In the Dreamtime lyrics

The scent of smoke on desert wind

Beneath the Southern Cross

Far beyond where time begins

And generations lost

I could not be further from you

Now, with both feet on the ground

But in the dreamtime

Souls take flight

And I am a closer to you now

If I should lay me down to sleep

By forest green or shining lake

I could arise to find you gone

To take for granted my mistake

Yet I could not be further from you

Now, with both feet on the ground

But in the dreamtime

Souls take flight

And I am a closer to you now

Mountains crumble, forests vanish

Seeds awakened by the fire

Water, air and earth have born them

And I can feel my old ones near

Yet I could not be further from you

Now, with both feet on the ground

But in the dreamtime

Souls take flight

And I am a closer to you now

Flames are dancing in the fire

Timeless songs are on the air

In the wilderness they're crying

But there is laughter everywhere

And I could not be further from you

Now, with both feet on the ground

But in the dreamtime

Souls take flight

I am a closer to you now

I am a closer to you now
