Lyrics

The summer crowd has drifted off But the warmth is hanging round There's a green roll on the golf course And the river's running down

Pelicans are cruising low Where the shallows meet the sea And somewhere past the broken white The whales turn north and free

I don't need the city lights I don't need to run Just the salt wind on my shoulders And the last gold of the sun

Still warm in May Down by Betka Bay Autumn on the water And the whole world slips away

Gabo Lighthouse shining On the far blue line Sea eagles ride the southerly And I leave the noise behind

There's a slow tide round Bastion Point Rolling out beyond the mouth Long lines breaking on the bar As the ocean turns about

And way beyond the headland line Where the deep blue meets the sky The whales are heading north again Past Gabo Lighthouse high

Still warm in May Down by Betka Bay Autumn on the water And the whole world slips away

Gabo Lighthouse shining On the far blue line Sea eagles ride the southerly And I leave the noise behind

There are dolphins in the bay tonight Shadows moving through the green Paperbarks along the shore Leaning soft into the breeze

And every road that brought me here Feels lighter than before Like the river finding open sea And not needing any more

Let the tide take the worry Let the wind take the years Let the blue stretch out before us Till the heart comes clear

There are wide skies over Mallacoota There's freedom in this land And the world feels wide and open When you're standing where we stand

Still warm in May Down by Betka Bay Autumn on the water And the whole world slips away

Gabo Lighthouse shining On the far blue line Sea eagles ride the southerly And I leave the noise behind

Still warm in May Where the river meets the tide Every wave and rolling hillside Feels like coming back alive

Still warm in May Still warm in May
