Galleries Of Pink Galahs |
Galleries of pink galahs |
Crystal nights with diamond stars |
Apricots preserved in jars |
That’s my home |
Land of oceans in the sun |
Purple hazes, river gums |
Breaks your heart when rain won’t come |
It breaks your heart |
It takes a harsh and cruel drought |
To sort the weaker saplings out |
It makes room for stronger trees |
Maybe that’s what life’s about |
Winter’s come, the hills are brown |
Shops are closed, the blinds are down |
Everybody’s leavin' town |
They can’t go on |
The south wind through verandah gauze |
Winds and bangs the homestead doors |
A mother curses dusty floors |
And feels alone |
Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust |
Boy leaves home to make a crust |
A father’s dreams reduced to dust |
But he must go on |
Tortured redgums unashamed |
Sunburnt country wisely named |
Chisel ploughed and wire claimed |
But never, never, never tamed |
Whirlwind swirls a paper high |
Same old news of further dry |
Of broken clouds just passing by |
That’s my home |
Land of oceans in the sun |
Purple hazes, river gums |
Breaks your heart when rain won’t come |
It breaks your heart |
