Queenstown

When I think back to that morning in Queenstown My heart starts to ache Sitting in the shade of the hire car Throwing stones into the lake We didn't know that life would throw A little more than we could take If I ever get back to Queenstown I won't make the same mistake Do you remember the water on our skin Cold as ice and sweet as gin? Drunk on love and life, yeah We drank the whole thing down I remember the soft summer air The golden sunlight in your hair Singing and laughing Driving the coast road down To Queenstown Do you remember that evening in Queenstown Walking down by the pier? Sun going down to the Piano Man And the moon shining down so clear Drinking wine and feeling fine Oh, and we had no idea If I ever get back to Queenstown I'll have one for you, my dear Do you remember the water that night Shimmering under the restaurant lights? Drunk on love and life, yeah We drank the whole thing down I remember the magic in the air The silver moonlight in your hair Making love And sleeping safe and sound In Queenstown Life moves fast, and years have past And I'm living on my own I see you now and again Through mutual friends But we know that bird has flown Sitting on the couch in this big old house And I've never felt so alone If I ever get back to Queenstown I might not make it home If I ever get back to Queenstown I might not come home --- Queenstown - Passenger
