Where The Murray Meets The Darling Lyrics - Singles - Tania Kernaghan

Where the Murry meets the Darling 

lies a sleepy border town 

The grapevines were in season laden to 

the ground 

On the gate a rusty sign pickers apply within 

From the cool of her verandah she watched 

him wander in 

All though the harvest season in the long hot afternoons 

They gathered grapes together their love began to bloom 

And somehow he had touched her and liked the clinging of the vines 

Their lives became entangled their hearts became entwined 

CHORUS 

Where the Murry meets the Darling by the water slow and brown 

In a secret valley he laid a blanket down 

It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day 

Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away 

When the harvest time was over and the leaves began to fall 

They planned to travel northward it was time for moving on 

But as the leaves were falling one night he slipped away 

Her love had been foresaken the vines lay stark and grey 

CHORUS 

Where the Murry meets the Darling by the water slow and brown 

In a secret valley he laid a blanket down 

It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day 

Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away 

Where the Murry meets the Darling she gave her heart away
