Long Jumping Jeweller Lyrics - Little River Band

Everybody can't be heroes but some can still try 

To make their lives a little different 

Before the time it goes by 

Now I live up around the north shore 

In a room with no view 

Every morning on that ferry, my view is filled with you 

I'm gonna let my heart take me away 

I'm gonna jump a little further every day 

I'm gonna let my heart take me away 

I'm the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay 

She's there every single morning 

With about a hundred more 

They watch as I come a runnin', they all know the score 

I always like to be the last one 

So I jump as she pulls away 

The gap gets a little bit wider the longer I delay 

I'm gonna let my heart take me away 

I'm gonna jump a little further every day 

I'm gonna let my heart take me away 

I'm the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay 

I handle gemstones in the city 

In a little lane off Australia square 

I got one picked out for you that looks so pretty 

But I got to make you notice that I'm there 

Well, I started to make the papers 

And people began to bet 

Would I end up with the lady 

Or would I just end up getting wet? 

Now I'm not gonna give you the answer 

In, oh, so many words 

But swimming in Sydney Harbor 

You know is strictly for the birds 

Tweet, tweet, for the birds 

I'm gonna let my heart take me away 

I'm gonna jump a little further every day 

I'm gonna let my heart take me away 

'Cause I'm the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay 

I'm the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay 

Long jump, long jumping jeweller 

I live in Lavender Bay, hear what I say 

I'm the long jumping jeweller of Lavender Bay 

Long jumping jeweller, long jumping jeweller 

I live in Lavender Bay, long jumping jeweller
