>From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines
rushing past
And all around me felt like all inside me
And my body left me and my soul went running
Have you ever seen king's 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
Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands
| | X2
I want to 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, all that water,
for that one sweet promenade.
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
All that land, all that water,
for that one sweet promenade.
