FOREVER LEAVING HOME / Lyrics by Terry Findlay
Music By Martin Springett
A missing ship
adrift in heaving darkened seas
a waning moon dims behind a slowly drifting cloud
A lone sailor keeping watch
is praying to his sunken gods
for a sign
for a sign to follow home
to follow home
A jagged flash
lightening blinds his seeking eyes
in the darkness following a spectral form appears
offering everlasting safety
relief from curiosity
believing in salvation
the sailor shakes it’s hand
A missing ship
Adrift in heaving darkened seas
A waning moon dims behind a slowly drifting cloud
A lone sailor keeping watch
Is praying to his sunken gods
For a sign
For a sign to follow home
Now the faithful sailor
Sails from sea to foreign sea
always believing that safe harbour is drawing near
but as the years go by
without arrival on the shore
the sailor wonders if a deal made in desperation
can ever save your soul
ever save your soul
Forever leaving home

SISTER OF THEFT / Lyrics from a poem by Sandra Kasturi
Music by Martin Springett
Time is the mother of invention
And the sister of theft
It is the glass globe of hand spun conjurings
On the end of the spindle shaft
Dancing in the shadow of the long hand
Twirling in the lee of the short hand
Time is the mother of invention
And the sister of theft

WOMAN IN THE WAVES / Words and Music by Martin Springett
The thunder rolls
as white foam flies
against the steel grey skies of Perthudden
A woman stands
amongst the pounding waves
tied to mast and to rigging
Three see her there
from the darkening shore
her hand is raised as if in greeting
Then closed to a fist
it becomes a hook
In the heart of the one she has chosen
Now the one of three
whose heart is pierced
must step into the churning waves
To join her there
amidst the rising tide
to drown
or to take her as his bride
Instrumental interlude
On thunderous dark and lonely nights
the two are the ocean’s children
their faces are masks of madness and love
As thunder rains down from above
Bright kisses
fall upon them
Bright kisses
fall upon them

RARE BIRDS (YOUNG WINGS) - Words and music by Martin Springett
Open the cages let them fly
rare birds will colour the sky
with brilliant blues and dazzling ochre
shades shimmering toward the sunset
Discard the destroyers
desert the enemies of difference
discourse and delight
Rare birds will come to roost
Upon the rooftops
Rare sights will light up the sky
Birds will sing
bringing rare airs
rustling the thrilling harmonies
To growing perceptions
my story
your story
his story
her story
Rare birds will come to roost
upon the rooftops
rare sights will light up the sky
Rare sounds
the alien becomes the friend of longing
of sight redeemed
Rare birds will come to roost
upon the rooftops
rare sights will light up the sky
Will light up the sky
