Jericho Bay |
Every night, he comes home late |
And if she’s lucky he’ll just pass her by |
Every night, she sits and waits |
Though he never thought to ask her why |
Broken table in the kitchen, neighbours wake and listen |
He complains about the mess in the place |
In the morning she’ll forgive him, think of any reason |
To forget about the state of her face |
She’s got a no return ticket on an overnight train |
As it pulls away from Jericho Bay |
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring |
As a souvenir of Jericho Bay |
Everyday, she counted the hours |
And the weeks she counted on the wall |
Everyday, just a little older |
Everyday just like the one before |
She never told her mother, never told her father |
Never wasted one single tear |
Her secret safely hidden, no word of explanation |
She packs her bag and closes the door |
She’s got a no return ticket on an overnight train |
As it pulls away from Jericho Bay |
She’s got a secondhand suitcase, her Sunday dress on |
And a photograph of Jericho Bay |
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring |
As a souvenir of Jericho Bay |
And she can hear the rails singing, way up to the moon |
Hanging yellow over Jericho bay |
And she’ll never be back again |
