Out of the Blue (feat. Kaity Dunstan)

Out of the blue it all changed in an instant He was nineteen when she told him she was pregnant Barely out of high school, living in a small town Neither of 'em had a job or money in the bank He got work on the factory floor Struggling to make ends meet but she adored him Always in his corner when her parents started on her like "He won't ever amount to that much" The baby arrived, really they tried She said "let's do the best we can a day at a time" He started staying out all night getting drunk Convinced he couldn't deal with what he had, what he's done He lost his job and that was no surprise She said "I can't go on watching you destroy your life You need to get it together or I'm leaving with our kid" He said "It's probably best that you left", so she did So when you gonna learn It'll hit you hard Even if it hurts And it always does So when you gonna learn Let it in your heart We come together and fall apart Out of the blue my love Five years later and she's living in the city And she's severed all contact with her old life Her little girl's at school, she was working days Staying up late and studying through the night Out of the blue he called up and they talked He said he's got a job up north on fishing trawlers He hadn't touched a drink for two years, he'd been clean Plus he saved some money on the side inbetween He cleared his throat, made an awkward joke And asked "maybe I could come visit you both But only if you think it's alright I mean" She said she'd think about it, the next day she agreed So when you gonna learn It'll hit you hard Even if it hurts And it always does So when you gonna learn Let it in your heart We come together and fall apart Out of the blue my love Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue my love
