Botany Bay: Recent Episodes
Botany Bay
Winter
Fingerprints on the window pane Like someone’s been here just yesterday An empty home, an empty street All boarded up and no one to meet
The war is over The war is over The war is won
And whispers carried by the wind Of lovers’ oaths and broken dreams And cherished letters like leaves blown from trees Once meant the world, now soaring free
The race is over The race is over The race is run
The world is over The world is over The world is gone
The world is over The world is over The world goes on
Wolfpack
Brother Running to the water
Sister Leading the way
The wolfpack travels Feeling the sunlight
The wolfpack travels Feeling the world
Father Strong as the mountain
Mother Bright as the day
The wolfpack travels Everything’s holy
The wolfpack travels We shall be free
Never take it away from me
The wolfpack travels Everything’s holy
The wolfpack travels We shall be free
Serenade
Mountain top Hear the nightbirds calling Wide awake A new day dawning Listen to the serenade Listen to the serenade That’s been playing all this time
Age of reason Wish for an angel Manufacture Your very own hell Waiting for the hurricane Waiting for the hurricane That’s been coming all this time
Mountain top Everything is different New life Everything is silent Listening to the serenade Listening to the serenade That’s been playing all this time
