Sailing to Australia Songtext

von Dougie MacLean

Now that the storm has broken now that the winds blow cold
There's nothing here but trouble and fear to make a man grow old
Now as our reasons are fading now as the walls tumble down
With nothing to hide but hunger and pride won't make a man look round

So i'm leaving yes i'm leaving
Of fortune's sweet pleasures to find
I'm sailing out to australia

Now that our dreams are illusions now that our future has gone
We've nothing more to hold or lay over to help a man hold on
Now as our hearts lie so heavy now as our heads hang so low
There's nothing here to catch or come clear to help a man say no

They say there's gold and there's silver they say a man can come clean
Just stake out some land and just reach out his hand and touch that new world dream
They say it's warm and it's pleasing out in the new south wales sun
And so i must go from this cold highland snow now that the hard times have come
