INTRO verse 1 Sons and daughters leaving Going far away See them sadly waving Wishing they could stay All they see about them Darkness and decay Sons and daughters leaving Going far away verse 2 Job in South Australia Out along a bay House with half an acre Mortgage they can pay Sandy beach and blue sky Safe for children’s play Job in South Australia Out along a bay Letting go the children Telling them goodbye See you in the summer Yes, I know you’ll try A better life for certain Break the bonds that tie Letting go the children Telling them goodbye verse 4 Should have gone in ‘80 Things were different then Now you’re so much older Couldn’t start again Smile and say it’s alright That was way back when Should have gone in ‘80 Things were different then Letting go the children Telling them goodbye See you in the summer Yes, I know you’ll try A better life for certain Break the bonds that tie Letting go the children Telling them goodbye VERSE 5 So you’re on your own now That’s the way life goes Home’s too big and empty Bid for bungalows Learn to send an email Leaving out life’s woes So you’re on your own now That’s the way life goes VERSE 6 With sons and daughters leaving Going far away See them sadly waving Wishing they could stay All they see about them Darkness and decay Sons and daughters leaving Going far away Sons and daughters leaving For a better day
