about

This is a track written by our bass players long distance relationship back in 2017. It's incredibly soulful and features a Sydney soul legend Pat Powell.

lyrics

Verse 1
She lives in Northern Florida, but her hearts in California.
She’s one with the Wilderness is, home is where the thrills is.
She likes to hike up mountains, ten-thousand feet no problem.
Two three weeks no phone call, puts burden on her mans soul.

Chorus
Oh you sweet fine girl, you live so far away,
I think about you every moment from Sydney to LA.
God’s a cruel man woman playing games with two of his kind.,
I hate doing distance baby but love is blind.

Verse 2
Feisty in her fury, she is the judge and jury.
Her hairs been every colour, what’s next don’t know I wonder.
Sometimes she likes it funky, dancing and singing in all the keys.
Counting just how long it’s been, being with her is so serene.

Chorus

Bridge
I can’t help but wondering if there’s lovin I’ve been missin.
If there’s another man who’s been kissin where I should be blissin.
All I can do is wait for that glorious day.
When you’re with me baby instead of ten thousand miles away.
