|
They met in the summer of 1958,
|
A hometown girl with stars in her eyes
|
He came from out of town to work in the mill,
|
She found what she was looking for
|
And he, he found a wife.
|
|
She still remembers those good old days
|
Nights filled with laughter and friends
|
Drives in the country
|
Nights at the cinema
|
She still remembers
|
But he, he seems to forget
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
He¡¯s sitting at the bar of the Railway Hotel,
|
He¡¯s sitting with his mates, all alone
|
She¡¯s sitting in the Kingswood with a cigarette in hand
|
She waits
|
And remembers all they hoped it would be
|
|
The church bells echoed over town that day
|
They both felt the future looked bright
|
She still hears those church bells every Sunday morning
|
They¡¯re all that is left of their dreams they just echoed away....
|
|
The railway that brought her her man is closed,
|
The flour mill is boarded and still
|
She¡¯s mourning a friendship that slipped through her fingers
|
They took it for granted they¡¯d be happy,
|
But I guess they were wrong....
|
|
She remembers all they hoped it would be
|
|
