OUTBACK

Seems every dream I've had has faded away
Now I hope against hope and I pray every day
That the one dream I still dare to dream might come true
At least for me and you

There's a place I've never been but long to go
I can see it clear in my mind's eye down an old dirt road
There's a little house that's tucked back in the trees
With an old rope swing and an open door
On a front porch that creaks

And there's a brook outback
Where the water whispers by
Where the willows cry for a world gone mad
And honey you and I can try and find some sanity
By living simply and loving truly

The truth is I don't know quite what to say
But your smile makes me smile
And your kiss gives me strength for another day
But this old heart has many scars and it's hard as stone
And I'm wondering whether learning to love again
Is better than being alone
But my last remaining dream is haunting
Telling me to go where I've never been
And open up and let you in
Will you share my burden
Can I trust you
To help me through

And to not look back
But help me reach for the sky
And let me cry when I am sad
Oh, darlin' I need you to help me find some sanity
By living simply and loving truly

Well it's a crazy world and I'm a crazy man
For falling in love with you
Wont you come with me and be my love
And maybe get a little crazy too

By the brook outback
Where the water whispers by
Where the willows cry for a world gone mad
Oh, honey, you and I 
Can try and find some sanity
By living simply and loving truly
