Mutton Birds - Too Close To The Sun слова песни
(Words: Don McGlashan - Music: David Long/Don McGlashan)It`s so dry hereOne spark and the whole place could go upI think I`ll stop and get a drink hereSomething like the picture on the poster I saw a few miles backA green can on a nest of iceLike the egg of some Antarctic birdAnd I`ve seen this town in a dreamI was running away>From something that I didn`t want to seeIt was a day like todayI watched the sky melt over Highway OneAnd I felt too close to the sunNeighbour of mineGot out of his car somewhere down country in weather like thisJust disappearedLeft the engine runningPolice came to talk to his wifeI watched them from my windowShe was shaking her headThe cops were standing, with their big hands hanging downAnd I`ve seen this town in a dreamI was running away>From something that I didn`t want to seeIt was a day like todayI watched the sky melt over Highway OneAnd I felt too close to the sunWho`s that yonder dressed in white?(An old man kneeling on the bowling greenShiny with gin and brilliantine)He might as well have stepped from a satellite(Looks at me and gets up slowlySmiles and waves as if he knows me)And I`ve seen this town in a dreamI was running away>From something that I didn`t want to seeIt was a day like todayI watched the sky melt over Highway OneAnd I felt too close to the sunToo close to the sun
