Your Heart Of Gold

(written by Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields)

I know a place where the sun shines like a diamond

It glistens across the horizon

Like the way your eyes reach into mine

Chasing the light

I just wanna go there with your heart of gold

We can take the back streets, tell me where to go

We can turn the radio on to play your song

Play it all night long

La da da da da da da da da da

I know a place where the birds fly on the breeze just for fun

Lean into me as the sun goes down

Oh and I take your hand and spin you around

Whisper this all we need

I just wanna go there with your heart of gold

We can take the back streets, tell me where to go

We can turn the radio on to play your song

Play it all night long

La da da da da da da da da da

With you I feel like a child again

Like when the rain came down in the summertime

Bare feet on warm pavement

And all the hope in my heart

I just wanna go there with your heart of gold

We can take the back streets, tell me where to go

We can turn the radio on to play your song

Play it all night long

La da da da da da da da da da

Whirlwind

(written by Matt Joe Gow)

Fists down on the table

I was unable to understand

But I was just a kid

I’d take things that were broken

Smash ‘em together into something

Cut your hand, let it bleed

Now the grass has grown knee high

But I’m wading through a waist-deep mess

Found something buried here

When my only love laid to rest

Tell me, are you with me now?

Lord, are you with me?

Tell me, are you with me now?

Lord, are you with me?

Change, I heard it was coming

For the drink, for the drugs, for the violence

Honey look away

Shake loose all the dead weight

Feel like I’m standing in an earthquake

In the dead of night I reap the whirlwind

Now the grass has grown knee high

But I’m wading through a waist-deep mess

Found something buried here

When my only love laid to rest

Tell me, are you with me now?

Lord, are you with me?

Tell me, are you with me now?

Lord, are you with me?

In the dead of night I reap the whirlwind

Lord, are you with me in the dying hours?

No Trace

(written by Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields)

Smoke is rising

Shadows are flickering

Full moon is high

And heaven is closing

It’s still warm in the ashes

But I ain't got a spark to start again

It’s still warm in the ashes

Don’t go hanging on the good times

Oh my sweetheart

It’s too late to try

Don’t go hanging on the good times

Oh my sweetheart

You’ve gotta let the flame die

I’ll bury the matches

Ain't no second chances

Let it rain ‘til there ain’t no trace

There ain’t no trace

Don’t go hanging on the good times

It’s too late to cry

Don’t go hanging on the good times

Oh my sweetheart

You’ve gotta let the flame die

Smoke is rising

Shadows are flickering

Full moon is high

And heaven is closing

Carry On

(written by Matt Joe Gow)

There are no stars

In a world without you

And I get no sleep

Though weary all the time

Pick a rose

Carry it with me

As the road unwinds

To die in my hand

Seems I was wrong

Life just carries on

Now that you're gone

We carry on

What I'd give

To walk beside you

Down that path

Your hand held in mine

O my love

I shall carry you with me

Find you in song

Forever 'til the end

Seems I was wrong

Life just carries on

Now that you're gone

We carry on

Lord, let me dream about you now

Lord, let me dream about you

Seems I was wrong

Life carries on

Now that you're gone

Carry on

Prairie Song

(written by Kerryn Fields)

Lovin’ you is like holdin’ back wild horses

Tryin’ to reach a rose in a blackberry vine

I recall the time I dove in the river

Current so swift, I nearly drifted away

Ooo, I’m reachin’ on your hand to hold

Ooo, waitin’ on the fire to warm

Ooo, the trail is long

And we are born in hard times

Thank you for the ring

You forged in the mountains

I will go again if I must, if I must

Diamonds are dreams

And nobody knows the reason

It’s just some old thing

That keeps travellin’ on

Ooo, I’m reachin’ on your hand to hold

Ooo, waitin’ on the fire to warm

Ooo, the trail is long

And we are born in hard times

And they’ll call us pioneers

And we’ll sing our prairie song

But we won’t recall

We were here at all

So kick off your boots

Lean upon the doorframe

Ragged and rough
Hardened by God

Sit on the porch

Lean upon the doorframe

Look at the same moon

First and the last the light will ever become

Ooo, I’m reachin’ on your hand to hold

Ooo, waitin’ on the fire to warm

Ooo, the trail is long

And we are born in hard times

Love Ya Like I Can

(written by Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields)

Baby I’m that man

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

Baby I’m that man

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

Whoohoo

I don’t need no man

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

I don’t need no man

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

Whoohoo

You’ve got a hell of a shake

C’mon baby take my hand

I’m a hard headed woman, Daddy

What don’t ya understand?

It’s a long shot with high stakes

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

Love ya like I can

Baby I’m that man

Stayed around about as long as I can

I don’t need no man

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

Whoohoo

You’ve got a hell of a shake

Cmon baby take my hand

I’m a hard headed woman, Daddy

What don’t ya understand?

It’s a long shot with high stakes

Ain't nobody love ya like I can

Love ya like I can

Black Sand

(written by Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields)

I remember your form

Remember like it’s yesterday

I was just a child

I remember ways

I remember you and me

Remember this land

Remember it shaping me

I remember love

Though I lost you in the waves

I remember you and me

I’m running on the black sand

I’m running, I’m running

I wanna come back to you

I’m on the black sand

I’ll meet you at the waves

I remember you

I’m never too far

In this place especially

I reach out for you

I’m touching your skin

I remember you and me

Remember this land

Remember it shaping me

I remember love

I’m watching from the waves

I remember you and me

I’m running on the black sand

I’m running, I’m running

I wanna come back to you

I’m on the black sand

I’ll meet you at the waves

I remember you

It Dawned On Me

(written by Dave Dobbyn)

There's a black-blue front stole the west horizon

Under ocean song, hear the tolling bell

On the seventh wave rides my aspirations

They will break for sure, all my dreams to tell

And it dawned on me

It dawned on me

It just dawned on me

This must be what your heart reveals

Blood-red bloom pōhutukawa

The black dunes hiss with the grasses' breath

I'll gather my driftwood and light a beacon

It's for you I cry, it's for you I burn

It dawned on me

It just dawned on me

It dawned on me

This must be what your heart reveals

Oh and hey

It just dawned on me for the first time

This must be what your heart reveals

It dawned on me

It just dawned on me

This must be what your heart reveals

Dead Flowers & Stale Wine

(written by Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields)

Back through the door again

Dead flowers on the window sill
Sailors to sirens

Spoiled like stale wine

Set in a picture frame

Waves crashing

Frozen in a moment

Gasping for air

You say there’s nothing left

Nothing down at this depth

We are porcelain

Cracked and bound by gold again

Drowning inside us

What there once was

You say there’s nothing left

Nothing down at this depth

Take in the longest breath

Hold it tight, let it burn your chest

Lately we’re sinking anyway

From all the years we gave away

Blue skies are fading

Blue eyes are crying

The tide is rising

You say there’s nothing left

Nothing down at this depth

Here I’ll Be

(written by Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields)

Upon a southern crest of rock and tussock

Where the fern reveals our silver vein

I will light a wick of flame eternal

In a sudden storm no harm will come

Ooo, I am free

Ooo, here i’ll be

Where the river wails over sacred stone

And the mountains call us back to dust

I will carve a sound of love immortal

Though it may be dark, I bear no pain

Ooo, I am free

Ooo, here i’ll be

Kua maumāhara ki a koe (I remember you)
