Dark Shades Of Blue

Xavier Rudd Dark Shades Of Blue Lyrics
1.Black Water


2.Dark Shades Of Blue

So here we go
Here it comes again
The present time time, it's so mysterious
I'm facing south
From the northern hemisphere
The southern cross
For now has disappeared

I place it inside my brain
And shield it with everything
I see it come into you
You paint dark shades of blue

Here I go
Just me and my old mind
At times removed
Upcoming up inside
What present sends
Is so mysterious
It's mine to fight
Come spirit come defend

I place it inside my brain
And shield it with everything
I see it come into you
You paint dark shades of blue


3.Secrects

All the people seeking truth and change worldwide
coming up slowly

And many of them seem to be opening their eyes
coming up slowly

Centuries of twisted truths and lies
coming up slowly

Many people, many places sick and tired
coming up slowly

Hey Mr, you see, I've seen this before
and I don't believe you this time
You see I've opened my eyes

You're keeping secrets from me
You're keeping secrets from me
You're keeping secrets each day
You're keeping secrets to keep you satisfied, satisfied

Many people on a mission to unite
We're coming up slowly

Many people spreading message far and wide
coming up slowly

And every message has a universal tide
coming up slowly

Every message for the fate on the unborn child
coming up slowly

Hey Mr, you see, I've seen this before
and I don't believe you this time
You see I've opened my eyes

You're keeping secrets from me
You're keeping secrets from me
You're keeping secrets each day
You're keeping secrets to keep you satisfied, satisfied

Many people on a mission to unite
coming up slowly

Many people spreading message far and wide
coming up slowly

And every message has a universal tide
coming up slowly

Every message for the fate on the unborn child
coming up slowly

Hey Sen~or, you see, I've seen this before
and I don't believe you this time
You see I've opened my eyes

You're keeping secrets from me
You're keeping secrets from me
You're keeping secrets each day
You're keeping secrets to keep you satisfied, satisfied

Lyricist:Xavier Rudd

Well, I'll hold you up again
And I'll hold you up again
Hold you up again
I'll hold you up again

I'll hold you up again
And I'll hold you up again
You fought and you won
Now my brother, you're gone
You fought and you won
Now my brother, you're gone

Well, you fought and you won
Now my brother, you're gone
Well, you fought and you won
Now my brother, you're gone

I'll hold you up again
Yeah, I'll hold you up again
You were your country
Deadliest, I've seen

And I feel it many times
When I shut these eyes
And I feel you many times
When I shut these eyes
Well, I'll hold you up again
And I'll hold you up again


5.Edge Of The Moon

Lyricist:Xavier Rudd

Everybody take the hands of the ones you choose
And everybody lead them to a place that appeals to you
Hold it up closer to your heart so to spread your potion
Everybody join up as one and together we'll grow
Everybody

Here we go to the edge of the moon
We are blinded for now by the goodness of groove
We are dancin' and we're singin' with the light of the moon
We are blinded for now by the goodness of groove

If you comin' here with love or bounce in your feet
Then here and now would be a good place to meet
Someone from a place that appeals to you
And together we can share all the goodness of groove

Everybody take the hands of the ones you choose
And everybody lead them to a place that appeals to you
Hold them up closer to your heart so to spread your potion
Everybody join up as one and together we'll grow
Everybody

Here we go to the edge of the moon
We are blinded for now by the goodness of groove
We are dancin' and we're singin' with the light of the moon
We are blinded for now by the goodness of groove

And if you comin' here with love or bounce in your feet
Then here and now would be a good place to meet
Someone from a place that appeals to you
And together we can share all the goodness of groove

Here we have what we hold
Good spirit to cleanse our good souls
No care for travels or hells
No place for status or wealth

Here we have what we need
Cleanse our souls to keep us free
So take the hands of a friend
And together we can sing

Everybody take the hands of the ones you choose
Everybody lead them to a place that appeals to you
Hold them up closer to your heart so to spread your potion
Everybody join up as one and together we'll grow
Everybody

Here we go to the edge of the moon
We are blinded for now by the goodness of groove
We are dancin' and singin' with the light of the moon
We are blinded for now by the goodness of groove

If you're comin' here with love or bounce in your feet
Then here and now would be a good place to meet
Someone from a place that appeals to you
And together we can share all the goodness of groove


6.This World As We Know It

Hold you out
This is how they do it

You scream and shout
often time I'll notice

Rise and fall
powerful deceivers

Bring down
This world as we know it

My feeling in my heart
cause I'm inside it, inside

I was getting too high
I've seen it all

Seasons change
is happening all over

Reaarranging of
governments much noble

The air they speak
strait from the creator

For centuries now
the message in a beam of wealth

My feeling in my heart
cause I'm inside it, inside

I was getting too high

I've seen
I've seen it all

(Chant)

Hold you out
this is how they do it

While you scream and shout
often times I'll notice

Rise and fall
powerful deceivers

Bring them down
This world as we know it


7.Shiver

coming up strong, beyond comprehension
i'm feeling it again, the shiver through my system
can push it all away, change my opinions
coming too strong, a door needs to open
came through her again, from a sister bearing message
directed inside, deep within the chambers

i'm feeling it again, the shiver through my system
coming up strong, beyond comprehension
the wind, brings changes in direction
of leaves and seeds and journeys of souls
so much of lives spent running away from moments
but the right moments they catch you in the end

he's been climbing now for years before his time
searching around
searching high and low for support of some kind
feeling alone
feeling lonely on his quest for reasons why
pushing him down
seeking reasons for the rage that he was dealt
where they now?
who are the people that have shared his higher self?
the higher he goes
the more he questions all the punches that were thrown
pushing him down
to the fragile place he feels and knows so well
spinning around
in the fragile place he feels and knows so well

he is climbing up the mountain
and searching for the other side
seeking shelter from the rain
and the from pain he feels inside
he sees that now it's time to move on
time to let the ropes come loose
see your father is too cold
and he may never let you through
and the anger and resentment
will only churn you up inside
but you are on another level
and they will only deny
and you will see it in your young hearts
as they give you what they know
and it will always come around
but it is time
to let it go
let it go
let it go
oh, let it go

coming up strong, beyond comprehension

9.Up In Flames


10.Hope That You'll Stay

Lyricist:Xavier Rudd

Sun floatin' up
Slippin' back down
Conjunction with the moon
And light from the ground

Fire, it burns
Rain, it cools
I hope that you'll stay
I hope that you'll stay

Pulse to pulse
All of these years
Reflections on your face
The taste of your tears

Centuries gone
For the spirits you'll face
I hope that you'll stay
I hope that you'll stay

Children grow up
Elders grow down
Watch them fly high
And crash to the ground

And help them move on
Welcome them home
And hope that they'll stay
And hope that they'll stay

I hope that you'll stay
I hope that you'll stay
You see, I hope that you'll stay

I hope that you'll stay
You see, I hope that you'll stay
I hope that you'll stay


11.Home

Lyricist:Xavier Rudd

Streets full of people with trinkets to share
Offerin' them up for the folks in despair
Yandi and crystals and oils for growth
Of spirit and body and mind as we go

Emphasis placed on the body and mind
As the heart is often somewhere behind
Strange

Tiny little bones of the innocent child
Lookin' up at me with the saddest of eyes
Is her innocence in tact? Or has it been stained?
Has the creature that feeds her taken it away
Strange, so sad it's strange

I recognize my health
Things that I have been dealt
Places that I have roamed
Feelin's I've had and things that I know

Home, I'm home
Home, I'm home, home, home, home
Home, I'm home

Runnin' through the bush and all of the trees
Movin' in time with my capable speed
Skippy ants claw at the edge of the bowl
Of the shell of an egg, of bird long since gone
Maybe it rose up to spread it's new wings
Or maybe it nourished a stronger siblin'
Strange

Places we roam and people we meet
Some connections are strong
And some of them are weak
1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or maybe 5 or 6 or more

Strong as the roots of a big old gum tree
And we'll carry them through
To the next life we see, strange
So beautifully strange

Recognize my health
Things that I have been dealt
Places that I have roamed
Feelin's I've had, things that I know

Home, I'm home
Home, I'm home, home, home, home
Home, I'm home
