Sing You The Outback Lyrics - John Williamson

I'll sing you the desert, where blackmen sailed 

Waterhole to water, where whitemen failed 

See the face of dreamers, forgotten souls 

Hear the voice of cattlemen crackle in the coals 

Maybe we will learn what's written in the sand 

A thousand generations living off the land 

I'll sing you the waters, runnin' through the town 

Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down 

The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free 

No way can I find an end to what it means to me 

The Outback 

I'll sing you the miners, steel and coal 

Opals and diamonds, silver and gold 

Emeralds and sapphires, I wish for you 

Holes in the outback, down below 

There's lakes and there's rivers, caves to be found 

And there's another landscape underground 

I'll sing you the waters runnin' through the town 

Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down 

The backbone of the women who fight on and on 

The healing of the sunset when all is said and done 

The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free 

No way can I find an end to what it means to me 

To what it means to me 

The Outback 

To what it means to me 

The Outback 

To what it means to me 

The Outback 

To what it means to me 

The Outback
