Around a warm log fire and sparks are ascending.
Dance through the moon light to the milky way.
I hope they may find you and land on a tear drop.
A kiss for my sweet heart at end of the day.
........................................................
Oh my darling how I miss you so.
Im sorry to leave you alone.
And on my return I shall call to your window.
Returned home my darling and Im here to stay.
( Ive returned home my darling to lay in the clay)
........................................................
The red dust is chocking the cattle are moving
A dingo keeps watch from scrub bye the way.
I take from my saddle the photo you gave.
Next time I see you wont know what to say.
*********
I fell from my gelding and lay at the crossing.
Blood stains the photo you gave me that day.
My lips are all parched an my heart beat is failing.
I will miss you my sweet heart on this my last day.

Oh my darling how I miss you so.
Im sorry to leave you alone.
And on my return I shall call to your window.
Returned home my darling and Im here to stay.
