Great Southern Land by Icehouse


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 gray 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 it's a prisoner island

Hidden in the summer for a million years

 

Great southern land

Burned you black

 

So you look into the land and it will tell you a story

Story 'bout a journey ended long ago

If you 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 it's 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 gray 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 it's 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

They then burned you black black against the ground

And they make it work with rocks and sand

 

I hear the sound of the stranger's 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
