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
