Nullarbor / The Biggest Backyard

(앨범: Little Bird - 2010)

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high
Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky
And every now and then
I heard a vile tree cry my name

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

Covered up with red dirt as far as I could see
I shared it with the railway and the Aborigines
Southwest of Adelaide
All the way down to the sea and back

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

The sun would shine until the day I asked for it to rain
Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train
Ten cents on the track for days
Before it never came and went

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark
Rolling down the Gun Barrel Highway in the dark
Making sure that I had all the room here in my house
For me and all of the world

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
