Paul Kelly And The Messengers - Crosstown lyrics

Crosstown, under the freeway, late at night Crosstown, over the river shining bright I reach my destination and I find her arms waiting to hold me Her love is mine She lives high on the hillside, ain't no shack She's got anything she wants, she don't lack Daddy calls her his precious but he would die If he knew what his darling daughter did on the sly And when we can't be together I call my imagination Takes me over the water Crosstown is around the world Now I'm working the night shift every night And I'm doing the day shift none too bright But I'm keeping my head down, doing time 'Cause I'm working to make her, working to make her mine And when we can't be together I call my imagination Takes me over the water Crosstown is around the world
