Lyrics

Hey, I wasn’t listening
I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip
You, you were in the kitchen
Oh your mariner’s mouth, the wounded with the wounder’s whip

And that’s how summer passed
Oh the great dividing range
The green, green grass and oh
Maybe it was peace at last, who knew

Hello love, my invincible friend
Hello love, the thistle and the burr
Hello love, for you, I have so many words

But I, I forget where we were
I forget where we were

Hey, I wasn’t listening
I was stung by all of us, the blind leading out the bored
And as per usual, you were
Skipping and laughing eyes at the bedroom door
”Don’t take it so seriously, no
Only time is ours, the rest we’ll just wait and see”
Maybe you’re right babe, maybe

Hello love, my invincible friend
Hello love, the thistle and the burr
Hello love, for you, I have so many words

But I, I forget where we were
I, I forget where we were
I, I forget where we were
I forget where we were
I forget where we were
I forget where we were
