Walking In The Dreamtime Lyrics - James Reyne

Went a`walking in the sunshine 

About a thousand Brumby ghosts 

Hunters bushmen bandits 

And fence wire on the posts 

Felt that ebony skin 

And felt the whole of the ivory coast 

Not flying away flying away 

Never been across the ocean man 

You didn't sail it out across the sea 

You didn't dig it for gold 

In a little black hole 

Of all the things to be 

You've got Summer light freckles 

You didn't need your ABC 

Not flying away flying away 

Chorus ~ 

Oh I walking in the dreamtime 

The dreamtime 

Oh I walking in the sun 

Now your lying in a door way brother 

Land of black fatigue 

You say we braved the ocean 

We crossed ten thousand leagues 

You all stung the lashes 

Of a hundred Captain Queegues 

Not flying away flying away 

Cut the name across your backbone 

Stretch the skin across the drum 

Set 'em up in some old island 

Today 'till kingdom come 

Stole that pinch gut pudding 

Covered it with rum 

Not flying away flying away 

Chorus ~ x 2 

Walking in the sun 

Bridge ~ 

Spirits in the sky 

Watch them roll by 

Look & listen 

Not flying away 

Flying away
