Three Australian Bush Songs
Silence greets the glowing orb at dawn
Lighting bush with misty innocence
Dry Harsh, Hard Dark, Sparse
This land that is lit by whispering rays
Fire and Gold
They dissolve the morning dew
Waking the birds
Shaking the shadows from their wings
The day comes alive with calls and cries from bleary throats
Bringing life and harmony unto this land
This Dry Harsh, Hard Dark land
This land that is lit by whispering rays of dawn
Morning chorus, Birds sing for us
Welcome us in their own way to this day
Morning chorus, Birds sing for us
Welcome us to this new day
Currawongs all sing their song
with kookaburras and cicadas
Morning chorus, Birds sing for us
Welcome us in their own way to this day
Through the day they sing away
A cooing, wooing under rays of sun
Caressing, feeding, resting in the shade of trees
They hide from heat of day
They sing away
A cooing, wooing under rays of sun
Caressing, feeding, resting
All these cries are part of our big bird song chorus.
They sing for us
Welcome us in their own way to this day
Brid song chorus, They sing for us
Welcome us to this new day
Currawongs all sing their song
with kookaburras and cicadas
Brid song chorus, They sing for us
Welcome us to this new day
Sunset here the image is furnace molten metal
The sky and glow that sinks in the pool of the purple night
Summer beckons, the heat it threatens to harm
But the warmth of the day now
sinks away to sleepy stars
Sunset here the image is furnace molten metal
The sky and glow that sinks in the pool of the purple night
The sunset that sinks in the pool of the purple night
