THE WIND IS HIGH

We’ll sail our ship in order

the captain says we or too

all hands on deck and we’ll rise the flag

that’s not all we have to do

all hands on deck and we’ll rise the flag

that’s not all we have to do

My love is watching the great whales

as they swim against the tide

my love is watching the great whales

as they swim from side to side

Set sail for India, set sail for Japan

the wind is high and the currents rising

and the salt air in my souland the salt air in my soul

This open air life this the place for me

I can roam around this world

this open air life is the place for me

if the wind is in my sail

Players all are we

in the game of life

searching for our way

as the road unwinds

Every day a little shorter

every season has its day

turn the clock, we’re getting older

Players all are we, players all are we

As long as there’s love

we will survive

plow the seeds

ITS A SHAME

Its a shame you don’t treat me as you shouldits a shame no my heart ain’t made of wood catch a river as it flowscatch a moonbeam in a starits a shame you don’t treat me like you should

It takes more than to heal a broken heartit takes time to mend what deep withincatch a rainbow in a jarcatch footsteps in one breatheit takes more than to heal a broken heart

chorus

It takes more than to heal a broken heartcatch a river as it flowscatch a moonbeam in one starits a shame you don’t treat me as you shouldits a shame no my heart ain’t made of wood

Had I wings that I could flyhad I moonbeams in a row

It a shame that my heart ain’t made of wood

Love in love with no one left to findcatch a river with one breathecatch another falling starit takes time to heal a broken heartit takes time to build what’s in the darktake my heartand take my soultake these strings of love I foundit takes more to heal a broken heart

FREEDOM COMES SLOWLY

I want to fly, like a bird, through the sky, free and highFly through the sky, I won’t look down, I won’t look back

Chorus

Freedom comes slowly (2)Then it fades awayFreedom comes slowly (2)Don’t let it fade away

I want to run like a horse, through the valleys so green, runlike the wind over mountains and streams

Chorus

I want to sing like a dove, all through the day, sing all mycares and my troubles away

Chorus

Oh a man can not fly, or sing like a dove, but a man he canlove and speak of the wind

THE RAIN AND I

The rain and ICry different tearsBut each tear we cry is for reason

The rain and ICry different tearsBut each tear we cry is for reason

Scatted in the windNo rain upon my tongueAs empty drops of tearsTurn in to rain drops

To ease the groundwhere love is foundOn shifting sandsThat blow so far

Chorus

Clouds roll on byOver vast and empty skyIn love they will cryAs tear drops

To ease the groundwhere love is foundOn shifting sandsThat blow so far

Chorus

I’ll hold my groundIn due course I’ll be throughUntil that comesI stand and say to you

A TRAVELLED MAN

I know how near how farWe are just who we are

I’m a travelled manI’m a travelled manThat’s what I am

Thou the hills are far awayI’ll remember all my day Chorus

Through the desert eyes I’ve seenA land that lives in dreams Chorus

I’ve seen the place where Jesus layIn a castle far away Chorus

They said died for peace of manAnd he only had one plan Chorus

Through the desert eyes I’ve seenA land that lives in dreams Chorus

Oh I know how near how farWe are just who we are

THERE IS A TIME

There’s a time for coming togetherThere’s a time to stand in lineThere’s a time for building bridgesThere’s a time to walk but not run

There’s a time, there’s a timeYou should know what’s on your mindThere’s a time, there’s a timeYou should pray that there’s a time

There’s a time for sharing freedomThere’s a time to march for loveThere’s a time for hope and prayingThere’s a time to raise your voice

chorus

A time for planting treesA time to clean each messA time for growing olderA time to know what true

chorus

There’s a time for general consensusThere’s a time to say the truthThere’s a time for more than visionThere’s a time to say that’s not enough

I AM THE KEEPER

I am the keeper of the lightI climb these stairs each nightSo ships may sail these waters freeTo far off lands, where they, come and go

If not for me the lighthouse would not shineFrom this light, they come and goFrom the light, by the raging seaThey are free

The rocks around have tasted many shipsSome did float from far off landsSome do find there way to beBe what it may, now there history

Chorus

And if it was in my destinyTo build a family by these sandsAnd share this peaceful world I knowWith a harbour view, as they come and go

In the hills around I have many friendsSome I known since time beganWhere once they stood on burning rocksOld friends are like good wine

SEVEN LONELY CHILDREN

Seven lonely childrenWandering through the snowThere world around was burningThere was nowhere left to go

There house and home had blown upFrom bombs that glowed so brightScreaming through the nightSomehow they survived

Chorus

In dreams as broken rag dollsBarefoot on chatted glassThey world behind was emptyThey time had now passed

The road of life can be hard my friendLike whiskey on your shoulderYou try so hard but your back does acheAnd you’re getting older

Try if can but you can make a mends

If you try to read the book of lifeTo understand each reasonYou’ll blow your mind if you cross that lineAnd come back in one season

Chorus

Clouds over up the clear sunIn thought of visionIf it don’t rain and berth the skyYou’ll never understand the season

Sam Green & the Time Machine — Love Has Its Answers

Buy it from InSound Get this on iTunes

Australian singer/songwriter Sam Green covets the indie rock notion that lately finds artists using intriguing recording techniques. The sound is lo-fi, warm, and extremely personal—almost as if the time machine and Sam were right in your living room inviting you to jam along. Vocally he can sometimes stumble, lingering on a note until his voice breaks, but that’s what gives the album its unique personality. I like it a lot and look forward to him touring the states.

This branch has no leavesIts going to flower when it canIt got roots to the groundIts going to grow and grow and grow

its love has no endits going to flower when it canits got love deep withinits grow in the heart of men
