New Big Heart 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Well I’m willing to show you something – A new big heart Something that I thought I’d lost I’m struggling to recognise myself – A new big start Couldn’t care about the cost I’ve been living the song lyrics, I’m dying to see you In the summer time and the frost With the thrill of the chase in my eyes A love that comes as no great surprise I’ll open up my mind and show you My love is polished shiny and new It’s time to wipe away the tears That I caused throughout these years Well I’m sorry that I hit you – A new big start? The animal inside was mean Jealousy and drink were everything – A new big heart? Now I’m back to show you I’m keen I’ve been so cruel and confused You were just so easy to abuse I’m back and willing to make a mends Sure that you don’t want this to end I’ll open up my chest and show you My heart is polished shiny and new It’s time to wipe away the tears That I caused throughout these years

Turning Circle 04:23
lyrics

Wait to see the feelings, from behind the door Wait to hear the feelings, on the other end of the call Waiting for the colours, in the winter grey Telling one another , the sun will soon find its way There could never be another voice to save the day from shadow Holding onto one another Close against the icy window Close the holes with dreams and stitches As we’ve done before The past is like an ever present Gift upon the bedroom wall I’m surprised that I discover Behind the curtain fall Another version of my lover I didn’t know before Written like a poem in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes There could never be another Voice to save the day from shadow Holding onto one another Close against the icy window

White Wash Years 04:22
lyrics
buy track
The arrows of words that state their case Are blocked by the walls, behind his face Nothing to here The motion of life goes on its way Leaving a space for yesterday Nothing to see Stories to tell are left on his walls Strangers to share, locked behind closed doors The morning he sees creeping through glass Calling the white wash years Pales his skin, narrows his eyes, watching the passers by A window of light cuts through the grey A fragment of life, passing away Truth will be known A colourful wreath, left on the shrine Memories grief, falling behind Just names on a stone Lovers and fights are left with past selves Trials and words left on the book shelves Day becomes noon, dusk becomes night, recalling the darkest hours Sanctuary sleep, memory veil, hours that feel like days Spinning around, a room filled with noise, blinded by the sun A spiritual guide, a family divorce, paper work on his knees

Kaleidoscope 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Pink and human, as much a part of me As the first touch, shrouded in memory Sleep eludes us, shy of intrusion Your lips are moving, in time with my breathing I live inside of your smile, Spreads across the room Falling from today, moonlight opulent grey Safe inside the cocoon, a screen of lines across sheets Forms a nest in my heart, in the nocturnal part A screen of lines to begin Then I discover, a piece of you A discarded poem, where the butterfly once flew A past emotion, kaleidoscope of you I live inside of your frown, the sun behind the cloud Stars are lost to the night, but you can take me away Please just take me away, come on take me away I pass from smog to the green, pass from cloud to the blue Always returning to you

Not So Clever Tonight 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Time is passing slowly tonight Like a lazy bull in the heather Hands are taking turns to shade the light Feeling like I’m under the weather tonight Not so clever tonight Soldiers on the line trying to sleep Hanging on to photos and letters Thinking of the time life was sweet Makes them feel a little more human tonight Human tonight Feeling kind of strange, feeling like I’m light as a feather Acting half my age, coming to the end of my teather Big decisions, close encounters – not so clever tonight Not so clever tonight The actor in you cast a bronze farewell Sending up the stage with his presence I dreamt about the role he was meant to play The artist never asks for a second chance A second chance Dressed in costume, sad clown face on, like a statue Lights are shining, a deer in headlights, feeling lonesome Second chances, big decisions – not so clever tonight Not so clever tonight

Smoke and Mirrors 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Smoke and Mirrors, painted tears Witching hour At the local bird and bee She’s a faded flower That the people come to see Feather bower, across shoulders Crooning softly Underneath her gauche disguise Hint of sadness From behind her panda eyes No reflection, in her compact Like an old time movie Has lost its silver star In this dark and dreary Lonesome inner city bar

Reverie 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Once upon a time in the country side I was looking for the perfect place to hide Acting like a ghost, no one wants to see Attention comes to those who go looking for Someone in this world that they can adore Then you realise you don’t want to be alone Come with me lady We could make a life with these few words Write a story in good time Come with me baby We could make a start with these few coins Make a family of our own Now all the little toys that are on the floor And the latest pictures hanging on the wall Make me feel that I am doing something right All the funny things that they say to me Children’s voices breaking through the reverie Makes me feel that I am useful after all Come with me lady We could make a life with these few words Write a story in good time Come with me baby We could make a start with these few coins Make a family of our own

Caffeine and Chocolate 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Quietly watching the gentle procession Each tear that falls from the sky Following circles, of colours and oil Waiting as time passes by Oh oh oh quietly wiping a tear from your eyes Oh oh oh quietly wiping a tear from your eyes All of the sleepers are dreaming of parties Wrapped in their blanket cocoons Wide eyes and jack knives are common place heroes All in the gaze of the moon Oh oh oh quietly sifting the gold from the sand Oh oh oh quietly sifting the gold from the sand Night owls and vampires flashing white pearlies Wresting on old father time Creatures of habit take caffeine and chocolate Lost in the city of crime Oh oh oh quietly pulling you close to my side Oh oh oh quietly pulling you close to my side

Stage Prop 03:49
lyrics
buy track
From behind the curtains He watches from the wings Her familiar silhouette Sparkling while she sings On the stage she comes alive He can see the girl he loves Her life played like a dress rehearsal Remembered lines and lusts - lines and lusts Outside she turns it on The act they’ve paid to see He tries to tell her ‘But baby, it’s just me’ If all the world’s a stage And you’re just playing a part Can you tell me when it was You made a prop out of my heart? On stage she comes alive He can see the girl he loved Her life played like a dress rehearsal Remembered lines and lusts – lines and lusts

Sunshine Maker 05:22
lyrics
buy track
Watching the sun, cut through the trees Something’s begun, in the leaves of the morning Open your eyes, still in the sheets A little surprise, in the way I watch you resting The summer light shines through a glass of white wine Dancing across the white walls of my mind This is the way I know the days begun Feeling the warmth of the rising sun This silent design makes me wonder This is the time I feel most alive With my sunshine maker by my side Holding your hand, in this warm place The delicate sound, of the last dream in your breathing I close my eyes and I see the shape of fire Taking the form of my deepest desire This is the time I know that I belong Singing my sunshine maker song This secret desire, takes my breath away This is the way I know the days begun Feeling the warmth of the rising sun This silent design makes me wonder I still believe in the light of the day

about

Some songs show an increasing interest in finger picking techniques and detuned strings which gave me a new lease of life and opened up a world of new chords and sounds. I was again focused on sitting down with a guitar to construct songs rather than building up a composition with recorded layers.

Euie b Graham Canberra, Australia

Ending formal lessons on violin, I began writing songs in 1992, graduating to a four-track cassette recorder shortly after, and the addictive journey of composing then recording was entrenched. I continue, assimilating influences and forging my own way. I shy away from performing, I write, record then move on. I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
