about

Written in Sydney 5-6 Feb 2013

There’s a possibility this might be a song written by my wife’s dog… I may have just been the cosmic stenographer who transcribed it for him. His name is Beaujo and he’s a Ruby Red Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with very big eyes. He’s a master of telepathy who suffers from separation anxiety.

Given that my Songs For Sooner album was related to the story of the dog I owned in my teenage years - Sooner - who would have “sooner” stayed under the house than come out into the world, Southern Cross Northern Skies is about taking the next step and following a star that is impossible to see - unless you learn to look in new ways - trusting where it will lead you.

“My eyes are open
So many beautiful things to see”

lyrics

11. My My Pretty Darling 



My my pretty darling, don't leave me here alone 

Don't leave me wondering if you're ever coming home

I won't get in your way, I won't make a sound

I just wanna be with you and have a good look around 



My my pretty darling, don't leave me here like this

With nothing but a memory of your sweet candy kiss

I'll go anywhere, let's get lost and found
I just wanna be with you and have a good look around 



My eyes are open, so many beautiful things to see 

You know things only appear like that when you're here with me



My my pretty darling, let me come along for the ride 

You just can't go wrong with me here by your side

I won't be no trouble when we go to town

I just wanna be with you and have a good look around



My my pretty darling, don't leave me here alone

Don't leave me wondering if you're ever coming home

I won't get in your way, I won't make a sound 

And I won't be no trouble, when we go to town

I just wanna be with you and have a good look around

I just wanna be with you
