A song written to honour the adventurous spirit of a woman who had passed away alone in her travelling home, at a roadside rest stop outside of Broken Hill not long before we pulled in.

lyrics

RED DIRT, SALT BUSH AND DAISIES
T.FULLERTON / W.HARGREAVES

IT WAS JUST ANOTHER ROADSIDE REST STOP
A PLACE TO MAKE HER HOME FOR THE NIGHT
IN THE RED DIRT, SALT BUSH AND DAISIES

SHE STRETCHED HER LEGS, A LITTLE MORE FRAIL NOW
AND TOOK IN THE ENDLESS EXPANSE
THE BLUE SKIES AND DESERT HORIZON

THEN LEAVING HER SIDE DOOR WIDE OPEN
CURTAINS SWAYING IN THE COOL AUTUMN BREEZE
SHE LAY DOWN TO WATCH THE SKY TURN A GOLDEN ROSE GLOW

HOW COULD SHE KNOW

THAT THIS WOULD BE HER VERY LAST SUNSET
FOR AS SHE LAY THERE HER SPIRIT SLIPPED AWAY FROM HER BODY
AND TOOK FLIGHT…..
FLIGHT
FLIGHT
FLIGHT

HER LITTLE BUS STOOD STILL FOR THREE DAYS THERE
IT WAS TOLD BEFORE THEY TOWED IT AWAY
AND TO THE MORGUE TOOK HER BODY WORN AND GREY

HER FEET LEFT THEIR IMPRINT SO BRIEFLY
OUT THERE ON THAT DUSTY OLD PLAIN
IN THE RED DIRT, SALT BUSH AND DAISIES

OUT IN THE RED DIRT, SALT BUSH AND DAISIES
OUT IN THE RED DIRT, SALT BUSH AND DAISIES
OUT IN THE RED DIRT, SALT BUSH AND DAISIES
