Leave It All Behind

I love the smell of the air out here
I love the way the stars twinkle
I love this little mudbrick house your mother made for you
You lived in as a child

And it seems I’ve chosen a wanderer’s life
Traipsing the world as you sleep in the night
But I still crave the warmth of a home
I still love the comfort of everything I’ve known

Show me this view from the red gum tree
Let’s take in the city skyline before I leavе it all behind me
And hold me closеly
And I’ll look into your eyes while we still have time my darlin’
Before I leave it all behind

I love the child in you that comes out to play
Climbing in the trees and splashing in the lake
I love the way you hold me in this cocoon we both made
In here it’s warm, steady and safe

Somehow I think I’ll miss this January heat
When I’ve been away a while and there’s snow beneath my feet
When Melbourne lies beneath me and I’m way up in the air
It’s a bittersweet goodbye while I long for something more

Show me this view from the red gum tree
Let’s take in the city skyline before I leave it all behind me
And hold me closely
And I’ll look into your eyes while we still have time my darlin’
Before I leave it all behind
