Intro

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

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
