I love an Aussie summer like the sailor loves the sea.
Its endless shades of colour are a source of joy to me.
The many shades of brown against a constant blue
The nightly flame of sunset tinges all an orange hue
Although I see it a thousand times and a thousand times beside
In any other country I'll ne'er be satisfied
I love an Aussie summer like the sailor fears the sea
I respect her fiercest love and I love her ferocity
With scorching sun or relentless rain
With horrible heat or friendless flame
She drains me dry and saps my energy
Yet no other way would I quite have her be
I love an Aussie sky like the sailor loves the sea
The unflagging blues of summer I nowhere else have seen
On any given day a thousand emotions spark
At the sight I see above me from sunrise til after dark
With awe and fear and wonder, with dispair, distress and hope
The skies are nowhere bluer than when I am at home
