Tania Kernaghan Where The Murray Meets The Darling
Where the Murray meets the Darling lies a sleepy border town The grapevines were in season laden to the ground On the gate a rusty sing pickers apply within From the cool of her verandah she watched him wander in All through the harvest season in the long hot afternoons They gathered grapes together their love began to bloom And somehow he had touched her and like the clinging of the vines Their lives became entangled their hearts became entwined CHORUS Where the Murray 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 ne night he slipped away Her love had been forsaken the vines lay stark and grey CHORUS Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away
