Baby Blue Bicycle

(앨범: Meanjin - 2022)

I miss my mum, I haven't
Seen her in months, I think about
That Queenslander on the hill
My neighbour Dot, she used to
Tell me all the goss until one
Day her granddaughter said she was ill

I cried a swimming pool of tears
When I found out she died
Yeah, the day that she died

Oh, I wish that I had a baby blue bicycle
And I'd ride it back to you
I wish that I had a baby blue bicycle
Yeah, there is room for you too

Two days ago, I took the
Long way down that road so I could
Pass the place I used to call home
The fence my uncle built to
Stop old Rosie moseying
Around the neighbours who gave her food

I cried a swimming pool of tears
When I found out she died
The day that she died

Oh, I wish that I had a baby blue bicycle
I'd ride it back to you
I wish that I had a baby blue bicycle
Yeah, well there is room for you too

Oh, I wish that I had a baby blue bicycle
I'd ride it back to you
Oh, I wish that I had a baby blue bicycle
Yeah, there's room for you too
