There’s a serene tranquil calmness
Hovering over this panoramic bay
The cloudy sky’s silkily reflected
Upon it’s benign smooth waters
The shoreline’s fresh-air is gently cool
Creating a peaceful atmosphere of awe and wonder
Impressing local onlookers and tourist alike
Beholding a picturesque, enchanting balminess
Soothing to all those enraptured souls
Fortunate to view the waterfronts afternoon artistry
Blue Yonder: By David Francey, Lyrics
Here on the ground
It’s a long way down
To the land down under
And all I want to do
Is ride into the blue yonder
Id’ beep in the sky
And I’d be higher than high
And it’s no wonder
That all I want to do
Is ride into the blue yonder
Into the blue yonder
Into the blue yonder
All I want to do
Is ride into the blue yonder
I’d be up in the clouds
And I’d be laughing out loud
With the world to wander
And all I want to do
Is ride into the blue yonder
I’ll be into the blue
And I’ll be gone and through
And I’ll be out from under
And all I want to do
Is ride into the blue yonder
Into the blue yonder
Into the blue yonder
All I want to do
Is ride into the blue yonder
