This song is about love for country, for flowers of the vine, it’s about feeling, reconciliation. It’s about the embodiment of that Garma spirit that’s been reawakened through the Garma Festival of Traditional Culture, an initiative of the Yothu Yindi Foundation.
[Verse 1]
On a warm July night
Moon and stars were in line
That's when I saw you
There in the crowd
You were dancing in line
Moving perfectly
Body's hot
Sweat on the ground
[Chorus]
If it's winter here
And summer there
I don't care
Just wanna be here
By your side
That's all I want
[Verse 2]
I'll whisper your name
When the morning comes
I'll give you my love
Meaningful love
From the Earth we feel
The Earth will heal
You touch my mind
You touch my heart
[Chorus]
If it's winter here
And summer there
The pain we share
We're two-of-a-kind
In my mind
That's all I want
[Verse 3]
That's when I saw you
There in the crowd
You were dancing in line
Moving perfectly
[Chorus]
When summer's here
And winter's there
The stars still shine
As seasons come
How reasons go
So must I
[Outro]
And so must I
So must I
And so must I
So must I
And so must I
And so must I
And so must I
And so must I
