Girl From Western Sydney
(lyrics and music by Steve Towson)
There's a girl from Western Sydney
I haven't seen for a while
How I wish I could see her again
She was standing on the platform
As my train pulled away
She cried and the wind blew through her hair
And she said
(Chorus)
To the top
To the top
I will strive and climb
I will be victorious
We were together for about a year
And we never had an argument
She had her dreams
I shared a few of them
But none enough to make me go with her
To hear her say
(Chorus)
She went away
To some university
Had a string of broken love affairs
She fell in and out of love
One too many times
Now I just want to see her again
To say to her
To the top
To the top
You will strive and climb
I know you'll be victorious
There's a girl from Western Sydney
I haven't seen for a while
How I just want to see her again
