Lyrics 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
