Song Lyrics

• Leading Hand

  As I sit on my verandah I look out to the hills
  Where cattle used to graze upon this land
  Now the grass has gone and so have you
  Wind lifts the dust where flowers grew
  Leaves fall like tears, the trees are crying too
  And I wonder will the day arrive
  When I see your car come down the drive
  Some dreams I know, too good to be true
  
  I’ve lost my leading hand and I miss her
  I thought we’d work this farm of ours together
  Wind blows across this barren land
  Fields of green have turned to sand
  And the desert stretches out and on forever
  
  Stranger things have happened, bigger losses have been incurred
  All the years of drought and the killing of the herd
  But the story that you told me, how your love just couldn’t hold me
  Was the saddest story that I've ever heard
  
  I’ve lost my leading hand and I miss her
  I thought we’d work this farm of ours together
  Wind blows across this barren land
  The fields of green have turned to sand
  And the desert stretches out and on forever
  
  This morning it awoke me, there was light upon the hill
  I thought that I was dreaming, I can’t believe it still
  Your summer dress with flowers underneath my window sill
  And the future stretching out and on forever
  
  I’ve got my leading hand now I can kiss her
  I pray to you to God that I can keep her
  The winds of change are calm today
  The emptiness has blown away (and)
  Did I hear you say “I hope this lasts forever”
