lyrics

3000 miles, Brisbane to Halls Creek
The burden is on you, you don’t want to leave
For Gooniyandi Land, you made the sacrifice
You surrender in body but your spirit stayed behind

Pre-CHORUS
Gooniyandi land, now that I belong
I came here for you, I came here for your song

We smoked the house with sage, and let bad spirits leave
Remember the smoke alarm it was ringing in my ears
I could not hear myself or pace out a plan
I was haunting my own house, haunting the land

Pre-CHORUS

CHORUS
Summoning Spirit and Country (you sing)
Featherfoot leaves no trace
Summoning Spirit and Country (you sing)
Together we’ll find our way

If ownership follows, everyone has a story
I gave up on my own, you were here before me
The pain’s all one side and if its my heart
They fly me down to Perth but no one has an answer

A white bullamen on the road, I swerve to miss a ghost
On the way back from Fitzroy Crossing, I let go of control
The car lands upside down, I did not know my place
There is no story to share until we name our mistakes

Pre CHORUS

CHORUS x 4
