Have you ever camped on a gibber plain ten miles from a shanty town
And each hill reveals no beyond and no limit
And time and space is gone
If you ever camped......
Perhaps you know just how I feel tonight
Have you ever seen the dusk stretch out over mesa valley
And lines of scrub streaming out with unseen water
Where drivers dust settles over track and in creek beds like fog
If you never saw ......
Perhaps you know just how I feel tonight
the Milky Way drowns out the sound
Of groaning jets heading west
star shadow emu dreaming the land it walks
Now I've settled under flaming skies
I just can't know how I feel tonight
And each hill reveals no beyond and no limit
And time and space is gone
If you ever camped......
Perhaps you know just how I feel tonight
Have you ever seen the dusk stretch out over mesa valley
And lines of scrub streaming out with unseen water
Where drivers dust settles over track and in creek beds like fog
If you never saw ......
Perhaps you know just how I feel tonight
the Milky Way drowns out the sound
Of groaning jets heading west
star shadow emu dreaming the land it walks
Now I've settled under flaming skies
I just can't know how I feel tonight
