The kangaroo tail glints in the sun
Mascots smell sweeter than eucalypt gum
I'm coming home to Blue Hills
lasted as long as my youth
I never was one to quit early
But the miles of white lines
I'm coming home to Blue Hills
So many places I wanted to know
So many places I happen to see
Ended up thinking of you and me
I wish all my friends could
It's what I can't tell them just,
Masses of red roofs in early sunlight
Out of the gullies, red wings of the fire
I've seen walls and dark places,
The jewels and junkyards,
And the satellite salesmen's
I'm coming home to Blue Hills
So many places I wanted to know
So many places I happened to see
Waiting till I got back across
Yes, I dreamed of the sandstone cliffs
Longed for the white cradle
In the arms of my sweet love
Coming home to Blue Hills
It's a journey that's lasted
The light on the hill picks me up,
I'm coming home to Blue Hills
Coming home to Blue Hills
