I can feel the breeze from the sea it's a warm day in Fremantle
Sometimes there's piss on the wind if the sheep ships are in but not today
I'm usually numb when I come here to see you in Fremantle
There's something in the sunshine the eucalypts are smiling on me today
And the thought of your face made it hard to accept that you'd gone
But it's easier now and I'll fend for myself in this old whaling town
And as I pull away from the gate and the sun sets on Fremantle
Among the fishermen, wharfies and market gardeners you'll sleep
Right here; would you mind if I just lay down?
It's nice here; let the earth come and drag me down
I've felt like the wife of a sailor and one day you'd come home
And the thought of your face made it hard to accept that you'd gone
But it's easier now and I'll fend for myself in this old whaling town
And as I pull away from the gate and the sun sets on Fremantle
Among the fishermen, wharfies and market gardeners you'll sleep
