lyrics

I’ve been thinking about those days
We were living with your mother
In her house up on that hillside
In a quiet mountain town

And I was Joni Mitchell
And you were Albert Tucker
And we lived on your mum’s cooking
And our Centrelink benefit

You're the only man who ever
Lay me naked in the bedroom
To take me as his model
And draw me as you saw me

Yeah you took me as your model
And drew me in led pencil
You're the only man who ever
And I've been searching ever since

And it’s true we fought ferociously
But ah, we loved so easily

And I'm willing to admit
I remember everything
And I'm glad for all of it
I still wear your mother’s ring

Now it’s long gone since I knew you
But I still use all your jokes
And I gave some of my objects
Names I think you'd like

And you visit me in dreams
Where we reconcile the past
Well am I the screaming mother
And are you the sinking child?

Oh in the quiet of the night
Andrew I know it's alright

Cause I'm willing to admit
I remember everything
And I'm not ashamed of it
I still wear your mother’s ring
I still wear your mother’s ring
I still wear your mother’s ring

Well I still have all your letters
And that woven thing you got me
From a shop that smelled of incense
In a quiet mountain town

And the set of shelves you made me
And that pepper-corn wood bracelet
And your mother’s mother’s ring
Which I really should return
