William Crighton - Water and Dust Lyrics




We are the children
Water and dust
We belong to mother
She don't belong to us
Slow wheel of justice
Grinding fine
This highway is an old song line

Every track eventually leads to water
They who fight and run away
Live to fight another day in the disorder

Some say I'm dying
Say I'm fixing to kill
Some say I'm learning to change
Say I never will
Tell me a day when a rooster don't crow
When a dingo don't howl
And the river won't flow

Every track eventually leads to water
They who fight and run away
Live to fight another day in the disorder

Great is the sin when suffering's caused by the jaws and claws of the institution
You suffer I suffer you bleed I bleed
You and I we both see red
And those who see through the eye of emu
Walk away from the castle of the dead

We are the children
Water and dust
We belong to mother she don't belong to us
Slow wheel of justice
Grinding fine
This highway is an old songline

Every track eventually leads to water
And he who kills a kinder man
Lives to die again and again and again
You can't break free from it
No you can't break free from it
