Thomas William "Tom" Roberts (9 March 1856 – 14 September 1931) was a prominent Australian artist and a key member of the Heidelberg School.
Born in Dorchester, Dorset, England, where his parents were newspaper editors, Roberts migrated with his family to Australia in 1869. Settling in Collingwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, he worked as a photographer's assistant through the 1870s while studying art at night under Louis Buvelot and befriending others who were to become prominent artists, notably Frederick McCubbin. He returned to England for three years of full-time art study at the Royal Academy Schools from 1881 to 1884.
Through the 1880s and 1890s he worked in Victoria, in his studio at the famous studio complex of Grosvenor Chambers at 9 Collins Street in Melbourne, and at a number of artists' camps and visits around the colony. He married 35 year old Elizabeth (Lillie) Williamson in 1896, and they had a son, Caleb. Many of his most famous paintings come from this period. Roberts was an expert maker of picture frames, and during the period 1903-1914, when he painted relatively little, much of his income apparently came from this work.
Before the fools
Before this crazy life
Before you grew into a rusty knife
There was just me and you right at the start
Nothing back in those days could keep us apart
Something has changed it was like a hand on the clock
And now I don't know how to stop
I felt you there
Walking on moonlight
Your perfect face
Not much to fill
I want to care
But it's hard when you don't try
You'll never see
What you could have been
Beneath the stars
Over the frozen ice
You advance like a God
Each movement is so precise
But of all the crazy dumb things that we did
All of the dares we took as invincible kids
Nothing would leave a mark
Not even a scar
What have you done to fall so far?
I felt you there
Walking on moonlight
Your perfect face
Not much to fill
I want to care
But it's hard when you don't try
You'll never see
What you could have been
There was just me and you
Right at the start
What have you done to fall so far?
I felt you there
Walking on moonlight
Your perfect face
Not much to ...
I want to care
But it's hard when you don't try
You'll never know
All of my time just wasted thoughts.
Trying to make sense of this pain you've brought.
But much of this world seems all too sure.
So happy to know what they're waiting for.
Oh beautiful view
They say you are the dream come true.
Beautiful view.
Why am I afraid of you?
Good-bye to the memories I adore.
And for the last time they're all before me.
All the friends I've made,
and the friends I've lost.
Oh beautiful view
They say you are the dream come true.
Beautiful view.
Why am I afraid of you?
Beautiful view.
If all lies have a bitter truth,
beautiful view,
why should I believe in you?
Good-bye to the memories I adore.
All the friends I've made,
and the ones I've lost.
Oh beautiful view
They say you are the dream come true.
Beautiful view.
Then why am I afraid of you?
Beautiful view.
If all lies have a bitter truth,
beautiful view,
