Indian Pacific - Troy Cassar-Daley[00:00:00]
Written by:Joy McKean/Troy Cassar/Daley/Adam Harvey[00:00:00]
From coast to coast by night[00:00:09]
And day hear the clickin' of the wheels[00:00:11]
The hummin' of the diesel on her ribbons of steel[00:00:14]
Carryin' the memories of a nation built by hand[00:00:19]
See the indian pacific span the land[00:00:23]
She's the pride of all the railway men[00:00:28]
'Cross country where she flies[00:00:31]
From blue pacific waters to where the mountains rise[00:00:33]
By lakes and wide brown rivers through desert country dry[00:00:38]
See the indian pacific passin' by[00:00:42]
Oh the indian pacific she goes rollin' down the track[00:00:47]
Five thousand miles to travel before she's there and back[00:00:51]
Beside the line a drover waves his battered old grey hat[00:00:58]
And kids are catchin' yabbies down by the river flat[00:01:02]
And a woman hangs her washing in a backyard near the line[00:01:07]
As the indian pacific's rollin' by[00:01:11]
Hear the whistle blowin' lonely 'neath the nullabor star light[00:01:52]
Saluting those who walk across the track she romps tonight[00:01:56]
Callin' to the railway camp and the fitters on the line[00:02:01]
I'm the indian pacific right on time[00:02:05]
From the silver of the broken hill[00:02:10]
To old kalgoorlie gold[00:02:12]
She mirrors all the colours of the land so hot and old[00:02:15]
Then the western clouds are blooming[00:02:20]
And the air is just like wine[00:02:22]
And the indian pacific's makin' time[00:02:24]
Oh the indian pacific she goes rollin' down the track[00:02:29]
Five thousand miles to travel before she's there and back[00:02:33]
From the waters of the western sea to the eastern ocean sand[00:02:39]
The indian pacific spans the land[00:02:44]
Oh the indian pacific spans the land[00:02:48]
