Icehouse - Jericho Bay Lyrics
And if she's lucky he'll just pass her byEvery night, she sits and waitsThough he never thought to ask her whyBroken table in the kitchen, neighbours wake and listenHe complains about the mess in the placeIn the morning she'll forgive him, think of any reasonTo forget about the state of her faceShe's got a no return ticket on an overnight trainAs it pulls away from Jericho BayShe leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ringAs a souvenir of Jericho BayEveryday, she counted the hoursAnd the weeks she counted on the wallEveryday, just a little olderEveryday just like the one beforeShe never told her mother, never told her fatherNever wasted one single tearHer secret safely hidden, no word of explanationShe packs her bag and closes the doorShe's got a no return ticket on an overnight trainAs it pulls away from Jericho BayShe's got a secondhand suitcase, her Sunday dress onAnd a photograph of Jericho BayShe leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ringAs a souvenir of Jericho BayAnd she can hear the rails singing, way up to the moonHanging yellow over Jericho bayAnd she'll never be back again.
