Bushman’s Lust It came to us early, this bushman’s lust ‘Twas born in the Barrington, in that bright red dust It can’t be explained, it’s just something you know And once it grabs hold, it never lets you go People often ask, and wonder why But to try and understand, you need to travel high Where the rivers flow through mountain gums And the air is cool under the winter sun There are many now who venture there They all come and go with barely a care But I doubt they could ever truly understand How it is for those who’ve lived that land I’ve heard some say it’s a feeling of pride It’s more than that, it’s so very deep inside It matters not how far we may roam For in our heart and soul we’ve only one home So we go back when we can, for our holiday And we watch the newcomers’ laugh and play But it’s not same; it’s a little different for us Cause we know the power, of the Bushman’s Lust I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne [This message has been edited by EagleOne (12-17-2002 07:21 PM).] |

this flows so gracefully, and it's like a story handed down, very neat write Eddie! |

Well I've never been called graceful before lol. Yeah it does have that kind of story feel to it, guess I’ve been reminiscing too much of late. Thanks for stopping bye, take care! I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne |

"to try and understand, you need to travel high Where the rivers flow through mountain gums And the air is cool under the winter sun' Nice imagery here. In a different line, barley? or barely? I chuckled at the 'barley a care' is that to undeline the way you might pronounce it down under? |

nicely told... and the memories of where we were and what we were a part of often lead us to the understanding much is lost, becaus the soul of those places is being lost... |

Eddie, so you feel it too? It stirs my heart whenever I'm away. Good story. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
