A young homeless couple died in their car in Ballarat on Friday night. How this happens in rich country like this is beyond me. The words to this song are dedicated to them. ------------- Ballarat Clear skies up above And times were tough for two people in love When the cold wind came A dog and a car was all they had to their name Without a roof at a fragile age Minus three on the temperature gauge Corner of Finches and Smarts Hill Road They pulled up to rest Together well go So far from home The roads outside of Ballarat Feel so cold Scraps and puddles around Thorns and thistles on frozen ground World owed them nothing theyd always been told Star-crossed and forsaken The car was rusted and old With a butane heater to keep out the cold Sprang a leak in the night Left them gone by first light Together well go So far from home The roads outside of Ballarat Feel so cold Cops arrived at the scene A couple of hours and the slates wiped clean A tragic story the news reports say A brief pause then we turn away Does it give you a chill? Such a long way from the light on the hill A short walk from that famous stockade Here lies the house that weve made Together well go So far from home The roads outside of Ballarat Feel so cold
