I think I (Bm)hear the sounds of then and peo ple (D)talk ing, (Bm)scenes re called
by mi nute (D)move ment, and (Bm)songs they fall
from the back (D)ing tape; that (Bm)cer tain tex ture, that cert ain smell.
To lie in sweat on fa mi (D)liar sheets in brick ven eer on (E)fi nanced beds,
in a room,
of sil ent (D)hard i flex; that (Bm)cer tain text ture, that cer tain smell.
It brings home the (Bm)heav y days,
brings home the night time (E)swell.
(Bm)Out on the pa ti o, we’d sit (Bm)and the hu mi di ty we’d breathe.
(Bm)We’d watch the light ning crack o ver (D)cane fields and laugh and think, this is Aus tra li a.
