From the recording Oceania

Lyrics

Can’t relieve this feeling
The hollow achingness inside
You could be in trouble
Or paradise
You’re in far Karumba
Distant, just like cares
I can’t believe this feeling
Sort of wishing I was there
Every passing day
Sing the blues away
Thoughts come back to haunt me
Haunt me all night long
If ever there was nowhere
I’ll sing that song
Jinny I think I’ve seen
The other side of paradise
I know it sounds indulgent
But we go there once or twice
Just about every passing day
Just to sing
Sing the blues away
Oh blind and foolish innocence
Forever may you sing
The business may prevail
But that’s not everything
In the midst of this confusion
Some sanity prevails
Some things are disregarded
Some things you turn away
There’s just these little bits of treasure
Flotsam, jetsam on the tide
They’re brought here to these waters
From across the other side continued >
32
You’re in far Karumba
Where the fi shin’ boats come in
I can’t relieve this feelin’
Wishin’ I was there
We could talk about
Every passing day
Might even learn to sing the blues away
