Broken Hill

from The Space Between by Simon Waldram

/

lyrics

A late November starless night
In the middle of Sturt Park
Two figures in the distance
Walk hand in hand through the dark

I turn away and walk on home
Past the Silver City Highway
Where cars drive through the powdered rust
From the storm that came yesterday

Dusty sunsets, deep red dawn
Houses dotted in lines so still
Oh wonderful, haunting Broken Hill

Sitting on the Line of Lode
As coal trucks pass us back
Down there on the road below
With sand in the grips of their tyres

The dust has settled down for now
But it will rise again
And by the creek a flower grows
Rising like the sons of our friends

Dusty sunsets, deep red dawn
Houses dotted in lines so still
Oh wonderful, haunting Broken Hill
