James Reyne Walking In The Dreamtime Lyrics

Walking In The Dreamtime Lyrics

Went a`walking in the sunshine

About a thousand Brumby ghosts

Hunters bushmen bandits

And fence wire on the posts

Felt that ebony skin

And felt the whole of the ivory coast

Not flying away flying away

Never been across the ocean man

You didn't sail it out across the sea

You didn't dig it for gold

In a little black hole

Of all the things to be

You've got Summer light freckles

You didn't need your ABC

Not flying away flying away



Chorus ~

Oh I walking in the dreamtime

The dreamtime

Oh I walking in the sun



Now your lying in a door way brother

Land of black fatigue

You say we braved the ocean

We crossed ten thousand leagues

You all stung the lashes

Of a hundred Captain Queegues

Not flying away flying away

Cut the name across your backbone

Stretch the skin across the drum

Set 'em up in some old island

Today 'till kingdom come

Stole that pinch gut pudding

Covered it with rum

Not flying away flying away



Chorus ~ x 2



Walking in the sun



Bridge ~

Spirits in the sky

Watch them roll by

Look & listen

Not flying away

Flying away
