Leaving Town

It was a quiet place and she would soon be leaving

She'd been all across the world and never stayed too long

Then by the saving grace of a summer's evening

She changed her mind by the light of a setting sun

Oh he was born and raised here for 20 years and counting

He'd lived all his days in the shade of the same old mountain

He said, tell me what you think when you're leaving town

I'll offer you a drink when the sun goes down

I'll tell you everything I've been dreaming now and then

When you're leaving town again

She told him all she knew of the lands that claimed her

How the Southern Cross and the Northern Lights would glow

He said, I harbour hope that I could be a sailor

And visit all the countries you tell me that I should go

Just a local boy with a world of expectation

He knew the fear of God but found the devil fascinating

He said, tell me what you think when you're leaving town

I'll offer you a drink when the sun goes down

I'll tell you everything I've been dreaming now and then

He said, tell me what you think when you leaving town

I'll offer you a drink when the sun goes down

I'll tell you everything I've been dreaming now and then

He said, tell me what you think when you leaving town

I'll offer you a drink when the sun goes down

I'll tell you everything I've been dreaming now and then

He said, tell me what you think when you leaving town

I'll offer you a drink when the sun goes down

I'll tell you everything I've been dreaming now and then

When you leaving town again
