about

Written and inspired by our years in the Whitsundays, particularly Lindeman Island, pictured on the cover artwork.

lyrics

Your lips they tasted of the sea
© music & Lyrics by Tony King 1993

Your lips they tasted of the sea
On that Whitsundays night that you gave yourself to me
And the wind in the palm was like a choir breathing in before a Psalm
a choir breathing in before a Psalm
I gave myself to you under the poyntsiana tree
And Your lips they tasted of the sea
Your lips they tasted of the sea

And the Curlews cut the air like a knife
With a song like ancient lovers coming back to life
And the moon found it’s way to your feet
And it crept towards your heart while I listened to it beat
crept towards your heart while I listened to it beat
I’ll remember every second for eternity
And Your lips they tasted of the sea
Your lips they tasted of the sea

And then we swam into the sea
I was the child I’d forgotten how to be
And the sun was coming up as we walked into the shore
It was written in my eyes I could never love you more
written in my eyes I could never love you more
There are no words……

And our lips they tasted of the sea
our lips they tasted of the sea
of the sea
of the sea
of the sea
of the sea

our lips they tasted of the sea
our lips they tasted of the sea
our lips they tasted of the sea
our lips they tasted of the sea

about

Beautifully Mad image

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
