Colin Buchanan
Yaraka Dust
[Verse 1]
Well I've played a lot of shows
How many no one knows
But there’s a time I never will forget
A tiny outback Queensland town
Time to pass the hat around
But would anyone turn up to lend a hand?

[Chorus]
Yaraka Dust
Swirlin' in the sky
Picked up in the centre
And blowin' in
Yaraka Dust
As far as I can see
The spirit of this land is risin’ up
Yaraka Dust

[Verse 2]
In that empty afternoon
As the doubt began to loom
There on the horizon rose a cloud
As the sun was sinkin' low
Onward marched that steady flow
As thousands came in answer to the call
[Chorus]
Yaraka Dust
Swirlin' in the sky
Picked up in the centre
And blowin' in
Yaraka Dust
As far as I can see
The spirit of this land keep risin' up
Yaraka Dust

[Outro]
Oh, Yaraka Dust
