[Verse 1]
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
Sydney shines such a beautiful light
And I can see Bondi through my window way off to the right
And the curling waves on a distant break
And the sleeping city just about to wake
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
They got married early, never had no money
Then when he got laid off they really hit the skids
He started up his drinking and then they started fighting
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids
She said, "I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die
So watch me walking, out the door"
[Chorus]
To her door
[Verse 3]
Have you ever fallen for a girl with different colored eyes?
And sent her letters full of lies?
Have you ever longed to see the sun fall where it used to rise?
Quit your job on the spot?
You bought that ticket, yeah, spent the lot
Have you ever fallen for a girl with different colored eyes?
He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching
Walking in slow motion like he'd just been hit
Did they have a future?
Would he know his children?
Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
He was flying through the cane in the pouring rain
He was shaking in his seat
He was riding through the streets
To her door
[Chorus]
To her door
To her door
To her door
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
To her door
To her door
