Bill Beare - Country Girl Lyrics

We holding hands across the table
We making best of a conversation
She's focussing on a brand new nation
She's telling me

She ran from the red rag into the red roof country, girl

Too close to be a distant memory
Two talk of far away family
Who could conceive of the things that she told me
Who could care why

She ran from the red rag into the red roof country, girl
Each way the zig-zag, stitching a grey backstreet factory, girl
From the zip and the ricochet to the hum of the city, girl
Across the blue sea
Onto the red dust and into the red roof country, girl
Country Girl

'One day our love will win,' I told her
'One day all this fighting will be over'
Some say, 'It's a burden we should not shoulder'
What sat if it were you

Who ran from the red rag into the red roof country, girl?
Each way the zig-zag, stitching a grey backstreet factory, girl
From the zip and the ricochet to the hum of the city, girl
Across the blue sea
Onto the red dust and into the red roof country, girl
Country Girl
