about

A song written about my adopted home town before I moved there...Melbourne, I love you!

lyrics

I'm a stranger in a strange town
But somehow it always feels like home
When I catch my shadow in the glass
As cross my shoulders the sunlight roams

The trams rattle by on Sydney Road
An oddity to my northern eyes
Past the bridal shops and cafes there
And the clustered pubs keep slipping by

And I never know which way my feet will tread
Between the morning light and the day's end
But my soul will feel the comfort of it
This sympathetic street.

It's thirty-five and rising
But tomorrow will chill me to the bone
And my mother's voice sounds so distant here
As she leaves another message on my phone

Yes, the days slip by all too quick
In my perfect holiday bliss
But I'm sliding back to a reality
That I'm all too keen to miss

'Cause I never know which way my feet will tread
Between the morning light and the day's end
But my soul will feel the comfort of it
This sympathetic street

I'm waiting again at Tullamarine
For the plane that'll take me away
And I wish there could be another way
I wish that I could stay.

But the path that I'm set on was locked in
By a thousand choices made time and again
And my soul must bear the parting and the loss
'Til our paths again converge and cross

And my feet will recognise this city
I'll walk each street and every alley
And my soul will feel the comfort of it
This sympathetic street

Yes my feet will recognise this city
I'll walk each street and every alley
And my soul will feel the comfort of it
This sympathetic street

This sympathetic street

about

Jane Cameron Melbourne, Australia

beauty is... tears in laughter, small joys even in the midst of sorrow, a drifting feather, a cold beach, the wind over the ocean, cold fingers on the skin making your heart warm, storm clouds and lightning, rain, the sun through green leaves in the morning, voices singing, the rhythm of a drum, the beat of your heart, the sigh of your breath and moments of pure relaxation...and a ukulele helps. ... more
