First Cousin

	I don't know the difference between you and the weather
	You covered me in dust and wet me through
	Felt a little nervous when we two were together
	Because you were like a storm that I could talk to
	We'd go between the cattle and the cane in the morning
	You said you didn't know where the road led to
	You just kept on walking when I balked at the warning
	Like it was simply something you had to do
	You walked on alone as I walked home
	And you thought you could control it
	And we thought you would come back
	They sold something that took sadness and solved it
	But Ben, you should have been scared of that
	Oh Ben, you should have been scared of that
	At an oval up in Isa, from where me and the boys stood
	It seemed the ruck would always tap to you
	You never backed down with your hands on the footy
	Relied on guts and muscle to get you through
	And, Ben, you had a body that was harder than iron
	And, kid, you had a mind that was sharp as steel
	And everybody knew it
	I guess we all relied on your heart to keep beating
	And the hurt to heal
	And you thought you could control it
	And we thought you would come back
	They sold something that took sadness and solved it
	But Ben, you should have been scared of that
	Oh Ben, you should have been scared of that
