Air Supply

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Peter Dawkins

Reach into your heart when you are near me
The answer lies at hand
Throw away all your fears of getting nowhere
For all your moves are planned
So don't spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru'
Just walk right inside and I'll be there
The answer lies there for you

Come, oh won't you come, someone is calling and no one else will do
Wake, from the dream in which you are falling
The answer lies there for you
So don't spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru'
Just walk right inside and I am sure the answer lies there for you
So don't spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru'
Just walk right inside and I am sure
The answer lies, the answer lies
The answer lies, there for you

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
