Camooweal |
| Should ever I go back to Camooweal |
| 'Twould be in the spring when desert flowers bloom |
| Oh, the spinifex I know would still be there |
| And the desert pea would brighten up the gloom |
| Should ever I go back to Camooweal |
| One thing is sure I’d not be twenty-two |
| As if that day when I first wandered there |
| But mem’ries stay with me as mem’ries do |
| How fresh her mem’ry keeps for still I feel |
| The velvet softness of her auburn hair |
| And see again the moonbeams in her eyes |
| As I did so long ago when I was there |
| Youth called to youth in that now distant day |
| I did not heed, my heart did not reveal, |
| And now I know that love was born and lost |
| In that little border town of Camooweal |
| Oh, the long road beckoned on, my feet said go |
| To search beyond the hills for what I find |
| Although I’ve wandered far this sunburnt land |
| I’ve never found what I have left behind |
| Oh the burning fire of that other spring |
| Is now but ashes and the hurt won’t heal |
| Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar |
| So I think I’ll not go back to Camooweal |
| Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar |
| So I think I’ll not go back to Camooweal |
| No I think I’ll not go back to Camooweal |
