| 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 |
