Like the breeze I’ve been coasting

For many years now

Drifting in and out of work I’m gonna leave

But I don’t owe a thing, I’ve got nothing

So I’m even with the planet at the end of the day

And if I wake up in the sunlight

Where it’s playing on the floor

Through the window of another room

I’ve never seen before

Then I’m happy as that breeze

And I know I’ll be shifting onward anyway

And if I ever dream

That’s my bonus in the night

And if I dream of you

Then I know that you’re alright

We were chasing after gold and we blew it

We had love and we were young and we knew it

All I’m hoping is as sure as the road is open wide

That you got luck now on your side

I’ve been travelling the years

From Camooweal to Katherine

From Lambert to the Kimberleys

And every stretch of country in between

There’s not a day that I don’t hear the bell I carry

In my heart for you

I’ve seen cyclones over Capricorn

And monsoons coming in off summer seas

I’ve had winter-times when everybody swore there’d never be

Another rain to break the drought

And through it all that bell has always rung true

It doesn’t mean a thing

Every time I say your name

That bell is gonna ring

It don’t mean you feel the same

We were chasing after gold and we blew it

We had love and we were young and we knew it

All I’m hoping is as sure as the road is open wide

That you got luck now on your side

I’ve been hoping that you pray for me, cause silly as it sounds

There are days when I’m weary and the sun is going down

I look around and count my blessings from whoever gives them out

And you are one of those

Every night I try to find a place to sit and smell the weather

Watch the people, watch the lovers out together in the crowd

I remember you could always make me laugh aloud

And I miss that I suppose

Knowing what I know now

Seeing you would be so good

Would I let you go now

I can’t really say I would

We were chasing after gold and we blew it

We had love and we were young and we knew it

All I’m hoping is as sure as the road is open wide

That you got luck now on your side
