Lyrics
THE RIVER
Weatherton / Thompson c. 2004
The endless falling of the rain
Collects in pools before it stains
The River
With every ticking of the clock
the rising water never stops
The River
All those souls who once
Lived in Harbour town
been swept away to where
they never will be found
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly flowing
The River
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly growing
The River
Those left living on the land
Can hear the breaking of the dam
Up river
Too late to run, no place to hide
I don’t know if we’ll survive
The River
Follow me, we’ll climb this tree
on this lonely hill
There might be time for us to stand
and fight against the will
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly flowing
The River
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly growing
The River
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly flowing
The River
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly flowing
The River
All those souls who once
Lived in Harbour town
been swept away to where
they never will be found
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly flowing
The River
Raging and rolling
Relentlessly flowing
The River
The River
The River
