about

This is a song that I heard Settlers Match do years ago and instantly fell in love with. Later I met the lovely Lis Frencham who graciously gave me her blessing to record it. I was attracted to Pete’s Song because of the emotion and intense longing it expressed. - Kellie Gale.

lyrics

Mighty sea you have such power in your hand
Your waves they can turn the rock to sand
But all of the strength you wield can never set me free
If you can’t make that sweet boy love me

For all your great voice you can’t kneel by his bed
And whisper my name in his dreams
And all of nature’s power means nothing now to me
For I’ll die if he never loves me

Gentle Earth with your magic old as time
But I can only see it as a crime
That you give birth to the flowers, the ferns and the trees
Yet you can’t make that sweet boy love me

Sky above with your sunshine and your rain
Can you send me down something to ease the pain?
For all your thunder and lightning is useless can’t you see?
If you can’t make that sweet boy love me
