[Verse 1] They're closing down the countryside Ghosts beyond the fibro zone Bushfire summer's closing on The army huts at Ingleburn Leave your friends and debts behind Leave your best dress on the line There was no boom to buy this time No waves to ride [Chorus] Where once we ran we stand at Runaway Bay Where once were trees is sand at Runaway Bay Where once was forest is wasteland Whеre once was good is bad land Wherе once we walked we run to Runaway Bay [Verse 2] I never found the Golden Mile But the red doors of Kalgoorlie Were always open wide To pass some time To put me back on line I worked the Snowy Mountain Scheme I cut the northern Queensland cane I farmed out on the western plain It's much the same I'm sleeping under stars tonight There's colours in the sky tonight A hundred voices come to mind Talk to me sometimes [Chorus] Where once we ran we stand at Runaway Bay Where once were trees is sand at Runaway Bay Where once was forest is wasteland Whеre once was good is bad land Wherе once we walked we run to Runaway Bay [Outro] Where once we ran we stand at Runaway Bay Where once were trees is sand at Runaway Bay Where once was forest is wasteland Whеre once was good is bad land Wherе once we walked we run to Runaway Bay I never found the gold of mine
