Lost in thought

We used to catch the bus to high school
It was an arduous journey: every day
I remember enjoying the drive to Loxton
I could look out the window at the scenery
Loving the beautiful lagoon just past Moorook
Every day it was the same: day in day out
Same road: same scenery: same lagoon
I would day dream as we drove along
Imagining how I would love to live elsewhere
On another farm: somewhere near that lagoon
Chasing sheep up the road in those paddocks
Yes! Anything was better than what we had!
Yes! I would day dream of having a little boat
Enjoying fishing from it on long summer days
So much time to dream as that bus drove along
All year long: every day we drove along
From Kingston-on-Murray to Loxton!
