brendon walmsley - bottle tree lane lyrics

Loading...

bottle trees lining the lane where she met him
the place where her dreams had finally come true
flickering sunlight the dance of the branches
they walked beneath each afternoon
in a world going crazy, skies couldn’t be clearer
’til war was declared and her eyes filled with tears
the boy enlisted, she cried when he kissed her
and he whispered these words in her ear

remember the good things the good lord has given
remember that love will remain
here’s to the wonderful life that we’re living
we owe it to bottle tree lane
don’t forget bottle tree lane

once more they walked through the trees in the evening
the only one smiling, the man in the moon
they promised each other forever
the sun came up too soon
the whole town turned out for their boys at the station
waving their flags as they boarded the train
he heard her voice as she ran down the platform
come back to bottle tree lane.

repeat chorus

time marches on she became an old lady
the anzac parade made it’s way down the lane
the diggers p-ssed by recalling the fallen
’cause each bottle tree bears a name
everyone knew why she stood where she did
beside the same tree on that day every year
and her grandchildren don’t take for granted the reason
they’re able to play without fear

repeat chorus x 2

lest we forget bottle tree lane
