Bushbabies and Bananas

© 2025 A cloudless sky, a lonely star where are you tonight? I hear a whisper from afar but it’s just the wind in the lonesome night   A world of dreams, a promise wept long I lay and in the darkness slept and the lonely star in the sky above I wondered again – where was my love?   My sadness grew and I stumbled on all hope of life was dead and gone the moon so pale in her silver gown and still the lonely star shone down   The wind was cold my heart turned to ice Death was in my veins tears stung my frozen cheeks as I knelt in the grey rains the lonely star was fading away I had to go, I had to follow I lost myself in the weeping grey   I hear a whisper from afar where are you tonight? but it’s just the wind in the lonesome night.  Drakensberg, 1996 Copyright Statement:  © 2025.  All lyrics in my songs are the original work of Christine Jordaan.

 © 2025 The bruise on my wrist has faded The hurt in my heart has gone I’ve come so far, yes baby I’ve made it But why then am I struggling to carry on? Why am I always out chasing storms Turning away from sunny, blue skies Maybe burning in the flames, Playing his endless games Got me addicted to the fire And now I’m simply lost trying to catch the lightning I was searching for the Sun’s Light Just trying to find my way home But I know now that you’re in the thunder Yes, I can hear you in the Storm I can feel you in the wind pulling at me Trying to tell me I can fly And I know that you’re sent the rain To wash away my tears when I have cried You’re a thought form of the drifting clouds, Dreaming shadows, and soft mists But I am frozen icicles Born of my fears and doubts And the bruises on my wrists I was searching for the Sun’s Light Trying to get dry and warm But the strange thing Quite amazing I have fallen in love with the storm.

© 2025 I'm out here in the desert it must be over 90 degrees, but there’s ice freezing in my veins and I'm crying on my knees They say that Times a healer well, he's left me far behind and I'm on this lonesome road through the valley of death with a vampire sucking dry my mind Sun slipping into sinking sand shadows slinking out to play I feel the touch of their icy hands telling me to stay Night drops down, in her velvet gown, and I see him standing on the dune I'm dancing again with the devil somehow but this time an Angel writes the tune. They say that Times a healer well, he's left me far behind and I'm on this lonesome road through the valley of death with a vampire sucking dry my mind and I'm dancing again with the devil somehow but this time an Angel writes the tune.

 © 2025 Dreaming of tomorrow You're a ghost just a shadow a story of who you might want to be hidden in the middle I can feel that you're trouble but there’s no place baby I'd rather be and then its sinking time for this crazy little heart of mine I'm so far under I can’t see the mess that I'm drowning in I'm sinking and I need to learn how to swim I tell myself to run but there’s no place I can hide I open up my head and he's waiting there inside Looking in the mirror my eyes are driving me insane trying to find an exit from this twisted little game Think I'm crying out for Jesus but I'm calling out your name and its sinking time every dream, every wasted prayer dragging me down to the dark and the devils waiting there Its chaos in my head all is spinning round and round the price is way too high for this reason I have found colors fading fast from this vampire in my mind and its sinking time, lost my way far underground too late to turn this story ...

  © 2025 You chose to follow your heart and take the road less travelled choosing between your God at the time and chasing freedom did you know back then that you were losing Eden? Now that the glitter is fading and it’s all slowly slipping away when you’re sitting in the empty, praying at the end of the day can you say it was worth it those mad movie moments like you were walking on air flying so close to the Sun after your restless yearnings you didn't realise the night had come or see your wings burning Looking back I can honestly say although I collected many bruises along my winding way all I wanted was freedom and I guess I knew what I was choosing, but, yes, the mad movie moments like I was walking on air flying so close to the Sun after my restless yearnings I didn't realise the night had come or see my wings burning yes, the mad movie moments were worth losing Eden.

© 2025  He's a man on the run with a motive and a gun when he saw her, he was lost and he stopped to watch her dance She's just a Doll not quite whole Light and Shadow with a Soul and their spinning worlds collided just by chance He told her she was pretty and he would give her the whole city He would fight and start a war she was worth dying for He would kill to set them free for a love that could not be but her heart was made of steel and this love it was not real She's just a Doll not quite whole With a dream song That he stole He could not bear to say goodbye or see his love die in her eyes he let go and watched her fly and mourned her fading cries. She's just a Doll Not quite whole He’s a man Who lost control he could not bear to let her go he mourned her fading cries And her eyes would haunt him 'til the day that he died.

© 2025 Another Broken Ballerina Your tutu is dusty the music long stopped you no longer dance locked away in your box the satin is faded the child’s gems are just stones your heart is now jaded and the sparkle has gone Your fine feathers are dust now all your dreams are long flown you must learn to trust now you need to carry on But I am frozen frozen inside no light reaches inwards and my little flame has died Well, throwaway the tutu we’re done paying the price and trade in your pointe shoes we can skate on the ice.

© 2025 You gave me a charm for my bracelet one Sunday afternoon we were lying in bed laughing with rain drumming on the roof you said every year you would add one for our love that would grow but the bracelet snapped last night and that tiny charm fell to the floor all alone Baby I should have collected one for each broken promise instead or maybe drew a cross in red ink on the wall by my bed like prisoners do in jail when they’re locked in the dark to mark the nights I spent weeping since you burnt down my heart The tiny charm was a gold ship for all the trips we would take I would have sunk it that day if I’d known my heart would just break and the journey I’d go on would be one way to hell and leave me sitting crying on the floor where our tiny ship fell I think I will fix my gold bracelet and set sail alone pick myself off the floor and just try and get home and of course, yes, it's raining like that Sunday so long ago but this time I’m not laughing – I’ve been where Angels fea...

© 2025 If my heart were a glass house you could read the writing on the wall of the times I've loved before the crazy road I travelled on stupid things that I have done breaking rules and crossing lines battles fought and Kingdoms won Paid the asking price for Love left a river of tears along the path when my heart was all cried out and I had forgotten how to laugh thought I'd pick it up on the way back home but I'm lost now in the Storm and my dreams are home alone Ghosts of lovers past Sing of the highs that didn’t last and glitter that faded way too fast once the die was cast echoes of what may have been and sunsets yet unseen Oh you cruel, cruel voices! I followed where you led and I ended up in bed with a demon god instead breaking up my head stabbing at my Soul until I was just a broken Doll falling down on the streets of tinsel town Why cant you leave me alone out here on the ocean drifting in darkness waiting for the Moon to shine down Why don't you stay on your...

© 2025 I would give up my rings and sparkly things trade it all in for my Angel Wings We could fly away free just you and me away from all the sorrow that Knowing brings Or maybe I would go back to where it all went wrong when the Sun turned black and I’d write a different song I could go back to play where I first lost my way before I tore off my own Angel Wings Oh what would I give to forget and forgive to simply live and let live with my Angel Wings just spread them out wide sing my Song and then fly far, far away on my Angel Wings To skip this dark winter straight into Spring I could do all of this with my Angel Wings But these grinning little gremlins sinning wee demons ensnared me down here with their poisonous stings a Songbird in a cage trapped for an Age dreaming so sadly of my Angel Wings.

© 2025 Poison Eyes I swear I met Medusa She had an evil look upon her don’t you dare to peep you mere mortal that serpent-haired women’s poison eyes are a portal straight into hell Oh cover her gaze its said her glare will kill you although if you dare to dice with death perhaps her stare will thrill you   Would you choose her or use her seduce her or lose her Medusa and her Poison Eyes she can turn you to stone with just a look ask her last lover, that’s all that it took Oh Medusa your power can uncover a liar could I borrow your stare just for an hour wouldn’t it be fun to watch these creeps run slip-sliding in haste out of the gate Oh Poison eyes seeing right through me She can teach me, She can lead me if she can reach me she can free me oh poison eyes I will take the dare of the serpent stare I will walk through that portal I will risk all to have it all Oh poison eyes!

© 2025 Talk to my Angel They don't tell you when you up there waiting how much pain you're going to have to take or how you will sob yourself to sleep at night or that your mind may shatter and break Lord, you must have had a purpose? Surely I had a plan? I don't know where I am meant to be and I sure don't understand We don't arrive down here with instructions or any kind of guidance if I did I have long since lost mine please can I talk to my Angel he has left me down here all alone they didn't tell me before I landed, that they were sending me off to war, or what the point of all this fighting is for, did I come here to find the others stranded, who are wandering out in the storm? Please can I talk to my Angel I am weary my heart is so heavy and I just want to go back home and I am tired, so, so tired Lord, of trying to make sense of it all, please can I talk to my Angel, can you tell him to come fetch me home I guess one day when its all over if I make it ba...
