Athabasca has a hold onto its spring 
And its rivers never seem to stop going 
Follow back into past wintertime 
Back to fall back to those early summer 
When you find out what has already been found 
And the currents are in need of better grounding 
What do these parties ever mean to me 
When they leave out decency till later 
It was your father's grandfather's first fight 
There's enough from yesterday so that you'll worry 
When you find out about your history 
And how they left out decency till later 
Athabasca has a hold onto its spring 
And its rivers never seem to stop going 
Follow back into past wintertime 
Back to fall back to those early summers
