nullarbor song

when the fire burns out here

it's brighter than the city lights

warmer than a heart of gold

and dingo's howl just to break the

silence

the sun comes up just to break the cold

last night i woke

with the stars looking back at me

swallowing the sky

i felt no anger

i felt no shame

i felt no reason to cry

if i'm not here in the morning

i'll cry a river of tears

but i'll learn to live in a new town

but my heart is staying here

when it's quiet out here

a hundred miles away

you can hear the train on the line

the whistle blows just to break the silence

i wave just to break the time

i close my eyes

i think of runnin' water

i think of runnin' away

but the fires burnt to ashes

and it's darker than before

but i can see as clear as day
