That month at Wallace Street
Kathleen and Jimmy both moved out
You came to meet us all
Then you moved your things into our house
Could barely catch my breath
When you sat beside me on the couch
That winter rained like hell
The roof leaked into pots and pans
We stood round the stove to warm our hands
I showed you Vegemite
You showed me the songs of Georges Brassens
But you didn’t chase, you didn’t run
You just stood quiet
And when my fears dissolved, like crumbling walls
You were by my side
That night out in the yard
My mind for once was clear
Blankets on the grass
Your body warm and near
I woke to magpie song
And your voice beside my ear
But you didn’t chase, you didn’t run
You just stood quiet
And when my fears dissolved, like crumbling walls
You were by my side
Oh, we had each other
Each other
Hanging by a thread
Oh, we had the other’s
The other’s heart, the other’s head
We didn’t know it yet
But you didn’t chase, you didn’t run
You just stood quiet
And when my fears dissolved, like crumbling walls
You were by my side
You were by my side
