Lyrics and translation Lee Kernaghan - Longreach

Longreach

He took the dirt road just out of Windorah
At last, he would hold her again
There was dust on the dashboard from too many miles
For so long she'd waited for him
Out there on that backroad his old GTS packed it in

And she won't make Longreach, no she won't make Longreach
It was too long and too far away, she won't make Longreach

She caught the taxi to Roma Street Station
She was leaving for Longreach that day
She'd promised to meet him, the time had slipped by and something inside her had changed
She stood on the platform and watched and the train pulled away

And she won't make Longreach, no she won't make Longreach
It was too long and too far away, she won't make Longreach

Well he flagged down a lift into Longreach, but her letter was already there
Alone in that empty hotel room, her words filled his heart with despair

(It)said she won't make Longreach, no she won't make Longreach
It was too long and too far away, she won't make Longreach
Longreach, Longreach, Longreach
She won't make Longreach, no she won't make Longreach
Something inside her had changed and she won't make Longreach
She won't make Longreach
(Too long and too far away, won't make Longreach)

Longreach

J’ai pris la route de terre juste après Windorah
Enfin, je te tiendrai à nouveau dans mes bras
Il y avait de la poussière sur le tableau de bord, tant de kilomètres parcourus
Tu m’as attendu si longtemps
Là-bas, sur cette route de campagne, ma vieille GTS a rendu l’âme

Et tu ne feras pas Longreach, non, tu ne feras pas Longreach
C’était trop long et trop loin, tu ne feras pas Longreach

Tu as pris un taxi pour la gare de Roma Street
Tu partais pour Longreach ce jour-là
Tu avais promis de me rencontrer, le temps s’est écoulé et quelque chose en toi a changé
Tu étais sur le quai et tu regardais le train partir

Et tu ne feras pas Longreach, non, tu ne feras pas Longreach
C’était trop long et trop loin, tu ne feras pas Longreach

J’ai fait signe à un conducteur pour me rendre à Longreach, mais ta lettre était déjà là
Seul dans cette chambre d’hôtel vide, tes mots ont rempli mon cœur de désespoir

(Elle) disait que tu ne feras pas Longreach, non, tu ne feras pas Longreach
C’était trop long et trop loin, tu ne feras pas Longreach
Longreach, Longreach, Longreach
Tu ne feras pas Longreach, non, tu ne feras pas Longreach
Quelque chose en toi a changé, et tu ne feras pas Longreach
Tu ne feras pas Longreach
(Trop long et trop loin, tu ne feras pas Longreach)
