Description: I wrote this song as a student on college campus, University of Melbourne, before renting a shared flat on Lygon St and then a shared terrace house on Grattan St. 1980s Carlton was a mix of academics, bohemians, young workers, artists and students. This is one of my more carefree songs from that time of volatility.

I wrote this song as a student on college campus, University of Melbourne, before renting a shared flat on Lygon St and then a shared terrace house on Grattan St. 1980s Carlton was a mix of academics, bohemians, young workers, artists and students.

lyrics

You’ve seen all of the things I can be,
and I know you well!
You’re an impossible rogue,
I don’t wish to change that.
You just weave in and out of my loom
Tangled in loose threads
I want to set you free
Till your shining through me.

Hover inside my life
Linger in my world a little while longer
You wither away my fear
That trusting is followed by a fall
Linger inside my love,
Moving as one’s just a little too easy
We call it beautiful, aha.

Don’t go kidding me you can change,
That would be most absurd
For an impossible rogue
With a spark in his evil eye
I never want to see through our childish emotions
I must just be brave
I’ve been cold too long now:

Hover inside my life,
Linger in my world a little while longer
You wither away my fear
That trusting is followed by a fall
Linger inside my love,
Moving as one’s just a little too easy
We call this beautiful, aha.

I never want to see through our childish emotions
I must just be brave
I can’t be too wrong now
If I rest my life on love
Then … you will want to, oooooh you’ll want to

Hover inside my life
Linger in my world a little while longer
You wither away my fear
That trusting is followed by a fall
Linger inside my love,
Moving as one’s just a little too easy
We call this beautiful.

Land and Legend

This album carries one of my favourite recordings by this legendary mythic rock band: Adrienne's song 'The Children of Lir'. It's so good that it feels like a traditional ballad. Louisa John-Krol
