The scent of smoke on desert wind, beneath the southern cross,
Far beyond where time begins, and generations lost.
I could not be further from you now,
With both feet on the ground.
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
And I am closer to you now.
If I should lay me down to sleep, by forest green or shining lake,
I could arise to find it gone, to take for granted my mistake.
Yet I could not be further from you now,
With both feet on the ground.
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
And I am closer to you now.
Mountains crumble forests vanish, seeds awakened by the fire,
Water air and the earth have born them and I can feel my own ones near.
Yet I could not be further from you now,
With both feet on the ground.
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
And I am closer to you now.
Flames are dancing in the fire, timeless songs are on the air,
In the wilderness theyâre crying, but thereâs laughter everywhere.
Yet I could not be further from you now,
With both feet on the ground.
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
And I am closer to you now.
