lyrics

The Great Dividing Range

Driving station wagon wondering why they kept on breathing
Hot north-west wind blowing from the desert,
Who?
Could not doubt that sleep was better
Than this roadhouse coffee, this RSL Club stew?

Wasted youth in the main street sneering at Picasso
Family drives on through the Western Plains
Ignoring traffic signs like good country families do
My father’s eyes were really cobalt blue

Everyone said his eyes were black, I never noticed
Never noticed before you
Everyone said his eyes were black
His black eyes were really cobalt blue
Tattered copies of Hamlet in the truck
Sad eyes watching the coal mining trains
and his black eyes would then explain

Lend me your learning, your soiled education
We fled to the city, cross the Great Dividing Range
And recoil in contempt at the lure of mere sensation
We fled to the city, cross the Great Dividing Range
Can beautiful minds survive in rural isolation?
Now we must return to the Great Dividing Range

Hey, I’m heading west across the Great Dividing Range
I’m heading west across the Great Dividing Range
I’m going home, I’m going home
Sad eyes watching the coalmining trains
Can beauty and love survive amidst these treeless plains?
I’m heading west across the Great Dividing Range
I’m going home
I’m going home

Going Home
