Lyrics
Leaving This City Too Soon A dinner party in a home in Alexandria A Sunday picnic in the Centennial Park The Harbour Bridge, it looks so pretty in the dark And I'll be leaving this city too soon. A solitary figure on Coogee Beach after sunset The Powerhouse impressions, well, they took my breath away And then the view out over Botany Bay And I'll be leaving this city too soon. Chorus It's vast but it's slow In this city don't you know With lots of things to do And places to go While in England there's snow Here the sun seems to show Every minute of each day now Didn't you know didn't you know? Vacleuse House I saw just after Gerard Depardieu Then an ocean liner in the Circular Quay A Javanese Buddha in the art gallery And I'll be leaving this city too soon Took the ferry across the harbour over to Manly Then the bush country, well, it's not too far away The gum trees and the crickets seem to say Well, I'll be leaving this city too soon. Chorus Every palm tree and lizard adds to the flavour of A sub-tropical cosmopolitan metropolis you could grow to love. Chorus
