They met in the summer of 1958
A ho metown girl
with stars in her eyes
He came from out of town
to work in the mill
She found what
she was looking for
and he found a wife
She still remembers those good old days
Nights filled with laughter
and friends
Drives in the country
and nights at the cinema
She still remembers but he,
he seems to forget
He's sitting at the bar
of the railway hotel
He's sitting with his mates all alone
She's sitting in the kingswood
with a cigarette in hand
She waits and remembers
all they hoped it would be
The church bells echoed
over town that day
They both felt the future looked bright
She still hears those church bells
every Sunday morning
It's all that is left of their dream s,
they're just heckled away
He's sitting at the bar
of the railway hotel
He's sitting with his mates all alone
She's sitting in the kingswood
with a cigarette in hand
She waits and remembers
all they hoped it would be
The railway that brought her man is closed
The flour mill is boarded and still
She's mourning a friendship
that slid through her fingers
They took it for granted they'd be happy
But I guess they were wrong
He's sitting at the bar
of the railway hotel
He's sitting with his mates all alone
She's sitting in the kingswood
with a cigarette in hand
She waits and remembers
all they hoped it would be
She remembers all she hoped
it would be
You
