RICK FORD ≈ Lyrics

Dreamtime
Rick Ford

Dreamtime coming
Taking me away
To where there’s no tomorrow
No yesterday

Dreamtime coming
Taking me and you
To see Yidaki play
The first didgeridoo

Dreamtime take me
Way up high
To where the Blue Mountains
Touch the sky

Dreamtime take me
Way down low
Where the Snowy River
Meets the valley floor

Dreamtime send me
To the great beyond
To hear our fathers singing
The earth’s great song

Dreamtime take me
To when time began
To when our Great Sun mother
Brought life to the land

Her eyes were the light
That made the grasses grow
Her breath was the air
That brought life from below

She woke from her cave
In the Nullabor Plain
She made the seasons
And she made the rain

Dreamtime take me
To my people’s home
To where the kookaburra and the dingoes
And the dingoes roam

To when Rollo Mano
Made the stars in the sky
When the sparks from his fire
Flew way up high

And when Tane te waira
Took clay in his hands
And he breathed sunlight
Into the first woman

And when Gurangatch
Fled from Mirragan
And they made the caves
At Jerolan

Dreamtime coming
Taking me and you
To see Yidaki play
The first didgeridoo

Dreamtime coming
I go to meet my friends
Where there’s no beginning
And there’s no end

Dreamtime coming
Taking me away
To where there’s no tomorrow
And no yesterday
No tomorrow, no yesterday
No tomorrow, no yesterday
