Walking out along that windswept pier
Wind so cold, we were the only ones there
Altona’s flames glowed across the bay
Port Melbourne seemed no bigger than you and me
Summers lying on your unmown lawn
Wine and food and friends talking soft and warm
Lying naked on your lounge room floor
I remember thinking, I’d never felt so sure

Hey Maxine where are you now?
Say Maxine where are you now?
We’re all still here, and we’re all missing you now

Driving west in that old red car
We didn’t realise that Portland was so far
We played the same tape twenty times
We didn’t hear it, we were already too confined
Endless talks in hollow rooms
Doubts breed like flies until we’re consumed
Lost and broken in my concrete yard
A Melbourne night never seemed so black and hard

Hey Maxine where are you now?
Say Maxine where are you now?
We’re all still here, and we’re all missing you now

Drunk and ragged on St Kilda beach
Love and you just always out of reach
Sick and tired of being scared
I still remember all those time we shared
Here I am singing this distant song
You’re somewhere abroad I hope you find where you belong
I’m just staring at the Melbourne sky
Here’s hoping, we meet again sometime

Hey Maxine where are you now?
Say Maxine where are you now?
We’re all still here, and we’re all missing you now
