|
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean |
|
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea |
|
City on a rainy day down in the harbor |
|
Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay |
|
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you |
|
This is not the way that I remember it here |
|
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island |
|
Hidden in the summer for a million years |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Burned you black |
|
So you look into the land, it will tell you a story |
|
Story about a journey ended long ago |
|
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains |
|
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do |
|
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you |
|
Are you gonna let them take you over that way? |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
You walk alone |
|
Like a primitive man |
|
And they make it work |
|
With sticks and bones |
|
See their hungry eyes |
|
It's a hungry home |
|
I hear the sound |
|
Of the strangers' voices |
|
I see their hungry eyes |
|
Their hungry eyes |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
They burned you black |
|
Black against the ground |
|
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean |
|
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea |
|
City on a rainy day down in the harbor |
|
Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay |
|
Looking everywhere, I had to find you |
|
This is not the way that I remember it here |
|
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island |
|
Hidden in the summer for a million years |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
In the sleeping sun |
|
You walk alone |
|
With the ghost of time |
|
Well, they burned you black |
|
Black against the ground |
|
And they make it work |
|
With rocks and sand |
|
I hear the sound |
|
Of the strangers' voices |
|
I see their hungry eyes |
|
Their hungry eyes |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
You walk alone |
|
Like a primitive man |
|
You walk alone |
|
With the ghost of time |
|
And they burned you black |
|
Yeah, they burned you black |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Great Southern Land |
