Longreach

(专辑： Hat Town - 1998)

He took the dirt road just out of Windorah
At last, he would hold her again
There was dust on the dashboard from too many miles
For so long she'd waited for him
Out there on that backroad his old GTS packed it in

And she won't make Longreach
No she won't make Longreach
It was too long and too far away
She won't make Longreach

She caught the taxi to Roma Street Station
She was leaving for Longreach that day
She'd promised to meet him, the time had slipped by and something inside her had changed
She stood on the platform and watched as the train pulled away

And she won't make Longreach
No she won't make Longreach
It was too long and too far away
She won't make Longreach

Well he flagged down a lift into Longreach
But her letter was already there
Alone in that empty hotel room
Her words filled his heart with despair

Said she won't make Longreach
No she won't make Longreach
It was too long and too far away
She won't make Longreach
Longreach, Longreach, Longreach
She won't make Longreach
No she won't make Longreach
Something inside her had changed and she won't make Longreach
She won't make Longreach

Too long and too far away, won't make Longreach
