Lyrics Great Southern Land

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 'cos 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

A story 'bout 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

You walk alone like a primitive man

And they make it work with sticks and bones

I 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

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 'cos 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

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
