《The Birdsville Track (Remaster 1996)》歌词

[00:03:18] Way out in heartbreak corner in Australia's far outback

[00:03:18] The desert broods its secrets along the Birdsville track

[00:03:18] A family came and perished oh what a tragic end

[00:03:18] That fierce relentless desert has claimed so many men

[00:03:18] I've learned how thirst can craze the mind in cruel heat outback

[00:03:18] And I grieve for that poor family along the Birdsville track

[00:03:18] The great white ball of fire rode o'er the cloudless dome

[00:03:18] And scorched all living creatures upon the sand and stone

[00:03:18] Way out in heartbreak corner they went and ne'er came back

[00:03:18] And another story's buried there along the Birdsville track

[00:03:18] Then twilight fell with calmness as silent as a tomb

[00:03:18] And phantom streams reflected the rising of the moon

[00:03:18] The days and nights that followed brought panic and despair

[00:03:18] And blinding sandstorms raged as though to drown a mother's prayer

[00:03:18] Then demons of the desert came to claim their tortured minds

[00:03:18] And searching bushmen came too late and read the tragic signs

[00:03:18] And now beside a coolabah where desert grasses wave

[00:03:18] The brumby stallion leads his mob to skirt the new made graves

[00:03:18] Way out in heartbreak corner they went and ne'er came back

[00:03:18] May twilight bring them peace at night along the Birdsville track

[00:03:18] The dingoes howl so dismally the lonely curlews cry

[00:03:18] As though in deepest mourning for those poor souls who died

[00:03:18] Way out in heartbreak corner in Australia's far outback

[00:03:18] The desert broods its secrets along the Birdsville track

[00:03:18] Oh the desert broods its secrets along the Birdsville track.
