lyrics

That month at Wallace Street,
Kathleen and Jimmy both moved out.
You came to meet us all,
Then you moved your things into our house
Could barely catch my breath
When you sat beside me on the couch

That winter rained like hell,
The roof leaked into pots and pans.
We stood round the stove to warm our hands.
I showed you Vegemite,
You showed me the songs of Georges Brassens.

But you didn’t chase, you didn’t run
You just stood quiet
And when my fears dissolved, like crumbling walls
You were by my side.

That night out in the yard,
My mind for once was clear.
Blankets on the grass,
Your body warm and near.
I woke to magpie song,
And your voice beside my ear.

But you didn’t chase, you didn’t run
You just stood quiet
And when my fears dissolved, like crumbling walls
You were by my side.

Oh, we had each other,
Each other,
Hanging by a thread.
Oh, we had the other’s,
The other’s heart, the other’s head
We didn’t know it yet.

But you didn’t chase, you didn’t run
You just stood quiet
And when my fears dissolved, like crumbling walls
You were by my side
You were by my side.
