On O'Mara's pub veranda it's nice to sit and lookĪs life goes round, this little town's a living history book. The old clock chimes the passing times of a little country town. If you close your eyes you'll see it - the gaslights' gentle glow,Īnd firelight on winter nights - a hundred years ago.Ĭhorus: Here's to this grand veranda as the sun goes rolling down. The clock strikes nine, the streetlamps shine – a quiet night in town. On O'Mara's pub veranda the velvet night comes down, Hear clinking jars in the rollicking bar - 100 years ago. If you close your eyes & listen you can hear the steamies blow, The old clock tower, the trees in flower, the town is at your feet. WORDS & MUSIC: PENNY DAVIES & ROGER ILOTTįrom O'Mara's pub veranda you can watch the busy street. Words & Music: PENNY DAVIES & ROGER ILOTT © 2006 Restless Music APRA/AMCOSīig fat greedy corporate cats aren't clever –Īnd if we don't speak we're up the creek. We've walked the road along with you, our daughters and our sons,Īnd as you take this giant step we're proud of what you've done. We helped you with your homework - now we let you drive the car. We read you books, we sang you songs, we watched for shooting stars, We played and played the whole day through - then put you off to sleep. We've walked with you and carried you up hills that were too steep, It's goodbye to your schooldays - tThe world is at your feet. Your schooldays done, the time has flown, it's time for you to fly.Ĭhorus: It's all the highs & lows you've surfed that make this moment sweet, You changed our lives, you filled our days, you've questioned “how” and “why”, You've made us laugh, you've made us cry, but mostly made us smile. It doesn't seem so long ago that you were just a child. Words: PENNY DAVIES, Music: ROGER ILOTT Copyright 2007 Restless Music APRA/AMCOS I loved our ship, I loved the sea, but now our trip was done,Īnd as Aurelia sailed away … a new life had begun. The scent of eucalyptus, blue smoke seen from afar, Next the Indian Ocean – old salts now on the foamĬrossing the equator, Christmas far from home.Ħ weeks at sea, long days of sun and nights of alien stars, Suez and then Aden – a long way to go yet. I'd never seen a sea so blue, or any foreign shore.Ī brilliant Port Said sunset, a palm tree silhouette, Standing by the rail all day, I drank in what I saw. Watched the washing drying in the Mediterranean breeze, We travelled ever southwards & we came to calmer seas, Sailing to Australia - halfway across the world.
