Chris Wilkie - Roots Take Hold Lyrics

Nine months and I'm out of there
Out from in between
Winters day down on Garden Road
Was only the beginning

Barely saw the motherland
Four short years too brief
Double deckers at the road side
And pebbles on the beach

Wind blows and children play
Roots take hold like willow trees
Where the wind blows

Crying like a baby
High across the world
Heading for a promised land of sunshine and coast

Augusta on to Christies Beach
Sands between my toes
And music deep inside of me had found a place to grow

Wind blows and children play
Roots take hold whooo hooo
Like willow trees
Where the wind blows

Wind blows whooo hooo
Children play yeh
Roots take hold
Like willow trees yeh

Wind blows whooo hooo
And children play yeh
Roots take hold oooooh
Like willow trees
