about

Written by Bob Valentine (Lauren's father) set in the Victorian high country.

lyrics

Snow gum logs are burning on the fire
A glass of wine to help pass the time
Conversation floating on a Hotham mountain high
Opens heart and mind
Up here on the hill's the perfect setting
For such a fine occasions tonight
I'm gazing out at nothing
but the colour of the light
Questions start to form that may be answered

CH: The sun is setting low
Must be a little after seven
Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven?
Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven?

The air up here is crystal clear and sweet
The countryside, the hills are scotched and bare
Mother Nature does her work
Her cycles to to complete
You can feel her everywhere
I'm standing on a hilltop full of stars
The biggest sky that you will ever see
The Southern cross, the milky way
And right there must be Mars
I believe they're shining just for me

CH: The sun is setting low
Must be a little after seven
Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven?
Is this as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven?

He is just a journey man who's blessed
A city boy who lives beyond his dreams
Playing the guitar and singing songs upon request
Though its not a simple as it seems
To figure out where he fits in the scheme

CH: I glance down at my watch and its a quarter past 11
Is this as close as I'm ever gonna be to heaven?
This is about as close as I'm ever gonna get to heaven
