Galleries Of Pink Galahs - John Williamson[00:00:01]
Galleries of pink galahs [00:00:23]
Crystal nights with diamond stars [00:00:27]
Apricots preserved in jars [00:00:31]
That's my home [00:00:36]
Land of oceans in the sun [00:00:40]
Purple hazes river gum [00:00:44]
Breaks your heart when rain won't come [00:00:48]
It breaks your heart [00:00:53]
It takes a harsh and cruel drought[00:00:59]
To sort the weaker saplings out [00:01:03]
It makes room for stronger trees[00:01:07]
Maybe that's what life's about [00:01:12]
Winter's come the hills are brown [00:01:16]
Shops are closed the blinds are down [00:01:20]
Everybody's leaving town [00:01:25]
They can't go on [00:01:29]
The south wind through verandah gauze[00:01:48]
Whines and bangs the homestead doors [00:01:51]
A mother curses dusty floors [00:01:57]
And feels alone [00:02:00]
Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust [00:02:05]
Boy leaves home to make a crust [00:02:09]
A father's dreams reduced to dust [00:02:13]
But he must go on [00:02:18]
Tortured red gums - unashamed [00:02:25]
Sunburnt country wisely named [00:02:28]
Chisel-ploughed and wire-claimed [00:02:33]
But never never never tamed [00:02:37]
Whirlwind swirls a paper high [00:03:14]
Same old news of further dry [00:03:18]
Of broken clouds just passing by [00:03:22]
That's my home[00:03:27]
Land of oceans in the sun [00:03:31]
Purple hazes river gum [00:03:35]
Breaks your heart when rain won't come [00:03:39]
It breaks your heart[00:03:44]
