Home where my heart beats

Where my love waits for me

Where the winds of change

Howl into my face

There's rain off the headlands

Closes in by day

Don't cry, don't cry

Wipe you tears away

The rivers are rising

There is a flood in me

I can feel the heat

In the air that I breathe

Before a storm

Distant horizons

Drowning in the fire

Slowly, slowly

A life flashing by

The rivers are rising

There is a flood in me

I can feel the heat

In the air that I breathe
