I sing you close to me

(Binau)

 

Dm-Fdim-Bb – Dm-Fdim-Dm

INTRO: Gone – gone - gone

 

BB                                        F                  C   

You know what’s inside a rock, a bush or a tree

BB                                        F         C

You tell me that you can’t eat the scenery

BB                                        F          C

The path goes back – older than old

BB                                       F            G  

You don’t want our jewels, money or gold

 

Chorus:

Dm

At first I looked

But did not see

Fdim     Dm

Now I sing you close to me

 

Everywhen has been 22.000 years

The last two hundred were cut by tears

You own the present, the future and the past

Time will suffice, dreamtime will last

 

They took them to geol or house of God for a start

Forgot to look at the color of the heart

Quarter of a million gone like the spinifex* you burn

Whitefella will never learn

• Wild grass

 

Last chorus:

Dm

At first I looked

But did not see

Bdim     Bb (Dm)

Now I sing you close to me
