Cats are fighting in the grass the sun is drawing closer,
willow trees are all on heat put out my skin to pasture
Naked restless in the sheets there's all to do but slumber
shooting stars give up the fight to wrestle with the summer
Bone dry,
all night
roll side, to side
Steam rise,
pink sky
from tide to tide
The summer haunts my
Every year is thickening
and morning stains the windows
all the lovers brace for the one who tapers at the shadows
I the child who lives outside, Would break a thousand waters
simple madness in the sound of emerald green cicadas
Father is the moon it seems, her mosaic lies to no-one
storms are tangled in the trees,
without the earth to faun on
Bone dry,
all night,
roll side to side
Steam rise,
pink sky
from tide to tide
to tide
to tide
The summer haunts my
The summer haunts my
The summer haunts my
Eh eh eh eh .......

In the waves you tumbled,
let yourself be simple
no one had the guts to say
simple children fade away
How she grows your mother tree,
pretty short term memory
you don't know the difference, between the gate, between the fence
Heart burn, don't know how to sleep till the sheep mosey back into the sea
mamma has a little trick and the kids shudder when she counts to three
Carousel
I dream more every night
don't turn off the light
of an Aeroplane
unable to land
she's a snake underneath the sand
underneath the, underneath the sand
Chippies on your shoulder
mother's getting older
she strides homebound like a dog
athen's doors have changed the locks
little macadamia, morning sun eats up the yard
now i'm home i'm safe and warm,
boiling melting in the dawn
you don't know the difference between the gate, between the fence...
Heart burn, don't know how to sleep till the sheep mosey back into the sea
mamma has a little trick and the kids shudder when she counts to three
Carousel
I dream more every night
don't turn off the light
of an Aeroplane
unable to land
she's a snake underneath the sand
underneath the, underneath the sand

see how it takes you

Hey, November firstly
you are wearing me down
i've noticed more than ever today,
the swelter in this house
If we were a tree, you couldn't scale us
branches just out of reach
and how the silence breeds in such a climate
no good in screen time
it only musters a fight
I don't need answers
just softness
regardless of our pride
Just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
Love i find it easy,
it finds me estranged
the letters keep the fever down
they hone and map this change
the weather to blame
in trust too restless, skin tight against from the grain
my room so still with all that I've remembered
your skin films over
alone at your desk
my city swelters
for reasons your evenings freeze at best
Just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
Just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
aint no need to pretend just be tender
shadow finder in the corner...

My wheels, my wheels
pass over the bitumen
and i chase after boys
who don't ask me any questions
I've stayed too long
misread all of the road signs
I make that which surrounds me
much more than what I realise
My heart my heart
holding tight to anything
whatever lies ahead is god
because it isn't dying
i'll chase this touch
however it presents dear
it brings me back to everyone
it keep the cycle spinning...
but I don't believe, but I don't believe, but I don't believe, but I don't believe, but I don't believe, but I don't believe
