Keep on walking by
With your head held down
Keep on walking by 
With your head held down
Hand me back
All those things 
That we would have found

You'd drive so many miles
To be by my side
All the evenings you were there
I just let pass me by
When you greeted me
It was always with the sweetest smile
I held you once
It was the longest night
Of my life

Do you gather all that's left
Of what marked that time
Do you keep hold of all the good
And leave the rest behind

So keep on walking on
Towards your southern sky
Keep on walking on
Towards your southern sky
I held you once
It was the longest night
Of my life
