lyrics

every tree felled is sheep for the grazing
and it's wood for the fence
it's a hard land, a dry land
but we'll tame it yet
and try to forget

my dreams are a hundred black faces
close my ears to the cry
and i wake in the morn for there's work to be done
the axe and the gun
and all you see is all you know

the moon rose as i cleared off the last one
rolled her into the stream
and up on the hill saw my dear daughter's eyes
just lookin' on me
and all you see is all you know
and all you see is all you know
