From St Kilda To Kings Cross Lyrics - Paul Kelly

From St Kilda to Kings Cross is thirteen hours on a bus 

I pressed my face against the glass and watched the white lines rushing past 

And all around me felt like all inside me 

And my body left me and my soul went running 

Have you ever seen Kings Cross when the rain is falling soft? 

I came in on the evening bus, from Oxford Street I cut across 

And if the rain don't fall too hard 

Everything shines just like a postcard 

Everything goes on just the same 

Fair-weather friends are the hungriest friends 

I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands

I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda Esplanade 

Where the beach needs reconstruction, 

where the palm trees have it hard 

I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water) 

For that one sweet promenade 

I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water) 

For that one sweet promenade
