CGCFCAmDmG
The scent of smoke on desert wind, beneath the southern cross,
CGCFCAmDmG
Far beyond where time begins, and generations lost.
CFC
I could not be further from you now,
AmFG
With both feet on the ground.
CGC
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
FCGC
And I am closer to you now.
CGCFCAmDmG
If I should lay me down to sleep, by forest green or shining lake,
CGCFCAmGC
I could arise to find it gone, to take for granted my mistake.
CFC
Yet I could not be further from you now,
AmFG
With both feet on the ground.
CGC
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
FCGC
And I am closer to you now.
CGCFCAmDmG
Mountains crumble forests vanish, seeds awakened by the fire,
CGCFCAmGC
Water air and the earth have born them and I can feel my own ones near.
CFC
Yet I could not be further from you now,
AmFG
With both feet on the ground.
CGC
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
FCGC
And I am closer to you now.
CGCFCAmDmG
Flames are dancing in the fire, timeless songs are on the air,
CGCFCAmGC
In the wilderness they'??re crying, but there'??s laughter everywhere.
CFC
Yet I could not be further from you now,
AmFG
With both feet on the ground.
CGC
But in the dreamtime souls take flight,
FCGC
And I am closer to you now.
