In The Dreamtime

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