Yellow Moon
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
Walked into AWOL just today
Should’ve seen it coming miles away
Would you believe it, I survived
Never felt more alive in my life
Oh yellow moon,
I am standing so far from you
But I feel your golden fingers
Touching my face through this cold winter gloom
Oh yellow moon,
What’s a wild and wily woman to do
When her head is churning but her body’s burning
With a love she’s keeping for you?
Oh this light in all this winter fog
Is so beautiful....
Oh yellow moon,
Why the hell am I so goddamn confused?
Oh my love is like a fog
Wasting away on you
Oh yellow moon
What’s a wild and a wily woman to do
When her head is churning and her body’s burning
With a love she’s keeping for you?

Sorrow Tree I
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
I was born on the edges of hope
Caught asunder by the devil know, you
And I rode with the dust cloud into your town
Big dark ribbons of your past are hanging ‘round
But you made this blood
And it burns through my veins
Burns through these remains....

L’il Star
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
When the sirens
Sirens call me back to the white squall
I’ll go find my way back to the water
Crawling out of the blue
Crawling l’il star,
I want you
Crawling out of the blue
Crawling l’il star
I want you
I’m the keeper
Dancing with lust on the wing of your fabled song
And our bodies bend underneath the water
Crawling out of the blue
Crawling l’il star,
I want you
Crawling out of the blue
Crawling l’il star
I want you
And the sea will swallow
I want you
And the sea will swallow us

Sorrow Tree II
Lyrics By Joni Hogan
Everybody’s got a different story
Painted with their own guts and their own glory
I try to beat those demons as they rise
Ash and smoke like ghosts curling free from the coal’s eye
But you made this blood
And it burns through my veins
Burns through these remains

Woman On Fire
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
Turned your secrets to stones
And threw them on into the river
Sink down, never be seen again
Hope that no-one dives down to the bottom
reaches out and brings them on up to the surface
Oh lie
I’m a woman on fire
Come into my arms
I’m a woman on fire
Jesus told me to wait
So I went out and got laid
How I love to crush the good girl inside of me
And how is it strange freedom awaits
for the wild ones to break free and run?
Oh lie
I’m a woman on fire
Come into my arms
I’m a woman on fire
Don’t you dare tell me
That god only knows what’ll happen to us
You’d never tell me and i’ll never know
So if god only knows, then god only knows
Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar
Can you scream louder than this?
(Liar, Liar, you stood up on my body babe, don’t you forget)
Oh how I hoped our love would not know
That forever is a shackle to a stake in the past
‘Cause your secret life whips at my hide
With the force of a storm battered tide
Oh Life,
I’m a woman on fire,
gonna burn and burn
Into my arms
Oh life....
You Liar, you liar,
You stood up on my body
But i’m never gonna break

Dove Song
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
It’s a long way back
Up the hill to the house by the track
And the seeds are curling down into the mud
And I lay down and sob with the wild oats towering above
‘cause you told them all that i’m the liar
And the trees bend down to wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is a song singing truth that’ll set me free
The trees bend down, wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is what you did to me...
And I walk on alone
Fill my pockets with riverbed stones
Where the reeds are reaching out to touch the sky
And you never cared to see when the wild woman danced in me
And you told them all that I’m the liar
And the trees bend down to wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is a song singing truth that’ll set me free
The trees bend down, wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is what you did to me
Oh, have a look....
Come home heart
Touching clouds with your dirt-stained glove
A box of leaves and spinifex buried in the mud
And you never cared to see when the wild woman danced in me
And you told them all that I’m the liar

Sorrow Tree III
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
You went and lit fires with my name
It’s going to feed our lives, feed us
Down where the sorrow trees,
They grow,
Into joyous old oaks
Into joyous old oaks
Down where the sorrow trees,
They grow,
Into joyous old oaks

This Love
Lyrics by Joni Hogan
This love river flows
Deep, dark indigo
Touches like a ghost
This love tastes like the wind
Cerulean sinking in
Oh how I dreamed of him
Oh and this love it bleeds in circles
Out of my chest into the night
And I’m a hundred different purples
Violet streaming from eyes
As we look up, our gaze will tangle
We’re making love in our common sky
If I could push aside the desert
And the sea between you and I,
This road between you and I,
I would...
I’m longing for your love here
(Longing for your love)
Oh I’m longing for your love here
Oh you, oh the batten down love
Oh I’m longing for your love here
This love lives in trees
Tossing down the falling leaves
As you pass underneath
And this love sounds like a rock
Hitting water as it drops
A cool hand, oh this love...
Oh and this love it bleeds in circles
Out of my chest into the night
And i’m a hundred different purples,
Violet streaming from my eyes
As we look up our gaze will tangle
We’re making love in our common sky
If I could push aside the desert
And the sea between you and I,
This road between you and I,
I would...
I’m longing for your love here
(Longing for your love)
Oh I’m longing for your love here
Oh you, oh the batten down love
Oh I’m longing for your love here
