Nullarbor Song

When the fire burns out here it's brighter than the city lights
Warmer than a heart of gold
And dingo's howl just to break the silence
The sun comes up just to break the cold
Last night
I woke with the stars looking back at me
Swallowing the sky
I felt no anger,
I felt no shame
I felt no reason to cry
If I'm not here in the morning
Yeah I'll cry a river of tears
And I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
When it's quiet out here a hundred miles away
You can hear the train on the line
The whistle blows just to break the silence
I wave just to break the time
I close my eyes
I think of runnin' water
I think of runnin' away
But the fires burnt to ashes and it's darker than before
But I can see as clear as day
If I'm not here in the morning
Yeah I' ll cry a river of tears
I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
Yeah I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
