about

Originally released on My Lucky Day in 2007. Nicky Del Rey on guitar, Barry Stockley on bass, Sharky Ramos - drums. Four chords, very rich song. The full melancholy, a touch of Bacharach. Written in a school bus on the way home from Mt.Gambier.

lyrics

Far, far from home on a lost night in a strange motel
Love's on the horizon as the twilight fades
Let's sit here in the bar and sample the top shelf
So well-lit, so intoxicating
If you could only bottle seduction, here it is

Outside the wind it whips and the rain it falls
Beyond the Jubilee Highway
Lies a field of fallen pine like a graveyard
Run beyond it to the forest, so dark and inviting
A clear sky and a brilliant cold
And the flames like your fate so rich

Further on to Corangamite and Wendouree
Ghosts everywhere in the road-side stops and the cattleyards
Oh, I'm sailing home to you, my love
