Queenstown (Live from San Francisco)

This one I'm going to play you is

A really special song for me it's a

Really simple song um but it's um

It's a, it's about a little town in

New Zealand called Queenstown, and uh

I used all of my imagination, and I

Called it Queenstown uh

And it goes like this

Well when I think back to that morning

In Queenstown my heart starts to ache

Sitting in the shade of the hire car

Throwing stones into the lake

We didn't know that life would throw

A little more than we could take

If I ever get back to Queenstown

I won't make the same mistake

Do you remember the water on our skin

Cold as ice and sweet as gin?

Drunk on love and life

We drank the whole thing down

I remember the soft summer air

The golden sunlight in your hair

Singing and laughing

Driving the coast road down to Queenstown

Do you remember that evening in Queenstown

Walking down by the pier?

Sun going down to the Piano Man

And the moon shining down so clear

Drinking wine and feeling fine

And we had no idea

If I ever get back to Queenstown

I'll have one for you, my dear

Do you remember the water that night

Shimmering under the restaurant lights?

Drunk on love and life

We drank the whole thing down

I remember the magic in the air

The silver moonlight in your hair

Making love and sleeping safe

And sound in Queenstown

Life moves fast, and years have past

And I'm living on my own

I see you now and again

Through mutual friends

But we know that bird has flown

Sitting on the couch in this big old house

And I've never felt so alone

If I ever get back to Queenstown

I might not make it home

If I ever get back to Queenstown

I might not come home
