Song language: English
Blue Poles |
| Mother as I write the sun dissolves |
| Blood life streaming cross my hand |
| And these words, these words |
| Hope dashed immortal hope |
| Hope streaking the canvas sky |
| Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write |
| We joined the long caravan |
| Hungry dreaming going west |
| Just for work just to get a job |
| And we never got lucky |
| We just forged on |
| And the dust the endless dust |
| Like a plague it covered everything |
| Hal fell with the fever |
| And mother I did what I could |
| We prayed we prayed for rain |
| I never wanted to see the sun again |
| All my dresses you made hand |
| We left behind on the road |
| Hal died in my arms |
| We buried him by the river |
