[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 tеll you everything I've been drеaming now and then
When you're leaving town again

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Just a local boy with a world of expectation
He knew the fear of God but found the devil fascinating
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
When you're leaving town again
