It was a long drive
Over two hundred k’s of dirt
We watched the country change from slopes to plains
Stands of Yellow Box
Turned to Malley greens and greys
And a beauty kept unfolding that day
She is cruel, she is tender
She’ll leave you open-mouthed in wonder
One day paradise, another hell
You can fall in love and never know her well
Some have come here
Falling for her charms
Not knowing or ignoring what’s at stake
Falling victim
To her powerful expanse
Defeated by a fleeting romance
She is cruel, she is tender
She’ll leave you open-mouthed in wonder
One day paradise, another hell
You can fall in love and never know her well
And we rode on
Through little outback towns
Clinging to her hard and dusty ground
Never far from
The memorials that prove
The best were only ever passing through
Well, she is cruel, she is tender
She’ll leave you open-mouthed in wonder
One day paradise, another hell
Oh, she is cruel, she is tender
She’ll leave you open-mouthed in wonder
One day paradise, another hell
(She is cruel, she is tender) She is cruel, yeah
(She’ll leave you open-mouthed in wonder) She is tender
(One day paradise, another hell) She is paradise
You can fall in love and never know her well
