Away up the Coast

Written and performed by some (other) guy named Tom

<So we'll sing farewell, we'll not say goodbye

For we'll be reunited where the hawks and seabirds fly

But we'll sing so long to the life that we know

So kiss me once for old times' sake and once for letting go>

Well it's almost come September, you'll soon be moving on

But I still don't know what I'll do without you when you're gone

Away up the coast now, that's how it hast to be

There's no jobs for a journalist in ole' Sydney

<...>

You've gone for every journo job from here to Botany Bay

But all of them were taken so I guess you cannot stay

Away up the coast now, that's how it has to be

I know I'm gonna miss you but we'll visit frequent-ly 

It's a long long way to Kempsey, 200 miles and more

but once you've pass probation I'll be flying out the door

Away up the coast then, that's how it's going to be

And we can live together in a cabin by the sea
