Presently This Is An Untitled Song

A zany celebration of jaw harp, steel guitar and Aussie wildlife, travelling from Berlin to Tasmania.

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/cwkF6MZ8E4k

and here's the lyrics:

Possums in the pumpkin patch,
Possums up the tree.
Clogging in boots on the ole tin roof,
Rattling through my sleep,
Rattling through my sleep.

Wombat digging in the underground,
Soft paw shuffle at night.
Hide inside a hollow log,
Lord those Devils can bite,
Lord, those Devils can bite, whoo, they can bite.

Cane toads hanging at the riverside,
Cane toads at my door.
Nobody loves ‘em, everybody hates ‘em,
Ain't gonna sing no more.
Ain’t gonna sing no more, 
Ain’t gonna sing no more!

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
Ain't gonna sing no more.
Whoo!

Two years ago today, on Rudi's birthday, we released "Dream of Hebrides", our first collab. We decided to release another version, we had created, at a later date, but where does the time go, Rudi said this morning.... as it is 2 years later, on this anniversary, that we now give you that version.
A big happy birthday Rudi, and thankyou for letting me share your beautiful music, always magic to work with you <3 
Keep safe and well everyone!

Lyrics
We are all just grains of sand
But together we form the shore
And we are all just tiny sparks
But we fill the sky with stars

And we are all just breath
But it forms the wind that cradles the grass
And we are all just tiny streams
But together we fill the Sea

An we are all just a moment in time
Just a moment in time
But together Eternity
But together Eternity
But together Eternity
