Desert Child - John Williamson

Sun goes down in the evening west

Now you can see nature’s best

Red and gold in their full

Now you can feel the evening cool

Desert child lay down your head

And listen to what’s being said

Stars are out in their majesty

Out here everyone is free

Desert child lay down your head

And listen to your song

Desert child lay down your head

And listen to your song

Hear the crows, back they come

To spend the night in the river gum

Soon the owl will softly glide

Chilpa better run and hide

Close your eyes the fire is low

We’re all here for you, you know

Mum-Mum sings a lullaby

Baby don’t you cry
