Lyrics

Red sand of the Pilbara, wildflowers dot the land
Sharp shards of spinifex prick as I brush pass, barefoot in the sand
Pulling out thorny seeds, I make for the red rocky shade
Hoping for a secret spring, cool water slake my thirst and make my day

I walked in the moonlight, followed tracks across the sand
Around the thorny bushes deep into the land
Slowly came the daybreak, beauty bursting ‘cross the sky
Pink, orange, purple clusters erupting ‘fore my eyes

Oooh I shouldn’t be walking here through Country I don’t know
But I heard her calling out
“Come to me… Come to me” so I wake in the night and I go

I found this sheltering rock-face with water dripping cold
The voice is gently soothing in my head, a friend from old
My past is all behind me, my future starts right here
Alone in the Pilbara, her voice in my ear

Oooh I shouldn’t be walking here through Country I don’t know
But I heard her calling out
“Come to me… Come to me” so I wake in the night and I go

Oooh I go, travelling across the land…

Oooh I shouldn’t be walking here through Country I don’t know
But I heard her calling out
“Come to me… Come to me” so I wake in the night and I go
