Lyrics

With blue hills ...... in the distance It's morning and we're gazin' through the window of the Ghan Rockin' rollin' rollin' out across the timeless land Winding thru the spinifex and miles of burning sand With blue hills ...... in the distance People having breakfast in the comfort of the train Diesel engine humming as she echos by the range Building up momentum as we coast across the plains With blue hills ...... in the distance Big old red buck kangaroo he stops to sniff the air Shakes his head and looks about for danger anywhere Old man emu makes a dash with the youngster in his care With blue hills ...... in the distance Hey! Instrumental Namajira's famous gums and ochre coloured plains Sandy creeks that flow nowhere excepting when it rains Mulga stands and desert lands that time has never changed With blue hills ...... in the distance Willy Willy winds it's way across the great expanse Sweeping up the rolly polly in it's spiral dance, hey Building up with fury as it winds across the plain With blue hills ...... in the distance It's morning and we're gazin' through the window of the Ghan Rockin' rollin' rollin' out across the timeless land Winding thru the spinifex and miles of burning sand With blue hills ...... in the distance With blue hills ...... in the distance
