Memories of Loxton SA

Sitting on a park bench 
In the Main Street 
Of this old familiar town
Spent so many years 
At high school here
Just hanging around
Now I'm a weary traveller
Been driving for some hours
Enjoying a little sunshine
As I just sit and look around
My friends have all left here
They have lives, families of their own
Just like I have too: in Adelaide town
I remember meeting Wendy here
Almost right here on this very spot
When my girls were little
Michael was not even born
We sat and talked: reminisced
About those old school days
And now it's like a mirage too
For even those days are long gone
I am heading over to Berri...
That's where my parents live
That's where my heart is now 
For everything has surely changed...
