Max’s Suitcase
Catalogue #550 – Words & Music Copyright © 2010 Mark Hilton
Walkin’ by the river
lookin’ at the fish
tryin’ to imagine
time to make a move
before the flowers bloom
You’re anticipatin’
good things ahead
hard work is over
now you can collect
all your bits and pieces
Put ‘em in a suitcase
throw it in the boot
and drive up the ranges
chasin’ the sun and the clouds
like there’s no tomorrow
Layin’ on a hillside
underneath the stars
listen to the wind
movin’ through the trees
dancin’ with the leaves
Readin’ by a candle
flicker in the light
now you’re getting’ sleepy
and you wander through a dream
about places where you’ve never been
In a waterfall
no one ‘round for miles
when the day stands still
you remember
Babble like a brook
tumble in the grass
run down the gully
after bits of broken glass
lookin’ for treasure
shiny little stones
bottle tops and shells
that shimmer in the sun
like tiny little fish on the run
