June

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
