about

Janette wrote this song after performing at the Maldon Folk Festival and falling in love with the area. She eventually moved up to central Victoria.

lyrics

Please forgive me
I'm a stranger in this land
I have nothing in my hand
I don't mean to be so shy

I'm just a traveller
And I hold no currency
You don't need to be wary of me
If you see me cry

It's just this land
Oh this rolling countryside
Oh these mountains green and wide
It makes me weep
Surely the hand of grace
has led me to this place
And there's something in your face
That feels like home

It's been a long time
And there's many mile I've roamed
And there's many more miles to go
Before I die
But I hear music
And I so much love to dance
I am weary by my circumstance
Oh let me listen for a while

Oh this land.....
