歌曲歌詞
As I sit here on my verandah
And watch the sun go down
And listen to the sounds
That make this quiet coastal town
I watch the traffic passing by
On the highway down below
And I wonder now what brought me here
So many years ago
Where the plains climb through the mountains
And the rivers all ran wide
The rains came in their seasons
To dress the countryside
And a place called west of sundown
Where the western breezes blow
Now seems a million miles away
And a thousand years ago
Yes I wonder if the hand of fate
That made me wander here
And led me to this life style
To live out my twilight years
So far away from what I've been
And the life I used to know
It seems a million miles away
And a thousand years ago
The country that I bought
And sold the homesteads I have known
The stock camps men
And branding fires have just been stepping stones
In a dream to make a life for these
And watch my fortunes grow
Now it all seem like a million miles
And a thousand years ago
But I was never one to dwell upon
This fortune or my luck
But I'm content with what I have
Thankful for what I've got
And the friends I left behind me
And the loved ones I've let go
Now seem a million miles away
And a thousand years ago
As I sit here on my verandah
And watch the sun go down
And listen to the sounds
That make this quiet coastal town
And I watch the traffic passing by
On the highway down below
And I wonder now what brought me here
So many years ago
Yes I wonder at the hand of fate
That made me wander here
And led me to this life style
To live out my twilight years
So far away from what I've been
And the life I used to know
It seems a million miles away
And a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago
A thousand years ago
