The Rabbits: Where? - Live

This land is bare and brown
And the wind blows empty 'cross the plains
I have walked these plains for the whole mem'ry of my soul
And the soul of my mothers
And the soul of my fathers' fathers
We have been the life of these plains
Ghosts on these plains

The wind, once full
The grass, once green
There were plants in our hands
That time seems so long ago now

Where is the rich, dark earth, brown and moist?
Where is the smell of rain dripping from gum leaves?
Ev'rything familiar is gone
Ev'rything I counted on
I can't run, I can't swim away from this land

This land is bare and brown
And the wind blows empty 'cross the plains
I have walked these plains for the whole mem'ry of my soul
And the soul of my mothers
And the soul of my fathers' fathers
We have been the life of these plains
Ghosts on these plains

The wind, once full
The grass, once green
There were plants in our hands
That time seems so long ago now

Where is the rich, dark earth, brown and moist?
Where is the smell of rain dripping from gum leaves?
Ev'rything familiar is gone
Ev'rything I counted on
I can't run, I can't swim away from this land

Where is the rich, dark earth, brown and moist?
Where is the smell of rain dripping from gum leaves?
Where are the billabongs?
The long-legged birds?
Where are the rivers?
They used to run clear, now they're eaten by mud.

Where is the rich, dark earth, brown and moist?
Where is the smell of rain dripping from gum leaves?
Where are the billabongs?
The long-legged birds?
Where are the rivers?
They used to run clear, now they're eaten by mud.
Who will save us... from the Rabbits (whispered)
