INTO WHITE
It can be the scents of candlelight
Or to look up at the clouds at night
All of these
Connect with ease
It can be the sounds of Steely Dan
Or the whiff of Kona Coffee grounds
Gathering every day
This collection of your way
Getting stronger as we turn the page
(Chorus)
Eternal Flower
Like a star that never fades
There's a power in your makeup
Every colour every shade
ANd you know you're like a diamond
With the sparkles burning bright
Reaching out into the timeline
Till it all turns in to white
It can be the smell of your perfume
Or the sound of purring cats in tune
Gathering every day
This collection of your way
Getting stronger as we turn the page

HOLD THE CAMERA
Thought I knew everything, now honey
Sure as a well told tale
Picturing all those days you know I
Thought I was on my way
Traveling through the rain and thunder
Weaving through all that hail
Paddling up that stream, i wonder
Why does it turn so pale?
Hold the camera
Hold it for me
I can't seem to focus
There's way too much to see
Time for a tyre stop, now honey
All of these roads have changed
So set up the shots with brand new angles
Everything's re arranged
(Chorus)
Hold the camera
Hold it for me
Looking but I still can't seem to see
Photos will take a frozen millisecond
But then they're gone
Don't push that finger down too early
The new moment's from beyond
Hold the camera
Hold it for me
You know i wanna see

SHOWBAG TATTOO
Too many times there's been the one
That's got away
And there's a way that you can tell
That it's today
She'll let you know she's been let down
A thousand times
And all the stories are the same
But different crimes
She wears her heart on her sleeve
Like a showbag tattoo
And when she cries, she denies
That she's worked it all through
She wears her heart on her sleeve
Like a showbag tattoo
Showbag tattoo
She wipes her eyes only to find
They're full of tears
The search goes on to find herself
She's nowhere near
Stuck around the board
Do not pass go
Time to find another piece
Another roll

ENJOY THE RIDE
Well you struggle and you huddle
And you hang on tooth and nail
God forbid if you get rid of
Anything that doesn't sail
There's a riddle in the middle of
The song that no-one sings
If there's an answer, there's a chance
That it really don't mean a thing
(Chorus)
At the end of the day
It don't matter too much anyway
Enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride
You're collecting and dissecting
As your world keeps spinning 'round
The more you get the more regret
As your peace just can't be found
Navigator of the greater
Things in life, you've got the wheel
It's no surprise that all the ties
Will keep you from that even keel
At the end of the day
It don't matter too much anyway
Enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

DREAM THE WALK
Nasty weather
Shakes a steady heart
Please, no more chill
Don't know whether
That's why we're apart
Our core is still
Focus till it's near
Tune in till it's clear
Gonna dream that walk
Dream that walk
Wanna dream that walk together
Cause the dream goes on forever
On and on
On the freeway
Heading towards home
Does speed erase the signs?
Too much leeway
Way too far to roam
Got to stay inside the lines

I SURRENDER
While wheels are turnin'
I'll just let them go 'round and 'round
Inside I'm burnin'
Desire makes a haunting sound
I surrender to the mother
I surrender to the sun
I surrender to another way
The track is laid out for the run
When leaves are fallin'
they nestle in a safety net
The bugs keep crawlin'
they know there's always room to let
It's random order
that keeps the mystery alive
The boundless borders
How much to make the planet thrive
I surrender to the mother
I surrender to the sun
I surrender to another way
The track is laid out for the run

STUCK FOR WORDS
Some are good, some are bad
Others are the best I've had
Scratch my eyes roll my head
Cryin' from frustration, 'cause nothings been said
Don't come close, but stay right here
I'll try and speak and make it clear
And say it like you've never heard
When it comes to you babe,
When it comes to you
When it comes to you babe, I'm
Stuck for words
You're a magnet, so don't turn back
If you face me I might just get the knack
Sweaty knees and shaky palms
I've never tried to stay so calm
Sittin' thinking on this unmade bed
Wondering whether or not you've fled
Trying to right this down's absurd
When it comes to you babe,
When it comes to you
When it comes to you babe, I'm
Stuck for words

EYE OF AN EAGLE
You smile at me, it's meant to be
An expression of something to share
But underneath, there are lies through your teeth
And at first I'm not really aware
Don't need to be tryin'
To see through disguises
If only we all could see
Through the eyes of an eagle
The stories you tell, are wrapped in a shell
And I laugh when you think I can't tell
You've tried every line, this time I ain't buyin'
And it's only the truth you can't sell
So don't forget, the stage that you've set
Will crumble as you come undone
Your soul is in debt, you'll swim in regret
When you're lost and there's no place to run
Don't need to be tryin'
To see through disguises
If only we all could see
Through the eyes of an eagle

KEEPER OF THE CHARMS
I've got a four leaf clover, I met an Irish man
I even had a rabbit's foot, when I was just a lad
A magic 8 ball, that's the shot, a Bali carving too
A pendant from Las Vegas, a goat turd from the zoo
Gregory Norman's autograph, an earring from an ex
A glowing skull from Disneyland, a statue that protects
A feather from a peacock, an uncut opal rock
Playing cards from every year, a handmade X-MAS sock
Here's a clue, you know it's true
They keep away the harm
Believe in me, believe in you
Keeper of the charms
A pick from Eric Clapton, a slide made by a friend
Will these things I I keep with me make my luck ascend
Some driftwood from the coast, Grandma's mobile piece
A recent painted boomerang, a tour shirt from Police
A US silver dollar, what do these things hold
A pine cone from Yosemite, some dice yet to be rolled
The first letter from my niece, things from every year
Hoping that each one of these, brings the magic here
Here's a clue, you know it's true
They keep away the harm
Believe in me, believe in you
Keeper of the charms
