The sun goes down
on a cloudless sky
The tide is in
the waters high
The fisherman
are back in town
Tonight they'll either
drink or drown
Wait for rain...
to come down
Wait for rain...
all year round
Its the talk
of the town
goin' 'round
If you're ever in
that Gulf country
Strangest land
you've ever seen
Sun's so hot
the ground's on fire
Thermometer
won't go no higher
Wait for rain...
to come down
Wait for rain...
all year round
Its the talk
of the town
goin' 'round
If you want to lose
those lonely blues
You best put on
your dancing shoes
The ringers make
for the water hole
Tonight the town
will rock 'n roll
Wait for rain...
to come down
Wait for rain...
all year round
Its the talk
of the town
goin' 'round
Oh Yeah
Now
Murray knows
this ancient land
Like the back
of his own hand
See the brolga
on the plain
Thousands dancing
bring the rain
And that rain...
coming down
Hear that rain...
what a mighty sound
Its the talk
of the town
coming down
D'you see that rain...
coming down
Hear that rain...
what a mighty sound
Its the talk
of the town
coming down
coming down
rain coming down
coming down
