You are the sunshine melting the snow,
You water the seed,
You give what it needs,
The leaves’ll grow,
So give me the sunshine.

High on a hillside you are the breeze,
I used to be small but then I grew tall,
I turned into a tree,
So give me a hillside.

Oh your love has fed the root,
made my blossoms turn to fruit,
Now the days are cold,
The wind begins to blow.

Yeah your love has fed the root,
from my branches fell the fruit,
Now the days are cold,
The wind begins to blow,
Yeah the sun's getting low.

You are the sun,
You are breeze,
I used to be small,
But now I'm a tree.

Honey, times have changed,
We've both been trying,
But it’s time to move on.

The good times, they're not the same,
Maybe baby those good times,
Have been and gone?

In the good old days when life was easy,
We'd be making music all night long,
But honey, times have changed.

In the good old days when life was easy,
In the good old days when we were young,
Waking in the morning, bright ‘n breezy,
We'd be making sweet sweet music,
All night long.

Honey, times have changed.

Oh, hear those songbirds singing at the start of the day,
Yeah I woke up early I was on my way,
Red hot sun in a big blue sky,
I was gonna start running,
But it was quicker to fly.

Over the mountain down to the vale,
Out to the coast, get a boat, set sail,
All I want to do is get back and break bread,
I've been missing my lover,
I've been missing my sweet, sweet bed.

I'm trying to get back home,
Before the sun goes down.

Oh I can't slow down, my feet won't rest,
I'm weak I'm weary but I couldn't care less,
Got a song in my soul, got a skip in my step,
My heartbeat’s racing the closer I get.

I've been gone so long but now I gotta get back,
Just one more trail yeah, one more track,
For ten long years been skipping like a stone,
But now this old man’ll be rolling,
Rolling home.

I'm trying to get back home,
Before the sun goes down.

I'm getting tired of trying to take things slow,
Kicking back ‘n waiting for the wind to blow,
For way too long just gone with the flow,
But those days are done, so get up, let’s go.

I'm getting tired of all the talking,
Been getting less of the yes than no,
Reckon I'm ready for the real thing,
All I gotta do is get up and go.

I've got one hand on the wheel,
The whole world is passing' by,
I've got one hand on the wheel,
Got a big blue sky,
I've got one hand on the wheel,
The sun is getting low,
I've got one hand on the wheel,
I'm gonna roll real slow.

Cos it’s a long, long road, we've got time,
Yeah it’s a long, long road, so we’ve got time.

Written words on photographs scattered all around and over the floor,
Coffee coloured eyes stare back saying no need to go there anymore,
Hope you’d have figured out by now, what you want,
Had a chat with an ethnograph, said I don't want you to lie anymore,

Pen inscriptions in paperbacks written by a hand that’s certainly sure,
Hope you’d have figured out by now, what you want,
Can't take a sincere path in life without hurt,
Said I wouldn't return but lately I, ‘bout to go round a second time,

See off into the dark and circles say, gotta make up your mind,

Oh I just thought I would say, have you tried to play a different way?
Oh coz you might find, yeah it helps to make up your mind,
Oh I thought I would say, have you tried to play a different way?
Oh yeah this time, this time, yeah I gotta make, yeah I gotta make, up my mind.

Times you took my hand and filled the space between,
Times you understand and taught me what it means,
To be alone, to be alone, to be alone I dream to be alone,
To be alone, to be alone, to be alone I dream to be alone,

It’s not complicated, it should have faded long ago,
Times you took my hand and filled the space between,
Times you understand and taught me what it means
To be alone (it’s not complicated),
To be alone (it should have faded),
To be alone, I dream to be alone.
