Текст песни Petrichor - Live from Sydney Opera House, 2017 - Paul Kelly

It hasn't rained for 6 months or more
Until today A sudden pour
Oh I can smell the petrichor outside
The sighing ground gives up its love
Unto the breeze and the trees above
Suddenly your phantom shoves my soul

I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I sure want you

I never loved you more than when
I turned & walked into the wind
And left you leaning on an unknown friend behind
I walked straight into my head
Hardest thing I ever did
Seabirds wheeling overhead crying

I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I sure want you

I wish I knew the names of things
Of trees and flowers, birds that sing
You're much better at that kinda thing than me
I don't know these??
You fill me in with human need
You taught me petrichor our secret sign

I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I sure want you

I sure want youI want you
