lyrics

You’re the queen of reassurance
You know just what to say
But the dean of my pride
Keeping vanity at bay

A glowing rainbow harlequin
With dazzling sleight of hand
the architect of my soul
And I trust your plan

You know when to build me up
You know when to tear me down
You know when to be my rock
and you know when to play the clown.

You’re the bushfire that burns
Through my arid badlands
The cascade of rain that
Breaks my drought once again

The River that connects my world
From the mountains to the sea
And all the life that it sustains
From the ground up to the trees.

You know when to build me up
You know when to tear me down
You know when to be my rock
And you know when to play the clown.

Harlequin, dean, architect, queen
Bushfire, rain, river and all it sustains.

You know when to build me up
You know when to tear me down
You know when to be my rock
and you know when to play the clown.
