Always Back To You Songtext
von Eric Bogle

They say the heart′s a lonely hunter
Always searching for a home
That in every soul there is a hunger
To find the place where it belongs
I came to this land as a stranger
Year by year the deep love grew

And that's why every road I travel
Leads always back to you

For I have heard the humpback singing
The ocean filling with his song
I′ve heard the bellbird's notes come ringing
Through a misty forest dawn
And I have seen the brolgas dancing
On dreamtime land at Kakadu

And that's why every road I travel
Leads always back to you


I′ve camped in my swag out in the desert
Been humbled by infinity
As the moon and the stars in glittering concert
Turned desert sand to silver sea
I′ve felt my heart break with the beauty
As a red sun set on Uluru

And that's why every road I travel
Leads always back to you

I′ve drank with my friends in bush and city
I've laughed and sang all through the night
Their friendship is a flame that warms me
Their love and care a guiding light
It′s a hard and lonely journey
Without friends to help you through

And that's why every road I travel
Leads always back to you

And that′s why every road I travel
Leads always home to you
