matt taylor (aus) - this story must have no end lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, my friend
liverpool in 1910
a family so large that when
at 16, you were on your own
a restlessness before unknown
travelled far away from your home
and do the things you had not done
to journey to a land in the sun

[verse 2]
oh, my friend
a steamer leaving southampton
in your pocket, just three pounds ten
ain’t looking at the shoreline again
until you reach fremantle i know
the promise of this new land will grow
the hopes and dreams in your eyes will show
the happiness from your heart will flow

[chorus]
oh, lord, be with him always
and please show him somebody cares
lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord

[verse 3]
oh, my friend
about two miles from singleton
fresh cow’s milk and eggs straight from the hen
still you haven’t found what you’ve been searching
paradise might be somewhere
and i’d go there but i haven’t the fare
can you live a life without care?
show me and i’ll follow you there
[verse 4]
oh, my friend
the thirties and the depression
you ride a bicycle to brisbane
where jobs were scarce and pickens thin
your dream is when your belly is full
from before your eyes you pull the wool
an impression that will haunt you each day
an experience you just can’t wish away

[chorus]
oh, lord, be with him always
and please show him somebody cares
lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord

[verse 5]
oh, my friend
1939 and war threatened
you joined the army and were sent to england
then to greece at the peak of the fighting
such a long way you’ve had to roam
to collect some german steel in your arm
they sent you back to london to heal
then to sydney, oh, how good it made you feel

[bridge]
oh, my my my friend
my my my my friend
[verse 6]
oh, my friend
a cane cutter’s daughter from rockhampton
with her, you could sing sweet as one
you were married, soon your daughter was born
how full of life she made you feel
the emotion that all men must conceal
would it last, you hope and you pray
that this ecstasy will not go away

[chorus]
oh, lord, be with him always
and please show him somebody cares
lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord

[outro]
my my my my friend
this story must have no end
my my my my friend
this story must have no end
m+my m+my m+my my friend
this story must have no end
