Cold Chisel - Juliet lyrics

rate me

Jet-lag cramps the lonely face

Cheek-bones pinched and tired

It's a cold tarmac breeze

That wraps the terminal around

Flight-times drag the night along

Cab skids down the freeway

Time to find a bed

For the weeks ahead

It's goodbye

Ice-lines rim the city streets

And tire-whines rip the blacktop

And the lamps wheel above

The misty overpass

And Bergman's face in black and white

Repeated down the alleys

A prayer above

For broken love

And goodbyes

Juliet in travel coat

Leans wasted on the window

Takes a long, long drag

To try and settle down

It kills her how he turned away

How he ripped their love apart

Starts to cry

Lets the curtain fall

It's goodbye
