"Desert Dreaming" lyrics

I'm in the desert
It's very hot out here
The ground is red
Dry and cracked from the heat
I can't see anything alive out here

A shimmering surface
What do I see?
A man, white, brown, or black?
And he tells me that there is a lot to see and do in the desert
He takes me to his totem place
Look, kangeroos

"My totem," he says
"We throw boomerangs together"

His dog, or is it a dingo?
Chases the boomerang, barking happily
(Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark)
He tells me the desert isn't always dry
And that there is a wet season
When rain falls and wets the earth
Flowers with all the colours of the rainbow bloom
For everyone to enjoy

The man tells me I must leave for now
But that I can come back to this special place of colours and sound
Whenever I dream
