TODD RIVER
(Dave Evans/Barry Skipsey)                

The stillness of the darkness is broken only
By the rain as it pierces the night
The puddles have gathered to harness their forces
Giving birth to a river of might

Todd River you have patiently waited
For the heavens to provide you with reason again
Show us your beauty as you flow through our township
Down the hills past the eyes of all men

Chorus:
Todd River I salute you as a friend I will remember
When I am long gone from this land
Todd River on your journey to wide open spaces
Forever run free as was planned

Down through the hills your journey's begun
Slowly as though testing your way
Cautiously feeling the sand beneath your fingers
Gathering your strength for the day

Faster and faster speed increasing
Your swirling brown waters intent on one thing
To cleanse from your body the dirt of a nation
To show to the land who is king

Chorus

Your power truly a sight to remember
As down through the township you roar
Your presence a reminder to the people who gather
On your banks in their hundreds once more

Well there's talk now of damming your freedom
Imprisoned whilst committing no crime
No more for to wander as nature intended
Down the hills and gorges of time

Chorus
