Song Lyrics

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
Left her car by the river, left her shoes beside
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was
Dreamin' of glory, miles above
The mountains and plains, free at last

We were touched by a cold wind
(Eeh)
My father and I
(Ahh)
The sound of desperate breathing
(Ahh)
The fear inside us all
She was coming to see him
(Ahh)
An' something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return

There's a hole in the river where her memory lies
(Ahh)
From the land of the living to the air and sky
She was coming to see him
(Ahh)
But something changed her mind
(Ahh)
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
