The Australian Night - Steve Kilbey

Been away so long

Long ago when I met you

And it felt so wrong

But I couldn’t forget you

I was lonely

And I missed your light

I was lonely

In the Australian night

In the Australian night

In the Australian night

And I traveled so far

But there was something about you

Then they made me a star

But I was nothing without you

I was lonely

And I missed your light

I was lonely

In the Australian night

In the Australian night

In the Australian night

Aeroplanes and photographs

Summer days we played for laughs

Dressing up and dressing down

Driving 'round and 'round this town

Aimed for the moon (and you)

You might hit the stars

Now I’m back to stay (I'm back to stay)

And I would never desert you

With you every day (in every way)

And I could never hurt you

'Cause I was lonely

And I missed your light

I was lonely

In the Australian night

In the Australian night

In the Australian night
