Mind's
Eye
(lyrics © Carus Thompson)
When I see you on the street you don't
turn the other way
But you say our worlds don't meet were different people
these days
But baby I can see you anytime if I try
I can see you laughing freely in my minds eye
Close my eyes and dream of you. Oh those were the days
I held an angel in my arms but I treated her so bad she
couldn't stay
Remember when we first met, how you made my days so new
Never knew life could be like this, just like the movies
But baby I deserved you, even if only for a while
I can see me telling the truth in my mind's eye
When I see you on the street, well you don't turn the
other way
But it's true our worlds don't meet, doing different things
these days
But baby I can see you anytime if I try
I can see you in love with me. In my minds eye
I can still see you

Thrown
(lyrics © Carus Thompson)
Wake up with a drip in my head
Watch your feet I fear to tread
Through my town, it's spinning around.
Something's changed it's pulling me down
Cold wind is in my face
Oh lord how I wish I could erase
This eclipse that has turned my world so dark
It's a loss that has cut me straight to my heart
Now I stand on the outside looking in
Hate to live. Hate to lie. Don't you let it begin
Hide away. On your own. Stay at home. Leave the world
alone
Something's changed my life is thrown
Light's the blur before my eyes
You fly through the trees, you flew so high
To a life that I loved, morning moon up above
Now it's time to say goodbye
I'm Thrown. I am Thrown. I'm Thrown

Wild
(lyrics © Carus Thompson)
This girl in Bondi she reminds me
of you
Makes my heart jump when she walks into the room
Takes my mind back to those dark, dark days
When I was on the brink, when I was crazy
To forgive myself I'll need forgiveness from you
But that's not coming through
You drove me wild. You drove me insane
You drove me wild. I'll never do that again
You drove me wild. You drove me insane
Something had to break
What makes a good man turn so bad?
You were the best thing that I've ever had
Kicked at your door. Smashed your window
How I lost my cool baby I'll never know
There's something about such intense young love
Taste's so sweet but so easily blow up
Now you're in Melbourne you'll never talk to me
Maybe make it up to you in my dreams
Feel the wind blow
Watch the world turn
Know that love burns
Oh babe I'd do it again
You took my breath away
I'm older today

Cry For You Bro
(lyrics © Carus Thompson)
When I came to see you that morning
you were already gone
When I came to see you bro, you left me standing out
in the cold
Why didn't you say goodbye? Why did you leave me like
this?
Standing all alone. I cried for you bro
Gonna miss you. Never gonna be a bro like you
But I've cried. I've cried for you
I've shed my tears for you bro

Let Me Down Slow
(lyrics © Carus Thompson)
Let me down slow, ease me down gently
Tell me your sweet little lies just one more time
'Cause I remember long nights in the cold
You swore a love like our would never grow old
No you're saying I should just leave town. Oh no
Sweet girl, Let me down slow
Cause girl you know I'm not the guy you need
And for our own sweet sakes we should just part company
But I remember long nights in the cold
You swore a love like ours could never grow
Now you're saying I should just piss off. Oh no
You're all I need. You're my fantasy
You're always in my dreams. You're my every thing
