I'm just posting the lyrics for the benefit of others....

IN THE DREAMTIME   

Ralph McTell

The scent of smoke on desert wind
Beneath the Southern Cross
Far beyond where time begins
And generations lost.

I could not be further from you now
With both feet on the ground
But in the Dreamtime
Souls take flight
I am a closer to you now

If I should lay me down to sleep
By forest green or shining lake
I could arise to find you gone
To take for granted my mistake

Chorus

Mountains crumble forests vanish
Seeds awakened by the fire
Water earth and air have borne them
And I can feel my own ones near

Chorus

Flames are dancing in the fire
Timeless songs are on the air
In the wilderness they're crying
But there is laughter everywhere

Chorus
