The sun goes down on a cloudless sky The tide is in, the water's 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 It's the talk of the town Goin' 'round If you're ever in that Gulf country Strangest land you'll ever see The 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 It's the talk of the town It's 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 It's the talk of the town Goin' 'round Oh, yeah ♪ 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 It's the talk of the town It's coming down You see that rain coming down Hear that rain what a mighty sound It's the talk of the town It's coming down Oh coming down Rain coming down Oh yeah
