Sydney From A 727 Lyrics - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom) 

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? 

Sydney shines such a beautiful light 

And I can see Bondi through my window way off to the right 

And the curling waves on a distant break 

And the sleeping city just about to wake 

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? 

Now the red roofs are catching the first rays of the morning sun 

My eyes are full of sand from my midnight run 

And the captain says belt up now we'll be touching down in ten 

So I press my seat and I straighten up 

I fold my tray and I stash my cup 

As the red roofs are catching the first rays of the morning sun 

Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes? 

And sent her letters full of lies 

Have you ever longed to see the sun fall where it used to rise? 

And quit your job on the spot 

Bought that ticket yeah spent the lot 

Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes? 

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? 

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? 

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? 

Me I've never seen Dallas from a DC9
