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
Saying I won't be back
Till the droving's done
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
Till the droving's done
It seems like the sun
Comes up each morning
Sets me up then takes it all away
For the dreaming by the light
Of the campfire at night
Ends with the burning light of day
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
Till the droving's done
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
Till the droving'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 trail goes on and on
And the fences roll forever
And I won't be back
Till the droving's done
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
Till the droving's done
And I won't be back
Till the droving's done |
