lyrics

If there is a reason tell me now
I'm tired of all this skirting around
Scaling along eternal fences
I can't pretend I don't see you

How justifications shift like sand
As you gift the guilt to some other hands
You keep rising up and rising up

You see so much water
You forget there is so much land

Keep me by the rock
Keep me under endless skies
Even when the river runs dry
Keep me by the rock
Keep me where I belong
Keep me 'til the river runs on

You'll have to dissect yourself somehow
All you swallowed needs some checking out
Forget the texts and the swollen lies
There was a time, before time

As whispers bustle 'round the streets
I'm inclined to take the rustlin' eucalyptus leaves
As the spinifex keeps rising up and rising up

You see so much water
You forget there is so much land

Keep me by the rock
Keep me under endless skies
Even when the river runs dry
Keep me by the rock
Keep me where I belong
Keep me 'til the river runs on
Keep me by the rock
Keep me under endless skies
Even when the river runs dry


Concrete burns just like sand
But it ain't drifting, drifting
Across the land
Somewhere along the great divide
The magpies call marks the early morn
We start rising up and rising up

We see so much water
We forget there's so much land

Keep me by the rock
Keep me under endless skies
Even when the river runs dry
Keep me by the rock
Keep me where I belong
Keep me 'til the river runs on
