Tamworth

Tamworth The wind carries a magic sound Bringing it over the mountains Through the lowlands It keeps beat with the beat of my heart My soul takes me down the road Traveling so far The closer I get, the more it pulls me Becoming a force I cannot resist Hundreds of people greet me As they dance in the street Hypnotized by the sounds of a banjo Played by a master more than 90 years old Kids get their first taste of performing Playing songs they learned from the radio Music comes from people walking down the street And others sitting on stools on the walk Everyone has tunes playing in their head The little town is Heaven for music Letting people feel a way they haven’t felt before The town of Tamworth Hidden in the New South Wales backland A place where music fills the air It is a blessing to a different land It is a blessing
