Saltwater Songtext
von Judith Durham

We are a rock revolving around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountains
We′ll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
But when I hear about, the forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love but now that′s not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it′s slowly passing by (passing by)
Right before our eyes


We light the deepest oceans
Send photographs of mars
We′re so enchanted by how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries?
Saltwater wells in my eyes

(We are a rock revolving)
(Around a golden sun)
(We are a billion children rolled into one)
(So when I hear about the hole in the sky)
(Saltwater wells in my eyes)

I have lived for love but now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I′m crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it′s slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes
