lyrics

In a clearing in a valley there’s place where we call home
And every humble dwelling is its owners private zone
And when we choose get together no one ever feels alone
Everybody has their own song but we all can sing along and we all
Gather round the bonfire of the tales that we all spin
And nobody is judged and everybody wins


Take time to be who you are on Sallies Farm
It’s time to be on who you on Sallies Farm


The sheep will knit you jumpers from the wool off their own back
The cows will give you yoghurt if you read them Kerouac
But the hens prefer to lay their eggs on a Jackson Pollack
Play Charlie Parker to the pumpkins they will jump out of the patch into the pot
Onto the fire warmed by the sense we played our part
And every single element becomes work of art


Make time to be who you are on Sallies Farm
There’s time to be who you are on Sallies Farm


The bees are gettin’ busy with the flowers and the trees
And all the birds are following each others twitter feeds
The bubbles from the fishes mouths throw thoughts between the reeds and
The worms are all dig the things that we can’t use or we don’t need and the soil they till Becomes a place where we plant all our ideas
And some may bear fruit quickly others take 100 years
Coz everything of quality is worth the effort and the time
It’s the substance that’s important not how bright its surface shines


You’re time to be who you are on Sallies Farm
Now’s the time to be who you are on Sallies Farm
There’s time to take things slow on Sallies Farm
There’s time to make things grow on Sallies Farm

The Switch Brisbane, Australia

Falling somewhere between the worlds of blues, folk, blue grass, roots and country music, The Switch share a mutual passion for a beautiful melody, a well turned phrase and an occasional dark turn of mind.

Passionate, soulful, haunting, the stunning vocals of Alison St Ledger blend beautifully with the superb artistry of Sallie Campbell and Dave McGuire to lift the heart and stir the soul. ... more
