Lyrics

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean Stranded like a runaway lost at sea City on a rainy day down in the harbor Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay Looking everywhere cause I had to find you This is not the way that I remember it here Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island Hidden in the summer for a million years Great southern land Burn you black So you look into the land, it will tell you a story Story about a journey ended long ago Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains Maybe you can hear them talking like I do They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you Are you gonna let them take you over that way? Great southern land Great southern land You walk alone Like a primitive man In the naked world With sticks and bones See the hungry eyes It's a hungry home I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground Standing at the limit of an endless ocean Stranded like a runaway lost at sea City on a rainy day down in the harbor Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay Looking everywhere, I had to find you This is not the way that I remember it here Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island Hidden in the summer for a million years Great southern land In the sleeping sand You walk alone With the ghost of time And they burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land You walk alone Like a primitive man In the naked world With sticks and bones See the hungry eyes It's a hungry home I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyes Great southern land Great southern land They burn you black Black against the ground In the naked world With rocks and sand I hear the sound Of the strangers' voices See the hungry eyes Their hungry eyesAnd they burned you black Yeah they burned you black Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land You walk alone Like a primitive man In the naked wood With sticks and bones See their hungry eyes It's a hungry home Great southern land In the sleeping sand You walk alone With the ghost of time Well, they burn you black Black against the ground And they make it work With rocks and sand Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land Great southern land
