Letter to Geelong (Single Version) ft. Joe Matera Lyrics

We're both sending our love to you

We're mailing a parcel too

Things we hold dear

As we can't have you near

Things you might cherish

Should we not meet again

The sun is fierce and hot

Ewen says the schools are strict

Dad got laid off from Fords

But he, says he's trying to fix it

We had to get towed

On the Great Ocean Road

But looking on the bright side

The old house is finally sold

We're both sending our love again

Nan is glad that you've made new friends

You say your dad works now

At the cement works near town

It may not be the best

But at least a job's been found

Dad has bought a new car

Claims it turns on a sixpence

The last trip to Adelaide

It didn't seem to make a difference

The sandstorm it came

That was, after the rain

Cold hungry tired

Then it was hot again

We're both sending our love again

Please be careful where you choose to swim

Those octopus you saw

Washed up on the shore

They made the news back here

Thirty deaths or more

Joe is learning guitar

Dad doesn't much like it

Dodged a brown snake on the beach

My clothes don't fit like they did

Spider bit my arm

Burned from the start

Doctor said good job

The poison didn't reach my heart

We're both sending our love and care

Strange you're in Torquay, but way out there

The weather back here

Seems really cold this year

Or maybe your nan and gramps

Are getting old I fear

Hope you're ok back there

The post's been slow here

In your last letter you mentioned

A cough that won't clear

We send you our love

And although times are tough

We're planning to see you

We've almost saved enough

We're both sending our love to you

We're mailing a parcel too

Things we hold dear

As we can't have you near

Things you might cherish

Should we not meet again

Cause we won't meet again
