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

Yeah I'll cry a river of tears

And 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

If I'm not here in the morning

Yeah I'll cry a river of tears

I'll learn to live in a new town

But my heart is staying here

Yeah I'll learn to live in a new town

But my heart is staying here
