29 Oct 96 - 01:12 AM (#190) Subject: RE: Lyric rqst: Eric Bogul's From: Rob Hayes rob_hayes@hotmail.com No, that line I wrote (That's why every...) is definitely the chorus. In fact, the first verse is: They say the heart's a lonely hunter always searching for a home In every soul there is a hunger to find the place where it belongs I came to this land as a stranger year by year the deep love grew Chorus That's why every road I travel leads always back to you I managed to transcribe a couple of verses off of a hideous recording I made while driving. The song is all about Eric's love of Australia. |

29 Oct 96 - 11:54 PM (#201) Subject: RE: Lyric rqst: Eric Bogul's From: Alex Sorry, I looked through nine Bogle albums, a songbook and a hideous Aussie TV Video in which Eric introduces a female vocalist and then interviews her. As far as I could ascertain, her hooters were her best asset, but I still can't find the song. Maybe some other Bogle fans can help. |

I am not sure if Eric Bogle wrote that 'Canadian version' too though the CD noted the song as "Writen by Eric Bogle". Does anyone has the lyrics and/or more infornation about this version? |
