Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy
day down in the harbor
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone
will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the
summer for a million years
Great Southern Land, burned you
blackSo you look into the land and it
will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
And they make it work, with sticks and bones
See their hungry eyes, its a hungry home
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
They burned you
black,
black against the ground
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone
will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the
summer for a million years
Great Southern Land, in the sleeping
sun
You walk alone with the ghost of time
Where they burned you
black,
black against the ground
And they make it work with rocks and sand
I hear the sound of the strangers voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
You walk alone with the ghost of time
And they burned you
black
Yeah, they burned you
black
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
