Queensland*

E D E D A G ? B Bb A ? My baby moved to Queensland -- said Hobart got her down My baby moved to Queensland -- said Hobart got her down She left her raincoat on the hook and flew north out of town

She said 'Hobart's still a prison, too many people know my name x2 And I've never been to Queensland, I can be nameless once again'

Well sure, she wanted something, but she couldn't call it by its name? x2 She kept saying words like freedom, I kept hearing words like blame

Well I thought I had the picture I was the gaoler and the chain x2 But it was me stuck there in prison, staring out on Hobart rain

What's so great about the sunshine, that you need to see it every day? x 2 Then she said that she missed winter, she said she missed the rain

I flew up north to Townsville, I hoped I could set her free x 2 I took a chance to bring her back, to where the rainclouds kiss the sea

Now my baby's back in Hobart, the roaring forties at our door x 2 We look down to Antarctica, as we walk upon the shore.

But if I dared to look down close enough, it's only me who bears the pain

BIg deal, she's flown to Queensland, but what's the matter with the rain? The sun might keep her warm I guess, but it won't make her

There's nothing that the sun can give I need some sun to set me free I need my skin to feel no shame' She wants to see me begging

convict stain I've half a mind to fly to Townsville
