A song written by Eric Bogle<\/a>, it is a beloved love song in the genre.\u00a0 Cliff is well-known for this love song, although he doesn’t perform it as often as he once did; Joseph is also known for having presented this song in a rare moment or two.\u00a0 Eric is cited as having uttered that it is not exactly his favourite song and will sometimes cringe when requested to perform it, but most folk music lovers consider it a rare gem indeed!\u00a0 One for a quite evening rather than the raucous atmosphere of the bar in most cases!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The days of my life I’ve been quite self-contained.
\nI don’t feel much joy, but then I don’t feel much pain;
\nThere’s nothing as safe as a cold selfish heart;
\nBut now my defenses have been blasted apart,
\nBy the sweet core of life that does glow
\nIn my lady from Bendigo<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\n.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Speak to me, talk to me, tell me you love me.<\/em><\/strong>
\n.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Give my life purpose; show me the way.<\/em><\/strong>
\n.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Reach for me, touch me; give me your body,<\/em><\/strong>
\n.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0And as for tomorrow, we\u2019ll live it today.<\/em><\/strong>
\n.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Will you come when I call; will you go?<\/em><\/strong>
\n.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My lady from Bendigo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is your love song, and I wrote it for you;
\nThe words may sound simple, but you know they are true.
\nWhen I wrote them I meant them, and I mean them still
\nYou know that I love you and I always will.
\nAnd if you love me let it show
\nMy lady from Bendigo<\/p>\n

And if ever my lovin’ should cause you some pain,
\nJust think of this love song and listen again.
\nRemember the passion, think of the man;
\nRemember the heart that you held in your hand.
\nYour eyes say what I need to know,
\nMy lady from Bendigo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
