Story Behind The Song
Sitting outside one gorgeous night in the Rainforest of Byron Bay the wind passed by high above the tree tops making great sweeping swooshy sounds. Looking up at the stars I had never seen a sky so dark, and stars so bright...one of the awesome wonders of living in Australia, far away from any lights! The simplicity and beauty of feeling so small amongst the stars and the trees made me so happy that tears came to my eyes...after that it was easy, and this simple lullaby just flowed from the guitar and a fat r&b beat...with tears of joy!
Song Description
This song is about feeling a sense of wonder at simple and beautiful things in life...the wind on a starry night, or the innocent eyes of a child, and the tears that can come to your eyes with such a sweet and gentle joy.

Lyrics
(it was always here...)
There?s a high wind on a starry night
tears of joy
a child?s eyes in a lullaby
tears of joy
beauty is ablaze
like the sun
I know my journey home
has now begun
such a revelation
it was always here
I?m in the presence
of the beloved one
tears of joy
you bring me tears, tears of joy
beauty is ablaze
like the sun
I know my journey home
has now begun
such a revelation
it was always here
I?m in the presence
of the beloved one
a bird song in the fading light
tears of joy
crescent of a moon kiss the mountain top
you bring me tears of joy
beauty is ablaze
like the sun
I know my journey home
has now begun
such a revelation
it was always here
I?m in the presence
of the beloved one
you bring me tears of joy
