Paul Kelly - From St Kilda To Kings Cross Lyrics
From St Kilda to Kings Cross is thirteen hours on a busI pressed my face against the glass and watched the white lines rushing pastAnd all around me felt like all inside meAnd my body left me and my soul went runningHave you ever seen Kings Cross when the rain is falling soft?I came in on the evening bus, form Oxford Street i cut acrossAnd if the rain dont fall too hard everything shinesJust like a postcardEverything goes on just the sameFair-weather friends are the hungriest friendsI keep my mouth well shut, i cross their open handsI want to see the sun go down from St Kilda esplanadeWhere the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hardI'd give you all of Sydney harbour (all that land, all that water)For that one sweet promenade
