Finding Our Way Back Aotearoa
Verse
The loads of lovers left on Southland’s highways,
Working just to keep the roof on tight.
Norwest winds turned evening into silence,
And tired hearts found solitude in sight.
Pre Chorus
The arguments destroy the love of daylight,
The bills and pressure cloud the sunny days.
But even through the drizzle on the window,
I feel your love a calling through the haze.
Chorus
Let’s leave the pain of yesterday behind us,
Let’s play within the sunshine and the hay.
Let’s live each day with gentle acts of kindness,
And find the love again as lovers play.
Verse 2
The weight of life feels heavy on our shoulders,
The little things grow into mountains grey.
We never meant to let the distance find us,
But love got lost and lonely on the way.
Pre Chorus
The arguments destroy the love of daylight,
The bills and pressure cloud the sunny days.
But even through the drizzle on the window,
I feel your love a calling through the haze.
Chorus
Let’s leave the pain of yesterday behind us,
Let’s play within the sunshine and the hay.
Let’s live each day with gentle acts of kindness,
And find the love again as lovers play.
Love is like a raindrop in a fountain,
Just a drop the river washed away.
But love can bloom again in summer sunshine,
And keep the clouds of heavy loads at bay.
Final Chorus
Let’s leave the pain of yesterday behind us,
Let’s play within the sunshine and the hay.
Let’s live each day with gentle acts of kindness,
And find the love again as lovers play.
Yeah, find the love again as lovers play.
