Having had a troubled life, the artist pays reference to the love and consistency of this treasured relationship Lyrics It’s been a long time Since we’ve been here It’s been a long time To know But the road Always stays the same Oooh oooh oo-oo-ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh Rambling on Through these old hills Sitting here alone The times I’ve had Ohhh in this house Have been the only consistency I’ve ever known Baking cakes of blue and green Blue Pools, Angourie Milo… and ice..cream for lunch Playing in the pool outside While the cricket And tennis is on T.V It’s been a long time Since we’ve been here It’s been a long time To know But the road Always stays the same Oooh oooh oo-oo-ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh Galahs sing In quiet streets Colouring in So carefully So the tray tables Won’t collapse Fishing and yabbying And playing On the silver swings It’s been a long time Since we’ve been here It’s been a long time To know But the road Always stays the same Oooh oooh oo-oo-ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
