lyrics
And the Missus City caught you out
Cut like a sailor in your winter coat
I am a dreamer - I spat you out
And you get your guns of Navarone out
What could be better than sitting here
I could swear that was a sin in my ear
I cut the by-lines and holed you out
But how could I block out your black eyes
Cut like a sailor in your winter coat
I am a dreamer - I spat you out
And you get your guns of Navarone out
What could be better than sitting here
I could swear that was a sin in my ear
I cut the by-lines and holed you out
But how could I block out your black eyes

about
The Maple Trail NSW, Australia
The Maple Trail is something of a personal odyssey, a musical journey that has traversed the ravines of Sydney’s metropolitan limits and rearticulated itself across hundreds of hours of tape and performances.
