lyrics

Whenever I see a khaki shirt
Whenever I hear Mick Thomas sing
Or if I’m made to wait
I’ll think of you.

If ever I’m at the MCG
Or hear the words, ‘Keep fighting’,
‘Welcome’, ‘good form’, my friend,
I’ll smile for you.

Wherever you went, you left behind
A trail of disruption
Unmade beds, shaking heads and smiling faces.

You’d wear those shorts everywhere you’d go
Yet be overdressed for barefoot bowls
But you giving all your heart
Is how I’ll remember you.

I’ll never know someone like you
Who has the ability to
Darken a day yet brighten a room
The paradox of you.

Wherever you went, you left behind
A trail of disruption
Unmade beds, shaking heads and smiling faces.

I remember my good times
Which so often featured you
So when I feel down
I’ll think of them.

Whenever your friends are side by side,
Today or in years from now
Wherever we are, you’ll be there.

Wherever you went, you left behind
A trail of disruption
Unmade beds, shaking heads and smiling faces.
