Verandah

I wanna sleep on your verandah

And set my tent up for a week

The view I love on your verandah

It puts my mind so at ease

Auntie's fridge is padlocked

With all the meat and sweets inside

The bus comes and picks you up way too early

I don't feel like coming for a ride

Well, can't you sit with me? Can't you yarn?

Can't you tell me stories of people who have lived and passed on?

Can this wait? Well, this work and money

What's more important than sharing your stories?

Whistling, dance around the fire

It's a new moon

And you've shown me

Shown me how lovely that this world can be

Yeah, we're singing to the moonlight

We're singing to the sunshine

Singing to the moonshine

Singing to the sunrise

I wanna cook damper on a fire and bully beef stew

And sit under the rising of the moon

I wanna stay up fishing and laughing with you

Underneath the starry gaze of our ancestors

Whistling, dance around the fire

It's a new moon

And you've shown me

Shown me how lovely that this world can be

Yeah, we're singing to the moonlight

We're singing, we're singing, we're singing

We're singing to the sunshine

Yeah, we're singing, we're singing, we're singing

Singing to the moonshine

Singing to the moonshine

Singing to the sunrise

We're singing to the sunrise

I wanna sleep on your verandah
