[00:00:01] Galleries Of Pink Galahs - John Williamson

[00:00:23] Galleries of pink galahs

[00:00:27] Crystal nights with diamond stars

[00:00:31] Apricots preserved in jars

[00:00:36] That's my home

[00:00:40] Land of oceans in the sun

[00:00:44] Purple hazes river gum

[00:00:48] Breaks your heart when rain won't come

[00:00:53] It breaks your heart

[00:00:59] It takes a harsh and cruel drought

[00:01:03] To sort the weaker saplings out

[00:01:07] It makes room for stronger trees

[00:01:12] Maybe that's what life's about

[00:01:16] Winter's come the hills are brown

[00:01:20] Shops are closed the blinds are down

[00:01:25] Everybody's leaving town

[00:01:29] They can't go on

[00:01:48] The south wind through verandah gauze

[00:01:51] Whines and bangs the homestead doors

[00:01:57] A mother curses dusty floors

[00:02:00] And feels alone

[00:02:05] Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust

[00:02:09] Boy leaves home to make a crust

[00:02:13] A father's dreams reduced to dust

[00:02:18] But he must go on

[00:02:25] Tortured red gums - unashamed

[00:02:28] Sunburnt country wisely named

[00:02:33] Chisel-ploughed and wire-claimed

[00:02:37] But never never never tamed

[00:03:14] Whirlwind swirls a paper high

[00:03:18] Same old news of further dry

[00:03:22] Of broken clouds just passing by

[00:03:27] That's my home

[00:03:31] Land of oceans in the sun

[00:03:35] Purple hazes river gum

[00:03:39] Breaks your heart when rain won't come

[00:03:44] It breaks your heart
