00:00Out of Batchelor, where the sun beats down

00:16The Finnish River runs through my mate's hometown

00:24Spent a week chilling under the northern sky

00:28Baby saw a water croc swimming in a tub close by

00:34Grabbed the rifles headed out for the roos

00:40Had to feed his dogs but I felt the blues

00:47In this river it flows and it fades

00:52In the dry it turns into billabong shapes

00:58Sixty foot banks deep down to the floor

01:04But I'm not getting in that no way

01:10He said we'll go fishing for Barra come Monday

01:14But I can't shake the feeling that something ain't okay

01:34In the night I crept back shining a light

01:41Saw those crocs lurking eyes glimmer and bright

01:46In that tiny little boat barely above the creek

01:52He laughed as I trembled said

01:56Come on don't be weak

01:59In this river it flows and it fades

02:04In the dry it turns into billabong shapes

02:10Sixty foot banks deep down to the floor

02:16But I'm not getting in that no way

02:22Ain't no how

02:24Oh no

02:26Oh no

02:30Oh no

02:32Each ripple in the water a reminder I'm small

02:39With crocs on the prowler can just be on the call

02:46He talks of adventures but I can't shake the fear

02:53Listening to the whispers to the shadows so near

02:58Gravity pulls me but my heart beats free

03:04Knowing the river holds secrets deep like the sea

03:10So I'll stick to the banks while he makes his plans

03:17Hard racing wild neat these northern lands

03:23In this river oh it flows and it fades

03:28In the dry it turns into billabong shapes

03:34Sixty foot banks deep down to the floor

03:40But I'm not getting in that no way

03:46Ain't no how

03:47Oh no

03:50Oh no

03:55So here's to the penance and the tales that it holds

04:04With mates and adventures and stories untold

04:09But in that little boat I won't take the risk

04:17Let the crocs keep watch while I persist

04:21Each ripple in the water a reminder I'm small

04:28With crocs on the prowler can just be on the call

04:34He talks of adventures but I can't shake the fear

04:40Listening to the whispers to the shadows so near

04:48Gravity pulls me but my heart beats free

04:52Knowing the river holds secrets deep like the sea

05:00So I stick to the banks but I can't shake the fear

05:04Listening to the whispers to the shadows so near

05:12The boat's too small and I know there's crocodiles down there

05:18I stay on the land and keep my hair

05:26I stay on the land and keep my hair

05:28I stay on the land trying to prevent from the forest

05:37So I stay on the land and keep my hair

05:44Om
