lyrics

I can see
So far
I can see
The whole backyard

I can see
So far
I can see
The neighbours house

Driving home
Long drive from the coast
Mum showed me where
Flannel flowers grow

Felt our car
Pull in to the drive
I kept eyes closed
Carried inside

You told me how
The stars go on forever
That are there things we’ll never know
and to count after lightning
To know how far away
It struck

My friend Mike’s
Head struck by that rock
We both threw them
My aim truer

In the park
A magpie swooped my head
I flew home as
scared as she was

You taught me how
I could be anything at all
So I became a dinosaur
Wearing flannel flowers
In her hair

I hope death
Is like coming home
Over the Blue Mountains
Stopping for chips

I hope death
Is like coming home
Back to the yard
With the tall smooth tree

Mum and dad
Will say come inside
But I’ll climb
So I can see

I can see
So far
I can see
The whole backyard

I can see
So far
I can see
The neighbours house

I can see
The world pulling back
No magpie
Will ever find me

I can see
So far
I don’t need to know
What comes next

I hope death
Is like coming home
Carried into bed
Knowing I am loved
