My Melbourne Home

I close my eyes, dream of the sun
The highway takes me from the place where I was born
No parents left for me, no family left there for me to see
Sometimes you realize the place where you belong

I close my eyes, remember the time
You ran around the backyard blowing dandelions
The years have flown and you've all grown
This place we live in has become our home

I close my eyes, think of my youth
The bands I played in and the things that I got up to
My heart was lost the moment I held each of you
You are my thoughts, my living proof

There's no point in throwing that away
The grass is always greener they say
I've got a 1004 reasons to stay
In My Melbourne Home

There's no point in throwing that away
The grass is always greener they say
I've got a 1004 reasons to stay
In My Melbourne Home

I close my eyes, dream of a future
Boyfriends, marriages, Grandkids to hold
Birthdays, holidays, Easter and Christmas
Celebrate them all when you come home

There's no point in throwing that away
I fight for your rights to stay
This big house is more than just our home
It's our retreat it's our comfort zone
Family is in these bricks and mortar
And I'll protect it for my daughters
You'll never be alone
