lyrics

I began to doubt Thomas
While I was sitting on the porch
The sun was setting over the ranges
Like a fiery torch
The washing hangs on the line
You hung me out to dry
Sure I had my day in court
Mr Knowsley knows why
Meltwater

It's taken forty-two years
For me to get to the point
I can feel the ice is melting
As I roll another joint
I'm a Johnny-come-lately
In my own home town
Go back to where you came from boy
But just don’t let it get you down
Meltwater

It's a long way from Crossmaglen
To Eketahuna to here
I raise my fist defiantly
Like the statue in Cross Square
Please don't let me have another year
Like the last
One long car crash
And I'm getting over it fast
Meltwater

It's time for us to spread our wings
And fly through the needle's eye
We'll have to hit it sideways boys
Or we'll surely die
I'll never change the way I feel
I love my crazy life
As long as I know you’re with me
I know I'll be alright
Meltwater
