PARADISE (Under the Tall Trees)


(Words and Music : Alf Davies)


Thigh-deep, sticky mud
Leeches, specks of blood
Pleasure, could it be this?
Mossies, loving kiss
Where are we going now
Did I hear you say, we're going down?
To paradise, under the tall trees
Under the tall trees

Wire grass, rotting logs
Contours, lead to bogs
Blind bluff, tricky ridge
More mud, swordgrass thick
Where are we going now
Did I hear you say, we're going down?
To paradise, under the tall trees
Under the tall trees

Nettled, scratched and wrapped
Swamp-gums, a gully trap?
The wall parts, alluring gap
Tall Beech, on no map
Where leads this easy way
Did I catch a glimpse of a Mountain Grey?
And an Ash in light, such a tall tree
This is paradise, under the tall trees

Paradise, under the tall trees
Paradise, under the tall trees
Paradise, under the tall trees
Paradise, under the tall trees
