lyrics

Petrichor

A far cry from the coast
On the flat grass plain of summer
The wind hurls dust at everything the sun has baked the ground

Sheep have picked the paddocks brown
And call out for their tucker
Everywhere the water’s low the sky is bleached as bone

Clouds to throw us shadow,
Are nowhere to be seen
Across the land like dancing sprites Willy-Nillys spin us feathers

We all wait and watch for signs
Tapping tanks and tapping glass.
Sleepless nights feel dangerous

The heat drops just before sun.
Rises through the haze again
Enough time for some shapely clouds to sneak in from the south


High clouds build and by midday
The heat under the blanket grey
Has fans full speed and curtains drawn,door and windows
Closed at dawn

Then whip cracks and rumble across the sky.
First drops kiss the ground and steam rises
From tin roofs from hot rocks and parked cars.
And the smell of dust ….The smell of dust... Perfume
