Somewhere not far from here There's a road leading down a hill The houses and the traffic lights And time is standing still Come on let's take a ride The moon's in the clear blue sky People running everywhere Trying to beat the light We'll turn the tide I know that more than anyting The time and place are right The sprinklers are on the green Papers wrap around your feet The sound of crashing waves comes in Wind blows from the east Down on the empty beach And all along the promenade The fires of sunset burning The summer tide is turning Sixteen steeps are leading to the street Sixteen doors are open wide We'll turn the tide The sun goes down on Bondi Road And we can say goodnight Sixteen waves will break upon the sand Sixteen steps lead us down to the water We'll turn the tide The sun goes down on Bondi Road And we can say goodnight We'll turn the tide I know that more than anything The time and place are right We'll turn the tide The sun goes down on Bondi Road And we can say goodnight
