Green to me
03:50

|
v1
I see you sitting there, in that same familiar chair;
And I don't think it's Ok, but it's just another day.
v2
What are you listening to, could it be you're listening to,
The colour of your dreams, but it's just a blur to me.
v3
What are you thinking of, yes you know you realise,
That it's not as it appears, but it's only green to me
v4
But can you say to me, in that same familiar tone?
That it's plain to me as day, seems to always come out green.

Late

v1
It appears to be quite normal
To let the music play
You seem to have a problem
v2
There's something you must tell me
About me being here
It's very plain to see
ch
It's late, it's late
It really is quite late
I know there's nothing I can do now
v3
Is there no turning back now
The path is not so worn
There seems to be a problem
v4
The things that you have shown me
Expose another world
There seems to be a problem

Tell me (x2)

Tell me something I want to hear (tell me, tell me)
Tell me something straight from your heart (tell me, tell me)
ch
Come on, in for a swim
Come on, the weather's fine
Come on, in for a swim today
Tell me, tell me
v2
Tell me now before I go away (tell me, tell me)
Tell me now before it's too late (tell me, tell me)

Tell me (x8)

Music orange
09:41
|
|||
|
v1
There's something in the air I feel
Something that is not quite real
(I'm) thinking of a time that's lost
ch
Living in a dream I think
Music orange, green and pink
How I wish that I could be
Floating through a purple sea, with you...
v2
Acid dreams and cosmic scenes
Tripping over moonlight beams
This is what I'm thinking of
v3
People tell me I am lost
So are they but at what cost
Living in a time that's lost

Paradise

Paradise, is where I want to be

Autumn leaves;
on the ground beneath my feet
And the grass;
on the ground beneath my feet
Paradise (x6)

Russia

v1
So you say you've gone to live in Russia
All the way and back again to Russia in Russia
Have you seen the rivers flow in Russia?
Have you seen the stately homes of Russia?

Oh, Russia, take me away
Oh, Russia, take me away
v2
Say you're going to spend some time in Russia
Living with the people known as Russians

She could swim
03:07
|
|||
|
v1
She said, she could swim almost anywhere
She said, she could swim through an ocean
She said, she could sing like a nightingale
She said, it was nothing
ch
She said, she could swim
I know it's no whim
She could swim I know
v2
She asked, if I could tell her where she has been
She asked, if I could tell her the time of day
Though she didn't tell me whether she had gone
She said, not to worry

Only a dream
01:51
|
|||
|
v1
Sometimes I feel, life is only a dream
And I know, one day soon it will end
v2
Sometimes I see, in the darkness, a light
At the end of a time-darkened cave.
ch
Hey, how do you feel about the life you lead?
And, what do you think about the world you see?
Life is only a dream.
v3
And though you cry, in the morning twilight
Dry your tears on the sands of your dreams.

The Letter
02:49
|
|||
|
v1
I got your letter this morning,
Read it five times through
I rang you on the telephone,
It's nice to hear you.
v2
Did a couple more paintings,
And nothing's true.
I can't wait 'til I see you,
It's nice to see you.
ch
When I think of all the things you say,
Hurry up, slow down, you're in my way.
----
Going 'round you don't know when to stop
You talk all night, you're there but then you're not.
v3
Now it's one month later.
Got another note,
Sitting watching TV,
It's boring without you.
m8
Hurry up (x8)

C'est la vie
02:34
|
|||
|
v1
Time we know, never stands still
And our time is flowing by
The clock ticks further, waves of time
Is it real or is it in our minds?
v2
As I watch the dates go by
they're taking you away from me
Whether I'd have known it
It doesn't seem to matter anymore
v3
While the sun is going down
We look back to our better days
While the sun is going down
Living now is all that I can do
|
||||

That night
03:53
|
|||
|
v1
The look in your eyes, the night that you left me
Looks cold as ice, daggers right through me
How could you leave me, there on your doorstep?
You left without warning, at a quarter to nine.
v2
That night was so silent, like a warm Sunday morning
You were so careful, like walking a tightrope
You were so thoughtful, as I started crying
Love that has fleeted, at a quarter to nice
m8
All I know, is what you tell me
All I see, is what I'm shown
All I know, is what you tell me
All I see, is what I'm shown
bridge
How could you leave me, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
What did I know? (x2)

Eldrad must live Adelaide, Australia
I bought my first guitar from Carlton Longhurst. As far as I can remember I paid him $7.50 - it was 1982/83. It was a
three-quarter sized classical and I loved it.
I formed a band with old friend Stephen Orr, our first band was Nimrod's Kat.
After this I played with Paradox, then with Pogo in two incarnations.
Playing again now with Steve Orr every now and then.
