Tasmania Songtext
von Bill Chambers

There′s no break in the cloud where it meets the snow
Like a shroud across the mountainside
The storm closes in, darker than sin
As the swell rolls and lifts the tide

This smoky window looks across the bay
Waves crash along the sea wall
The winds are as cold as a sailor's grave
And the night creeps under my door

Well I wish I was sailing home
I was born in South Australia
But I′m stuck in this town alone
Somewhere in Tasmania


Today I went walking on the Esplanade
With the snow falling all around
The chilly south wind tears at my skin
Whips the blanketing white from the ground

Well I wish I was sailing home
I was born in South Australia
But I'm stuck in this town alone
Somewhere in Tasmania

Well I wish I was sailing home
I was born in South Australia
But I'm stuck in this town alone
Somewhere in Tasmania

Way down in Tasmania
