The Lucksmiths - First Cousin lyrics

I don't know the difference between you and the weather You covered me in dust and wet me through Felt a little nervous when we two were together Because you were like a storm that I could talk to We'd go between the cattle and the cane in the morning You said you didn't know where the road led to You just kept on walking when I balked at the warning Like it was simply something you had to do You walked on alone as I walked home And you thought you could control it And we thought you would come back They sold something that took sadness and solved it But Ben, you should have been scared of that Oh Ben, you should have been scared of that At an oval up in Isa, from where me and the boys stood It seemed the ruck would always tap to you You never backed down with your hands on the footy Relied on guts and muscle to get you through And, Ben, you had a body that was harder than iron And, kid, you had a mind that was sharp as steel And everybody knew it I guess we all relied on your heart to keep beating And the hurt to heal And you thought you could control it And we thought you would come back They sold something that took sadness and solved it But Ben, you should have been scared of that Oh Ben, you should have been scared of that
