Nullarbor Song Lyrics

Nullarbor Song
Capo II

Intro: G D Em C
G
When the fire burns out here
D
It’s brighter than the city lights
Em C
Warmer than a heart of gold
G D
And dingos howl just to break the silence
Em C
The sun comes up just to break the cold
G D
Last night I woke with the stars looking back at me
Em C
Swallowing the sky
G D
I felt no anger I felt no shame
Em C
I felt no reason to cry

D G
If I'm not here in themorning
D G
I'll cry a river of tears
D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C G
But my heart is staying here

G D Em C
G D Em C

G D
When it's quiet out here a hundred miles away
Em C
You can hear the train on the line
G D
The whistle blows just to break the silence
Em C
I wave just to break the time
G D
I close my eyes, I think of runnin' water
Em C
I think of runnin' away
G D
But the fires burnt to ashes and it's darker than before
Em C
But I can see as clear as day

D G
If I'm not here in themorning
D G
I'll cry a river of tears
D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C G
But my heart is staying here
D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C G
But my heart is staying here
