Galleries of Pink Galahs (Live) - John Williams Shannon Noll[00:00:00]
Galleries of pink galahs[00:00:31]
Crystal nights with diamond stars[00:00:35]
Apricots preserved in jars[00:00:39]
That's my home[00:00:44]
Land of oceans in the sun[00:00:48]
Purple hazes river gum[00:00:53]
Breaks your heart when rain won't come[00:00:57]
It breaks your heart[00:01:02]
It takes a harsh and cruel drought[00:01:08]
To sort the weaker saplings out[00:01:12]
It makes room for stronger trees[00:01:16]
Maybe that's what life's about[00:01:21]
Winter's come the hills are brown[00:01:25]
Shops are closed the blinds are down[00:01:30]
Everybody's leaving town[00:01:34]
They can't go on[00:01:39]
The south wind through verandah gauze[00:01:58]
Whines and bangs the homestead doors[00:02:02]
A mother curses dusty floors[00:02:07]
And feels alone[00:02:12]
Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust[00:02:16]
Boy leaves home to make a crust[00:02:20]
A father's dreams reduced to dust[00:02:24]
But he must go on[00:02:29]
Tortured red gums unashamed[00:02:35]
Sunburnt country wisely named[00:02:39]
Chisel ploughed and wire claimed[00:02:43]
But never never never tamed[00:02:48]
Whirlwind swirls a paper high[00:03:08]
Same old news of further dry[00:03:12]
Of broken clouds just passing by[00:03:17]
That's my home[00:03:22]
Land of oceans in the sun[00:03:25]
Purple hazes river gum[00:03:30]
Breaks your heart when rain won't come[00:03:34]
It breaks your heart[00:03:39]
