lyrics

it wasn't love at first light, but as they were leaving the disco he’d impressed her alright, with his talk of the sea about which he knew many things, he’d got his doctorate in cisco so she’d said how about studying herring for breakfast with me? and hobart had hope for this one, it did everything for her. there were markets and mountains and moons rising on sandy bay. five days of laughing in the sun ‘til the good ship aurora would sail him away so he suddenly needed to say. i’ll see you in the spring when the ice so wide between us melts into the mighty southern sea. i’ll be on the first boat home ‘neath the guiding light of venus just to see you in the spring if you’ll see me. but she was less than impressed by his pledge of devotion ‘coz she wasn’t looking for love over distance or time. oh but as she watched the boat sailing away, ‘til there was only the ocean, those words that he said, they started to work on her mind. and then hobart got cold and wet and dull, as if to force her decision. and sure enough by the late august she knew where she lay. and she was speeding down the road to kingston down to the australian antarctic division to found out how to send what she needed to say. and so they said he’re y’are fill out this fax and she wrote i’ll see you in the spring when the ice so wide between us melts into the mighty southern sea. so be on the first boat home, ‘neath the guiding light of venus and i'll see you in the springtime here with me. he was out on the ice doing seal observation when they radioed him that a fax from a girl had arrived and was speeding back to base on the brand new skidoo when he suddenly lost concentration. the search party members couldn’t believe he survived. but if you look at him now, you might think he's just sleeping there in that southern most surgery in the whole world. but he's watching a faint little star that is guiding him back to a safe keeping and he’s hearing his words on the voice of a beautiful girl. i’ll see you in the spring when the ice so wide between us melts into the mighty southern sea so be on the first boat home, ‘neath the guiding light of venus and i'll see you in the springtime here with me.

about

the cashews Canberra, Australia

The Cashews are contemporary acoustic nuts.

They describe their music as original indie-folk because acoustic-brain-pop is too challenging a category for most people to comprehend.

Quirky, catchy, melodious, grounded original songs with a lingering social conscience. ... more
