Koroit

I don’t need no city lights no more
I don’t need to stay up through to dawn
We walk along the rail trail, I see the cows and the curly bails
I savour every breath like I’ve just been born

There’s the old brick station long since closed
There’s the skate park empty in the cold
Past Mickey Bourke’s where the guiness flows, between the banks where the weeds now grow
We wander to your home away from home

Bridge

Sometimes you think you’re on the road that you’ll follow to the end
But then the road just drops away and you teeter on the edge
We stared into that blackest night but the kindness of a friend
Helped our stranded hearts to love again

Walking with the dogs to Tower Hill
Once I planted trees there they grow there still
You’ve planted roots here all your own, you’ve felt the southern seawinds blow
We stand and watch the southern ocean glow

Chorus

Walking in Koroit in the wintertime x 2
I’m never cold with you here by my side

You found your own way to this town,

---

Past the Saint’s home ground league leaders still
Past the gardens green and calm, talking freely arm in arm
There was a time Koroit was near my home
I moved away and

Lying in

The butcher and the baker

Walking as the day comes to an end
Staying in the country with you
Taking time for sorrow and kindness from a friend Can help two broken hearts to love again

Walking as the day comes to an end
Death can break your heart
Any heart can break with luck they mend
Taking time for sorrow and kindness from a friend
Has helped two broken hearts to love again
