Blue Rodeo - Clearer View lyrics

rate me

I know when they built this house<br />

Out of rocks from the river mouth<br />

They thought it'd never come down<br />

Not while we're around<br />

Some things are made to last<br />

Other things we know must pass<br />

Nothing we do<br />

Stops time coming through<br />

My father left me here with a map crumpled in my hand<br />

I try to follow, but there's days when I just don't understand<br />

And when we fall down in time<br />

Washed in trouble we thought we'd left behind<br />

Just let the river carry you<br />

Lift your head back up to the clearer view<br />

See the high water starting to flood<br />

Bringing down all the rocks and the mud<br />

And if it won't stop<br />

It'll wash away all we've got<br />

Down in the valley there's a rumble in the trees<br />

It's hard to keep your head when the ground's moving ‘neath your feet<br />

And when we fall down in time<br />

Washed in trouble we thought we'd left behind<br />

Let the storm pass on through<br />

And work your way back up to the clearer view
