Lyrics
The air is warm The sky turns gold December light Begins to unfold
Mallacoota wakes In a hush of blue With the lake lying still And the morning new
Islands sleep In a silver glass While the first soft colours Drift and pass
A boat by the shore Waits for the tide As the whole wide day Opens its eyes
Golden hours December glow Where the lake meets the sea And the warm winds blow
Time moves easy Hearts feel new In Mallacoota's Summer blue
Golden hours Stay with me Where the forest leans To the open sea
Hold that light Let it shine through In Mallacoota's Morning hue
The township stirs The gulls call low Coffee on the breeze And the foreshore slow
Leafy lanes A sunlit street A lazy rhythm Under every beat
The marina rests No engines yet Just golden ripples The day won't forget
And somewhere high In the warming trees A saxophone sighs With the morning breeze
Golden hours December glow Where the lake meets the sea And the warm winds blow
Time moves easy Hearts feel new In Mallacoota's Summer blue
Golden hours Stay with me Where the forest leans To the open sea
Hold that light Let it shine through In Mallacoota's Morning hue
Piano rolls Like a tide pulled slow Bass walks softly Where the quiet things go
The forest sighs The water gleams The waking town Still half in dreams
For one bright moment Clear and strong The morning feels Like it could last all day long
Golden hours December glow Where the lake meets the sea And the warm winds blow
Time moves easy Hearts feel new In Mallacoota's Summer blue
Golden hours Wild and free Where the lake runs out To the shining sea
Hold that light Let it shine through In Mallacoota's Morning hue
Let the day unfold Let the warmth remain Let the sunlight fall On the lake again
Golden hours A fleeting song But the memory lingers Forever strong
