lyrics

HE FOUND HER AT THE TAB IN PASCOE VALE

PLACING BETS ON A COLD, GRIM AFTERNOON

ROYAL RANDWICK, MOONEY VALLEY AND EAGLE FARM

WINS AND PLACES, EACH WAY BETS, THE SAME OLD TUNE

THE NIGHT BEGINS THE STARS ALIGN THEIR WORLDS COLLIDE

BOTH GAZING AT THE SCREEN ACROSS THE ROOM

ALSO RANS, SQUANDERED CASH, THEY CATCH A TRAM

CLUTCHING TICKETS BY A BRUISED AND BATTERED MOON

HOW COULD THEY KNOW THEY WOULD MEET?

HE SANG VERDI TO HER LATE THAT NIGHT

AND SPOKE OF DREAMS BY CANDLELIGHT
HE’D PAWNED HIS FATHER’S VIOLIN

WHEN HE LEFT HIS WORLD HE LOST HIS KIN

TO SAIL UNTO THIS DISTANT LAND

IT’S BIG BLUE SKIES, THE SUN AND SAND

HE LEFT BEHIND THE WORLD HE KNEW

IT’S ANCIENT STREETS, THE SEA SO BLUE

FIRST HE LOST HIS JOB, THEN HE LOST HIS FRIENDS

THEN HE LOST HIMSELF TO WINE AND GIN

DREAMS FADE AWAY AND HOPE RUNS DRY

UNTIL TODAY, UNTIL TONIGHT

HOW COULD THEY KNOW THAT THEY WOULD MEET?

NOW THEY’RE LIVING BACK IN HIS HOMETOWN OF VIESTE

ON THE COAST OF THE ADRIATIC SEA

AND ALL IT TOOK WAS THAT LAST RACE

A MOMENT IN A TIME AND PLACE

HER OPEN HEART AND BRAVE BIG DREAMS

NO LAKE OF TEARS, NO MISERY

A CHANCE ENCOUNTER, A CONVERSATION

EQUINE DREAMING, THIS ABERRATION

LONGING FOR THEIR HORSE TO WIN

YEARNING FOR THE RACE TO END

HOW COULD THEY KNOW THAT THEY WOULD MEET?
