My Pocket
04:29

I’ve got a hole in the lining of my pocket
I’ve got a heart so heavy, I think that I might drop it
Got your voice still ringing in my ears
I keep no photos inside my empty wallet
I’ve got a thunder in my belly, so loud and I can’t stop it
Got your touch on my fingertips
When I wake up in the morning
I wish that I could call you
I leave my washing on the line when it’s storming
I leave my keys in the door when I leave without warning
I’ve got your smile in the front of my mind
When I wake up in the morning
I think that I might call you
When I wake up in the morning
I think that I should call you
When I wake up in the morning
You’d be the first to notice if my clothes need repairing
My heart needs some love and caring
Since you’ve been gone I am lost and there’s holes everywhere
My keys, my coins, my matches and twine
Can be oh so hard to find
Without you I know that I
Must sew up that hole in my own good time
I’ve got a hole in the lining of my pocket
I’ve got a heart so heavy, I think that I might drop it
Got your voice still ringing in my ears
When I wake up in the morning
I think that I might call you
When I wake up in the morning
I think that I should call you
When I wake up in the morning
I wish that I should call you
Cos I miss you like the breeze
Or the sweet rain that’s falling
When I wake up in the morning
I forget that I can’t call you
Cos you’re gone
When I wake up in the morning
When I wake up in the morning
I’ve got a hole in the lining of my pocket
I’ve got a heart so heavy, I think that I might drop it
Got your voice still ringing in my ears

Let You In
04:35
|

As I’m soaring through the sky
The fields are laid out
Like a patchwork quilt
That your nanna would make
When times were simpler
When times were simpler
I am learning how to walk
Learning how to see
Learning a language
That I used to speak
Back when the days were long
Under the Middle Eastern sun
I know the words are there
Buried in my mind
There is an open door, to let you in
And when you’re open to the world, you’ll be let in
Strange familiar melodies
Are tickling my ears
Salt water sooths my skin
As I’m reminded here
Life could be simpler
Life could be simpler
Suddenly I see
Suddenly I hear
Suddenly I recall the words I held dear
I watch the colour
Drain into my world and realise I’m whole
Seen it through painter’s eyes
Now I am ready to come home
There is an open door, to let you in
And when you’re open to the world you’ll be let in
Now I’m back in my hometown
I’m wandering the streets
Rediscovering the things
That make my heart beat
There is an open door, to let you in
And when you’re open to the world, you’ll be let in

Look Up
03:06
|
|||
You’ve been looking backwards
On the things you wish you’d done
I’ve been looking to the future
Planning out all my fun
We’ve both been looking sideways
Staring at the ground
Everyone’s looking through me
Like inside they can be found
If you don’t know if your efforts are enough
I only know it’s best to look up
Day is breaking lovely one
It’s time to wake up
The coffee’s strong, I know days are long
But they can’t topple us
It felt like a new beginning
A new haircut and new jeans
I sat in that friendly café
Alone and happy
If one thing left in life matters to us
I only know it’s best to look up
And like those little ants
I just keep marching on
Going ‘bout my business
Smiling along
And when we were together
I showed you to look up
Now that we’re apart I hope you haven’t given up
If one thing left in life matters to us
I only know it’s best to look up

Light, It Shines
05:23
|

So big the world, so much distance
The friends you have made so far away
Everyone said come back
And so you have come back
After so long away
And it’s strange
Now there’s no light at the end of the tunnel
I know that’s how it seems
And you’re just waiting for real life
And you’re just waiting to be let in
And there’s pain
So pick up your head
It will be ok
Sister don’t you
Talk that way
Cos your eyes they see
All the light, it shines
Even though it gets hidden sometimes
How do we sit there and watch you struggle?
How do we give when we can’t give enough?
Nobody wants to see their loved-one in trouble
Sometimes it feels like we’ve all given up
And there’s shame
So pick up your head
It will be ok
Sister don’t you
Talk that way
Cos your eyes they see
All the light, it shines
Even though it gets hidden sometimes

Seed in the Wind
03:39
|

I’m sending you off on your way
To rewrite your story today
There’s not a moment to waste
It’s a new dawn, a shining new day
Throw all your worries away
Like they’re just loose change
You don’t know it but you are brave
So shake of the dust and raise
I nearly crash my car
Loose my heart
Find it back with you again
Put my head in a jar
When I go too far
I’m a seed in the wind
I’m sending you off on your way
To find light in the things that you say
Big universe, you are strange
I’m getting closer yet further each day
Closer yet further each day
Closer yet further each day
I nearly crash my car
Loose my heart
Find it back with you again
Put my head in a jar
When I go too far
I’m a seed in the wind

In Dreams

Little Wise Melbourne, Australia
Little Wise makes music for the drifters and the dreamers. Brimming with melodic hooks and a piercing, heart-on-sleeve lyricism, she conjures a magnetic collision of vintage Americana and modern folk-rock. “Little Wise sings with the wisdom of an old soul” (triple j). ... more
