about

This song was written for Althea, an effervescent woman from the Gold Coast. Althea generously told us her story of love, that started so joyously. Her husband served in the Vietnam war and was exposed to Agent Orange.
“We heard Althea’s story and had to write it right for her...”

lyrics

Well I lost the shape of your face
In life’s crowded dream
And I see in our daughters’ eyes
All that we should’ve been
In our pushed out boat
And our tethered caravan .
..but for your labouring breath,
and The shortness of plans -

YEAH I SEE YOU BY THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE HOTEL GRAND SILK AND TUXEDOS IN THE SUMMER HEAT IT WAS HEAVEN WHEN YOU TOOK MY HAND

I gotta ease off the brakes
Unhitch the lines
Weather the weather
Make a most-of-the time
And when I lower
These orange lenses
I’ll surely marvel at the true colours Of a life -

YES I’LL SEE YOU BY THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE HOTEL GRAND SILK AND TUXEDOS IN THE SUMMER HEAT IN A HEAVEN WHERE YOU TAKE MY HAND

From old Warren’s bar To Willy’s Bazaar
Ten years and five But now I gotta be strong
I know I must let you go
I know I’ve got to move on But
I will not forget the moves To our favourite song

YES I’LL MEET YOU BY THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE HOTEL GRAND SILK AND TUXEDOS IN THE SUMMER HEAT IN OUR HEAVEN WHERE YOU’LL TAKE MY HAND
