lyrics

O, Dreamtime Blues

Like children in a fable we head off down the road
You with your dreamtime blues and me with my heavy load
We prayed this wind would take us and blow these weeds to dust
Limbless gumtrees seem to follow us; apparition in the dusk

And these maps are filled with murder and the crops are full of bones
Tangled in Lantana we’re just trying to find….

We tie our shoes with wire as we hitchhike to the coast
Through brambles and dead lilac as you whisper to your ghosts
And this heat could boil a billy right here on the bonnet of this car
So we drink a little coffee and sleep beneath the stars
I whispered ‘cross the lantern “Your reins have tightened round my heart”
I said “Baby am I dreaming?”
Then bullets fell like stars
The rain it woke my slumber still we lay and listened to the birds
Memories in embers shrivel and disappear as they burn
“Josey, can you hear that? The magpies called our names”
Douse the forest fire with teaspoons watch our history in the flames
The moon it overtook me, left its image in the air
The night sky just engulfs you here; smell of eucalyptus in your hair
You know I’ll still be waiting here long after you’ve gone
We’re so tied up together these threads just will not come undone

You’ll be stomping and crying and laughing, and if you’re lucky to catch Moldre live, you’ll be doing all three with a whiskey in hand.” Timber & Steel ... more
