Emily Wurramara - Verandah Lyrics

I wanna sleep on your verandah
And set my tent up for a week
The view I love on your verandah
It puts my mind at ease
Aunties fridge is padlocked
with all the meat and sweets inside
The bus comes and picks you up way too early
I don't feel like coming for a ride


Well, Can't u sit with me?
Can't u yarn?
Can't u tell me stories of people who have lived and passed on?
Can this wait? Well, This work and money?
What's more important then sharing your stories


Whistling, dance around the fire
It's a new moon
you've shown me
shown me how lovely that
This world can be

Yeah we're singing to the moonlight
We're singing to the sunshine
Singing to the moonshine
Singing to the sunrise


I wanna eat damper on a fire.. and bully beef stew
And sit under the rising of the moon
I wanna stay up
fishing and laughing with you
Underneath the starry gaze of our ancestors

Oohooh. Ooh. X 4



Yeah we're singing to the moonlight (we're singing x2)
We're singing to the sunshine
Singing to the moonshine (singing to the moonshine)
Singing to the sunrise (singing to the sunrise)
Oooooh. X 4



Whistling, dance around the fire
It's a new moon
you've shown me
shown me how lovely that
This world can be


Yeah we're singing to the moonlight (we're singing we're singing)
We're singing to the sunshine (Yeah we're singing, we're singing)
Singing to the moonshine (Singing to the moon shine)
Singing to the sunrise (Singing to the sunrise.)




Ooh ooh ooh ooh x 2
I wanna sleep on your verandah"
