Tall Trees Lyrics

Watch out big ships are waiting
Salt frozen on your cheek
Saw a girl and boy arriving
And a steamer put out to sea

Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

Sun sleeps on misty morning
Light years from channel 3
I fell halfway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree

Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

And the roses you grow
Have a powerful scent
They'll be breaking your heart
By the morning

Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

Has anyone got any idea what this song is about? Is it metaforically about dying?

@mr_petit

I think it's referencing the arrival of immigrants to Australia.
