about
A simple song reflecting on growing up in the suburbs of Adelaide with fond memories of visits to my cousin's farm at Parawa on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula. Good times.
lyrics
There's a panel of stained glass window
Covered up with masking tape
And it's been that way since I-don't-know-how-long
It sticks out like a sore thumb
Against the beautiful greens and reds
As the morning sun streams in from the east.
And I don't want it to change
Can some things stay the same?
Cause when I think of that stained glass window
Covered up with masking tape
It feels like home...
And my uncle is selling the farm
96 acres of Prime Green Land
It's where he taught us all to drive
In an old Land Cruiser
And to ride a motorbike
We started out on the postie scooter
And we'd catch yabbies and frogs in the dam
Eat the yabbies on crackers and race the frogs
And in the shed we'd play Dart Cricket
And I'd be hoping to hell that pointy end
Would get stuck in the bat
And not my head
It wasn't my farm but to the cousins it felt like home.
