summer lyrics
[intro]
he pointed to the edge of the river
with a hand still shaking
“that’s where the nightmare came”

[verse 1]
“bunya! bunya” the aunties screamed
as the jarjums began to run
“nihinganha! quickly! to the tops of the trees!”
they shot ’em down like leaves in autumn

[chorus]
so i go there in the summer, the summer
to pay my respects
but there’s no headstone
and where’s our ‘lest we forget’?
i’m reminded each summer, each summer
with a flag around your neck
that it was, and it always will be

[verse 2]
after the gunshots echoed down the valley
a young rider came
under a possum skin on a dead mother’s breast
a babe survived amongst the slain
[chorus]
so i go there in the summer, the summer
to pay my respects
but there’s no headstone
and where’s our ‘lest we forget’?
i’m reminded each summer, each summer
with a flag around your neck
that it was, and it always will be

[outro]
well i could take you there this summer
we could pay our respects
and there’s no guilt, bro
but although, you might need to jump the fence
and it’s not for me to forgive
god knows we can’t forget
that it was, and it always will be
that it was, and it always will be
that it was, and it always will be
