lyrics

Thought I saw the stag's head pinned high on the blue gum tree
just a broken bough, a torn t-shirt tied round the leaves
I came home all thistled, with deep purple knees;
I was tired to the bone

An outside cat will still come home, if it's cold
And if it don't come back, kid
it's just that home is wherever the light goes

Cap the bottle's whisper and catch the water's cough
Tear this cotton dress away from me, take your coat off
moss'll make a bed on the slippery rock
when you're tired to the bone

You drink your whiskey - I will drink my thistle milk
from the bowl of that belly I know
we both ought to try harder to fill

Who will climb the slope of that green mosquito hill?
Who will sleep in that soft grass again?
Who will swell like a red, red fruit, and let the land have its kill?
When you're tired to the bone
you will
