Boomerang in Paraguay Lyrics

Boomerang in Paraguay
Words and Music: Graeme Connors
William Lane dreamed a dream
About a new tomorrow where true freedom reigned
When every man and woman too
Would live a just and peaceful life in this fair land
But dreamers come and dreamers go
The winds of change refused to blow - so
William Lane took to sea
True believers searching for their new domain
With Bon Voyage and Auld Lang Syne
The "Royal Tar" set sail for South America
But dreamers come and dreamers go
All there is is all we know
A slab hut in the jungle
Sliprails on the plains
Coffee coloured children
With Anglo-Spanish names
A picture perfect garden
Choked and overgrown
And a Boomerang in Paraguay
So far away from home
Instrumental...
William Lane took his dream
Sailed across that mighty ocean once again
Settled down lived his days
Somewhere in the shadow of the long white cloud
Cause dreamers come and dreamers go
All they leave is all we know
A slab hut in the jungle
Sliprails on the plains
Coffee coloured children
With Anglo-Spanish names
A picture perfect garden
Choked and overgrown
And a Boomerang in Paraguay
That's never coming home
