lyrics

Into The Big Blue.

In the chill morning air I rise at first light, stoke up the fire and thaw out my bones.
Then I strike camp and saddle my horse, round up the herd and head them north.

Where nothing meets the eye,
Where the horizon divides,
And the hilltops collide with powder blue skies.
And I’m counting the miles,
Between her and I,
And the distance it scares me and yet it dares me to drive,
Straight and true,
Into the Big Blue.

There’s fire on the hills, smoke bleeds into the night, and the cattle take fright as ash rains from the sky.
It’s a dangerous track- there’s a long road ahead, but I have ridden it before and I will ride again.

Where nothing meets the eye,
Where the horizon divides,
And the hilltops collide with powder blue skies.
And I’m counting the miles,
Between her and I,
And the distance it scares me and yet it dares me to drive,
Straight and true,
Into the Big Blue.

She cheated just once, but once was enough,
And the trust that we built, it crumbled to dust.
My daddy told me, “son, trust what’s inside”,
I left the big city and I learned how to ride.
And sometimes I find when I face to the West
I swear right there, beneath the sand and the sweat,
I can feel her breath, smell her scent,
And I know I will never go back again.
I won’t go back again.

Where nothing meets the eye,
Where the horizon divides,
And the hilltops collide with powder blue skies.
And I’m counting the miles,
Between her and I,
And the distance it scares me and yet it dares me to drive,
Straight and true,
Into the Big Blue.

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
