If I Close My Eyes - John Schumann[00:00:00]
Written by:John Schumann[00:00:06]
If I close my eyes[00:00:32]
I can see the river red gum rising green against the dawn[00:00:35]
I can hear the sacred silence of Wilpena in the morning[00:00:40]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:00:46]
If I close my eyes[00:00:53]
See the sunlight tumbling down between the native pines[00:00:57]
Broken by the breeze splashing red and orange light[00:01:02]
I can see the wedge tailed eagle climbing stairways in the sky[00:01:07]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:01:13]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:01:19]
I close my eyes[00:01:24]
I'm flying 40 000 years[00:01:25]
To Wilpena in the dream time[00:01:29]
Where the rock sweeps to the air[00:01:31]
And the hills run from the mountainside into a haze of blue[00:01:34]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:01:41]
If I close my eyes[00:01:49]
Underneath the windswept southern sky[00:01:52]
Wilpena's ancient shrine[00:01:54]
Running down the centuries[00:01:57]
Leaving this one far behind[00:01:59]
Touch the starlight streaming from the blackness of the night[00:02:03]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:02:08]
If we close our eyes[00:02:40]
There'll be black and whited waiters serving cocktails on the green[00:02:43]
Whirring motor driven cameras drinking in the scene[00:02:49]
People running credit checks behind a silver screen[00:02:54]
If we close our eyes[00:03:01]
If I close my eyes[00:03:05]
I'm staring into endless night[00:03:06]
And in the hissing of the campfire[00:03:10]
As the smoke curls to the night[00:03:12]
I hear Nepabunna angels chanting out Wilpena's plight[00:03:15]
If I close my eyes[00:03:24]
If I close my eyes[00:03:28]
I'm flying 40 000 years[00:03:29]
To Wilpena in the dream time[00:03:33]
Where the rock sweeps to the air[00:03:35]
And the hills run from the mountainside into a haze of blue[00:03:38]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:03:45]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:03:51]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:03:56]
All I have to do is close my eyes[00:04:02]
