You got dressed and you left Sold your possessions on the web Cos we don’t need many things When all the baggage is in our head
I wondered what you saw In the girl across the Nullarbor But she took your heart and your hand And she stole you across this great wide land
But you know I’m gonna reach you there You know I’m gonna find you out And I’ll pull your heart right out of that town You know I’m gonna reach you there And I’ll woo your heart And we’ll dance from shore to shore Back across the Nullarbor
Seems there’s nothing in between Just the stretch of the desert and one lonely tree But in all our history It’s got us hanging on that one fine string
But you know I’m gonna reach you there You know I’m gonna find you out And I’ll pull your heart right out of that town You know I’m gonna reach you there And I’ll woo your heart And we’ll dance from shore to shore Back across the Nullarbor
So I set upon my way And I’m tripping over stones and the epiphany it came When I came across the man amidst the dust and he said to me “You know… you’ve gotta go home.” “You know,” don’t I know you’ll say no
You know I thought I’d reach you there You know I never had a doubt I thought I’d pull your heart right out of that town But even if I met you there I couldn’t win your heart Gotta turn myself around… Back across the Nullarbor.
