I've been,
Peering out a window,
Trying to find an arrow,
To fire into the rain,
Well you were,
Hidden by the shadows,
Trying to find your way home,
And shelter from the rain,
And I felt close to you,
As you came in to my view,
Hold on for one more year then maybe,
These skies will start to clear,
We can build our love on middle ground,
'Cause I've been,
Walking up the wrong way,
Stranded on a freeway,
Trying to find a lane,
Well you were,
Guarded by the main frame,
Riding in a fast lane,
Too involved to change,
And I felt far from you,
As you slipped out from my view,
Hold on for one more year then maybe,
These skies will start to clear,
We can build our love on middle ground,
Hold on for one more year then maybe,
These paths will lead us here,
We can build our love on middle ground,
'Cause I don't want no one else,
But I have brought this on myself,
'Cause I don't want no one else,
But I have brought this on myself,
Myself,
'Cause I've been,
Peering out a window,
Trying to find an arrow,
And if we hold on for one more year then maybe,
These skies will start to clear,
We can build our love on middle ground,
Middle ground, middle ground, middle ground...

I love this song! Heard it first in 2013-14. Listening to it again in 2023. Please give a like so that i come back again!
10 years! I still love this song and it’s been ten years of telling people I will be having this played at my funeral. I can’t adequately express how good this song is 😳😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏‼️
good onya Nescafe giving this song the attention it deserves
Mark,
Do Australia a favor and apply for THE VOICE
We need to all hear you
as wonderful as his voice is, id be best if he didnt... contracts for these talent shows are barely borderline legal, and not to mention that successful and talented singers can get forced down the rabbit hole of having to prioritise making loads of money (which he probably wont even get most of) over good music.
Who is here 2024, here I'm listening to this beautiful song after 11 years❤
I am! I saw Mark perform live many times in Sydney before we left to live in a small town. He is a great talent.
Who else found this song of the aussie nes Cafe add, one of my favourite
This guy is probably the best singer i have ever seen!! I saw him at the rocks markets in darling harbour and now i hear him on a NESCAFE ad!! This is talent!! What a great voice!!! Congratulations Mark!! :D
Thanks for posting Lisa, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the music :)
Your performence on rtl late night was amazing!
Nescafe has made this song popular and so it should be, great song well done.
Heard this song like 3 days ago and I've been crying everytime I listen to it.It's the most beautiful,perfect,natural song I've heard.NEW FAVOURITE SONG.LOVE IT!
Yep, will be playing at The Ellington on Sat Sept 7 - hope you can make it!
Been in love with this song for 8years
I saw him singing in Sydney two days ago. I had never heard him before, as I'm french. My ears fell in love directly.
Love this song, I also thought this was Tracey Chapman, marvellous voice.
Seen this guy playing down the rocks in Sydney yesterday, absolutely amazing!!!!
Love it! My Friend Erna in Aussie told me about you! So beautyful! Thanx Mark for making it and Thanx Erna for telling me about it.
Hope they hear about it in Holland I Tell everybody!!!!!!!

Surprising what a Nescafe ad can reveal. So glad I saw the ad again. Amazing song Mark.

so glad they put this on their ad :D. Just found a great artist.
Mate. One day you will pop. You are one of the best I have heard and I am nearly 50. Keep up the great work champ.
This song is so large and quiet. Beautiful and amazing use of your God given talent!
Saw Mark on the Rtl late night show this evening and has found me and I believe many other dutch viewers as new fans.

My sister texted me your name and the name of the song and said I had to listen. Man she was RIGHT. Wish you every success mate, you have a real talent and you deserve to have it recognised.
I've been trying to find this song for ages!! Love it! Can we buy more of your music??
I first heard mark play at the rocks markets Sydney when I was on holidays and I thought this guy is awesome and how is he not a superstar already. I bought his live cd and was blown away, then I was watching tv and recognised his voice instantly on the Nescafe ad and could not believe it.
Hi Yianna, guitar tab just added - check out the video description for a link :)
Nescafe brought me here lol
Thanks Lauren, and a link to the chords has just been added :)
at least theres something good about Nescafe then coz the coffee sucks! Great song though ;) weird thing is i thought this sounded like Tracy Chapman.
I have never felt so humbled in my entire life. I am a New Zealander. But I am happy to say, Thank You Australia for producing a brilliant Artist like this. I must say, you create some beautifully talented musicians. :) 1 Love
Thanks for your post Vanessa, I'm glad you like it!
This is the clip for this song - take it or leave it...
There is something about this guys passion for this track that it doesn't really need any further imagery...
There's something about this guy singing completely from the heart...
No defenses no "clip" to hide behind.
Its kinda haunting... I can hear the story and it makes me kinda sad....
YES! hahahaha, heard the song on the Nescafe ad and listened closely to a couple of lyrics, typed them into google and came to this video!
But seriously, this song has instantly just hit me right home. It's beautiful, passionate, the way he sings it is amazing and just flows amazingly. I love it!! Could listen to it forever. It just takes me to somewhere un-imaginable.
Fantastic track mate. Just caught the latest Nescafe ad on TV this morning here in NZ...and before that, your name, and music were a complete unknown. I'm sure your voice has been compared to Tracy Chapman's...but that's a compliment...and i look forward to hearing more from you... Hope we get to see you in NZ some time soon...
I originally heard this song on the Nescafe ad and from the moment I heard those few lines I thought to myself "who is this?" It makes the ad so beautiful. I'm glad I looked you up because your music's amazing. Wish I lived closer to Geelong or Thornbury because I'd love to go to one of your gigs. Hopefully sometime in the near future :)
You are the perfect modern twist between Cat Stevens and Jeff Buckley. Your voice just grabs you instantly, it is incredible. I have been searching for someone like you for my wedding, sadly you don't live in Brisbane and your touring during August. I really wish you all the best with your music. May the world hear your voice.
The Nescafe ad brought me here. As soon as I heard it, I fell in love with your voice. What amazing talent you have. I'm not going to drink the gross concoction they try to market as coffee, but nevertheless, they have introduced me to a wonderful local talent. Will most definitely be investigating buying your music.
As per the masses (it seems), I shazam'd the song on the Nescafe ad :)
I'm also a muso, and we actually have similar styles... so I'm ashamed that I've never heard you before. This is currently my FAVOURITE song, and I just bought your album from your website. Great song, I can feel a lot of Tracy Chapman influence in your style.
Oh Mark your voice is so beautiful....and this song is exquisite. I actually look forward to the Nescafe ad...just to hear this. Just HAD to google it. Will you be in Brisbane any time soon? I want to see you live! I hope you get the success you deserve. You're amazing x
Wow an ad about coffee got me here. I heard this amazing song coming from my tele. So i rushed over with shazam to discover this beautiful human being and his gift of singing. This song is brilliant and I'm hooked on Mark's music. Hoping to see him in Noosa in a few months.
Beautiful song Mark. Like a lot of people have mentioned, have seen the Nescafe ad and it brought me here to you tube to see who this amazing artist is. I'm so glad I found you! I will be buying your album for sure, am so looking forward to listening to more of your beautiful voice.
Great song Mark, looking forward to seeing you live in Melbourne next time you are there
I just bought a hard copy of your album with middle ground on it
Just wondering if i can purchase the instrumental track on MP3 for middle ground.
thanks
I'll be honest nescafe is the reason I found this ( googled some lyrics from ad ) but I'm glad it did.
This song is simple but raw so it conveys so much. It has been a blessing listening to this song and lets face it love is about a lot of middle ground.
ive been listening to Mark for over a year now ... and i have to say ........ persistence paid off .... it was only time before you got the lime light you deserve ...... have always been watching and cant wait too see and hear more
Same as most of the comments here.....I kept telling my son 'I've heard this great song on a Nescafe add' - Then Shazam and here I am :-) Really love this song and your voice. Fantastic....just don't know why I haven't heard of you till now.
Love your voice Mark. Thanx Nescafe and Shazam, you will go really far you deserve so many more subscribers and publicity than you currently have, but be strong and stay on the music pathway. Im a new subscriber and will be telling all my friends about you.
you remind me of a mixture of james morrison, paolo nutini, jason mraz and ed sheeran, with your own unique touch. In all honestly I cried the first time I heard this, you're an amazing artist. I hope you gain the recognition you deserve, goodluck!
saw this on Nescafe and immediately fell inlove with this song been searching for you, i found you and made me fall more inlove with you :3 never give up
Haha Another one who took down the lyrics of the nescafe add. !! Beautiful song , wonderful voice. I keep asking why do producers electronically distort voices when there are some many fabulous human voices out there. ??
When I watched the Nescafe advertisement on television I kept wondering who that singer was? I have never heard of you before Mark Wilkinson, but I love your voice and I will be listening to you from now on.
I really have never been touched by an artist like I have you. I cry every time I hear this song... Your voice is so beautiful I will definitely be at the Ellington in September :-) amazing
Heard this on the Nescafe ad and I had to replay it just to type in the lyrics on youtube so I could find this song. Worth all the effort
is he a youtuber or an artist with producer and management?
this seems to be an obscure song for nescafe to have chosen but it is very beautiful
im wondering how they came by it
Ok few quick things I've just learnt -
Shazam. Greatest app ever.
Nescafe. With ads like that I'm switching coffee brand.
This song... crying. Your voice is honestly beautiful!!!
This is so beautiful...I want the lyrics.... how can I get it?
You should be famous! Your voice and music is amazing!!
Playing guitar with song really showcase a singers voice as compared to loud base music that often drown the singer. Beautiful song and artist :-) Mark Wilkinson Fan ;-)
amazing voice, cant believe i never heard this awesome voice before the commercial ad for coffee, fantastic voice well done, god bless you, its acutally Mariese oxox
You are going to be huge, and know you will remain humble and unaffected. That is you beauty with such a haunting and expressive voice. Look forward to hear you in person.
Can't wait to get my ticket to see you! Discovered your music yesterday through my big sister, been on repeat ever since and a group of 15 of us are gonna come see you!
Saw him in concert in Canberra in August, he sang this song also, makes me cry whenever I hear it, its beautiful, mind you I love all his music, touches the heart
Thank You Nescafe!!! Have been in Aus 5 years - Cannot believe I've only discovered Mark Wilkinson now! (and missed his Perth Tour... aaaaaaGHR!!)
New fan xx
could have used a pop filter on the mic and taken the buzz out of the guitar by doing custom repairs but its a great great song and it has beautiful lyrics
OMG!!! I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG!!! i was cooking then i heard this song on the nescafe ad and i was in love
the thing about this song is it feels as though you have heard it somewhere in your past or you feel formiliar with it, like its an old friend. just love it
When i saw the Nescafe commercial..I fell in love with the music and have to find and will buy his album now.... I just love it ...... I drink Nescafe anyway ..
Awesome voice and song!!! Looks like everyone came here thanks to Nescafe......lol. Advertising definitelly works. Really great song, my fav at the moment :)
Thanks Nescafe for introducing so many to this ad and for replying to my e-mail about it. Makes me cry every time I hear it. Miss my Father so much ox
I think I'm like the only person here who doesn't watch tv enough to have seen him on an ad? hahah. I found him via itunes in the song writer section :)
GAHAHAHAHA ALL OF US ARE HERE FROM THE NESCAFE COMMERCIAL... i bet you all typed in "hold on for one more year baby nescafe commercial" in google :'D
I heard your voice in this ad on the tv after seeing you in Sydney and nearly fell over. It was definitely fate to have found your music.....stunning.
Please, Please PLEASE come over to NZ!! You are so talented - on the hunt for all for CDs. Guess I might have to hop over the ditch to catch your show!!
I sincerely hope you get the recognition you deserve. This is unadulterated talent. I could listen forever, thank you so much for sharing your talent
