Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman, |
|
You know those old things only make you cry. |
|
When you dream upon that little bunny rug |
|
It makes you think that life has passed you by |
|
There are days when you wish the world would stop woman, |
|
But then you know some wounds would never heal |
|
But when I browse the early pages of the children |
|
It's then I know exactly how you feel. |
|
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining |
|
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend |
|
For all at once my childhood never left me |
|
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again |
|
It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman, |
|
Come out here and sit down in the sun |
|
Can't you hear the magpies in the distance? |
|
Don't you feel the new day has begun? |
|
Can't you hear the bees making honey woman, |
|
In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring? |
|
You might grow old and bitter cause you missed it, |
|
You know some people never hear such things |
|
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining |
|
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend |
|
For all at once my childhood never left me |
|
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again |
|
Don't buy the daily papers any more woman, |
|
Read all about what's going on in hell. |
|
They don't care to tell the world of kindness, |
|
Good news never made a paper sell. |
|
There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman, |
|
And symphonies of music in the sky. |
|
Heaven's all around us if you're looking, |
|
But how can you see it if you cry. |
|
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining |
|
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend |
|
For all at once my childhood never left me |
|
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again. |
