lyrics

High above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back
Oh high above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back

Let the fair winds feed you
Let the moonlight seize you
Let the stars get you to my door
Let the emotions rescue
Let the oceans address you
Let them find someone who loves you more

High above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back
Oh high above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back

May the bells ring for you
May the chorus implore you
May your heart be the guiding track
Let the radio flood you with music
Let every note want to hold and seduce you
Let all the words that we wrote somehow sweep you back
If I could stop all the clouds coming into your eyes
Stop all the thunder from telling you lies
Swap all the wind and the rain for an open sky

High above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t deliver you back it won’t bring you back
Oh high above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t you deliver you back it won’t deliver you

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L

The album took a while but was well worth the wait. I simply cannot understand why more Australians have not got behind Even. Another cracking set of tunes. xxx Damian Percy
