Verse 1
Sitting here,
I wonder why to me you feel so cold
Are you just getting even
I can’t say, I understand you fickle roll
Or your strange set of reasons
I’m not a holy man,
And I’m not peaching out to you
But I just can’t stop breathing
Chorus
Hold on,
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to me babe
Verse 2
I never thought
you’d come back this way to meet again
You look good for the season
The only way that you would come to me
When your head its starts bleeding, but
Chorus
Hold on,
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to me babe
Now I am Home
Words & music by D. Canning © 2011
Verse 1
And after all the fools have sailed into the sun
I find myself believing
The persecute the innocent
and not the other ones
And leave the city’s bleeding
Bridge
The golden paths that cross
Of peoples dreams in paradise
Are caught between the flood of people
Not yet humanised
I‘m here to tell the world
The dream was full of compromise
And flushed into the sea
To complement our suicide
Chorus
Now I am home
The dreams of Paradise
Are broken in the sand
Now I am Home
The scares, the cost, I realise
Now I am Home
you can’t trust the lies
Verse 2
I stand upon the broken stage
of a small man greed
And ask my self the reason
The playful smiles of leading men
that robbed the world
And treat us all as heathen
The golden paths that cross
Of peoples dreams in paradise
Are caught between the flood of people
Not yet humanised
I‘m here to tell the world
The dream was full of compromise
And flushed into the sea
To complement our suicide
Chorus
Now I am home
The dreams of Paradise
Are broken in the sand
Now I am Home
The scares, the cost, I realise
Now I am Home
you can’t trust the lies
Brother Don’t Forget Your Way Home

Verse 1
Standing on the dock side
As I watch you sail away
I can’t see you face
but I hope you’ll be back this way
Bridge
O as the ocean takes you away
you’ll return this way
A promise you’ll have to pay
And we’ll share a drink
And talk about yesterday
O brother don’t forget your way home
Verse 2
I recall we had some times
In the back seat of my car
Me and Mary and you and Fitz
Staring up at the evening stars
Bridge
O as the ocean takes you away
you’ll return this way
A promise you’ll have to pay
And we’ll share a drink
And talk about yesterday
O brother don’t forget your way home
I’m Going Down
Words & music by D. Canning © 2013
Verse 1
I come to town on my last day
To pick up all my last months pay
And there ain’t nobody round
So I jump back in my pickup truck
And as my self, O what the fuck
It looks allot like I’m going down
O man I hate this pit
To come all this way to be treated like an idiot
I got to pull out to day
and find me another town
Or else I’m going down
Verse 2
I’m on the road for another hour,
The sky’s are blue and by the grace of god
I’ll be in another town
the road is long and dry for miles
Its not to much to wonder why
I’m driving my self so hard
But its not for me today
my family live rest upon
the collecting of my pay
And If I can’t make the line
The grace of god be damed
I’m going down
Love of my life
Words & music by D. Canning © 2013
Chorus
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
forever to live
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
The reason I live
Verse 1
I would sail the oceans and seas
If it would bring you back to me,
I would walk the rivers bare feet,
Or clime a mountain that was made of seed
Chorus
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
forever to live
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
The reason I live
Verse 2
I would crawl the deserts of sand
Just to get to hold your hand
I’d ride on wings made of love
to carry sun to your heart above
Chorus
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
forever to live
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
The reason I live
O Oh, your the reason
Chorus
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
forever to live
Your the light of my life
The reason I give
Your here in my heart
The reason I live
In The Face Of The Wind
Words & music by D. Canning © 2013
Verse 1
As we stood on the brink
The walls came down
I wait in the silence
No sight nor sound
There’s a man on the bridge
Trying to capture the sea
As we run to the edge
He’s just a memory
Bridge
I can see him now
as the wind blows through this place
In silence he’s watching me
with the pain written on his face
And I can understand
why he’s still holding on
Standing tall, In the face of the wind
Verse 2
So we stared at the sky,
To were it meets the land
I know that he coming,
I feel his gentle hand
So we run to the bridge
To carry us far away
A soft voice on the wind,
Tells me, its here I must stay
Bridge
I can see him now
as the wind blows through this place
In silence he’s watching me
with the pain written on his face
And I can understand
why he’s still holding on
Standing tall, In the face of the wind
Take Me Away
Words & music by D. Canning © 2013
Verse 1
I was wondering why you left
when your letter dropped on the floor
We’ve been here a thousand times
But I never though,
you could hurt so much
Now I’m looking out across the sea,
Where I thought I saw your face looking back at me,
Chorus
Won’t you take me away
My love Take me
Won’t you take me away, from this place,
Take me
Verse 2
Standing here at the top of the world
gazing down from the V
Its not the same my love,
In these southern hill
were we would hold so close
Now I’m looking out across the land
Tearing at my heart like a crazy man
Chorus
Won’t you take me away
My love Take me
Won’t you take me away, from this place,
Take me back to the V
Won’t you come to me, come to me,
You Turn Me On
Words & music by D. Canning © 2013
Verse 1
I never knew the call of the wild,
Till you pulled me away that day
Your only love was passion and stile
with somebody else to pay the way
Bridge
Standing tall,
Facing the sun
Starry eyed you come alive
Holding fast getting ready to run
Dreaming that you’ll survive
Chorus
You turn me on
Now , nothings gonna take you away
You turn me on,
I gonna love till the end of our days
Verse 2
Down town when you walk around,
People come to you and say
How lone will you be around
Ah only for the month of May
Bridge
Standing tall,
Facing the sun
Starry eyed you come alive
Holding fast getting ready to run
Dreaming that you’ll survive
Chorus
You turn me on
Now , nothings gonna take you away
You turn me on
I gonna love till the end of our days
Goodbye My Love

verse 1
If life has lost it’s value
And you’ve no place left to go
Your strung out on the kitchen floor
Hungry eyed
But you can’t take no more
Bridge
I see them old pictures, of you and I
Hanging on the bathroom door,
Time passing by so very fast
I wonder if you have any more
Chorus
Now your starry eyed,
Your lying there with starry eyes
Verse
No there ain’t no reason
Why I find you here again
Your self hate s got you bleeding, this time
or is it just carelessness
Bridge
I see them old pictures, of you and I
Hanging on the bathroom door,
Time passing by so very fast
I wonder if you have any more
Chorus
Now your starry eyed,
Your lying there with starry eyes
Bridge
I see them old pictures, of you and I
Hanging on the back of my door,
Time passing by for you
So very fast
I don’t think you have any more
Chorus
Now your starry eyed,
Your dying there with starry eyes

Verse 1
There was a time,
I’d have given the universe
We’d sail through the sky
And burn holes in the devils verse
As we stand in the sun
And cast shadows in the autumn breeze
Chorus
I will wait here until tomorrow,
I will wait here until the sorrow
I will wait till they bring the one to me,
Bring her to me
Verse 2
As I drift on the words
Soft spoken with a serpents seal
And glide over the songs
Forever singing neat the passing dreams
As we howl at the moon
and chant poems to the waking trees
Chorus

I will wait here until the sorrow
I will wait till they bring the one to me,
Bring her to me
Hey Sue

Verse 1
Suzie came home last night
About a quarter to three,
She weren’t dancing with me
Now I don’t know what’s going through
Lately I’ve been working hard
Coming home late at night
To a cold empty bed,
Maybe its something she hasn’t said
Pre Chorus
I remember the time when we laughed all day
it was just for fun
Now I remember as if it was just yesterday
Chorus
Hey sue, what yea going through
Hey Sue
Hey Sue, what yea going through

Talking to an answer phone

She been acting funny about her feelings inside
I didn’t knock it down to me not being there

I remember the time when we laughed all day

Now I remember as if it was just yesterday

Standing at a cross roads in the rain
Watching the world go by
I still recall the words you had to say
Even if , I don’t understand the reasons why
Bridge
For so long,
I’ve tried to love you the best I can
Its not the same
I feel like the other man
fighting for my heart

If you hold me,
You won’t stop the rains from falling
And I’ll still remember
If you hold me
You won’t stop the tears from falling
Forever and Ever
Verse 2
Another broken vase
it stains the kitchen floor
After another fight
The taxi cab is waiting at the door
Bridge
For so long
You’ve been in a different world
I’m reaching out
As time slips through my hand
its draging me under
Chorus
If you hold me,
You won’t stop the rains from falling
And I’ll still remember
If you hold me
You won’t stop the tears from falling
Forever and Ever
Solo
Chorus
If you hold me,
You won’t stop the rains from falling
And I’ll still remember
If you hold me
You won’t stop the tears from falling
