Lyrics

The ferry sails
Out through the heads
I stand by the bay
Watching gannets fish
The border’s closed
They told us to go home
But now I’m not so sure
Where that is anymore

When the fever breaks
And the fog dissipates
I’ll go back again
Don’t need a reason
When the heat dies down

I won’t hang around
I’ll be heading south
To Hobart

I travelled back
To my old hometown
Stayed there for a while
While the world settled down
I’m from Victoria
It ain’t so bad
But something’s pulling me
Back down to Diemen Land

When the fever breaks
And the fog dissipates
I’ll go back again
Don’t need a reason
When the heat dies down

I won’t hang around
I’ll be heading south
To Hobart

The cleanest air
That you will ever breathe
And mountain views
Await on every street
On market days
The berries taste so sweet
There’s nowhere else
I’d rather be

When the fever breaks
And the fog dissipates
I’ll go back again
Don’t need a reason
When the heat dies down

I won’t hang around
I’ll be heading south
To Hobart town

I’ll be heading south
Back to Hobart
