lyrics

You slipped away without a sound,
we didn't make it to your side in time to see your final breath.
I remember sitting by your side as you smoked and watched the AFL
Told me stories about your Pacific "holiday" in '45.

I wish I had more memories of you before your time came to an end,
I was just a spoilt kid. Never valued the company of family like I should,
I hope I make you proud someday.

Another funeral in Bendigo, it was a cold and windy day.
I watched in silence as you disappeared into the earth,
reminding me that death comes for us all, eventually.
And it scares me.

I remember your laugh was bright like the gold that built this town.
I can't believe I'll never hear that again.

I hope I make you proud someday.
And I swear I still smell the smoke on the coat you used to wear.
