by John Williamson It's not a hard place it's a soft and gentle land Gonna lay my bed on the soft and gentle sand Hear old man time whisper in my ear A thousand feet have been through here Hear the desert wind play a lonely tune Through the desert oak on a rusty dune Stay a while and it's all so clear A thousand feet have been through here Inka ninka pitjikala Take it slow take a look around All the signs are on the ground Bird and snake and lizard, kangaroo An ancient man has been here too Hear the desert wind play a lonely tune Through the desert oak on a rusty dune Stay a while and it's all so clear A thousand feet have been through here
