Echuca Songtext
von Paul Medew

I left my footprints in the dust on the road
at the end of the highway
And this old town has got some stories to tell
that the river bought its way

When the river runs high
the deeper in, the deeper in I′ll go
When the river runs high

Summer swelters under one cloud skies
in the sweat of the heat haze
Until the sky cracks and the evening shudders
Shakes out the new day

When the river runs high
the deeper in, the deeper in I'll go
When the river runs high
the deeper in, the deeper in I′ll go
And I'm going to stay till the river won't flow


After ten years looking for a paradise
I am happy I am here
It′s been a long time since the water flowed easy
so I′m going let it all wash over me

You took what you could and the weight of the rest
you'll have to let it go
It is only going to weigh you down
when all you need is to let the river flow

Mark the history of the neighbourhood sea
on the bark of the ghost trees
While the birds that black the echoing sky
call to this unknown country

When the river runs high
the deeper in, the deeper in I′ll go
When the river runs high
the deeper in, the deeper in I'll go
And I′m going to stay till the river won't flow
