Lee Kernaghan - She Waits By The Sliprails (The Bush Girl) lyrics
[Lee Kernaghan - She Waits By The Sliprails The Bush Girl lyrics]
Where your brothers select
Through the ghostly grey bush in the dawn
You rode slowly at first
Lest her heart should suspect
That you were so glad to be gone
You had scarcely the courage to glance
Back at her
By the homestead receding from view
And you breathed with relief as
You rounded the spur
For the world was a wide world to you
Grey eyes that grow sadder
Than sunset and rain
Fond heart that is evermore true
Firm faith that grows firmer
For watching in vain
She'll wait by the sliprails for you
Well the world is a new and a wide one to you
But the world to your sweetheart is shut
For a change never comes to
The lonely bush homes
Of the stockyard, the scrub, and the hut
Grey eyes that grow sadder
Than sunset and rain
Fond heart that is evermore true
Firm faith that grows firmer
For watching in vain
She'll wait by the sliprails for you
Oh, Grey eyes that grow sadder
Than sunset and rain
Fond heart that is evermore true
Firm faith that grows firmer
For watching in vain
She'll wait by the sliprails for you
Yes she wait's by the sliprails for you
