lyrics

She Was Young

Bm A
She was young 21 from Melbourne
Bm A
Saw an ad in the paper made the call
Bm A
Those few lines they beckoned her to London
G A Bm A
Without looking back she was gone gone gone
G A Bm
Without looking back she was gone

When the boat landed she was filled with wonder
London’s city lights had never shone so bright
She worked long and hard with the children
A job that would take her far and wide wide wide
A job that would take her far and wide

Skipping back and forth out of Geneva
Money’s gone her shoes were full of holes
She hitched a ride in a black Mercedes
Roaring down the icy winding road road road
Roaring down the icy winding road

She met a man one fine day in Munich
They’d grown up not so far apart
Talk about degrees of separation
It was the city of her Love love love
It was the city of her Love

She was young 21, she was a traveller
14 years abroad opened her eyes
It was a job that she got from the paper
One choice one call one chance that changed her life life life
It was a chance to change her life
