Forever on the search for quiet spaces in vibrant Newtown, I encounter the solace of the local graveyard at sunset.

lyrics

Into Eternity

St Stephen’s at sunset, a walk through the churchyard
Find a quiet corner among the old graves
Think of those shipwrecks with no one surviving
A rusted iron anchor the only thing saved

Into the twilight a clear voice is moving
A shock of bright hair, a silvery smile
A spindle of a tin man with a parlour guitar
Strapped to his back, travelling style

And the stars burst and the strings break
A heart stirs and our nerves quake
We all just want to feel free
So tonight we breathe into eternity

It’s so quiet here in the middle of town
Shadows of tombstones grow all around me
In the fading light, so quiet tonight

Nestled in the arms of a Moreton Bay cradle
We sing till the stars come shining
He cries for love, I yearn for freedom
To cut all the ties that bind me

And the stars burst and the strings break
My heart stirs and our nerves quake
We all just want to feel free
So tonight we gaze into eternity
