I spent some time out in the canefields
I headed west to lightning ridge
I've seen every lonely roadhouse
From Charleville to Murray Bridge
I see your face in every shadow
I hear your voice upon the wind
The more I try to forget you
The more your memory rushes in
When the snow falls on the Alice
And it floods at Tilberoo
When the Road freezes over
That's when I'll stop loving you
Just like the end of the rainbow
You're always just out of reach
We parted in a moment
But I've been leaving you for years
So don't ask me where I'm goin'
'Cause I won't know 'til I arrive
Though you're
A thousand miles behind me
You're never far from my mind
When the snow falls on the Alice
And it floods at Tilberoo
I'll lay my burden down
And my waitin' will be through
'Til then you'll find me on the highway
Just somewhere beyond the blue
When the Road freezes over
That's when I'll stop loving you
