[00:00:00] Galleries of Pink Galahs (Live) - John Williams Shannon Noll

[00:00:31] Galleries of pink galahs

[00:00:35] Crystal nights with diamond stars

[00:00:39] Apricots preserved in jars

[00:00:44] That's my home

[00:00:48] Land of oceans in the sun

[00:00:53] Purple hazes river gum

[00:00:57] Breaks your heart when rain won't come

[00:01:02] It breaks your heart

[00:01:08] It takes a harsh and cruel drought

[00:01:12] To sort the weaker saplings out

[00:01:16] It makes room for stronger trees

[00:01:21] Maybe that's what life's about

[00:01:25] Winter's come the hills are brown

[00:01:30] Shops are closed the blinds are down

[00:01:34] Everybody's leaving town

[00:01:39] They can't go on

[00:01:58] The south wind through verandah gauze

[00:02:02] Whines and bangs the homestead doors

[00:02:07] A mother curses dusty floors

[00:02:12] And feels alone

[00:02:16] Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust

[00:02:20] Boy leaves home to make a crust

[00:02:24] A father's dreams reduced to dust

[00:02:29] But he must go on

[00:02:35] Tortured red gums unashamed

[00:02:39] Sunburnt country wisely named

[00:02:43] Chisel ploughed and wire claimed

[00:02:48] But never never never tamed

[00:03:08] Whirlwind swirls a paper high

[00:03:12] Same old news of further dry

[00:03:17] Of broken clouds just passing by

[00:03:22] That's my home

[00:03:25] Land of oceans in the sun

[00:03:30] Purple hazes river gum

[00:03:34] Breaks your heart when rain won't come

[00:03:39] It breaks your heart
