"Leaving Town" lyrics

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'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'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'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
