Paul Kelly - Petrichor lyrics

It hasn’t rained, 6 months or more Till today, a sudden pour Now I can smell the petrichor outside The sighing ground gives up its love Unto the breeze and the trees above Suddenly your phantom shoves my side I don’t need you I don’t need you I don’t need you But I sure I want you I never loved you more than when I turned and walked into the wind And left you leaning on an old friend of mine I walked straight into my head The hardest thing I ever did Seabirds wheeling overhead crying I don’t need you I don’t need you I don’t need you I sure I want you I wish I knew the names of things Of trees and flowers, birds that sing You’re much better at that kinda thing than I And I don’t know these stars up here You’d fill me in if you were near You taught me petrichor, our secret sign I don’t need you I don’t need you I don’t need you But I sure I want you I sure I want you I want you Yes, I want you
