Close As A Whisper (the Gift) Lyrics - Lee Kernaghan

I tumbled into life, out on the western line 

A simple gathering of melody and rhyme 

Written down and tweeked a bit, 

Ink pen on manuscript 

Little town Little song 

Lookin for somewhere to belong 

Sat in a bureau drawer 

Pulled out then performed 

For a governor and mayor 

A law clerk scratched me down 

Next mornin we left town 

And he was hummin as we rode 

And I wondered where we'd go 

On and on round and round 

Far and wide am I bound 

I'm a gift, I'm a drifter 

Always wandering free 

On and on like the wind 

I am home, I am friend 

And you'll always be as close 

As a whisper to me

Some shearers headin south 

Sang me to Jackie Hall 

First time he ever shore a hundred in a day 

I rode the silver rails 

I crossed the mountain trails 

They sing my story from the cape to Morton Bay 

And send me on my way 

On and on round and round 

Far and wide am I bound 

I'm a gift I'm a drifter 

Always wandering free 

On and on like the wind 

I am home, I am friend 

And you'll always be as close 

As a whisper to me

As Private Monroe gentle sang 

I floated over no mans land 

I've seen the tears 

Of countless lonely sons 

I've crossed the raging seas 

Wound up in symphonys 

Was there in victories 

Been sung on bended knees 

I'm just the notes and verse 

Nothing more and nothing less 

You'll find me at the stock camp 

As they're passin' out the rum 

Out near where I'm from 

On and on round and round 

Far and wide am I bound 

I'm a gift I'm a drifter 

Always wandering free 

On and on like the wind 

I am home, I am friend 

And you'll always be as close 

As a whisper to me 

On and on with this swag 

And an old tucker bag 

Singing who'll come a Waltz'n Matilda 

with me.
