no pain Ooo, I am free Ooo, here i’ll be Kua maumāhara ki a koe
