about

Even the most doleful and earnest lyricist must surely turn to bouyant optimism at some stage? Well, almost, anyway. At least happy enough to brush away the falling tear and not carp on about something or other.

lyrics

TEARBRUSH TREE

Keep on walking while the sun is shining
Hills a-shimmer in the summer heat
Clouds are fleeting, a woman's smiling
Rare these days, these times of need
And I feel a surge of warmness for my world
A certain sense of reason to be here
Surety of purpose, cast aside the worthless
As I walk I'll brush away the falling tear
And this world is mine, everything is fine
As I walk I'll brush away my falling tear
Brush away my falling tear
Brush away my falling tear

Keep on laughing as the day is passing
Scents are hanging from the eucalypts
Wedge-tail soaring, a shadow casting
On distant fields the farmer ripped
And I see there's still some gladness in my world
Battered, tired and worn out, but still here
There remains a purpose, far below the surface
As I walk I'll brush away my falling tear
And this world is mine, everything is fine
As I walk I'll brush away my falling tear
Brush away my falling tear
Brush away my falling tear
Brush away my falling tear
