Lyrics
There’s a place that I know where the hills meet the clouds
And the mountains slumber long ‘neath an emerald shroud
There’s a shard of me there, forever at home
Resting down beneath the dirt and the stones
And when the day it is done and the sun’s going down
And traffic’s all stood still in this grey, lonely town
I might dream of a voice, delicate but true
Calling me to find my way back to you
Down an old country road there’s a river that flows
Where the breezes whistle low through the she-oaks and cane
I was too numb to know I was missing you so
Till I could feel my body breathe once again
There’s a house on the hill spilling light soft and warm
And a band of crickets shrill by the thicket of thorns
Where the bowerbird hides his treasury of prizes
Like the colour of the ocean and sky
Well it’s so good to see you and hold you again
But the passing of the years is a bittersweet pain
There’s a shadow inside, your kind and careworn eyes
Watching on as the days close in behind
Well I wish I could stay but I really must go
And leave you far behind, though it saddens me so
But I’ll whisper goodbye as I step on the train
So long until I see you again
So long until I see you again
Oh, so long
