lyrics

There's a smoke around Australia reaching up above the hills
And it's seeping through the doorways of the gentrified old mills
My vision is as cloudy as a drunken old mans sight
But I can see the birds all taking to the mallee bush by flight

Think I might grab my things
I'm heading down the mountain
And I'm following the streams
Just to hear the birds all calling
And to smell that sweet soil

There's the groaning of the traffic jam all flowing through my ears
To just to rid my mind of what it means will take me several years
My eyes are feeling restless for a clear and starry night
But I can't see through all the fog and all the fake polluted light

Think I might grab my things
I'm heading down the mountain
And I'm following the streams
Just to hear the birds all calling
And to smell that sweet soil

Our feet are burning footsteps in the wooden oak stairwells
I sure know where I've come from where it goes I sure can't tell
Will you take my hand and lead me to the floor of my delight
But will we find the place all ransacked by some thieves the other night

Think I might grab my things
I'm heading down the mountain
And I'm following the streams
Just to hear the birds all calling
And to smell that sweet soil

If there's one thing that I'm saying then it sure is hard to tell
If the thing that I'm a searching for is in a whisper or a yell
Is the one to blame as hidden as the echoes in my mind
Or as clear as all the mistakes that I've had to leave behind

Think I might grab my things
I'm heading down the mountain
And I'm following the streams
Just to hear the birds all calling
And to smell that sweet soil
