Theres a wilderness
Its a no mans land
Between alice springs and the ocean
Seventeen hundred miles of burning sand
And a silken thread keeps a hold on you
When the emptieness like a potion tends to fray your reason strand by strand
And theres no more need for the mask your wear
When the last goodbyes have been said
So kiss the cheeks of you dearest friends
And turn to the desert ahead
Now youre on your own like a sailing ship
Youre the captain, crew and sailors
Turn around and this is what you see
Chorus
This me facing me all alone
cause I choose to be with the wind and the sun on me only me
Now you dream so much about being lost
Your ghost by a coolebah sleeping
Haunts you and whispers in your ear
Give up give up this lonely road
No one knows the promise youre keeping
You cant touch the emptiness out here
But the grace that mends this broken wing
The blue sky to regain
Will lift those feet and raise those eyes
To face the desert again
As the dawn reveals the journeys end
In truth its only beginning
And its as big as your eyes wish to see
Chorus
