The Wave

I’ve got my boots
I’ve got my hat
I’ve got my clothes on but
I’ve lost my mind, and I cant find it
Yeah I’ve lost my mind.
Swimming around in the ocean
With my clothes on
But its dragging me down – the steel caps
And I feel a little burnt
Coz my hat floated away
When I got all lost in the whitewash
Then my boots came off
And my clothes came off
And I dropped beneath the wave
And I clutched the sand
Where I was safe
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found, a break in the wave
I found a break in the wave
[Inst]
Then I found my boots
And I found my hat
And I put my clothes on
And walked the dry land.
Yeeaahhh ☺

Grandma, surrounded by angels.

I don’t care if you leave me
For a thousand days
Because I know that when you come back baby
I’ll forget you went away
I don’t care if you see me
In a thousand shades
The picture that you’re painting is just fine -
All those sunny lights and greys
Sunny lights and greys
Sunny lights and greys
And blue skies and blue skies and blue skies yeah hey
Said up-and-away…
You know sometimes I’m disconnected
From the big wide world around
But you make me feel so grounded
With that super, sweet sound.
Eyes of the deepest ocean
I reach the highest skies
With you in my periphery angel
Time just, Well it
Time, Well it
Well it goes by
Well it goes by
Well it goes by just fine
Well it goes by
Well it goes by
Well it goes by just fine
Up iddlay yeahheee uhuh.

Horseback

We used to have so much fun
Riding through the cane
We’d saddle up our horses
Pack up lunch
And spend our time riding around all day
We met on an old school bus
I think I said something like hey
I saw you riding just the other day whoa oh hey hey
I saw you riding just the other day.
Ch:
I wanna see whats around that corner
I want to race up that hill
I want to outrun that farmer
Just to get a thrill
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
We started up this friendship
Based on common ground
We’d spend our weekends getting lost
At no cost
and most of the time
we’d make it home before dark.
Sitting on horseback contemplating
Looking out over the valley view
The canefields and the mountains of forest
And maybe just a house or two in view.
Ch:
Rolling and racing and falling
Climbing new heights
Yeah when we went riding together,
Together we would fly, fly, fly
From the cane fields
And up into the mountains
From the mountains
And back down to the ocean la di da
Said what a living la di da
La di da said what a living.
Racing, contemplating, packing lunch what a view….

All the way back down

Your face, to me
Makes me happy,
When we're walking.
Your smile, to me
Makes me smile,
When i'm wondering.
We went, up to that place
Where we both like,
To just be.
And you asked me,
If we could stay,
If we could stay,
for all of time.
And i loved you all the way,
All the way back down.
Loved you all the way,
all the way back down.
The words, that you say
have the power,
to leave me falling.
These things,
We are content,
Give us the freedom,
to continue growing...
Now i can hear your voice,
Whisper in the trees,
And i can smell your hair,
Feel you in the breeze (repeat phrase)
