First Cousin

[00:11.78] I don't know the difference between you and the weather
[00:18.14] You covered me in dust and wet me through
[00:24.41] Felt a little nervous when we two were together
[00:30.77] Because you were like a storm that I could talk to
[00:37.12] We'd go between the cattle and the cane in the morning
[00:43.52] You said you didn't know where the road led to
[00:49.84] You just kept on walking when I balked at the warning
[00:56.16] Like it was simply something you had to do
[01:01.57] You walked on alone as I walked home
[01:07.99] And you thought you could control it
[01:14.28] And we thought you would come back
[01:20.53] They sold something that took sadness and solved it
[01:26.82] But Ben, you should have been scared of that
[01:32.38] Oh Ben, you should have been scared of that
[02:04.98] At an oval up in Isa, from where me and the boys stood
[02:10.30] It seemed the ruck would always tap to you
[02:16.61] You never backed down with your hands on the footy
[02:22.96] Relied on guts and muscle to get you through
[02:29.23] And, Ben, you had a body that was harder than iron
[02:35.66] And, kid, you had a mind that was sharp as steel
[02:41.02] And everybody knew it
[02:43.75] I guess we all relied on your heart to keep beating
[02:50.05] And the hurt to heal
[02:54.58] And you thought you could control it
[03:06.37] And we thought you would come back
[03:11.76] They sold something that took sadness and solved it
[03:18.17] But Ben, you should have been scared of that
[03:24.56] Oh Ben, you should have been scared of that
[03:31.72]
