‘Blues for Fred’ 

Worried about Fred
A pioneer, he wandered

A patch of dry sand
The lie of the land

Oh, when did I leave the ground?

I sign my name, sign your name
Loops largely the same

Soles of my feet and my toes
Mountainous echoes

Music to measure the ground

Fresh water to wash my eyes
Worried about Fred, bushfires

Wattle boughs hush, hush
Fred lost in the bush

Oh, when did I leave the ground?

Paint the ceremonial
Mobile, silver minimal

A long line when I got it
Stable there, think about it

Oh, when did I leave the ground?
Oh, when did I leave the ground?
