WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
words & music by Grayson Hugh
I just want to see you down by the beach
where the reeds grow wild and tall
where the lonely roads have lost their reach
and the songs of thunder fall
there's a mist down by the rocks and sea
comes climbing up the pines
and the stars and ships are shining distantly
and it's so dark here on the borderline
And we keep ourselves free
and we keep ourselves free
and the moon is shining for you and me
that's what it's all about
that's what it's all about
Now we've come to the edge of the ocean
and the night goes on and on
and our lives like stones are breaking free
all our goodbyes
all our goodbyes they have gone
down to the ocean
and all our time apart has turned to leaves
down to the ocean
in a thousand unsung rains
going down to the ocean
and we go floating
we go floating on through the cypress trees
to the ocean
with the moonlight in our veins
And we keep ourselves free
and we keep ourselves free
and the moonlight is shining for you and me
that's what it's all about
that's what it's all about
I want you to play it
And this is the moment of our singing
this is the story that we hold
and this is the heartbeat that we come bringing
these are the things
all the things of young and old
down to the river
this is the sound of the future falling
down to the river
and the full moon it does not hide
going down to the river
and this is the rhythm of the wild river calling
to the river
as we go tumbling in the tide
And we keep ourselves free
yeah we keep ourselves so free
and the moonlight is shining for you and me
that's what it's all about
that's what it's all about
'cause we've always known each other
yeah, we've always known each other
and here we are again
just you and me in the darkness
and way far off all the boats are shining
and all the whales are dreaming for us baby
and the dolphins are wandering right here to the island where we are
just you and me, you and me, you and me together
that's what it's all about
what it's all about
