Let your mercy down Sometimes I don’t know what is getting in the way Of my own head, when I’ve lost the will When I can’t look up, cause my mind is stuck Oh please look down, from heaven's crown And anytime you fancy let your mercy down Yeah and anytime you fancy let your mercy down on this little old me And I’ve watched the clock, as the seconds turn I’m out of luck, my courage weak And I need you more, than I ever have Can you part the clouds, or maybe shout out loud? And anytime you fancy let your mercy down Yeah and anytime you fancy let your mercy down on this little old me I’m an open book, and an ashen coal Will my pages turn? Or be locked up tight And you’re in my head, and you’re in my words Can you fill me up, when I get stuck? And anytime you fancy let your mercy down Yeah and anytime you fancy let your mercy down on this little old me

Heaven's eyes The ones we love we have to put aside sometimes Nothing gets done when I’m stuck on rules in my head So I’m going up where the sun it will shine again To follow the birds and the tracks of your curiousness Looking up to heavens eyes when I can’t sleep one wink Memories will light the way and time will fade into grace into grace oh oh oh oh I can feel you breathing but there is no body there none but my own, and my thoughts and the bed that we share So I’m going down where the shimmery water turns To empty out my mind to make room to let the good things in Looking up to heavens eyes when I can’t sleep one wink Memories will light the way and time will fade into grace into grace oh oh oh oh

Everything has a season Going back to where we once belonged, do you still believe Are the friendships ever strong, do you still believe that Everything has a season all the twists and the turns have a reason do you believe? Going back to where I followed heart, is the courage there? Can I go to the deepest part, is the courage still there? Everything has a season all the twists and the turns have a reason is the courage still there? Standing up where I am right now, can I find the joy In the passing of the day, can I find the joy? Everything has a season all the twists and the turns have a reason can I find the joy?

History 03:46
History We made a break to the simple life a move back home from our time away We thought that we could settle down, bought a couple acres out east of town With no more looking back at when we were young and free These old memories will always be….part of our history Now here we are in this small town the perfect place to raise a family We thought that we could live life here get a steady job, fix up the house With no more looking back at when we were young and free These old memories will always be….part of our history Look at us now, see all that we’ve done, where we’ve been and who we’ve become We thought that we could live this dream, it’s never as simple as it seems So take my hand, we’ve made this plan. Take my hand With no more looking back at when we were young and free These old memories will always be….part of our history

California Bound The west coast, roots of who I am Oregon guitar in my hand You always play the right notes with me You always play the right chords with me Now I’m Kansas or Indiana, I’m the wind and I’m the rain And you’re the sun coming down And your California bound Dry heat wave we’re lying in the park My life line, playing music in the dark You always knew the right words with me You always sang the right notes with me Now I’m Kansas or Indiana, I’m the wind and I’m the rain And you’re the sun coming down And your California bound Close friendship, distance separates You’ll send me new songs from out of state I always knew the right words with you I always sang the right notes with you Now I’m Kansas or Indiana, I’m the wind and I’m the rain And you’re the sun coming down And your California bound

Till the feeling’s right We packed up and moved away. Long days, far away We left a big part of our hearts, we dropped it all to start again And we’ll take our time, till the feeling’s right Till the head and the heart have battle this all out again Till we see a way that makes sense to go through Till the feelings right Family was the strongest pull. We made our own, we made a home We get caught up inside our lives and feel stuck down, in this town. And we’ll take our time, till the feeling’s right Till the head and the heart have battle this all out again Till we see a way that makes sense to go through Till the feelings right Music sowed a seed inside, I’ve been shut down, I’ve tried to hide. Songs they call from deep to deep. It shakes my core, but it sets me free And we’ll take our time, till the feeling’s right Till the head and the heart have battle this all out again Till we see a way that makes sense to go through Till the feelings right

Morning Dove 03:00
Morning Dove I am the wind that blows you and I am the one that knows you Like nobody else, like nobody else I hope you’ll know a love so true like how choked up I get over loving you Like nobody else, like nobody else Higher than the clouds above A gentle breeze, a swift morning dove Always know, my love You are the rain that cools me, and you are the one who changes me Like nobody else, like nobody else I hope you’ll feel a love so true, where you want to be a better you For nobody else, for nobody else Higher than the clouds above A gentle breeze, a swift morning dove Always know, my love I am the ground you stand on, one friend you can depend on Like nobody else, like nobody else You are the light that guides me, when there’s no one left beside me Like nobody else, like nobody else Higher than the clouds above A gentle breeze, a swift morning dove Always know, my love

Get me a ticket Sitting on the back step trying to take a deep breath, staring at the pale moonlight Praying for a breakthrough when you going to come through hoping it will be alright I really need a friend like you tonight all my dream seem so out of sight Take me, get me a ticket to anywhere Send for me, show me that you really care Gotta put the washing on and get the dinner done and put the kids to bed And try to get a little sleep before I get woken up it’s really doing in my head I really need a friend like you tonight all my dreams seem so out of sight Take me, get me a ticket to anywhere Send for me, show me that you really care Day in, day out feels like I’m doing time. I know it looks like I”m coping fine I could really use a friend to talk it through, to be the voice of reason tonight I’m at the bottom now, never been this low before. I’m at the bottom now, can’t take it anymore Take me, get me a ticket to anywhere Send for me, show me that you really care

Till first I held your hand Who would I be without you here if I’m honest? The stars wouldn’t shine and the ocean no more if truth be told There’s not a pain that I wouldn’t face to know your soft gentle breathing I never knew a love like this till first I held your hand, in mine Where would I go without you here if I’m thinking straight The sun would hide away and the plants would not grow in a world without When I hold you close to me there is no world without There’s not a pain that I wouldn’t face to know your soft gentle breathing I never knew a love like this till first I held your hand, in mine

Shadowlands 04:16
Shadowlands I know a winter, it’s frozen me still. I know a darkness casts shadows around I see a blackbird, out on the lawn. I hear it’s song when it comes on the dawn Day it passes over, and a thousand dreams lay in shadowlands Till I step out into the light I know a springtime, it’s opening me. I know a lightness where hope abounds I see the flowers, bursting to life. I walk the orchard and take in the sights Day it passes over, and a thousand dreams lay in shadowlands Till I step out into the light I know a summer, it’s filling me up. I know the buzz the hum and the rush I pick the harvest, that comes as a gift. I taste the goodness unto my lips Day it passes over, and a thousand dreams lay in shadowlands Till I step out into the light I know an autumn, it’s slowing me down. I know a time to put both feet on the ground I hear the wisdom, of others before. When my time comes, I’ll cross over life’s door. Day it passes over, and a thousand dreams lay in shadowlands Till I step out into the light

Hold on Tight I’m riding on a horse with no saddle I make my path and feel the road turn, we make our way the rhythm to learn Hold on tight it’s gonna be a fast fast ride Take the moment in, cause all we have is right here now Big hill, the pace getting slower When we go down gravity pulls us it’s now we hit the perfect stride Hold on tight it’s gonna be a fast fast ride Take the moment in, cause all we have is right here now Let’s go, to a path we’ve not taken I see the world as a child would, and know the lightness of my beating heart Hold on tight it’s gonna be a fast fast ride Take the moment in, cause all we have is right here now All we need is right here now

about

This album was created over two long weekend sessions taking up every space at Anzac Rd Studio. Some tracks were created with all of us in the same room live to 2 track tape. Others were created with separation in different rooms, vocals and guitar in the kitchen, drums + bass, electric guitar and rhodes in the lounge (with amps in different rooms)!
