Petrichor Lyrics - Paul Kelly

It hasn't rained for 6 months or more 

Until today A sudden pour 

Oh I can smell the petrichor outside 

The sighing ground gives up its love 

Unto the breeze and the trees above 

Suddenly your phantom shoves my soul 

I don't need you, I don't need you 

I don't need you, I sure want you 

I never loved you more than when 

I turned & walked into the wind 

And left you leaning on an unknown friend behind 

I walked straight into my head 

Hardest thing I ever did 

Seabirds wheeling overhead crying

I wish I knew the names of things 

Of trees and flowers, birds that sing 

You're much better at that kinda thing than me 

I don't know these?? 

You fill me in with human need 

You taught me petrichor our secret sign 

I don't need you, I don't need you 

I don't need you, I sure want you 

I sure want youI want you
