Brooke Fraser’s Songs Lyrics



Cochella

Before a neon night's lighting I'm right beside you

The fire in motionThe fire in motion

The desert sun sinking

Sleepy and low

But we're just waking

We are waking

River time is a mountain tonight

Before tomorrow she flows onCarving valleys in the skin on our faces

I am bright as the sun

You are high as a kite

We are daughters, sons, brothers and sisters tonight

At Coachella

Coachella

Come on now darling, let's shake off these blues

I'll let my hair out, you'll slip off your shoes

I feel like a baby, newborn in the spring

I'm setting down the sadness and I won't remember it

I'm a warm bleeding heart

You're a generous soul

And I love you though I'd never met you before

To Coachella

Coachella

We are standing on the shore

In the smoke, in the starlight

On the edge of a human sea

And the tide is in



Something in the water

Do do do do do do do do do do

I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things

What she wears, what she wears, what she wears

Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems

How they sing, how they sing, how they sing

Give me nights of solitude,

red wine just a glass or two, (brickland?) in a hammock on a balmy evening

I'll pretend that its no thing thatâ€™s skipping my

heart when I think of you

thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Theres something in the water, something in the water

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Theres something in the water that makes me love you like I do

I’ve got halo made of summer, rhythms made of spring

What she wears, what she wears, what she wears

I got crowns of words a woven each one a song to sing

Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing

Give me long days in the sun, preludes to the nights to come (babies?)

of the mornings laying in all lazy give me something

fun to do like a life of loving you

kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you

Oooh oooh oooh [x3]

Give me nights of solitude,

red wine just a glass or two, give me something fun to do



Orphans kingdom

In me, in you

Orphans, kingdoms

Wide eyes and paper crowns

Time will hold us,

Time eroders

We're wrinkling chilling out

We are wondering where the wild wind blows

We are happy here 'cause the wild wind knows

What we are

Orphans, kingdoms

In me, in you

Things explorers

Named with codes of arms

A world inside us

A feast, a harvest

Each of us slum a star



What we are

Orphans, kingdoms

Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die

We will look our waker in the eye

Raise a flag and then drink to your health

Who is he that can comfort himself?



What we are

Orphans, kingdoms



Ice on her lashes

The lone woman stands in the turning December

She's got ice on her lashes, white at her winter coat

The trees stand like soldiers around her

Dutiful wooden curse

And the heart she feared frozen

Still beats and still marches on

Oh, Annie

I will think of you each time I see the sun

Didn't want a day without you

But somehow I've lived through another one

A gentlemen waits on a platform in a haze of gray and grief

Now he's sold up his assets, starting over at 70

The steam blasts like trumpets around him

Salutes on the colonnade

As he thinks to himself:

"We're all waiting for our train to come"

Oh, Annie

I will think of you each time I see the sun

Didn't want a year without you

But somehow I've lived through another one

Did you find it hard to breathe at first?

Were you wounded and in disbelief at how much it hurt?

Now the ache's still burning, but the world's still turning

Isn't it?

Oh, Annie

I still think of you each time I see the sun

Didn't want a life without you

But here I am living one



Jack

He got the droop of a fatherless child

Almost imperceptible, one can't see it with the naked eye

Oh but I can

That cardboard lady in the corner store

Her sparkle is all painted on

Six no-good men took her shine and more

Left her youth near Sausalito

Oh it's humourless and comical at once

Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust

Oh it's humourless, it's humourless

They look me over, one up and one down

I can tell they're wondering who my people are

I say I'm new in town

I know it's gonna take a while

Oh it's humourless and comical at once

Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust

Oh it's humourless, it's humourless

I speculate and browse the duraflameWinter in the west coast cool

Out by the sea where no one knows my name

I'm on the road like Jack Kerouac

Like Jack, Jack Kerouac





Sailboat

We're adrift on a sailboat

My love is the sea

Yours is the horizon

Constant and steady

You set my limbs locked hard afloat

Lifted my lonesome sails

The tide is out, the moon is high

We're sailing

Darling, your love is healing

It makes the bitter sweet

Warms the winter to spring again

Secures the colds defeat

We're cutting anchor

Casting out into the glorious deep


We're sailing

When we've succumb to decrepitude

Still our love will remain in its youth


We're sailing

We're sailing

We're sailing



Here’s to you

Cheers to the furrows on our brow

To each hard-won victory

Cheers to the losses that grew us up

Killed our pride, and filled our cup

Cheers to the friendships well worn in

That time nor distance alter

Here's to the sleepers we'll see again

Find company in memoria

Open your mouth and sing out your song

Life is short as the day is long

I can't leave you my body

But I'll leave you a tuneThis is my legacy

Cheers to you

Cheers to the passing of our youth

And the death of lust not one day

A toast to the lessons not yet learned

And to the trials that will teach them

Open your mouth and sing out your song

Life is short as the day is longI can't leave you my body

But I'll leave you a tune

This is my legacy

Cheers to you



Flags

Come, tell me your trouble

I'm not your answer

But I'm a listening ear

Reality has left you reeling

All facts and no feeling

No faith and all fear

I don't know why a good man will fall

While a wicked one stands

And our lives blow about

Like flags on the land

Who's at fault is not importantGood intentions lie dormant

And we're all to blame

While apathy acts like an ally

My enemy and I are one and the same

I don't know why the innocents fall

While the monsters still stand


Like flags on the land

I don't know why our words are so proud

Yet their promise soothing


Like flags in the wind

Oh oh oh oh

You who mourn will be comforted

You who hunger will hunger no moreAll the last shall be first

Of this I am sure

You who weep now will laugh again

All you lonely be lonely no more

Yes, the last will be first



Of this I'm sure

I don't know why the innocents fall

While the monsters stand

I don't know why the little ones thirst

But I know the last shall be first

I know the last shall be first

I know the last shall be first

The Day is Dimming

The day is dimming and I'm yearning for you

I won't be satisfied till I see your face

Every victory, every loss

Every tick and every cross

You can put them all in place

It seems I'm finding more of why

In these moments

I feel like I'm made to sing of how good you are

The more the years swell by and pass

Each seconds more than last

It's true by far

That no profound thought or clever rhyme

No soaring grand, melodic line

No theory, philosophy or sign

Can explain it

Can explain

Where you are, I wanna be

It's your love that has changed me

I'd give the world, and all it's charms

For a moment in your arms

Better is one day with you

Than a thousand elsewhere *

A thousand elsewhere....

I still remember what it felt like before you

I'm grateful every day for how things have changed

I'll thank you every way I can



'Cos my life only began

When I heard you call my name

Now, no praise of man

No great acclaim

No humble looking kind of fane

No power, wealth or worldly gain

Could satisfy me

Could every satisfy

['Cos] Where you are, I wanna be

It's your grace that has raised me

I'd give my whole life to honour you

In whom I live

In whom I move


Than a thousand elsewhere

Better is one day in your courts

Better is one day in your house

Better is one day in your courts

Than anywhere else oh

Lead me, lead me

Lead me to yourself

Lead me to your heart

Where you are, I wanna be

It's your love that has changed me

I'd give my life, to honour you

In whom I live

In whom I move


Than a thousand elsewhere

A thousand elsewhere....

Lead me to yourself

Lead me to your heart

I'll be found in you

I'll be found in you

Here is peace

Here is joy

Here is life



Here is freedom, freedom

In you alone
