Black Smoke
We hoped that in the great unknown we'd find peace of mind
No bother of which direction to go or to keep in time
But take me back to those mid
Nineteens, those days aren't out of sight
And now we're here I can't promise
You no fear but we'll keep this alight
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Did we spend our days living this way to keep the dream alive?
I'm counting coins but I'm happy this way by the country side
I see you there, chasing a way to feed your appetite
And now you're here and you're living in fear inside your paradise
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
My home is right here where I'm lying
And I'll keep on with visions of Bawaka and land providing
My home is right here and I'm flying
Over ancient coloured inlets and culture and these things that bind me
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
No bother of which direction to go or to keep in time
But take me back to those mid
Nineteens, those days aren't out of sight
And now we're here I can't promise
You no fear but we'll keep this alight
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Did we spend our days living this way to keep the dream alive?
I'm counting coins but I'm happy this way by the country side
I see you there, chasing a way to feed your appetite
And now you're here and you're living in fear inside your paradise
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
My home is right here where I'm lying
And I'll keep on with visions of Bawaka and land providing
My home is right here and I'm flying
Over ancient coloured inlets and culture and these things that bind me
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
