about

Recorded on a laptop in the camper van on a hot desert day after a long walk on which I bumped into an old prospector making a brew. of billy-tea. We chatted and swapped stories, as you do.

lyrics

40,000 YEARS

Out in the desert in a landscape so old
I met an old prospector looking for gold
he told me his tale of a life full of dreams
where every thing’s real but not what it seems
the endless wars have taken their toll
he follows a trail forty thousand years old

He's taking a chance...

he spoke of the dark and the sound of its breathing
the stones and their singing at night like the sirens
the panning, the scraping, the digging of doubt
the just one more hole before he pulls out..
an endless search for a secret untold
on a well worn trail forty thousand years old

I love this country I love this land.
it wrinkles and folds like on elders worn hands
red dirt on my boots in my socks and my nails
travelling deep on the wallaby trails
its endless horizons and twisting back roads
following trails forty thousand years old

I wait for a sun rise at Tcharkulta Rocks
for the briefest of moments everything stops...
. . . .
day life is stirring and night life retreats
minutes from daylight are seconds of peace
from an endless night a new day explodes
on a sacred trail forty thousand years old

I’m dancing the dance
