about
Our most requested song for years (until we tired of playing it ;-) about the early days of exploration of Australia. Pioneers tried to find their way to the top end but things went wrong in this hard country. In a museum in Australia, there is a tin plate with a man's last words scratched into it. His expedition ran out of water and perished there.
lyrics
There's water here, I tell you boy
If you know where to look
Walk a little further and we're swimming in that brook
Been a long time since I saw you
Been a long time, I'm heading home.
We set out fourteen weeks ago
To find our way across
Not for riches or glory boys
For something we had lost
Been a long time since I saw you
Been a long time, I'm heading home.
Now good luck hasn't found us yet
We're less than we set off
The sand is in our eyes and throats
We've all but had enough
Been a long time since I saw you
Been a long time, Yeah
So I scratch your name upon this plate
No water here was found
I close my eyes I see your face
I wish I'd turned around
Been a long time since I saw you
Been a long time, Yeah

Jay Som produced this twinkly alt-country album from an Oakland group who've probably got an extensive Grateful Dead bootleg collection. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 28, 2018
