River Song Lyrics by Archie Roach

1997

[Verse 1]
Billy brewing up the tea
Smoke gets up my nose
The river's flowing endlessly
Yeah, on and on it goes
The river’s full of clouds today
So is the sky
And the sun is trying to make its way
To you and I

[Chorus]
And I see reflections on the water
Oh yes, of eucalypse
And I am this country's daughter
I am, and I know this:
I shall return
Time and time again
Until the end
Of my wandering

[Verse 2]
White bird sitting on a limb
From the water shining black
And every time I looked at him
Ah, it seemed that he looked back
And Kookaburra starts to laugh
Somewhere in the trees
Ah, the river's like a looking glass
And I need more days like these

[Chorus]
Where I see reflections on the water
Oh yes, of eucalypse
And I am this country’s daughter
I am, and I know this:
I shall return
Time and time again
Until the end
Of my wandering

Yes

Yes

I shall return time and time again
Until the end of my wandering


[Verse 3]
As the weaver speaks to me
The river fills my cup
She talks of how it used to be
Beneath the [?]

[Chorus]
And I see reflections on the water
Oh yes, of eucalypse
And I am this rivers's daughter
I am, and I know this:
I shall return
Time and time again
Until the end
Of my wandering
