about

I wrote this in the mid 1980's and recorded it with the great, late Ross Hannaford on guitar, but this version was done with The Hornets in 1998 and has become a staple of our live set for 20 years

lyrics

Melbourne

Met her down in Melbourne, sometime ago
She was living fast, I was moving slow.
Met her at a hotel, owned by a woman in red,
She was in need of a doctor but she didn’t have the bread

Chorus
Before you leave, say goodbye,
Couldn’t go on living a lie
I think about every time I see the sky
So bye-bye baby, baby good bye

We made love in the morning and in the shadow of storms
You walls were peeling and your linen was torn.
We made love until the day you turned the key
You didn’t look back when you say goodbye to me

Chorus

Now it’s late in the evening and the guests have all gone
I’m thinking ‘bout you baby and I’m thinking that it’s wrong
I should sleep alone when winters in the trees
I should be breaking in your loving arms like waves upon the seas

Chorus x2
