Wanderlust

Off we go to Sydney where the Wanderlust Festival is held on Cockatoo Island!

Laurie the car is all painted, packed up and in great condition

Bye beautiful Queensland, see ya soon

We wish our weekdays away, spend our weekends in bed

we drink ourselves stupid

and work ourselves dead

and all just because that's what Mum and Dad said we should do

We should run through the forests

we should swim in the streams

we should laugh, we should cry

we should love, we should dream

we should stare at the stars and not just a screen

you should hear what I'm saying and know what it means to

Sing, sing at the top of your voice

Love without fear in your heart

Feel like you still have a choice

If we all light up we can scare away the dark

Do you think my personality is written in stone?

Are you positively certain that you know what you've been shown?

I'm a snapshot of the person that you think I ought to be

So give it up, give it up

I've been the leader

I've been the follower

I've been the dreamer

I've been the wallower

I take the high road

I take the low road

I don't wanna be your mother

I've been down, boys, I've been down, boys

Been right to the top

When you hear me coming you can hear a pin drop

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
as she lies here beside me, asleep with the night
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.

She is soft, she is warm
but my heart remains heavy
and I watch as her breast gently rise, gently fall
for I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving
and tonight will be all I have left to recall.
