Big River Lyrics

	We couldn’t be further from home Oh no
	What’s left of a journey of tears
	We cry like the curlew Oh Christ save our souls and help hold our fears
	And it couldn’t be darker than this Oh no
	Even with so much light in the sky
	And the sun burns forever we can’t find the shade
	Though we try and we try …so

	Big river don’t fool me
	I’m depending upon a sign
	I’m relying upon your motion to carry these cares of mine
	And big river we’re helpless
	And we bend to your every turn
	But not even our courage can help us as the big river runs on and on
	As the big river runs on and on and on

	To clear this bush will take a whole life I’m sure
	And even the lives of my sons
	But we dream of a harvest and Oh how we’ll feast when it finally comes
	And when sugar cane grows to the wind
	We’ll think on that journey of tears
	And the murdering hold of the hellish George Fyfe
	Will fade with the years …so

	We couldn' t be further from home Oh no
	What' s left of a journey of tears
	We cry like the curlew Oh Christ save our souls and help hold our fears
	And it couldn' t be darker than this Oh no
	Even with so much light in the sky
	And the sun burns forever we can' t find the shade
	Though we try and we try so

	Big river don' t fool me
	I' m depending upon a sign
	I' m relying upon your motion to carry these cares of mine
	And big river we' re helpless
	And we bend to your every turn
	But not even our courage can help us as the big river runs on and on
	As the big river runs on and on and on

	To clear this bush will take a whole life I' m sure
	And even the lives of my sons
	But we dream of a harvest and Oh how we' ll feast when it finally comes
	And when sugar cane grows to the wind
	We' ll think on that journey of tears
	And the murdering hold of the hellish George Fyfe
	Will fade with the years so

	We couldn' t be further from home Oh no
	What' s left of a journey of tears
	We cry like the curlew Oh Christ save our souls and help hold our fears
	And it couldn' t be darker than this Oh no
	Even with so much light in the sky
	And the sun burns forever we can' t find the shade
	Though we try and we try so

	Big river don' t fool me
	I' m depending upon a sign
	I' m relying upon your motion to carry these cares of mine
	And big river we' re helpless
	And we bend to your every turn
	But not even our courage can help us as the big river runs on and on
	As the big river runs on and on and on

	To clear this bush will take a whole life I' m sure
	And even the lives of my sons
	But we dream of a harvest and Oh how we' ll feast when it finally comes
	And when sugar cane grows to the wind
	We' ll think on that journey of tears
	And the murdering hold of the hellish George Fyfe
	Will fade with the years so
