Lyrics
Morning starts down by the wharf Boats asleep beside the tide Coulls Inlet shining silver-blue As the jetties slip on by Low across the quiet water Fifteen metres in the air Autumn light on Lakeside edges Salt and sunshine everywhere
And the boardwalk bends through green and gold Where the fishing platforms stand Then the lake opens wide below us Like a song across the sand
Oh, endless horizon, open sky Silver water rolling by From the wharf to Bastion Point Where the lake and ocean lie Catch the sunburst on the bay Let the old blues drift away Mallacoota in the morning light Makes the whole world feel all right
Across the lake the town grows smaller Foreshore quiet, soft and green Just a few campers in the parkland Best old autumn you've ever seen Captain Stevenson keeps his watch Over channels, sand and tide Then down towards the inlet mouth Where the blue sea opens wide
And the sandbars curve like golden ribbons Through the shallows clear and bright Every turn becomes a picture Every shadow fills with light
Oh, endless horizon, open sky Silver water rolling by From the wharf to Bastion Point Where the lake and ocean lie Catch the sunburst on the bay Let the old blues drift away Mallacoota in the morning light Makes the whole world feel all right
There's a small surf on the beach today And the golf course glowing green A quiet town, a turning tide The finest view you've seen From high above the inlet bends The worries fall behind Blue on blue and gold on green Peace of a coastal kind
Oh, endless horizon, open sky Silver water rolling by From the wharf to Bastion Point Where the lake and ocean lie Catch the sunburst on the bay Let the old blues drift away Mallacoota in the morning light Makes the whole world feel all right Oh, endless horizon, wide and bright Lake and sea in morning light Blue forever, green and gold A quiet beauty to behold
Endless horizon… Morning rolling slow… From the wharf to Bastion Point Where the easy waters flow Mallacoota in the light Mallacoota in the light
