Love Song2

LOVE SONG2 BY JEDD BOYAN

When banksia grows in the devil’s yard And black crows scorn red meat, When stained glass breaks into a single shard And the protesters admit defeat Then my love will come back to me

When our beds stop burning And lizards love the cold, When trumpets start learning And stories with friends remain untold

Then my love will come back to me

When our cracked screens fall silent

And the jacaranda blooms bright blue, When Pacific waves are no longer violent Then I will take her word as true

That she will come back to me
