I always wanted to have these lyrics. So I had to buy the CD. Here's my transcription (this time without my usual plea for corrections). Wolfgang

ONE MORE CITY; ONE MORE TOWN
(Colin Wilkie)

One more city, one more town,
one more long, long road to travel on,
one more lonely day to pass,
one more empty whiskey glass,
one more girl to forget when I'm gone.

I must get out on the road
even though I'd rather stay with you,
but I'm scared that if I do
I might fall in love with you,
and that, my friend, is a thing I mustn't do.

If I'd known before we kissed
that I'd feel the way I do [tune repeats tune line 1]
I would have never ever passed your way.
But in the silence of the night,
when you held me so tight
was then I knew I must be on my way.

So I thank you for the wine
and for the night you lay there by my side.
I will think of you a while,
your eyes, your hair, your smile,
while I'm waiting for a car to let me ride.

Yes, I go down to the south,
where the wind and the sun will burn me brown,
where waiting there for me
are the mountains and the sea
and another lonely, lonely town.

Repeat first verse.
