June - Laura Jean

In Melbourne when the days start to turn cold

They cover up the strip and put up the goals

When I go down the Penders Park, then only people about

Are dragged there by their children and their dogs

My kelpie doesn’t tire as easily

As in the summer months down by the creek

Spurred on by the icy cold, he runs until his heart explodes

In Melbourne when the days start to turn cold

Now I have a song to sing

Between May and Augustine

June jewel of the night I wait for September each

My sister and my oldest friend

Were born a year apart on June four plus ten

They’re up north in New South Wales, up the Hume I’ll make a trail

We’ll all be together again

Darling this time last year

I was drowning in an ocean of tears

This winter is much more fun, Venus went across the sun

I’ve been in love for a hundred years

Now I have a song to sing

Between May and Augustine

June jewel of the night I wait for September each
