Nullarbor (The Biggest Backyard) Lyrics

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e47018-kasey_chambers~nullarbor_the_biggest_backyard_lyrics.html ]
It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high
Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky
And every now and then
I heard a vile tree cry my name

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

Covered up with red dirt as far as I could see
I shared it with the railway and the Aborigines
Southwest of Adelaide
All the way down to the sea and back

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

The sun would shine until the day I asked for it to rain
Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train
Ten cents on the track for days
Before it never came and went

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world

Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark
Rolling down the Gun Barrel Highway in the dark
Making sure that I had all the room here in my house
For me and all of the world

When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
