COLOURS-Dee trewartha
‘coz I’m
Blue as the bluest sky
Green as the green of your eyes
Redder than the reddest rose
Sun shines in through the window and the room overflows
Can you wake up with me it’s a brand new day?
Can you wake up with me we’re not going to work today?
I dreamed about a yellow ribbon tied around the old gum tree
Seems to be a little sign of the times that says that you’re still here with me
I know I missed your party, and I know I didn’t come to see you play,
I know I didn’t make it to your house to meet some extra groovy friends that day,
& I know it may seem strange to you but I chose to walk the dog instead,
But it’s a quality, an excellence of life that brings a little bit of clarity to my head!
Blue as the bluest sky
green as the green of my lovers eyes
Redder than the reddest rose
Sun shines in through the window and the room overflows
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,
So it rains so it shines & the words pass on from me to you,
Me to you.

Lazy River –Dee trewartha
Won’t you come into my kitchen won’t you
Come on inside.
‘Cause lifes too long to dream away and
it’s too short to let slip by.
Won’t you come along with me and we’ll take a little ride
Down the lazy river that’s deep and cool and wide
Won’t you build me a boat won’t you carry me away
Down the lazy brown river on a lazy blue day?
When the sky seems so blue like it’s not that far away
Down the lazy river on a lazy day.
The air smells like sunshine, the roses all in bloom.
The warm breeze washes over me like honey sweet perfume, and the sky seems so blue like I could float me away with the lilies and the wildflowers and the sweet smell of the hay.
Won’t you…..
The taste of wild cherries and the humming of the bees.
The sound of the river’s just as pretty as you please
And the water’s so blue it can wash your tears away
Down the lazy brown river on a lazy blue day
Won’t you….

Scarlet Ribbons

A lady was walking all on a summer’s day
She came to a meadow so brilliant & green,
So brilliant green.
Along came a-riding a young man so handsome.
On a white horse he was riding with scarlet ribbons.
Said the young man to the lady “Where are you going to?”
When the sun shines so brightly on this meadow green,
All on the meadow green.
Said the lady to the young man “On this fine morning,
I will gather yellow flowers to make a crown for my hair,
To make a crown for my hair.”
“Come with me , to the sea, that sparkles like a jewel.
We will dive beneath the water so blue & cool-
So blue & cool.
Me with my yellow flowers, you & your scarlet ribbons.”
Beneath the water so cool…

If diamonds were forever and they were all I need to please me,
To stimulate and tease me then you would be a girls best friend.
If the world were not enough it would be such a perfect place to start my love and you would be a girls best friend
Chorus
But you know tomorrow never dies unless we
Choose to die another day but I am for your eyes only
But tomorrow never dies unless we
Choose to die another day but I am for your eyes only
We’ll soar across the sky to find the man with the golden eye and we can live and let die and you will be my best friend
But you only live twice and your second time is not as nice and that’s why you’ll never be a girl’s best friend
And she plays the game for your heart but you never take the fall
With your view to a kill you know the winner takes it all
And she’ll play you for your heart with a view to a kill
She could live and let die but she knows you never will

This is a rainy land
this is a rainy land
no thunder in our sky
no trees stretching high
but this is a rainy land
My name is Yami Lester
I hear I talk I touch but I am blind
my story comes from darkness
listen to my story now unwind
this is a rainy land
First we heard two big bangs
we thought it was the great snake digging holes
Then we saw the big cloud
then the big black mist began to roll
this is a rainy land
A strangeness on our skin
a soreness in our eyes like weeping fire
a pox upon our skin
a boulder on our backs all our lives
this is a rainy land
this is a rainy land
no thunder in our sky
no trees stretching high
but this is a rainy land
My name is Millipuddy
they captured me and roughly washed me down
then my child stopped kicking
then they took away my man to town
they said do you speak English?
he said
I know that Jesus loves me I know
because the bible tells me so
I know that Jesus loves me I know
because the bible tells me so
This is a rainy land
this is a rainy land
no thunder in our sky
no trees stretching high
but this is a rainy land

The waves they roll in and the tide is high
Breath of the wind blows clouds from the sky,
Sun will sink low in a wheel of fire with
Seven great spokes of colours so fine
7 red ships come sailing in with
7 red sails against the sky
7 wild swans with wings of gold will
carry me up from sea to sky
The sky holds a tapestry stitched so fine
Draped from the hands of Southern winds
In the clouds there are drops in the drops there are seas
In the seas there are ships with sails so fine.

Restless

Here he comes he’s just falling down
He’s been driven by the rain in his heart and he’s
restless as he goes
Is he falling? Well why is he falling?
Are the hands of his destiny just pushing him down, and
He see’s her coming. He says ‘Why is she coming?’ because
In his heart he is afraid he might really love her and he’s
Restless as he goes.
Will you stay with me, will you be my lover?
I’ll write you a letter saying I’m not so far from home.
If you’ll stay with me and you’ll be my lover
I’ll write you this letter saying I’m not so far from home and I’m
Restless as I go
He’s just a man but she feels like such an ordinary girl.
She hates to think she’ll lose him but she really fears to lose herself.
We see each other through such delicate walls made of glass
With uneasy confidence as we negotiate our future from our past,
And we’re restless as we go.
Will you stay with me, will you be my lover?
I’ll write you a letter saying I’m not so far from home.
If you’ll stay with me and you’ll be my lover
I’ll write you this letter saying I’m not so far from home and we’re
Restless as we go
and we’re
Restless as we go
and we’re
Restless as we go.
