lyrics

Imagine if you will, the peace of a river at night
Sailing safe into the harbour dead to rights
But now mining seams, justifying means
Scattered four ways to the wind
Tied impossibly together to the end

Ode to one bucolic summer where your voice and vision rings
Where our wanderings meet on Great George Street, where a nation found its wings
Where a country's born, cast away lovelorn, in the dust of history
In the rear view of my mind eye's reverie

Imagine if you will, the world all around us in spin
We endured in every weather, closing in
The steel in our eyes exemplifies, the best we dared believe
Riding shotgun where the highway line recedes

Ode to one bucolic summer where your voice and vision rings
Where our wanderings meet on Great George Street, where a nation found its wings
Where a country's born, cast away lovelorn, in the dust of history
In the rear view of my mind eye's reverie

Imagine if you will, the peace of a river at night
Sailing safe into the harbour uncontrite
Now we drift on streams of the broken dreams, scattered three sheets to the wind
Tied impossibly together once again

Ode to one bucolic summer where your voice and vision rings
Where our wanderings meet on Great George Street, where a nation found its wings
Where a country's born, cast away lovelorn, in the dust of history
In the rear view of my mind eye's reverie
We are joined as one forever like the iron road sea to sea
