Close As A Whisper (The Gift) (Remaster) - Lee Kernaghan[00:00:00]
Written by:Lee Kernaghan/Colin Buchanan/Garth Porter[00:00:00]
I tumbled into life [00:00:08]
Out on the western line[00:00:11]
A simple gathering[00:00:14]
Of melody and rhyme[00:00:16]
Written down and tweeked a bit [00:00:20]
Ink pen on manuscript[00:00:23]
Little town Little song[00:00:27]
Lookin for somewhere to belong[00:00:33]
Sat in a bureau drawer[00:00:39]
Pulled out then performed[00:00:43]
For a governor and mayor[00:00:46]
A law clerk scratched me down[00:00:52]
Next mornin we left town[00:00:55]
And he was hummin as we rode[00:00:59]
And I wondered where we'd go[00:01:06]
On and on round and round[00:01:10]
Far and wide am I bound[00:01:13]
I'm a gift I'm a drifter[00:01:17]
Always wandering free[00:01:20]
On and on like the wind[00:01:23]
I am home I am friend[00:01:26]
And you'll always be as close[00:01:29]
As a whisper to me[00:01:33]
Some shearers headin south[00:01:42]
Sang me to Jackie Hall[00:01:45]
First time he ever[00:01:48]
Shore a hundred in a day[00:01:50]
I rode the silver rails[00:01:54]
I crossed the mountain trails[00:01:58]
They sing my story[00:02:01]
From the cape to Morton Bay[00:02:03]
And send me on my way[00:02:08]
On and on round and round[00:02:13]
Far and wide am I bound[00:02:16]
I'm a gift I'm a drifter[00:02:19]
Always wandering free[00:02:22]
On and on like the wind[00:02:25]
I am home I am friend[00:02:29]
And you'll always be as close[00:02:32]
As a whisper to me[00:02:35]
As Private Monroe gentle sang[00:02:52]
I floated over no mans land[00:02:55]
I've seen the tears[00:02:59]
Of countless lonely sons[00:03:01]
I've crossed the raging seas[00:03:05]
Wound up in symphonys[00:03:08]
Was there in victories[00:03:11]
Been sung on bended knees[00:03:15]
I'm just the notes and verse[00:03:18]
Nothing more and nothing less[00:03:21]
You'll find me at the stock camp[00:03:24]
As they're passin' out the rum[00:03:26]
Out near where I'm from[00:03:32]
On and on round and round[00:03:36]
Far and wide am I bound[00:03:39]
I'm a gift I'm a drifter[00:03:42]
Always wandering free[00:03:46]
On and on like the wind[00:03:49]
I am home I am friend[00:03:52]
And you'll always be as close[00:03:55]
As a whisper to me[00:03:58]
On and on with this swag[00:04:03]
And an old tucker bag[00:04:06]
Singing who'll come a Waltz'n Matilda[00:04:11]
With me[00:04:18]
