Colin Buchanan - North Bourke Bridge lyrics

There's sunshine in the south-east There's rain to the north-westAnd Gundabooka's brewing up a storm The sleeping Bogan River Winds its gentle track And the locals said they knew that I'd be back ... Coz once you've crossed the North Bourke Bridge (And) stood on the dust of an Ancient red ridge Oh-oh the locals know The outback calls you back They knew that I'd be back Black feet on the red dust Walk an ancient land Never tamed and hard to understand The gidgee and the redgum Stand in silhouette And I know the dreaming isn't over yet ... There's the fading glow of sunset The creeping black of night Gundabooka sleeps in silver light And I stand in Lawson's footsteps Solitary and small And in the stillness hear the distant call
