Daylight

Track 1 off of the EP Marina Marina and I released in 2013, "'You first', 'no, you'".  Marina wrote the lyrics and rhythm guitar, I provided backing vocals and guitar.

Up on Berry Mountainside 
Winding roads meet southern skies 
And wandering, birds of prey in the night 
We hide until the time is right 

Ladada... 

Up on Berry Mountainside 
Rivers shimmer with delight 
And the grass grows, taller than my thighs 
I sure miss those, 
Balmy Aussie Nights 

Ladada..

Berry Mountain

Track 2 of the EP Marina Marina and I released in 2013.  "'You first', 'no, you'".  I wrote the lyrics and guitar, Marina providing backing vocals and banjo.  Produced by Marina Marina.

Poor searcher, where'd you go? 
To a comfort we all know? 
Passed out and hearing sounds 
About the Moon, howling friends and cold ground? 

And poor searcher, why do you hide? 
Just run a mile downtown and I'll smile. 
And I'll greet you, I'll meet you. 
Stay a while, yeah, we need you. 

Frozen nights and fireflies 
Are just a haunt of what I despise. 
But in a dream I heard the call 
So I ran on home, so I pinched my skin. 

I kept on waking up at six o'clock 
Just doin' what I do. 
I pay my bills to buy my shoes to buy my home 
And never feel the cold. 

Passed out upon the floor 
In the warmth is what we're for. 
Them roamin', fire-tendin' kids will learn. 
They'll sleep tonight under sky 
Oh, so bright (but cold, I spy...). 
But from a living room I hear them, too, 
Gone howling at the Moon.

Frozen Nights And Fireflies

Track 4 off of Canyon Creeping EP.  Released December 2014.

i ran down to the creek last night hoping not to find the sidewalk skip the crosswalk blind. and i looked into its mirror with moss gripped tight around my hands and there it told a tale that i heard before not twice but more it’s not stale. about the cold about not reaching home about the storm sinking into your bones let the fire burn on and burn long they’ll join us if they want. down and out i saw it spark run and hide i caught you by my side walking stepping blind there I saw its flame to the woods i say

Reaching Home Pt 2

Track 2 off of Canyon Creeping EP.  Released December 2014.

voices so far away today came down from the canyon and came out straight away no room to roam farther no roaming room charged by the downpour the uproar the storm. came up with the storm surge and up came our old words once heard once disturbed (o how learned...) of young men gone wandered removing old floorboards I found you creeping the canyon. arrest me now for i’ve wandered too long for i’ve forged forest floors for i’m gone. feet fall to footings formed quite the same ways though the set like the sun and the moon. crawled out on knees forest begging you please for i heard you i knew from the start i heard all your whispers not holding back hymns or a story to which we are apart. arrest me now for i’ve wandered too long for i’ve forged forest floors for i’m gone. feet fall to footings formed quiet the same ways though they set like the sun MOVE ON THROUGH.

Canyon Creeping Pt 2

Track 3 off of Ghost Trees.  Released February 2016.

we walked up today we walked all day and rested here tonight. and heard songs upon the hills and dreamt onward and dreamt on through the night. through dreamwork fire sky inside light i reckon we'll be fine. harness and hold light bring us sight. walking starlight. harness and hold light bring us sight. bring us through you. and of my past and of your past and oh shared past and what we hold onto. and of stories to let go of, of a walk renewed. asleep amongst the moon, we'll carry the bright walking starlight and bring it down to you.
