Testo di Diamantina Drover

The faces in the photograph are faded And i can't believe he looks so much like me For it's been ten long years today since i left for old cork station And i won't be back 'til the drovin's done Refrão: 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 'til the drovin's done It seems like the sun comes up each morning Sets me up and then takes it all away For the dreaming by the light of the campfire at night Blends with the burning light of day And 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 'til the drovin's done I sometimes think i'll settle back in sydney But it's been so long and it's hard to change your mind For the cattle trays go on and on, and the fences roll forever And i won't be back 'til the drovin's done (refrão 2x)
