Come Back Girl
|
[Verse]
In the outback dust just a kangaroo's leap
Dreams of footy fields where memories seep
Meat pies hot in the summer night heat
Holden cars rumbling down the empty street
[Chorus]
Come back again girl of girls
Stars shine bright in this southern world
Come back again girl of girls
Lost without you my mind's unfurled
[Verse]
Under the eucalyptus shadows we lie
Echoes of laughter in the clear blue sky
Barbie nights with mates by the fire's light
Faded photos holding on tight
[Chorus]
Come back again girl of girls
Stars shine bright in this southern world
Come back again girl of girls
Lost without you my mind's unfurled
[Bridge]
From Sydney's waves to the desert's night
Searching for something that'll make it right
Kookaburra laughs at the break of dawn
Just empty whispers since you've been gone
[Verse]
In the moonlit stillness of this great land
Walked with my dreams held in the sand
Heartbreak echoes in the outback's call
Miles apart yet I feel them all
In the moonlit stillness of this great land
Walked with my dreams held in the sand
Heartbreak echoes in the outback's call
Miles apart yet I feel them all
