she said “It’s been too long sitting here counting off the days been too long going on let’s go our separate ways i will not look upon the blood left on the tracks something here has broken and I’m slipping through the cracks no turning back no turning back” i loved you harder babe and longer than I should when the bad times by far outweighed the good i guess I just needed somewhere to put my pain but it came down on you cold and hard like Melbourne winter rain i’ll never know why I couldn’t let you go left me to ponder on our promises my darlin’ made on Melbourne city streets and they followed us to Darwin where you promised more to me than you ever had to bargain with led me down do this so much space in between what she’d say and what she’d mean we drove down the highway through the Pandanas into Kakadu she showed me painted stones i gave her my heart and bones for good my heart and bones for good my heart and bones now I’m aching for that day and I know it’ll come around when I can think of us and it won’t get me down for now I’m sleeping rough walking aimless around town with a blown and busy mind just trying to leave you behind

with lines on a serviette i take out a cigarette with the moon high above and yet a morning breaking and I breathe out into a sigh feel your lips as we said goodbye strolling on like dreamers do thinking I could fall for you and the cars they go passing by windows down, music way up high but their madness don’t catch my eye i’m star gazing as smoke lifts up into the air twirls and falls and then disappears i sing some half done tune thinking I could fall for you it’s 4am by the ASX clock times slipping away, as slowly I walk crossing Kingsway with Melbourne my home calling out like a symphony and there you are with your heart and sleeve with your crosswords and your make believe girl your darkness your ill at ease i think you’re amazing i dream I lift your hair from your ear and whisper words I hope you can hear coming straight warm and true thinking I could fall for you

head full of whiskey, heart full of wine you sit in the backyard underneath the clothesline watching the planes going out of your mind trying to make sense of her reasons and the open road won’t save you now with your smoker’s cough and your furrowed brow that heavy old heart is gonna follow you down you can’t outrun the night, or it’s demons all you need is a little sunshine fall back on your friends and pick a little John Prine she’s not coming back, she’s done it too many times just let it go, it’s ok you’ll be fine head full of whiskey, heart full of wine i don’t think you love her anymore, you’re just a prisoner to the time she used to dance beneath the city skyline making her way home to you and that open road won’t save you now it could take you from the city back to any given town but that heavy old heart is gonna follow you down let it go, give it time you’ll come around head full of whiskey and a heart full of wine won’t change the fact and it won’t change her mind it’ll just increase the distance and drag out the time it’s gonna take for you to find a way home head full of whiskey and a heart full of wine won’t change the fact, and it won’t change her mind it’ll just keep you chained up beneath the clothesline watching planes fly over you.

Hollow Moon 04:52
with the sun setting on the lemon trees i’d climb the hills behind her home beneath Strathbogie views at age twenty-two i’d wait there as we’d planned for well I knew that soon she’d come as would the stars from midst the blue and in my arms she’d whisper true while looking down that big old hollow moon but then came the war and the burning of the trees the tearing of the scars that only grew through the clouding of the sky i watched her as she fell for someone knew the brilliance of her skin a picture took it all and i held it to my heart as darkness grew through the gun fire and the napalm fumes i held her screaming to that big old hollow moon hollow moon under that great big hollow moon our love ran out too soon hollow moon my love we’re watching water threw the cliffs, rush over time moved away the hours into days here I am a man of 54 in civilian life with kids and loving wife, and a picture wrapped up in a bottom draw but sometimes I stand by the windows here at night and all the things that once I thought I knew again I feel them to be true as I look up to that big old hollow moon hollow moon under that great big hollow our love ran out too soon hollow moon my love say you’ll meet me up above and stroll laughing in my arms forever hollow moon my love say you’ll meet me up above and fall laughing in my arms forever

she fell out of the blue like rain rolling through over dusty fields in my mind and the black seeds grew into colors I knew would light up the end of the line her love dawned on me like sunrise soothing my dull aching bones but I’ve seen love burn in to wildfire and burn out like ashes in the stones she set down my bags, dusted my jeans and she pulled at my strings ‘til I burst at the seams by the roadside gravel I fell unravelled in the arms of the girl of my dreams she drew me to daylight, brightened the corners i forgot about all of my losses but all I had to give her were wildflowers i’d stolen from roadside crosses and said if we go down baby lets go down burning slow if you could love me maybe then love me baby slow i wanna love you like crazy but I’ve seen enough now to know too much too soon will lead us to ruin and leave us with nowhere to go going down the only road I know take me with you baby where you go we could leave this old road for the trees i’ll put a mark in the gravel to know how far I travelled and return here should you ever leave but if we go down baby lets go down burning slow if you could love me maybe then love me baby slow i wanna love you like crazy but I’ve seen enough now to know too much too soon will lead us to ruin and leave us with nowhere to go

well I had the hand back when I met you i had the pants and more girls than other blokes since you’ve been gone those old times come back to haunt me the girls I had and the guys I owe here he comes again shining like the morning here he comes again rolling into shore the ladies man the old don Juan of the pub scene here he comes again strolling through the door and I’m blue babe I think I’m mourning though I’m pushing through the day’s move awfully slow as I think of you and that guy over which you’re fawning in pubs and bars everywhere I go his hair is combed and silver don’t deny it babe I know and here’s my hunch it was that time at brunch when I was away with the boys that he cut my lunch here he comes again shining like the morning here he comes again rolling into shore the ladies man the old don Juan of the pub scene here he comes again strolling through the door

Silver Fox 04:37
you old Silver Fox i know you ain’t done yet you can still throw a shape in the shadows standing on the corner with a cigarette she’s just 24 but you’re not anymore you old fox on the loose you don’t do too bad with your silver moustache and your cowboy boots and you know there’s gonna come a day when the clock’s gonna give you away but it won’t be tonight so pour some more whiskey on the rocks for that old Silver Fox that pretty skirt is gonna catch the sunrise lyin’ with your country shirt on her bedroom floor tonight oh how she likes to flirt, how you love to shoot the lines straight from your hips through your lips she’s your little rabbit in the moonlight but you know there’s gonna come a day when the rabbits keep gettin’ away but it won’t be tonight so pour some more whiskey on the rocks for that old Silver Fox and you won’t take it too bad if it don’t work out you’re never gonna let her see you sad if it don’t work out coz it’s nothin’ you aint been through and tonight she’s gonna to be with you you old silver fox, I know you got the blues but you dress sharp as a tack so we don’t see the cracks or the holes in yr shoes and that old whiskey river’s gonna take your troubled mind but it just can’t deliver you from what you left behind and you know there’s gonna come a day when that river’s gonna make you pay but it won’t be tonight so pour some more whiskey on the rocks for that old Silver Fox

sit and watch the trees swaying in the breeze clinging to their hearts all broken into parts the lines all duck and weave with their tricks up every sleeve but I don’t give a damn i turn away yet I see the light by juniper tonight clinging to my scars getting drunk in all the bars yeah I see the light by juniper tonight i’m getting smashed to keep the music flowing remember back at school when smoking cigarettes was cool you feel like you’ve been had now you’re talking like your dad the words all come out wrong with your twenties now long gone don’t stare into your youth boy look away the more you stare the more it’s there you’ll stay

Family Road 03:07
your eyes look a little bit colder since the last time you came by the embers smoulder on the roadsides in your mind no fire now, just those embers of the things you left behind no fire now, only stones you turned for things you couldn’t find you’ve come a long way down you’ve come the long way around you’ve come a long way down this family road are you happy now? are you happier now? are you happy now that you’re alone? the kids are fully grown the wife has flown heavy heart and heavy bones in a house that’s not a home no more and you know you got it wrong don’t let it lay you down when you should move on. you look a little bit older and I know it’s on your mind but you should’ve told her should’ve said you’d walk the line but you were unkind, too many times and your reasons were too unclear you were unkind gave her way too many reasons to disappear you’ve come a long way down you’ve come the long way around but you’ve come a long way down this family road are you happy now? are you happier now? are you happy now you’re alone? and you know you got it wrong with your foolish pride and your broken song.

i can’t tell you how much I love you hope one day that you’ll know the way that you saved me the grip that you gave me when I almost let everything go i can’t tell you how much I need you hope one day that you’ll see the hand that you took in making me look at the things that need fixing in me darlin’ you’re an anchor for this storm beaten ship on the sea only hope that I can do for you everything that you’re doing for me i can’t tell you how much I miss you when you’re not at my home i’m sorry we couldn’t make one together but you’ll understand when you’re grown most times what you plan for is nothing like what you find the best treasures are found upon rougher ground you’re a diamond little darlin’ of mine i can’t tell you how much I believe in you hope it’s never too late to let you know before you up and go but it’s so hard to articulate darlin’ you’re an anchor for this storm beaten ship on the sea only hope that I can do for you everything that you’re doing for me darlin’ you’re an anchor for this storm beaten ship on the tide the best treasures are found upon rougher ground you’re a diamond little darlin’ of mine
12.
it’s just like you to leave me smiling as we walk away it’s just like you to call out when it’s too late it’s just like you to leave me warm confused and torn and though the sky is blue i know tomorrow morning looks just like you it’s just like you to make all your madness seem like perfect sense it’s just like you to rush in to your own defence turns out the road is long but who’d have thought it way back then? i hope you stroll through every number and your little girl grows free and true just like you
