Line in the sand

I wonder if your miss it sometimes
I hate the idea
nevermind
I remember you lovingly
Do you remember me
Days of uncertainty
You can't stay to long
Where you don't belong
There's nothing unsaid
There's nothing undone
What will be the tune
When it's my turn
It's not the same without you here
I think of you each time I go to the harbour
It was rough we could not sail
Frosty mornings and mist on the lower hills
You wanted a garden full of trees
Show him the places we've been
If we could see forever
If we could see around the corner
Many of are old friends have gone
Torn away and fallen to the ground
Love makes a house a home
I can't get along without you

Quartermaster

Meet me in the coastal mountains
If you get there before me make a fire and a shelter and a bed for our heads
I will make it somehow someway
And the quartermasters dream will come true someday
The waves lash at the eagles nest and the storm birds drift and protest
The waves lash at the eagles nest and the storm birds drift and protest
I don't have much, I don't need much, I don't care
I can help you, you can help me thats fair
were have high hopes strong coats and long ropes yeah
what more what more do we need
from our fathers deeds
The waves lash at the eagles nest and the storm birds drift and protest
The waves lash at the eagles nest and the storm birds drift and protest
So these our coastal mountains
Pines all the way down to the sea
like a picture or a painting in a long forgotten dream
These are a coastal mountain scenes
The waves lash at the eagles nest and the storm birds drift and protest
The waves lash at the eagles nest and the storm birds drift and protest
You never found me at the coastal mountains maybe i never told you where i would be.

Get against the wind

Remember the good times
You have got to
I used to make up a story
He was on a secret mission
Like a film with Tom Cruise
He shows up at his parents house
After he'd gone
But I knew it wasn't true
I knew it wasn't true
See the plane come in
It's your brother
Fighting was never in my nature
But I kept on doing it to let out my anger
I always had to push it to the limit
I go out on the water
We're stuck in this place
People's lives they move on
The phone call never came
But there's a knock at the door
If you felt a love like that
Then you must believe that there's enough love for a lifetime
I look out at the horizon
That is what we're living on
Full of life and direction after your gone
It's hard to put your finger
You get behind
Your luck it starts turning like the tide
You get against the wind
I've got a cross made of shells with nothing to bury
Always stay close and run to safety
I feel closer today
That's the way I want to stay
Live the life he would have lived
Hold on to happy photographs
The smell of her perfume
Light up the room

Late grey
02:41
|

|
Maybe because it was a late grey afternoon
Maybe because I looked out at the stars last night and I felt the absence
of a willing partner who knows the steps and bit by bit you let go of anything that you can predict
Because you can't
Kiss each other and dance close together
Her words are spoken by an actor
This is the place you were always meant to find on the edge of a cliff under the night sky
They don't know how to spend the evening
I can tell you enjoyed it as much as I did
She's got a soul and she takes good care to hide it
I won't tell anybody if you don't want me to

Flesh

All this flesh what have we done
The world has crashed into the sun
Just by chance we broke a branch
Climbed out to far to take a glance
Train wreck that is all
Welcome back one and all
Aching feet legs so tall
Time to sleep, sleep it off
How old are you its hard to tell
Skin and bones on that shell
It's all the same, it's all the same
Drag the lake, drag the lake
Safety net is a safety net
Catch my breath, catch my breath
It's not mine, it's not yours
Tiny lives and metaphors
All this flesh what have we done
The world has crashed into the sun
just by chance we broke a branch
Climbed out to far to take a glance

Remains
05:11
|

|
It's so cold my very soul is freezing
It's death to venture out in the evening
You've been writing of your thoughts, your feelings
The ones you love they move on
The sorrow of them leaving
Roof and walls provide protection
Stay somewhere safer like a concrete basement
If the signal uses a wavering tone
It was not unexpected so don't try and run
I'm looking out at the skyline
A high definition view of a wind turbine
It's making it all seem more real
The farmers are lying face down in their fields
The memories of my mother they are the sharpest
We all need that security blanket
When your miles under the surface
Speak even if your voice shakes
This unnatural silence
Brings me comfort
Hangs around my shoulders
Creeps up and all over

WIVES OF FARMERS
We are Wives of Farmers (WOF). A band of four or five; Matt Adkins,Jamie Boyd, Jeff Bradley, Kees Toft, and an important
guest musician, Helen Weeks
WOF have existed for over ten years in multiple incarnations and with several name changes. Our only real desire right from often chaotic beginnings was to just play and play until something good surfaced – It’s still the only way we know.
