The faces in the photographs are fading |
|
I can't believe he looks so much like me |
|
For its been ten long years today since I left for old Cork Station |
|
And I won't be back till the drove is done. |
|
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina |
|
The drover finds it hard to change his mind |
|
For the years have surely gone like the drays from old Cork Station |
|
And I won't be back till the drove is done. |
|
It seems like the sun comes up each morning |
|
Sets me up then takes it all away |
|
Dreaming by the light of the campfire at night |
|
Ends with the early light of the day. |
|
I sometimes think I'll settle back in Sydney |
|
It's been so long and it's hard to change your mind |
|
For the cattle trail rolls on and on, the fences last forever |
|
And I won't be back when the drove is done. |
