lyrics

V.1:
They took me from my home-glen, to number their frontline,
They took me from those Waters, and the crystal eyes that shine…
But thruugh their misdemeanour, they accused me of a crime:
and on some strange adventure—on the seas I did serve my time;

V.2:
And I always did then wonder: if a true love you did find?
And I always did remember: your eyes, they did haunt my mind…
While I was over yonder, my heart was locked in a bind,
Well I’m due home, this September—but suspect it won’t be kind…

CHORUS #1:
So I aint comin back for water,
I aint comin back for wine,
--I aint comin back to take you back. . . .
For you were always mine.
V.3:
Well the damn swallowed up the valley, It numbed their Hearts & Minds,
And thru those pristine Waters, big-business wheels now grind;
So who wracked you there with pain Love?–who left you out on the vine?
While I turned my eyes to the oceans, and the peaceful stars that shine…

CHORUS #2:
Now I aint comin back for water,
I aint comin back for wine,
--I aint comin back to take you back. . . .
For you, for you were always mine.

V.4:
Now rest your weary head dear—for whomever you may pine,
Know this: I’ll never leave you, just look to the stars for a sign….

Final CHORUS:
Cos’ I aint comin back for water,
I aint comin back for wine,
--I aint comin back to take you back,. . . .
For you were always mine..

So come with me my darlin’
Come with me so fine,
Oh come with me, oh come with me
Across the Seas of Time….//
--

about

Pat Bruce Melbourne, Australia

"2-Hat" Pat Bruce is one of Footscray's lesser-known Alternative/Roots troubadours.
His heartfelt song-craft conveys a raw mix of Celtic-Folk, tinged with muddy country-roots, all drenched with a grungy punk spirit.

As an intermittent stalwart of the inner-Melbourne music scene over the past decade, some say he is finally maturing like a good wine.

Decide for yourself.
