|
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold, |
|
we've just come out of the Mulga where the plains forever roll. |
|
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes, |
|
And a shower has changed the lustre of his land. |
|
Chorus |
|
And it's raining on the Rock, |
|
In a beautiful country, |
|
And I'm proud to travel this big land, |
|
Like an Aborigine. |
|
And it's raining on the Rock |
|
What an almighty sight to see, |
|
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me. |
|
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose |
|
Where does their beauty come from heaven knows. |
|
I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high, |
|
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly. |
|
Chorus |
|
It cannot be described with a picture, |
|
The mesmerizing colours of the Olgas. |
|
Or the grandeur of the Rock |
|
Uluru has power! |
|
Chorus |
