A Thousand Years Ago - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Written by：Raymond Rose[00:00:02]

As I sit here on my verandah[00:00:06]

And watch the sun go down[00:00:09]

And listen to the sounds[00:00:11]

That make this quiet coastal town[00:00:13]

I watch the traffic passing by[00:00:16]

On the highway down below[00:00:18]

And I wonder now what brought me here[00:00:20]

So many years ago[00:00:23]

Where the plains climb through the mountains[00:00:26]

And the rivers all ran wide[00:00:28]

The rains came in their seasons[00:00:31]

To dress the countryside[00:00:33]

And a place called west of sundown[00:00:35]

Where the western breezes blow[00:00:38]

Now seems a million miles away[00:00:40]

And a thousand years ago[00:00:42]

Yes I wonder if the hand of fate[00:00:45]

That made me wander here[00:00:48]

And led me to this life style[00:00:50]

To live out my twilight years[00:00:52]

So far away from what I've been[00:00:56]

And the life I used to know[00:00:58]

It seems a million miles away[00:01:00]

And a thousand years ago[00:01:03]

The country that I bought[00:01:17]

And sold the homesteads I have known[00:01:19]

The stock camps men[00:01:21]

And branding fires have just been stepping stones[00:01:22]

In a dream to make a life for these[00:01:26]

And watch my fortunes grow[00:01:28]

Now it all seem like a million miles[00:01:30]

And a thousand years ago[00:01:33]

But I was never one to dwell upon[00:01:36]

This fortune or my luck[00:01:38]

But I'm content with what I have[00:01:41]

Thankful for what I've got[00:01:43]

And the friends I left behind me[00:01:45]

And the loved ones I've let go[00:01:47]

Now seem a million miles away[00:01:50]

And a thousand years ago[00:01:52]

As I sit here on my verandah[00:01:55]

And watch the sun go down[00:01:58]

And listen to the sounds[00:02:00]

That make this quiet coastal town[00:02:01]

And I watch the traffic passing by[00:02:04]

On the highway down below[00:02:07]

And I wonder now what brought me here[00:02:09]

So many years ago[00:02:11]

Yes I wonder at the hand of fate[00:02:14]

That made me wander here[00:02:17]

And led me to this life style[00:02:19]

To live out my twilight years[00:02:21]

So far away from what I've been[00:02:25]

And the life I used to know[00:02:27]

It seems a million miles away[00:02:29]

And a thousand years ago[00:02:32]

A thousand years ago[00:02:34]

A thousand years ago[00:02:37]
