Verse:

                                     
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

Chorus:

                                        
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

Verse:

                              
Blacksmith fires up the bellows

                               
Cane cutters burning to load

                                                        
Workers of the world run to the top of the mountain


Chorus:

Bridge:

                              
I can't take the hands from my face

F#sus                                      
There are some things we can't replace


Chorus:

Verse:

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
