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 got nothing, so I’m even with the planet at the end of the day

 

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

 

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 comin’ in off summer seas

I’ve had wintertimes 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

 

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

 

You got luck now on your side.
