It’s a new day in the new age

The same suns still shining down

There’s confusion all around us

With traditions spinning round

There’s excitement in the new age 

As we question all we’ve known

As we rise above our fears

The new age has begun

And whilst caring for tomorrow

We’re living for today

And it’s all about our journey

Not where we finally lay

As the final chapters closing

The suns setting on that page

Let the past be laid to rest now

It’s the dawning of the new age

It’s a new day in the new age

The same tide still hits our shore

As we try to clear the debris

Ask the universe for more

There’s empowerment in the new age

Little tolerance for fakes

As we strive to be enlightened 

And not make the same mistakes

And whilst caring for tomorrow

We’re living for today

And it’s all about our journey

Not where we finally lay

As the final chapters closing

The suns setting on that page

Let the past be laid to rest now

It’s the dawning of the new age

Never once do they impose or crowd your precious hours
Yes, they’re the ones, that we just call, those real good friends of ours
They may live, a thousand miles away or in your local street
They enjoy each other’s company, whenever they may meet

There are the times that you may need, a shoulder to lean on
Friends are always there to help give strength to carry on
Enjoying times together, in party and in song
Pick you up, and give you hope, whenever things go wrong

And when you think about it mate – just think again
How many down the years can you call fair dinkum friends
Astronauts could tell us, they fit in just a spoon
Cause true fair dinkum friends are like, Diamonds from the Moon
Those precious ones are rare, as Diamonds from the Moon

Never once will good friends, treat you like a fool
Never once will they tell tales about you out of school
One can never buy a friend, it doesn’t work that way
Acquaintances will pass you by and bid you time of day

Politics, Religion, opinions of your own
With friends you can argue, no malice ever shown
And borrow, maybe lend, with friends you can be sure
When the chips are down, they’ll be there, knocking at your door

And when you think about it mate – just think again
How many down the years can you call fair dinkum friends
Astronauts could tell us, they fit in just a spoon
Cause true fair dinkum friends are like, Diamonds from the Moon
Those precious ones are rare, as Diamonds from the Moon

Album: Out Of A Shadow - Shaza Leigh (1995)


Well I've been playing the field for sometime now

Searching for that special love

Now I'm tired of make believing

Finally had more than enough

My head is saying you'll just hurt me

My heart keeps coming back for more

And this time I think I've fallen

It's why I need to know for sure

Don't call me sweetheart in the evening

If in the morning you'll be gone

Don't call me sweetheart as you're leaving

Just leave before the break of dawn

With the many knocks and bruises

Comes the pain I have endured

Can't withstand another heartbreak

That's why I need to be assured

And with you I think I've found it

Or whatever it may be

For who knows what is true love

Or how much is fantasy

Don't call me sweetheart in the evening

If in the morning you'll be gone

Don't call me sweetheart as you're leaving

Just leave before the break of dawn

Don't call me sweetheart in the evening

If in the morning you'll be gone

Don't call me sweetheart if you're leaving

Don't stay to say you'll love me

Or you'll be thinking of me

When I awake just be gone

Just be gone

DON'T KNOW WHERE

I don’t know where and I don’t care
I don’t know why I’m going there
But I do know I still love you
Even when you’re close you’re far away
That’s why I can no longer stay
I’d be a fool to try to hold you

I still see you standing there pretending that you care
Telling me the way things were and the way they’ll be again
You say there’s nothing wrong everything will be just fine
But you should know me better I’m not blind

I don’t know where and I don’t care
I don’t know why I’m going there
But I do know I still love you
Even when you’re close you’re far away
That’s why I can no longer stay
I’d be a fool to try to hold you

Just stand and take a look at where we’re headed for
There’s no turning back
now that we’ve let it go this far
It’s gone too far

I don’t know where and I don’t care
I don’t know why I’m going there
But I do know I still love you
Even when you’re close you’re far away
That’s why I can no longer stay
I’d be a fool to try to hold you

Do you remember some time ago
In mid-September dancing slow
You were the one so safe and sound
I was the one just spinning round
Do you remember

Do you remember at the start
You won me over stole my heart
You were the one to chase me down
I was the one to stand my ground
Do you remember

Love has us spinning round
on life’s great merry-go-round
We’d never been more alive
We were born to survive
Do you remember

Do you remember how we’d feel
Being together we were real
You were the one to let me down
I was the one to stand my ground
Do you remember

‘Cause love had us spinning round
‘Till we came crashing down
Now you say you want me back

But there’s no chance of that
Do you remember ‘cause I remember
Do you remember ‘yes I remember
Do you remember

When I was a child from our station cook Molly

The ways of the ancients were told

She’d point out the sky with her glistening eye

Let the dramas of Dreamtime unfold

And all things are written not once but two times

In the heavens as well as on earth

Sitting by Molly’s side with eyes open wide

We’d feast on those stories of worth

Like the Milky Way rivers way up on high

Aligned by our ancestors fires

See clusters of jewels in our southern sky

Through the windows of Dreamtime Cathedrals

The windows of Dreamtime Cathedrals

Once night time was dark no lights graced the sky

Some elders back then were convening

Till a thin aged old man came up with a plan

Look his night boomerang is still gleaming

And a family of sisters seven in all

By a warrior of grimly pursued

He captured two and off they both flew

And each night the chase is renewed

Like the Milky Way rivers way up on high

Aligned by our ancestors fires

See clusters of jewels in our southern sky

Through the windows of Dreamtime Cathedrals

The windows of Dreamtime Cathedrals

Yes all things are written not once but two times

Like the Great Emu up in the sky

Now from May to September I’ll always remember

Aunt Molly in winters night
