Photographs 03:01
This is what we do Another day rolling Out into the vast, the miles they are piling The scenery past is a backdrop for this love The windows are down The sun it is shining But not like we do, not like we do We're telling stories and creating new ones too. Every step of the way we are living, nothing is to lose All of the photographs that we take are fragments of the truth Yeah, we're way out, standing on mountains For a few extra miles sitting next to you Laugh 'til we die, the music is cranked and we're high Every step of the way we are living, nothing is to lose All of the photographs that we take are fragments of the truth And after it's over, we'll have to remember These photographs won't be the same as being here with you

Gold Field 03:17
Say hello to the ocean for me I am missing home, the salt air on my skin I send my love across a gold field It's really life this time, it's really love, it's really everything We've been dreaming it'd be like All you had to do was go Trust the whispering inside your heart The players they fall into place The band begins to play for you I send my love across a gold field It's really life this time, it's really love, it's really everything We've been dreaming it'd be like When you trust your heart you can go anywhere
3.
Sunrise, fill my day up with light Enter my heart through a doorway I open just for you Soak me through Explore, so many steps unknown But we are traveling souls and we capture the enchantment Through the eyes the skin the heart Would you write me a love song? Put it in my pocket for me One day when I'm lost, unfold it and I will be Reminded to love, I carry love, inspired to love I carry love from you Just breathe, imagine the highest tree It is a wonder, a joy just to be alive and reaching skyward, skyward What do you believe? Mirrors reflecting what's inside You've got to love a little more We've got to love a little more Boundaries are meant to be pushed Ceilings, they are for dwelling for lifting Higher with each dreamer dreaming
4.
Black Steps 03:20
My love I guess we recognized what We tripped onto Not fools gold This is the real stuff Blow the cobwebs off Give it light and water Watch it grow The black steps Who knows where the foot goes? Trust the ground to meet the feet The time to pass The wind to blow They won't believe us They won't see magic here But we can't forget We cannot let them take the dream from us An open heart and withered hands On a road that has no map Trust the signs, trust the end The black steps will take you there
5.
Outback 03:30
You go out and out and out You can't imagine going out anymore You think what's here? what's here? But there's more, there's more Take a close look, take it in See yourself in bigger spaces Big heart, red soil Good life is simple Brave the heat, praise the rain Know the land and watch the days go by It grows, it grows on you In unexpected ways The skyline is your compass The birds, the sounds, the birds Become the soundtrack of your day
6.
The Chicken 03:08
You're the apple of my eye I knew it from the get go Constellations have aligned For you and I to be right here now Sometimes life knocks at the door You jump out the window This time I won't be far I won't be going far I'm not a chicken, I'm the chicken And I'm struttin' all my stuff for you I'm not a chicken, I'm the chicken I"m too shy to tell you I love you I'll plug into your channel The vibrancy is on it's clear Kicking up the dust with boots Dancing under full moons And dive into the crisp water on a sunny afternoon Watching the sun go down Kicking up the dust with boots Dancing under full moons Feeling so alive with you

Leopardwood 03:49
Leopardwood I have come back to you You have something to show me Something to reveal I know is that it better be good I left my lover all strung out Left him by the tracks My whole heart is heavy I wonder how much drought it takes Before you come up dry and say I can't do this anymore There must be a grace in waiting For drops of what you once wade in Millions of years without Without He sat with me until the end They said, this train's about to leave Ticket holders only please My heart broke loose as the tears leapt out There was no strength inside of me Was no foot-holding Broken banks along the river I suppose I'll get used to living without him I suppose I'll get used to living
8.
Send it Away 03:34
Put my heart-break in a box Tie a bow and send it off But there's no post office here I'll find a bottle and fill it full Put the cap on and throw it in the water But the tide keeps on bringing it back into me I wanna get rid of it This sinking pit in my stomach I wanna send it away But no-one wants it so it stays We stare at each other A contest to survive the wait I want to calm the sea But it's built up swell and needs to roll itself out Mice are climbing in the walls I pray that they'll move along But no, they're nesting. A home they're building If there wasn't heart-break here to feel Then there wouldn't be love Stare through it's windows Peer at what it would be like And one day it will pass One day it will pass
9.
Endlessly 01:50
I am the season that grows I'm the love that turns the seed to soil An empty canvas for you to paint I endlessly wait inside your world And I keep going And I keep going I am the leopardwood tree that survived centuries And I keep going And I keep going Endlessly
10.
Top Shelf 03:43
Scaffold to the sky of your heart A rainbow I climb to the top where you are You, you are the ceiling of What dreamers imagine love to be like You are the top shelf up With the magic parts of a good life We're painters, coloring the scenery gold We're lovers, dancing in a private world Point the way up to where you are I will do my best to get there What I wouldn't give just to be close Have you wrap your world around me
11.
Sister let's just brighten up The sky we are running across Re-tie your red shoelaces And lets do this Like we do paint with sunlight Like we do capture what is in the seat In the heart but what we share Is the very best part of being here Everywhere we leave a mark Scatter light across the parts All suns they are just Bright stars in the making
