CHANDELIER OF STARS

John Williamson

When m' travellin' days are done
Will you still be with me?
When all the songs have been sung
Standin' right beside me
Watchin' the grandkids grow
I've got everything but nothing without you

I've got mountains, I've got rivers
I've got a chandelier of stars
Got blossoms on the Bloodwoods
Friends all 'round the country
And a heart as good as new
I've got everything but nothing without you

Too much time for thinking
It's gonna drive me mad
I walk along the river
I watch a motel movie
But lovers make me sad
I've got everything but nothing without you

So when this life that binds me

Turns me loose
Lets me rest on m' laurels
Will you put y' head on m' shoulder
And share the peaceful years
I've got everything but nothing without you

Back in the days of all-night tractor driving I remember being amazed how close the stars appeared to be, especially just before 'sun up'. I wrote this song after a less-than-inspiring night in Derby, Western Australia. These are the times I get tired of being away from loved ones.

- John Williamson.
