A Quiet Camp
Give me
A quiet camp
In a remote national park
Any day
Over a caravan park
Where the snakes
Bake quietly
And roo's abound
Fleeting qlimpse'es
Of things between the gums
And dingos howl
From across the other ridge
With the setting sun
Give me
A quiet camp
Out where
Bushman still roam
They stand tall
On a low hill
And watch
The goings on
Give me
A quiet camp
Where the silence
And cicadas
Are deafening
The stars
Shine brighter
Than any street lamp
Give me
A quiet camp
Where theres
No rubbish lying about
And white toilet paper
Dots the ground
Give me
A quiet camp
Where theres
No people around
And i will show you
The bush
Where animals abound
Give me
A quiet camp
Out where the roustabouts
Made a push
Near where
The dead men lie
And the pioneers
They still whisper
On the wind
Give me
A quiet camp
So i can
Lay my head down
