Close As A Whisper (The Gift)
I tumbled into life, out on the western line A simple gathering of melody and rhyme Written down and tweeked a bit, Ink pen on manuscript Little town Little song Lookin for somewhere to belong Sat in a bureau drawer Pulled out then performed For a governor and mayor A law clerk scratched me down Next mornin we left town And he was hummin as we rode And I wondered where we'd go On and on round and round Far and wide am I bound I'm a gift, I'm a drifter Always wandering free On and on like the wind I am home, I am friend And you'll always be as close As a whisper to me
Some shearers headin south Sang me to Jackie Hall First time he ever shore a hundred in a day I rode the silver rails I crossed the mountain trails They sing my story from the cape to Morton Bay And send me on my way On and on round and round Far and wide am I bound I'm a gift I'm a drifter Always wandering free Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com On and on like the wind I am home, I am friend And you'll always be as close As a whisper to me
As Private Monroe gentle sang I floated over no mans land I've seen the tears Of countless lonely sons I've crossed the raging seas Wound up in symphonys Was there in victories Been sung on bended knees I'm just the notes and verse Nothing more and nothing less You'll find me at the stock camp As they're passin' out the rum Out near where I'm from
On and on round and round Far and wide am I bound I'm a gift I'm a drifter Always wandering free On and on like the wind I am home, I am friend And you'll always be as close As a whisper to me On and on with this swag And an old tucker bag Singing who'll come a Waltz'n Matilda with me.
