That should read 'the songwriter' and that means

Ian Chesterman

Here's what I hear:

NEXT TIME AROUND
(Ian Chesterman)

CHORUS
But it all comes 'round,
Whoever you are, wherever you're bound;
Here's to deja vu, I'll be seeing you
Next time around.

Over the sea, so far from me,
Friends that I knew suddenly flew,
Spreading their wings.
Years gone by, in that albatross sky,
Poverty days, so far away,
Saying goodbye.
CHORUS

The Southern Cross shines like a jewel in the sky,
And I wonder if you can see that star, too,
As you're passing by.
Old Sol lights our way wherever we stray,
And spinning in space, we'll reach the same place
Surely some day.
CHORUS

Here's to Auld Lang Syne and another time;
Your traveling show will soon have to go,
Your gypsy eyes shine.
With guitar in hand, you'll waltz through the land,
Your songs and your tunes will echo in rooms
In country and town.
CHORUS

Over the sea, so far from me,
Friends that I knew suddenly flew,
Spreading their wings.
Years gone by, in that albatross sky,
Those poverty days, so far away,
And saying goodbye.
CHORUS


transcribed by ear from the 2004 Bram Taylor album, The Night Is Young (Fellside)
This is a terrific album, but the way.

I found YouTube recordings of this song by

• Yardarm
• Tom Topping Band
• Hilary Bell

I don't completely understand every word, so corrections are welcome. "Poverty days" in the first verse may not be what they're singing at all.
