Altona Lyrics

You had a park you had a pier

You held my childhood to teenage years

Your Norfolk pines shaded me

On hot December days

We ran your pier dove in the bay

We swam our holidays away

You had a park It's all but gone

And your pier It carries on

You were my school you were my home

We felt safe there In the dark

And I'm long gone

I'm long gone

From Altona

You had a park you had a pier

No pub to drink a beer

You had a pier you had a park

We walked home there In the dark

And I'm long gone

I'm long gone

From Altona

But I thank you for all you've done

For all the lessons hard won

For all the friends and all the fun

All the good times well done

In Altona

Altona

You had a park you had a pier

You held my childhood to teenage years

Your Norfolk pines shaded me

On hot December days

We ran your pier dove in the bay

We swam our holidays away

In Altona

North east west

Altona

North east west
