Mariah Ver Hoef - Copper River lyrics

rate me

Salmon are running in the Copper River

Making their long way home

Undeterred they carry on

To where they were born

Salmon are running in the Copper River

Sun is shining on the raging water

I yield to thee

O mighty

Copper River

The current is strong in the Copper River

No boulder or log will stand in its way

Wide and strong, oh, the power it commands

Will bring you to your knees

Chorus

The sky is blue above the Copper River

What lies beneath is dark and troubled

It carves its way through the land

Bends it to its will

Until it is left with sand

Chorus

Gulls may fly along the Copper River

Fish my brave the waters but it's what they know

The scar that is left behind when it runs dry

Will remain to remind time

Of the mighty river that once ruled this land

Of the mighty river that we could not command

Of how we would bow down

To the Copper River

Oh

Chorus
