Peter Garrett Kangaroo Tail
The kangaroo tail glints in the sun
And the freckle boys paddle out at Curly
Mascot smells sweeter than eucalypt gum
I'm coming home to blue hills in the morning
Lt's a journey that lasted as long as my youth
I never was one to quit early
But the miles and white lines are a sign of the times
I'm coming home to blue hills in the morning
So many places I wanted to know
Ended up dreaming of you
So many places I happened to see
Ended up thinking of you and me
I wish all my friends could see with my eyes
What I can't tell them just by talking
Masses of red roofs in early sunlight
Out of the gullies red wings are afire
L'Ve seen wars and dark places. glass castles of kings
Jewels and junkyards the craziest things
The satellite salesman's glittering nose ring
Coming home to blue hills in the morning
Yes I dreamed of the sandstone cliffs
Washed by the dawn
Longed for the white cradle
That guards the lagoon
In the arms of my true love I'm coming home soon
Coming home to bwe hills in the morning
It's a journey that's lasted as long as my youth
The satellite salesman has hung up his noose
The light on the hill picks me up its the truth
I'm coming home to blue hills in the morning
