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
