Lyrics
Ooh, ooh Here we go
August came in blue and gold Warm sun breaking through the cold Not a breath across the trees Not a ripple underneath
Howe Range rising, dark and green Clearer than I've ever seen And the lake beneath the sky Opened wide and let me fly
No road to follow No line to cross Just water turning And winter lost
We're flying over winter glass Blue above and blue below Every island, every channel Showing us the way to go
From the forest to the ocean From the inlet to the sand Mallacoota in the sunlight Shining like it always can
Ooh, carry me Over winter glass
Harrison's Channel curls away Silver in the morning rays Rabbit, Goat and Horse below Resting where the shallows glow
Black swans drifting, two by two White wakes cutting through the blue Every turn reveals another Hidden corner, hidden colour
No walls around us No crowded sky Just open water And room to fly
We're flying over winter glass Blue above and blue below Every island, every channel Showing us the way to go
From the forest to the ocean From the inlet to the sand Mallacoota in the sunlight Shining like it always can
Past the Narrows, past the bars Sunlight flashing off the cars Fishing boats are heading home Engines rolling through the calm
Far beyond the lake's blue edge Gabo waits beyond the haze And its lighthouse holds the skyline Like it's held it all these days
Some days hit like thunder Some leave smoke behind Some days simply open And clear your crowded mind
No grand explanation No promise, no command Just an August sun reminding us There's beauty where we stand
Oh, there's beauty where we stand
We're flying over winter glass Blue above and blue below Every island, every channel Showing us the way to go
From the forest to the ocean From the inlet to the sand Mallacoota in the sunlight Shining like it always can
We're flying over winter glass Where the lake and heaven meet With the warm sun on the water And the whole world at our feet
No need to name the feeling No need to understand Mallacoota in the sunlight Shining like it always can
Ooh, carry me Over winter glass
August came in blue and gold Warm sun breaking through the cold
