An empty wind of a broken time.
If I can’t mend your wings,
I’ll gladly lend you mine.
An autumn’s breeze to brush your hair.
This hopeful ship of shattered dreams,
Forward I will guide you baby,
In turn you will be mine.
And soon she’ll be set free in the Tasman.
In the Tasman, baby, is where she’ll go
The silent song before the storm
If what the devil really fears
Your broken dream once lost in time
Re-build itself inside your mind
Autumn breeze will sail you home as I sing my silent song
Forward I will guide you baby
In turn you will be mine
And soon she’ll be set free in the Tasman.
In the Tasman, babe, is where she’ll go
And soon she’ll be set free in the Tasman.
In the Tasman baby
With every breath, with every fleeting moment
Another verse for every prolonged hour
I engraved a name that sang to me
On the bark of your old willow tree
And watched as it wept with empty wind running through the leaves
To hear you dye laughing, forgetting a place you thought you’d always know
I’ll be with you ‘till the end, singing. My silent song
In the Tasman

I’m counting constellations but soon losing track
of the times that i’ve looked up without looking back
a wanderers nightmare with a travellers dream
don’t know where i’m going but i’m going full steam
too cold to stand gazing with my eyes at the stars
shaking the thoughts of my footsteps on mars
a painting, a picture the canvas is free
you can soak up the sky but you can’t drink the sea
chill up my spine and a satellite above
can’t read my thoughts but it can measure love
of a time and a place that has haunted my soul
return back there someday to re-stake my role
as a dreamer, a dreamer out counting the stars
what are the chances of walking on mars?
i hope i go, and when i go, who will be there?
will they be someone who honestly cares?
drop of water in an endless sea it blends so seamlessly
maze of burning flames they chart the in-between uncertainty
lost, a grain of sand I suffer
deep I find it's undiscovered
the lights are out the sun take cover
the satellites will see

there was a time where time worked for me
looking back at old written thoughts
think of what has really changed
the fashion of my penmanship grows sloppy through the pages
as i'm drifting through the ages
hurried through the time
love has formed me
fate has lead me
hope has given me hope
habit changed me
song explains me
the components of mine
object of desire sometimes seems so out of reach
buried deep, a wishing well
i'd pay a forturne for forgiveness
just not the kind you'd hope to find
it's roots are ever twisting
a ship that's ever listing
searching for the calm
love has formed me
fate has lead me
hope has given me hope
habit changed me
song explains me
the components of mine
the truth has stripped me
failure trained me
faith assures me
can't erase me
humbled to the core
can't erase me
can't erase me
can't erase me
or these components of mine
