Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again

Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna see this town no more
Too many days on a factory floor
First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Anytime you want babe, you can come around
But only six days separates me from the great Top End
I been working hard, twelve hours a day
And the money I saved won't buy my youth again

I'm goin' for the heat babe, and the tropical rain
In a place where no man's puttin' on the dog for me
I'm waitin' on the weekend, set o' brand new tyres
And back in Bow River's just where I want to be

Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again

Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna see this town no more
Too many years made up my mind to always stay
Right to my dying day
I don't wanna see another engine line
Too many years and I owe my mind
First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I got the motor runnin', I got the rest of my days
Sold everything I owned for just a song
So anytime you want babe, you can come around
But don't leave it too late, you just might find me gone

Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again

Listen now to the wind, babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again
