《Little Girl From The Dryland》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Girl From The Dryland - John Williams

[00:00:19] Perfectly pretty

[00:00:22] Perfectly shy

[00:00:26] Little girl from the dryland

[00:00:29] Wondering why

[00:00:31] There's no trees on the south side

[00:00:34] To stop that howling wind

[00:00:37] Little girl from the dryland

[00:00:43] Only the creaky weatherboards

[00:00:45] Painted the milky green

[00:00:48] Keeping that scary world outside

[00:00:54] It's banging on the windows

[00:00:57] Blowing the washing off the line

[00:01:00] Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

[00:01:15] Two older brothers

[00:01:18] Your sister and you

[00:01:21] One little nipper

[00:01:23] Another one due

[00:01:26] Hiding under the homestead

[00:01:29] When strangers come along

[00:01:33] Father out on the wheatfield

[00:01:38] Only the creaky weatherboards

[00:01:41] Painted the milky green

[00:01:44] Keeping that scary world outside

[00:01:50] It's banging on the windows

[00:01:52] Blowing the washing off the line

[00:01:56] Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

[00:02:10] You hide the whisky

[00:02:13] But then what for

[00:02:16] Your father is awake to you

[00:02:22] But you are protector

[00:02:25] And your mother always knew

[00:02:28] You wondered why you were born

[00:02:30] Out on a wheatfield

[00:02:33] You know there is much more to life

[00:02:36] Than sky and endless plains

[00:02:39] Your father told you stories of the war

[00:02:45] Of Singapore and Paris

[00:02:47] And or how you long to go

[00:02:51] But you are young

[00:02:52] And stuck out on the dryland

[00:02:57] Only the creaky weatherboards

[00:03:00] Painted the milky green

[00:03:03] Keeping that scary world outside

[00:03:09] It's banging on the windows

[00:03:11] Blowing the washing off the line

[00:03:15] Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

[00:03:24] Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

[00:03:32] Calling out for that little girl on the dryland
