Yaraka Dust

(album: The 25th Annivesary Album - 2017)

Well I've played a lot of shows
How many no one knows
But there's a time I never will forget
A tiny outback Queensland town
Time to pass the hat around
But would anyone turn up to lend a hand?

Yaraka Dust
Swirling in the sky
Picked up in the centre
And blowing in
Yaraka Dust
As far as I can see
The spirit of this land is rising up
Yaraka Dust

In that empty afternoon
As the doubt began to loom
There on the horizon rose a cloud
As the sun was sinking low
Onward marched that steady flow
As thousands came in answer to the call

Yaraka Dust
Swirling in the sky
Picked up in the centre
And blowing in
Yaraka Dust
As far as I can see
The spirit of this land keep rising up
Yaraka Dust

Oh, Yaraka Dust
