Mary Black - Crusader lyrics

There's a wilderness

It's a no man's land

Between Alice Springs and the ocean

Seventeen hundred miles of burning sand

And a silken thread keeps a hold on you

When the emptieness like a potion tends to fray your reason strand by strand

And there's no more need for the mask your wear

When the last goodbyes have been said

So kiss the cheeks of you dearest friends

And turn to the desert ahead

Now you're on your own like a sailing ship

You're the captain, crew and sailors

Turn around and this is what you see

Chorus

This me facing me all alone

'Cause I choose to be with the wind and the sun on me only me

Now you dream so much about being lost

Your ghost by a coolebah sleeping

Haunts you and whispers in your ear

Give up give up this lonely road

No one knows the promise you're keeping

You can't touch the emptiness out here

But the grace that mends this broken wing

The blue sky to regain

Will lift those feet and raise those eyes

To face the desert again

As the dawn reveals the journey's end

In truth it's only beginning

And it's as big as your eyes wish to see

Chorus
