Great Southern Land (Extended Mix) Cassian & Icehouse

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

So you look into the land, it will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hеar them talking like I do
They'rе gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way?

You walk alone
Like a primitive man
And they make it work
With sticks and bones
See their hungry eyes
It's a hungry home

I hear the sound
Of the strangers' voices
I see their hungry eyes

With the ghost of time
And they burned you black
