Lyrics
Staring out the window, climbing through the sky
Dreaming in the surf and the swell of the tides
Wherever I went I didn't have to pretend
Name me a day and I thought of you then
And if you hide yourself out in this world for good how am I going to find you again?
Late New Years Eve on Bradleys Head Road
Alone in the crowd with this one thing I know
These rivers will live, this flat earth will bend
Our time is coming but I don't know when
And if you hide yourself out in this world for good how am I going to find you again?
All the fireworks, tears and whisky
All will pass away
Wait for me I'll be out in the morning and looking for the day
You're a long way for me, We're a long way from home
In some distant morning I will meet you alone
And we'll join in the dawn and the waves will be friends
And the grace of the whole world will come to us then
And if you hide yourself out in this world for good how am I going to find you again?
Three lanes of traffic, and a plane on the runway
A mile of conveyor belt and feelings that say
these walls are not real,
these floors are pretend
and you are the substance alone that remains
And if you hide yourself out in this world for good how am I going to find you again?
