Bus+to+Canakkele*

Through the cascading hills to the coast Luckily Gliding No present invading army to send us into hiding
 * Bus to Canakkele **
 * =Original (by Mark Grant)= || =Song Adaptation= ||
 * We are travelling, gliding

In the bus Soft Spring light filters through the intermittent raindrops on the window. We are on our way to see The place of the largest Australian modern myth – Gallipoli.

All the ground we speed across On our way down to the old Canakkele town Has been fought for, gained and lost and won and lost again All the ground – as we head down for Canakkele in the gathering rain.

Makes thoughts race Beyond the glide To a place where history’s strategic stamp Has been placed on both the Asian and European sides.

GDEmCD In the bus, soft Spring light through the soft Turkish rain GDEmCD Every inch we speed across was once fought for, broken and stained CDCDC... We're heading down for Canakkele in the gathering rain.

We're travelling through the cascading hills, to our mythical coast Those who once shot at our grandfathers now our hosts The ground’s full of bones, but no need now for hiding from ghosts

In the Spring in a bus on our way down to Canakkele town My thoughts glide beyond myths and into the shared here and now To cross old divides deep into the heart of Canakkele town

Asian and the European sides, deep in of the then and the now

Makes thoughts race

Beyond the glide

To a place where history’s strategic stamp

Has been placed on both the Asian and European sides.
