1.Exploring The Blue
I go down into the water
And dive as deep as man can go
Into those dark places
Watch the underwater flow
Exploring the blue
Exploring the blue
Exploring the blue
In search of you
Here I stand by the mountain
Look up to the sky
Knowing it's a matter of having to climb
Above this place these clouds lie
Exploring the blue
Exploring the blue
Exploring the blue
In search of you
It may be high
It may be low
Where I think you are
That's where I'll go
That's where I'll go
That's where I'll go
I go into the water
And dive as deep as man can go
3.Gone To Pablo
The maid came to her room Wednesday morning
Found a pistol lying by her side
For thirteen years she kept her fires burning
Lost in pictures, no place left to hide
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Alone too long, the night became her lover
She knew that he'd been waiting all this time
With dreams and magic pictures to uncover
Now that all that earthly sadness was behind
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
People go to galleries in Europe
To wonder and to feel Picasso's soul
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
5.You
Simply living room scene
Photographs of you
The floor is a mess with my things
My jeans, my shoes
A voice called in the dead of the night
I heard it before, it never warns
We love to smell roses
There are no roses without thorns
And I have loved
And I do
Still I love ... you ... you
Outside autumn leaves
Lightly kiss the ground
What once was luscious green
Now is gorgeous brown
And I have loved
And I do
Still I love ... you ... you
6.Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
When I look at you
I see your power
But when your blues come around
You're so hard on yourself
Somebody needs you
You always come through
You let nobody down
But when you're low
Where do you go
Who helps you come around
When I look at you
I see things you don't seem to
You're so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
Somebody needs you
You always come through
You let nobody down
But when you're low
Where do you go
Who helps you come around
Life's not easy
Sometimes the heart aches
I will sing a song for you
Don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
8.Diamond Mountain
Voices cry out, shells of houses
White-faced children, hungry eyes
The cruel sea calls the unwilling traveller
Who would look for the road to survival
Hold my hand a little longer
Take one last look out over the fields
To the reds and the browns of Diamond Mountain
Bring the smell and the sound to your station
I will be here when you need me
I will be here in the pouring rain
I will be here on Diamond Mountain
They bring their song line to Australia
Scattering magical airs, cities, towns
The dreaming road to Diamond Mountain
An ordinary wonder on the heather ground
Hold my hand a little longer
Take one last look out over the fields
To the reds and the browns of Diamond Mountain
Bring the smell and the sound to your station
He kisses his love, Diamond Mountain
The mad wind whistles, bushes, stones
Like two March swallows back on the mountain
Come full circle at last, heaven is home
9.Perfect Groove
I'm looking for the perfect groove
I'm getting ready to move
So much rhythm to choose
I want to sing for you
I'm looking for the perfect tune
So perfect I could swoon
Dance like honeymoon
I want to sing for you
I love it when different people
Come and gather around
They dip into a different world
There's a singer in town
I love to see the bodies swaying
Hips shifting along
Together we'll find the rhythm
Get into the song
The night could be long
I'm looking for the perfect food
Not undercooked or stewed
A tasty little mood
I want to sing for you
I'm looking for the perfect you
And a love that's simple and true
It's what I'm ready to do
I want to sing for you.
10.Monsoon
Everyday is the rainy season
Every night is a full moon
Whenever I'm with you darling
Love is a monsoon
Goosebumps all around my skin
Whenever you come into the room
Fresh wild smell of jasmine
Love is a monsoon
Alone I walk the hillside
Alone I pace the sand
Alone I think about you
Close my eyes and I kiss your hand
Alone I lick the rain
Streaming down upon your face
Alone I see the moment
We're together in a high place
Alone I sing your praises
Alone I have to let you know
Alone, you make the ripples
Honeywater afterglow
Rain comes pouring down
Pouring down
In the wind, the kiss of wisdom
In the mountain, silent touch
In the river, juices flow
To the rhythm that I need so much
Outside the roar of thunder
Streets drip wet in the rain
Inside honeywater lingers
Please God we'll meet again
Love is a monsoon
11.The Fertile Rock
In the flowering desert
Lies the heart and soul of man
Find a deep well to draw from
And give back as you can
In the moonlight musicians
Hear their tunes in the Burren wind
And in the shadows
Where an old faith's sheltered,
The painter's work begins
Footsteps, I could learn to listen
Footsteps, how I long to trace
Footsteps, I could learn to listen
To footsteps of an ancient race
The fertile rock ...
To the flowering desert
Roll the wheels of greed
Wells dry forever,
The orchid starts to bleed
Footsteps, I could learn to listen
Footsteps, how I long to trace
Footsteps, I could learn to listen
To footsteps of an ancient race
The fertile rock ...
Fertile rock
Ancient Place
Walk there, walk there
Footsteps
Ancient Place
Not for sale
Walk there, walk there
Fertile rock ...
12.Delirious
You play safe
You loose the game
You keep your secrets
I wanna fly on a high trapeze
I get dizzy off my knees
Hope there is a dove waiting to fly with me
Because I know that shelf's no place for me to be
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious
I played hide and seek and found you
I brought a small bouquet to give you
Full of daydreams and cliches to please you
I'm such a novice at this
Forgive me, forgive me
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious, delirious
I'll try a little harder every day, every day
To take in what you say to me
To give you what you want me to
To love you like I should do
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious, delirious ...
13.Gabriel
Gabriel, can't you hear me
Hear me call in the night
Gabriel, never leave me
Just stay here by my side
My angel watches over me
And keeps me from all harm
I close my eyes at the end of the day
And lie in my angel's arms
My angel knows the darkest places
Deep down in my soul
And loves me when I can't myself
And tells what I need to be told
Gabriel, can't you hear me
Hear me call in the night
Gabriel, never leave me
Just stay here by my side, my angel
If I lose my way or step out of line
Let me hear you say, I'll be fine
My angel, my angel
