Текст Little River Band – Long Jumping Jeweller

Everybody can’t be heros,
But some can still try,
To make their lives a little different
Before the time it goes by,

I’m gonna let my heart take me away,
I’m gonna jump a little further everyday,
I’m gonna let my heart take me away,
I’m the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay.

She’s there every single morning with about a hundred more,
They watch as I come a-runnin’, they all know the score,
I always like to be the last one so I jump as she pulls away,
The gap gets a little bit wider the longer I delay

I’m gonna let my heart take me away,
I’m gonna jump a little further everyday,
I’m gonna let my heart take me away,
I’m the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay.

I handle gemstones in the city,
In a little lane off Australia square,
I got one picked out for you that looks so pretty,
But I got to make you notice that I’m there.
Well I started to make the papers and people began to bet,
Would I end up with the lady or would I just end up getting wet,
Now I’m not gonna give you the answer,
In oh so many words,
But swimming in Sydney Harbour,
You know is strictly for the birds.

Tweet, tweet, for the birds …

I’m gonna let my heart take me away,

I live in Lavender Bay, long jumping jeweler.
