Lyrics Wombara - Peter von Poehl

Wombara

The winter show was right on time
Windy days on a cliff
They were waiting by the shore
Frozen figures in the dark
I’m a thousand miles away
From that old Midsummer Day;
I’m diving in the cold night
There’s no warming light in Wombara
I heard one song for two birds
When spring came around
The gravediggers laughed at dawn
Playing chess with the buds
I’m a thousand miles away
From all the things I had to say
The sandman rings a bell
But the ocean never sleeps in Wombara
Thunder always lasts too long
For the ones you can’t fin
In the summer I recalled
A lantern crown near a child
I’m a thousand miles away
A bit up north of Jarvis Bay
The storm won’t blow away
The Sunday blues, they sing in
Wombara
A hole in the wall was the final stop
An old photograph
Gone in the lost and found
I have never been too scared
Of leaves on the ground
Take me a few steps to the left
And I could rest a while
I’m a thousand miles away
From all the things I had to say
Flowers grow next to the whitest stone
Right here in Wombara
