about

Dedicated to Emily Stone.

lyrics

The rivers ran dry, the oceans emptied
The lone magpie’s cry spells the end of the day
Promises made, now are broken
Crushed in the clay
Deep now, under the ground

Young as the morning, bright as dawning day
I adored you, felt you under my skin
Promises made were made in earnest
That beautiful day, lifetime ago
Under the trees

Open your eyes wide and take it all in
How could you hide when your love was there
Calling your name
Open your eyes wide and take it all in
You made yourself blind boy
It's all down to you

Now our rivers restoring, time and tide rolls on
Ebbing and flowing, pulled by the same moon
Seeds that we sowed are thriving, that’s our boys
Look at them grown
Brave and strong, mother you are

Open your eyes wide and take it all in
Remember the times we had and the stories to tell
Open your eyes wide and take it all in
We made new life
It’s all about them

The rivers ran dry, the oceans emptied
The lone magpie’s cry calls a new dawning day.
