John Williamson - Raining On The Rock Lyrics

Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,
we've just come out of the Mulga where the plains forever roll.
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,
And a shower has changed the lustre of his land.

Chorus
And it's raining on the Rock,
In a beautiful country,
And I'm proud to travel this big land,
Like an Aborigine.
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see,
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.

Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose
Where does their beauty come from heaven knows.
I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high,
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly.

Chorus

It cannot be described with a picture,
The mesmerizing colours of the Olgas.
Or the grandeur of the Rock
Uluru has power!

Chorus
