LYRICS

SOMEONE LIKE YOU - MELANIE HORSNELL 

Someone Like You 

Keep me warm 

Feel your breath in the morning 

Winter sun 

Someone like you 

Wild mind 

Wanted poster is on my sleeve 

Read the sign 

 

I've been run through the gauntlet of love 

I've been saddled with a restless heart 

I've been kneeling and I've been high 

I've been alive and I have almost died for love 

 

Someone like you 

You're a spark 

I'm the air that starts fires burning 

Light it up 

Someone like you 

Come around 

Bring your bags and make camp darling 

We'll make out 

 

I've been run through the gauntlet of love 

I've been saddled with a restless heart 

I've been kneeling and I've been high 

I've been alive and I have almost died for love 

 

Till you get here 

I will dream 

Shooting stars and hearts across skylines 

Look for me 

When you whisper 

Overseas 

May the winds blow soft words to me 

You be my rocker, I'll be your dancing queen 

 

I've been run through the gauntlet of love 

I've been saddled with a restless heart 

I've been kneeling and I've been high 

I've been alive and I have almost died 

I've been cornered and I've been free 

But your the only one who lets me be 

Let's get tangled under moonlit skys 

I wanna feel alive I wanna feel alive 

For love

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN - MELANIE HORSNELL

Oh mother, hear my prayer 

Listen in this lonely hour 

I'm putting words on paper 

Seeking reason, seeking rhyme 

 

It's cold here, the winters come 

We huddle into bed at night 

I light a candle, I say a prayer 

Give me something to believe in 

 

I hoped, I hoped very hard 

I've written poems, I've counted stars 

Ive lain in battle with open scars 

I'm feeling pain, it hurts so much 

 

The frost comes, it's diamond touch 

Freezes everything in sight 

I praise the beauty in this despair 

Give me something to believe in 

 

Oh holy holder of sacred hearts 

I know where you take me to 

Sometimes I'm brave, sometimes I'm not 

Can you please help me through? 

 

Dear earth beneath 

Dear rolling sea 

Dear blue sky up above 

Please help me to believe in love 

Give me something to believe in.

SUGAR AND WHITE MAN - MELANIE HORSNELL

Sugar and white man 

Flour and stolen 

Children and mothers 

Crying all night 

Before the bible 

There was The Dreaming 

It still keeps me believing 

Emu in the sky 

 

Verse: 

Begging for food 

Begging for land 

Begging for something 

We already had 

Build me a castle 

Of leftover things 

On the edge of the city 

We'll just try to live 

 

I lost my family 

My memory drowned 

In fear and in courage 

I hammered it down 

I'll sew it together 

From pieces I find 

On this trail worn with sorrow 

From bare feet and crying 

 

In my culture 

Children are laughing 

People are dancing 

Into the night 

We read the footprints 

We read the stars 

We know exactly 

Who we are. 

 

I want my language 

To sing to my child 

I want my stories 

To teach her at night 

I want my sisters 

To hold my hand 

We'll love one another 

'n together we'll stand

BLUE BUTTERFLY - MELANIE HORSNELL

I love my blue butterfly 
He walks the streets with me at night 
He speaks about the revolution 
Blue eyes brightly determined 

We find music in small corners 
Tattooed arms and graffitied words 
We stamp the pavement with umbrellas 
Gathering men to sing our chorus 

(Ly di dy di dy dy) 

I stop under street lights to kiss him 
But there's so much he needs to tell me 
The city that has just been broken 
Opens wounds that must be spoken 

So we greet the early morning people 
Who work to keep the streets clean 
We shout that there is always love 
A protest song above the traffic 

Ly di dy di dy dy) 

The key turns the door is open 
The cold wind blows in through the curtain 
Through the shutters hints of the sun 
Another day just begun 

But we the overtired soldiers 
Curl up softly into each other 
This war is softened with a whisper 
With gentle song it falls asleep 

(Ly di dy di dy dy)

FALLING - MELANIE HORSNELL

I can hear the words falling from my mouth 
Falling falling for you 
I can see the words falling from my mouth 
Falling falling for you 

If I fall asleep tonight 
outside your door 
Will you take me inside? 

If I call seven times tonight 
will you answer 
every time? 

Painted questions 
Coloured stones 
Look what I found 
A love full grown 

Sleep inside my caravan 
Let's watch skies 
go round again 

I can hear the words falling from my mouth 
Falling falling for you 
I can see the words falling from my mouth 
Falling falling for you
