lyrics

HANUSH’S WATERHOLE
W.HARGREAVES / T.FULLERTON

IT WAS A HAZY DAY UPON THE CAPE
AS WE MADE OUR WAY ALONG TRACKS THROUGH ANT CITIES
AND THEIR CATHEDRALS OF SUNBAKED CLAY

REMNANTS OF THE WET TIME SOAKS WE SEE
ARE DRIED AND STRETCHED AND CRACKED
SCALE-LIKE SKINS OF MUD

ANCIENT FRONDS OF SLIVER TOP THE SPIRALLED SILVER TRUNKS
SPRUNG FROM THIS ANCIENT SOIL
INTO A SHINING BLUE SKY

WE FOUND HANUSH’S WATERHOLE
A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME
HANUSH’S WATERHOLE, A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME

THE WEATHERED ROCK FORMATIONS
TELL THE TALES OF YEARS GONE BY
ONE HUNDRED MILLION STORMS

AND SOULS OF THOSE WHO’VE STOOD
UPON THE BANKS UNDER THE SHADE OF WIZENED TREES
AND BLAZING SUN

AS THEY GAZED INTO THE RIVER DEEP AND OLD
WITH EYES WIDE OPEN AND THEIR SENSES PRIMED
FOR DANGER LURKS BENEATH
THAT SHIMMERING SURFACE ALL AGLOW
AND TIME STANDS STILL
AND STILL IT’S LONG AGO

HANUSH’S WATERHOLE, A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME
HANUSH’S WATERHOLE, A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME

SPIRIT TIME

AS WE REMINISCE ON DAYS WE SPENT THERE
IN SUSPENSE AND FELT THE ABSENCE
OF THE TICKING HANDS OF TIME

WE WONDER WHO WAS THIS HANUSH
AND HOW IT WAS HE CAME TO LEAVE HIS NAME
UPON THIS PLACE, THIS SACRED, ANCIENT LAND
RINYIRRU COUNTRY

HANUSH’S WATERHOLE, A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME
HANUSH’S WATERHOLE, A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME
HANUSH’S WATERHOLE, A PORTAL STRAIGHT BACK IN TIME
