It surrounds me
Like a cloud of gold dust in the haze
I'm back in Sydney
Where the world makes much more sense today
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, steady as she goes
Time it is a diamond
Its size and shape unknown to me
I'm back here on my island
Where Joe told us that we should be
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, steady as she goes
'Cause this is my home
Where the sun beats down on a red earth town
But it still don't stop us
Home, where the oceans roar
And the open door of our neighbour's got us
Home, where the storm rolls in
And we raise a glass to the beauty of it
Home, where the harbours blue
I'm just passing through on my way to nowhere
Sunny days are better
'Cause I see your smile more frequently
But in any kind of weather
I'd rather you right next to me
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, steady as she goes
We could write it in a letter
Send it round the world
Who capture it on camera?
Before it slips away
We could tie it to the top line
But like a telescope she waits
To help you to discover
The truth you can create
'Cause this is my home
Where the sun beats down on a red earth town
But it still don't stop us
Home, where the oceans roar
And the open door of our neighbour's got us
Home, where the storm rolls in
And we raise a glass to the beauty of it
Home, where the harbours blue
I'm just passing through on my way to nowhere
(I've been trying to
But God only knows that it's harder for me sometimes
And another thing the colour of her love
Is only in black and white)
Da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da
Oh, steady as she goes
Oh, steady as she goes
Oh, steady as she goes
