《A Thousand Years Ago》歌词

[00:00:00] A Thousand Years Ago - Slim Dusty

[00:00:02] Written by：Raymond Rose

[00:00:06] As I sit here on my verandah

[00:00:09] And watch the sun go down

[00:00:11] And listen to the sounds

[00:00:13] That make this quiet coastal town

[00:00:16] I watch the traffic passing by

[00:00:18] On the highway down below

[00:00:20] And I wonder now what brought me here

[00:00:23] So many years ago

[00:00:26] Where the plains climb through the mountains

[00:00:28] And the rivers all ran wide

[00:00:31] The rains came in their seasons

[00:00:33] To dress the countryside

[00:00:35] And a place called west of sundown

[00:00:38] Where the western breezes blow

[00:00:40] Now seems a million miles away

[00:00:42] And a thousand years ago

[00:00:45] Yes I wonder if the hand of fate

[00:00:48] That made me wander here

[00:00:50] And led me to this life style

[00:00:52] To live out my twilight years

[00:00:56] So far away from what I've been

[00:00:58] And the life I used to know

[00:01:00] It seems a million miles away

[00:01:03] And a thousand years ago

[00:01:17] The country that I bought

[00:01:19] And sold the homesteads I have known

[00:01:21] The stock camps men

[00:01:22] And branding fires have just been stepping stones

[00:01:26] In a dream to make a life for these

[00:01:28] And watch my fortunes grow

[00:01:30] Now it all seem like a million miles

[00:01:33] And a thousand years ago

[00:01:36] But I was never one to dwell upon

[00:01:38] This fortune or my luck

[00:01:41] But I'm content with what I have

[00:01:43] Thankful for what I've got

[00:01:45] And the friends I left behind me

[00:01:47] And the loved ones I've let go

[00:01:50] Now seem a million miles away

[00:01:52] And a thousand years ago

[00:01:55] As I sit here on my verandah

[00:01:58] And watch the sun go down

[00:02:00] And listen to the sounds

[00:02:01] That make this quiet coastal town

[00:02:04] And I watch the traffic passing by

[00:02:07] On the highway down below

[00:02:09] And I wonder now what brought me here

[00:02:11] So many years ago

[00:02:14] Yes I wonder at the hand of fate

[00:02:17] That made me wander here

[00:02:19] And led me to this life style

[00:02:21] To live out my twilight years

[00:02:25] So far away from what I've been

[00:02:27] And the life I used to know

[00:02:29] It seems a million miles away

[00:02:32] And a thousand years ago

[00:02:34] A thousand years ago

[00:02:37] A thousand years ago
