Falling Through (L.Sinclair)
when i heard about you
i was in the middle of a song
took the tune right out of me
to know that you were gone
we saw you falling
long before you fell through
before something shook
the gold right out of you
so much space to fill
when you’re living between the lines
you were always hard to reach
i’d see you at the bar sometimes
i could never pin you down
or find a clear line through
and then something shook
the gold right out of you
you gotta keep your motor rollin’
there’s no way back down
through the dust to change your mind
only thing you gonna change
is who you left behind
down on jericho road
we’ll all be thinkin’ it through
we’ll take a drag and take a drink
and think of you
you gotta keep your motor rollin’

Jackie (L.Sinclair)
jackie was a tough kid
she’d light up when the moon did
shining like a streetlight
down on the corner near where I lived
we got caught stealing cigarettes
jackie’s Mumma slapped her in the teeth
she said ‘you aint gonna see him no more
you’re just a kid he’s just a thief
when Jackie smiled there was blood on her lip
i just waited for someone to speak
she slid a cigarette into my sleeve
and said I’ll see you next week
jackie was a tough kid
we were so young
nobody loved her like I did
but you can’t catch the sun
there were times she would disappear
i wouldn’t see her on the school bus
then she’d turn up somewhere out of the dark
just like the sunrise does
she was pretty in the best way
she used to smell like pine wood
she had a heart that was set like stone
no one could hurt her like her Mumma could
jackie was a tough kid
we were so young
nobody loved her like I did
no body no one

Sugar Cane (L.Sinclair)
moonlight in the kitchen
dropping cigarettes down the drain
standing by the open window listening
to the rattle of my brain
the tv’s like a lullaby
veranda light’s are low
nothing but the crickets
and the creaking of the floorboards
and you, breathing deep and slow
if you had love at any time
you hid it like a thief
somewhere in the white noise
somewhere underneath
im thinking of that train
heading north through the sugar cane
honey I can almost feel
the rolling of those wheels
the hum across the hillside
comin up from the freeway down below
sends a hum across my heartstrings
lately it’s the only song I know
love cannot be trusted
sometimes love will leave
sometimes you get busted
sometimes you get free
im thinking of that train
heading north through the sugar cane
honey I can almost feel
the rolling of those wheels

Honey (N.O’Mara)
when you’re fishin’ by the river
and you’re wishin’ for luck and love
you can use me as your bait anytime
just put me on a hook and honey baby drop a line
when the light comes through your window
and the day starts to break on you
you can call me from the bed where you lie
just get me on the phone and I’ll be there right on time
honey let me take you there
you know there can be anywhere
when your crooked friends present you
with their lies mixed up with the truth
we can run all night through the city
they’ll never stop us cause honey they aint got no proof
honey let me take you there
you know there can be anywhere

Waterline (L.Sinclair/N.O’Mara)
I took the long way home
thought of you sinking to the rock and stone
when you’re lonely it’ll come on slowly
like lines on the back of your hands
creep across you like shifting sands
you were so far away from home
holding the wrong side of a wishing bone
out where the water meets the sky
I caught you in the corner of my eye
I saw you drowning but you never waved
I just watched hoping you’d be saved
now I’m haunted by the ripples
on the surface of the waterline
you were so far away from home
holding the wrong side of a wishing bone
there was a time when I could see us
clear as the day before the darkness took my mind
I remember when people wanted to be us
back in the days before it started to unwind
now I’m haunted by the ripples
on the surface of the waterline
you were so far away from home
holding the wrong side of a wishing bone

Window Seat (L.Sinclair)
just another streetlight
but the colors don’t seem right
around this town
been such a long time
since you ain’t been around
speeding down the old lines
just following the road signs
following the lead
i never been in the mess i’m in
but I guess you had to leave
we had diamonds in the bloodstream
one hand in the wind one on the wheel
there were silver lines inside our minds
we were chasing something real
i miss the way you made me feel
it was nothing but a shit fight
in the end i tried to do right
but honey you know me
i got somethin of a mean streak
and I’m prone to jealousy
it’s funny how I miss you so much
funny how it all unwinds
and how the best of friends can fall away
and then finally cut that line
there was something in the distance
it was gone in an instant
the colour caught my eye
sleeping in the window seat
dreaming of the open sky

Doorstep (N.O’Mara)
i'm drinkin with a friend of a friend
another Saturday night at another loose end
and the crowds and the lights and the shuffle and the din
and I’m laughing alone but I don’t hear a thing
i’m thinking of the sweetness of your skin
how you’d open the door and you’d just let me in
wipe the sleep from your eyes I’m at your doorstep again
standing at the bar standing in line
i check my pockets and I check the time
looking for something I never find
last drinks last call while im waiting for a sign
i’m thinking of the sweetness of your skin
how you’d open the door and you’d just let me in
wipe the sleep from your eyes I’m at your doorstep again
your standing in your doorway like a fawn
and I’m throwing myself at your feet again
as the night breaks to dawn
i could let this city burn you know I never learn
i’m looking at the sweetness of your skin
now you’ve opened the door and you’ve just let me in
wipe the tears from your eyes I’m at your doorstep again

Days Fall (L.Sinclair)
i work so hard tryin to make it
work so hard to get paid
work so hard to feel something
that’s gonna steal my heart away
im tired of turning over twos and threes
tired of wakin up sore
tired of feelin’ like you’re gonna leave
don’t wanna feel like that no more
havin’ no money makes you crazy
sometimes i get so mean
i been takin’ some cheap shots lately
i can see that you’re runnin’ out of steam
my own worst enemy baby i know
i promise this time i’ll beat it down
just gotta find somethin’ i can fall back on
that aint booze or weed and i’ll come around
days fall away like dying leaves
you get a little time in the sun
then you’re ridin’ the breeze
days fall away like dying leaves
hold on honey i ain’t gonna let you down
hold on and we’ll come out clean
i aint pretty but you know i can dance babe
i got some of the best moves you never seen
been on the back-foot for too long
always afraid of the lion’s roar
i’m gonna steer this right into the sun now
i’m gonna do it for you baby that’s for sure
days fall away like dying leaves
you get a little time in the sun
then you’re ridin’ the breeze
days fall away like dying leaves
