Listen to the Road To Tamworth
You’re still two hours north of me
With the kids in the lounge room and a cup of tea
And you’re worried about me I know
A roast is in the oven, kept on low
Is the road to Tamworth dangerous
On a Friday night
Lots of trucks and bends
And tired eyes with poor sight
I’ll have to keep singing to stay awake
My minds already asleep with you
But my heart can’t take a break
If blue is the colour you see
When you look up
It’s better than looking back
Persistance of memory
And all that is left for me
By the time I reach the Dubbo turnoff
I feel a long way from home
Everybody’s lonely
But no one’s alone
I’m driving up the New England highway
And I’m listening to Radio National
There’s a man singing a song
I’m not sure what it’s about
It was the world within
That saved me from the world without
What is it that you see if you look out?
Even the road looks good after the rain
How can I walk away from myself
As if I’m someone else?
Blue is the colour you see
If you look up
It’s better than looking back
Persistance of memory
Is all that is left of me
How can I walk away?
You see, you are a part of me
