In the whisper trees, through hollow reeds
Don't ever look at the hollow trees
Don't believe what you read in the thunder sheets
Don't ever lift your head from your hollow dreams
You can never wake up, you can scream all you want
You can leave if you please, just don't look at

It's such a long, long, long, long way to go through fields of hope
Forget the whisper trees, you'll miss the hissing rope
Soon I'll get to your home in the sterile zone
Remember smoke, trees, reeds
Leave out those ceaseless screeds, please
But in a minute, I'll be gone
In a minute, I'll be long gone
So I can't look up, mm, no-no

Open up, I have come too far to run
My, my, my, what have you done?
From the time I'd open my hand
You'd just salt the land

In an empty paddock, your stock-feed rots
The echoes of the black dog haunt you
You refuse to understand
I'll never show my

If the door unlocks
Will I become the stubborn one
Who's only come to be a martyr?
I don't wanna talk it over
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
Not now, not ever
