Walking  through the  high dry grass
Pushing  my way  though slow
Yellow  belly  black snake sleeping  on a red  rock
 waiting  for the stranger  to go
Sugar  train stops  at the crossing
Cane  cockies cursing  below
Bad storm  coming.  Better run  to the top  of the mountain
Mountain  in the shadow  of light
Rain  In  the valley  below  mountain in the  shadow of light
Rain well  you can Say  you're Peter  say  you're Paul
Don't  put me up  on your bedroom  wall
Call me  King  of the  mountain
Blacksmith  fires up  the bellows
Cane  cutters burning  to load
Workers of  the world run  to the top  of the mountain
I  can't take the hands from my face
There  are some things we  can't replace
 Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
Down  cobble stone alleyways  of washing  sheets
Up ghost  prairie mountains of  sunset and  space
Down  the road  a familliar  face
Across  the wilderness Out  further  than the bush
I  will follow you
I  will follow  you
I  will follow  you
