Jess McAvoy, Alicia Madison - All Alone Lyrics

I wasn't even twenty
when I jumped a white sedan
we took the straightest road that we could find
from here to there
found on the Nullabor this sleepy giant land
the start of something beautiful while taking in the air

we were all alone

as a kind I warmed my back on bitumen
and watched the day go down
the heat would hold the eucalypt
for long into the night
my dad and I walked barefoot
as it was getting dark
and we'd sing back together
with the sound of dying light

we were all alone

there's a sky that knows me like nobody knows me
when my feet are on that land
there's a heat that holds me like nobody knows me

There are no magpie mornings
on this other end of earth
the winters take forever
just to give you back the sun
people talk in seasons here,
my bones they start to hurt
'cos I've been chasing sunsets
since I first learned how to run

And I'm all alone
We are all alone

there's a sky that knows me like nobody knows me
when my feet are on that land
there's a heat that holds me like nobody knows me

reminds me who I am
