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 gum 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 leaving town They can't go on
The south wind through veranda gauze Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Whines 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 red gums, 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
