Everybody can't be heroes, |
|
But some can still try, |
|
To make their lives a little different |
|
Before the time it goes by, |
|
Now I live up around the north shore in a room with no view, |
|
Every morning on that ferry, my view is filled with you. |
|
I'm gonna let my heart take me away, |
|
I'm gonna jump a little further everyday, |
|
I'm gonna let my heart take me away, |
|
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay. |
|
She's there every single morning with about a hundred more, |
|
They watch as I come a-runnin', they all know the score, |
|
I always like to be the last one so I jump as she pulls away, |
|
The gap gets a little bit wider the longer I delay |
|
I'm gonna let my heart take me away, |
|
I'm gonna jump a little further everyday, |
|
I'm gonna let my heart take me away, |
|
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay. |
|
I handle gemstones in the city, |
|
In a little lane off Australia square, |
|
I got one picked out for you that looks so pretty, |
|
But I got to make you notice that I'm there. |
|
Well I started to make the papers and people began to bet, |
|
Would I end up with the lady or would I just end up getting wet, |
|
Now I'm not gonna give you the answer, |
|
In oh so many words, |
|
But swimming in Sydney Harbour, |
|
You know is strictly for the birds. |
|
Tweet, tweet, for the birds ... |
|
I'm gonna let my heart take me away, |
|
I'm gonna jump a little further everyday, |
|
I'm gonna let my heart take me away, |
|
'cause I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay, |
|
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay. |
|
Long jump, long jumping jeweler, |
|
I live in Lavender Bay, |
|
Hear what I say, |
|
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay, |
|
long jumping jeweler ... (repeat) |
|
I live in Lavender Bay, long jumping jeweler. |
