Cattle and Cane - The Wedding Present

作词：Grant McLennan/Robert Forster

作曲：Grant McLennan/Robert Forster

I recall a schoolboy coming home

Through fields of cane

To a house of tin and timber

And in the sky

A rain of falling cinder

From time to time the waste

I recall a boy in bigger pants

Like everyone

Just waiting for a chance

His father's watch

He left it in the shower

From time to time the waste

Memory wastes the waste

Memory wastes

I recall a bigger brighter world

A world of books

And silent times in thought

And then the railroad

The railroad sends me home

Through fields of cattle

Through fields of cane

From time to time the waste

Memory wastes the waste

Memory wastes

Further

Longer

Higher

Older
