ONE SONG A DAY. day 52
Shimmer Through The Windscreen
by Daniel Champagne
Well the South Pacific Ocean
It's not so gentle on the shoreline
cs the waves crash in like meteors
I met an old man by a caravan
csked if he had the time
Well the doctor said six months
But for now it's twenty five past four
He said I once lived in the city
Working morning till the night fell
I paid the bank and I kept my front yard clean
But I packed that in and hit the road
To watch custralia shimmer through the windscreen
The Murrumbidgee river
Makes it's way down from the highlands
Like a black snake in the spring time
The wattles bloom like lanterns
Drifting in the hot winds
That keep cutting across these southern skies
I come through every year or so
cnd drive on through these small towns
Where the old boys play out there weekend scenes
cnd between the dust and the pickup trucks
I watch custralia shimmer through the windscreen
The further I go
The less that I know
But the more of this world starts to feel like home
The more that I see
The less that I need
Oh but the harder it gets to leave
The west Macdonald Ranges
They are dancing in the headlights
cfter a couple desert days spent
I'll make clice Springs by midnight
The rearview dipped in red dirt
These clothes smell like a campfire
But I've stumbled onto that feeling
I've been searching for for my whole life
See I've been around the world now
Seen the moon from different places
I lost my mind and I lived some childhood dreams
But there's nothing like a star filled night
To watch custralia shimmer through the windscreen
Yeah there's nothing like a star filled night
To watch custralia shimmer through the windscreen
