Song

This is quite a quirky little composition about Children and seeing their Dads
in Australia. Written and performed by Trevor Dunen of Essendon, Victoria. Phone
(03) 9375 4004. Don't alter it or change it, it's my composition. Have fun.
Anyone is welcome to record it. Copyright Trevor Dunen, November 2003.
Every now an then I take a journey I look to the horizon and I am drawn  
5000 Miles away in the West my sons were born 
She’s got their birthdays and they’ve got their toys 
And in the end I just wanna be with my boys 
We did homework and we went places When other kids play I see their faces  
I remember the times they arrived Always a Morning, a quick panicked drive  
Now their gone and I’ve moved on I tried so hard to get along 
But that’s the way it has to be, I’m coming back some day you’ll see! 
She’s in the box seat, and she’s having her fun And in the end I just wanna be with my sons  
I feel whole when I get near Leaving that place is my biggest fear,  
But I get a week and I feel OK The worst time for me is Christmas day  
She’s got their birthdays and they’ve got their toys 
And in the end I just wanna be with my boys 
The bus is winding through the desert night Twelve more hours til my Melbourne flight  
I feel I’m leaving my soul in Town And I can’t cry, if I do I’ll drown  
But you’ve got hope and in the end, You know those three little men are your best friends!
