Lyrics: Peggy Frew
Music: Peggy Frew
I took a bus to a country house
I was too young to drive
β this was β92
I had 15 bucks in my bank account
and I was not long out of school
And Iβd just met you and I knew what that meant
and all I wanted to do was to run away
I was so afraid to love you darling
And for three full days I said goodbye to myself
the old me
the whole me
cause I knew for sure I would become someone else
if I let you in
Inside me, inside me
in my mind and in my body
It would find me, find me
the tearing force of love
The grass was blonde and the days were long
and the dry wind blew so fierce and strong
The dawns were pink when I swam in the dam
I could barely read at all
And I pushed away all thoughts of you
but you were everywhere I looked
β in the yellow hills, in the damβs cool spill
in the flowersβ frills and folds
And three days later I would offer myself
up to you
to be new
And I guess I had decided to become someone else
to let you in
Inside me, inside me
in my mind and in my body
It had found me, found me
the open maw of love
And it would be true
and I would be new
and Iβd hold myself wide open to
me and you
