lyrics

Throw it out
And we'll leave before the dawn
We'll be
In a country town, filled with summer sounds
A place I grew up

There was certainty
In some things I knew before
But now
Nothing that I see, makes much sense to me
But you, my love

I took you to
A place I hadn't been
For years
Where the paddocks spill, onto dusty roads
Where we held the tears
Back

One morning they came to me
These mandarin and mango trees
On my page these watercolours bleed
They morph, they fade while I'm asleep

So I'm running or something, I don't know
And we laughed and we mourned and we cried
For a world that's increasingly distant now

How could I
Say goodbye
Don't know if I
Said goodbye
To this

Always sunny, it's always sunny, it's always sunny here...
