You and I

Carl Cleves

We caught a train from Sydney to Taree
We hitched a ride up into the hills
The night was black when we came upon the shack
There was no turning back
You and I came from far away
Time flew by, there was so much to say
You were shy when I kissed you on the bed
And we made love like newly-weds

We moved north after a year of courting
To study music seriously
All through summer we were singing and cavorting
We never felt so free
Wide-open spaces and forgotten places
Setting ablaze all the colours of the land
Guitars give wings to the words that we sing
From Freo to Queensland come dance to the band
You and I will go a long way
We will fly each and every day
Clear or cloudy sky we'll fly a long way
Higher than high we will fly

The years go by and the hills get steeper
There's new grapes on the vine
Harvest your heart and the song grows deeper
Like vintage wine
You and I we've come a long way
We can fly each and every day
Clear sky we'll fly a long way
Higher than high
Wide-open spaces and forgotten places
Setting ablaze all the colours of the land
Guitars gave wings to the words that we sing
From Freo to Queensland come dance to the band
You and I we've come a long way
We can fly each and every day
Clear sky we'll fly a long way
Higher than high we will fly
