When I'm down on my luck
And I'm searching for my soul
When I'm feeling too much
And I start to lose control
When I'm down so low
That even enemies don't wanna know
You still care for me
Say a prayer for me
And I know

Ooh I like you hanging around
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Ooh you are my favourite sound
'Cause you're always down for lifting me up
Like an angel when I hit the ground
Throw your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me I don't wanna let you go

When I'm lost along the way
And I can't face another day
And if I stumble on the road
And if I can't carry a load
And if I lose my faith in kindness
And generosity
Would you hold my hand
Say you understand my pain

Ooh I like you hanging around
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Ooh you are my favourite sound
'Cause you're always down for lifting me up
Like an angel when I hit the ground
Throw your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me I don't wanna let you go

It's been a long hard road
And it's only just begun my friend and this time I know
You help me carry the load

'Cause you're always down for lifting me up
Like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When you're always around
You're my favourite sound
Lift me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
'Cause you lift me up now
Well you're always around
You're my favourite sound
Lift me up now
You lift me up
Lift me up now
Yeah you're always around
You're my favourite sound
Lift me up
Oh yeah

The late George Woolnough worked on High Street and lived on manners
52 years he sat on his verandah, made his saddles
And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or doves
You just asked the saddler, he lived without sin
They’re building a library for him

Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

The son of George Woolnough went off and got married and had a war baby
But something was wrong and it’s easier to drink than go crazy
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
Well George had no answers about why her son ever has need of a gun

Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

The grandson of George has been all around the world and lives no special place
Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face
He’d almost forgotten them both because of the life that he leads
There’s nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong
Except in this song

Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a meddler
Tenterfield Saddler
Make a bet
Fly away cockatoo
Down on the ground
Emu up ahead

Time is a tale teller
Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a tale teller
Tenterfield Saddler
Make a bet
Fly away cockatoo
Down on the ground
Emu up ahead
