Been away so long Long ago when I met you And it felt so wrong But I couldn't forget you I was lonely And I missed your light I was lonely In the Australian night In the Australian night In the Australian night And I traveled so far But there was something about you Then they made me a star But I was nothing without you I was lonely And I missed your light I was lonely In the Australian night In the Australian night In the Australian night Aeroplanes and photographs Summer days we played for laughs Dressing up and dressing down Driving 'round and 'round this town Aimed for the moon (and you) You might hit the stars Now I'm back to stay (I'm back to stay) And I would never desert you With you every day (in every way) And I could never hurt you 'Cause I was lonely And I missed your light I was lonely In the Australian night In the Australian night In the Australian night
