Tarkine Lyrics by Midnight Oil
There’s a red bridge in the mountains
Where the Tarkine trees reach multi-coloured skies
They cast shadows on the painted ground
And to get there, well, I just close my eyes
Well I lost myself when I walked through you
All that I have now
Is a souvenir of you
There’s a lexicon of forest giants
Coachwood, Myrtle, Blackwood and Turpentine
In this hi-viz world I must have missed the turn
‘Cause all I found were billboards, flyers, and merchandise
Well I lost myself when I fell for you
I can’t remember
But the love is o so true
Well I lost myself when I walked through you
All that I have now
Is a souvenir of you
