t’s a long way back Up the hill to the house by the track And the seeds are curling down into the mud And I lay down and sob with the wild oats towering above ‘cause you told them all that i’m the liar
And the trees bend down to wrap me up I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove The secret spilling from my beak Is a song singing truth that’ll set me free The trees bend down, wrap me up I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove The secret spilling from my beak Is what you did to me...
And I walk on alone Fill my pockets with riverbed stones Where the reeds are reaching out to touch the sky And you never cared to see when the wild woman danced in me And you told them all that I’m the liar
And the trees bend down to wrap me up I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove The secret spilling from my beak Is a song singing truth that’ll set me free The trees bend down, wrap me up I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove The secret spilling from my beak Is what you did to me Oh, have a look....
Come home heart Touching clouds with your dirt-stained glove A box of leaves and spinifex buried in the mud And you never cared to see when the wild woman danced in me And you told them all that I’m the liar
