lyrics

Along this curving driveway, the peppermint trees bow
Been so long we’ve been gone
Time’s short, but anyhow
Got ourselves out of the city, a leave of absence from the war
We’re all alone, and right at home
Wood and weatherboard

She’s built up good and sturdy, nestled in the trees
The door swings open easy
You never need the keys
She’s withstood many winters, and been lovingly restored
The slightest lean on brace and beam
Wood and weatherboard

Wood and weatherboard
Wood and weatherboard

The morning magpie chorus breaks the silence of the dawn
Move slowly in the golden hour
Inhale the midday warm
Step quiet in the gentle dusk, across these creaking floors
The bush can whisper through these walls
Of wood and weatherboard

Wood and weatherboard
Wood and weatherboard

Now we’re done with dinner and there’s not much left to do
You’re reaching for the violin
We’re humming the same tune
And there’s healing in the singing, as the words wrap round the chords
Gentle echoes ringing
On wood and weatherboard

Wood and weatherboard
Wood and weatherboard
