When The Snow Falls On The Alice

(альбом: Hat Town - 1998)

I spent some time out in the canefields
I headed west to Lightning Ridge
I've seen every lonely roadhouse
From Charleville to Murray Bridge
I see your face in every shadow
I hear your voice upon the wind
The more I try to forget you
The more your memory rushes in

When the snow falls on the Alice and it floods at Tilberoo
When the Roper freezes over, that's when I'll stop loving you

Just like the end of the rainbow
You're always just out of reach
We parted in a moment
But I've been leaving you for years
So don't ask where I'm going
'Cause I won't know 'til I arrive
Though you're a thousand miles behind me
You're never far from my mind

When the snow falls on the Alice and it floods at Tilberoo
I'll lay my burden down, and my waiting will be through
Till then you'll find me on the highway just somewhere beyond the blue
When the Roper freezes over, that's when I'll stop loving you
