From St. Kilda to Kings Cross
Is 13 hours on a bus
I press my face against the glass
Watch the white lines rushing past
All around me felt like all inside me
And my body left me
And my soul went running
Have you ever seen Kings Cross
When the rain is falling soft?
I came in on the evening bus
From Oxford Street I cut across
And if the rain don't fall too hard
Everything shines just like a postcard
Everything goes on just the same
Fair-weather friends are the hungriest friends
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands
ย
I wanna see the sun go down
From St. Kilda Esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction
Where the palm trees have it hard
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
All that land and all that water
For that one sweet promenade
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
All that land and all that water
For that one sweet promenade
ย
Ah, ah, ah, ah, only you can do it
Ah, ah, ah, ah, only you can do it
Ah, ah, ah, ah
