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
