Can I be a whirly wind?
And travel miles and then start again
But in a new place
Can I be an old green swag?
And have some cowboy come along
And carry me away
Can I be a drop of rain?
That falls down gently on an old ghost gum
On the hottest day
And can I be a sunset's ray?
That lights your eyes
And stands you still on Inverway
CHORUS
At this moment that's all I can do
Is dream about all that we've been through
So as I close my eyes, I watch the darkness come alive
And I start dreaming my sweet dreams of you
Can I be a road trains dust?
You'd see me coming and then I bust in
And say g'day
And can I be a mum and dad?
With a heap of kids in an old dual cab
Going a long long way
And can I be a Min Min light?
And take some people in the night
Without a trace
And can I be a campfires heart?
That cries sad stories and then it laughs
Until the sunrise wakes
Repeat Chorus
Can I be a whirly wind?
And travel miles and then start again
But in a new place
Can I be an old green swag?
And have some cowboy come along
And carry me away
Repeat Chorus
Yes as I close my eyes I watch the darkness come alive
And I start dreaming my sweet dreams of you
