Paul Kelly - Nukkanya lyrics

Outside the dogs are barking And the morning sun is breaking through the trees My heart is feeling heavy As I listen to the moaning of the breeze Nukkanya, baby, I really don't want to leave There's a ticket in my pocket I'd toss it if I only had my way And a suitcase in the hallway I wish I could unpack it now and stay Nukkanya, baby, I'm gonna be back some day Nukkanya Don't it go to show what a man don't know Nukkanya Nukkanya, baby, I really don't want to go My land was once a river I hate to see it slowly bleeding dry My love is like an eagle High across the valleys she will fly Nukkanya, baby, I'll see you by and by Nukkanya Don't it go to show what a man don't know Nukkanya Nukkanya~ baby, I really don't want to go
