00:28The New York Times
00:36The New York Times
01:07In the heart of the finished river
01:10Where the waters gleamed
01:13Lived a legend born from a dream
01:20Sweetheart the Giant
01:23Ruled the bill of all
01:26With a heart so fierce
01:29It was hard to be wrong
01:33With a growl that rumbled like thunder above
01:37He chased the boats showing his love
01:40Tipping the dinghies with a flick of his tail
01:43The whispers of danger rode every gallows
01:47Sweetheart, you myth of the day
01:49With your teeth like daggers
01:51You made them obey
01:53Through waters you roamed
01:55An emperor of mine
01:56Under the stars
01:58As you rule the night
02:00Oh, oh oh oh oh ohav
02:19Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
02:25Trouble came calling in 79
02:28As safety concerns began to entwine
02:32The parks and wildlife with a snare they would cast
02:35To catch sweetheart, to manage the past
02:38On the fateful day when the trap did snares
02:42Sweetheart fought hard like he didn't care
02:45Entangled in logs, the fire took its course
02:49A mighty giant full of remorse
02:52Oh, sweetheart, you myth of the day
02:56With your teeth like daggers, you made them obey
02:59Through waters you roamed an emperor of mine
03:03Under the stars, you ruled them now
03:18In the Darwin Museum now, your story rebounds
03:24Two bullets in your spine
03:27The autopsy found
03:30Though legends may fade
03:34Your memory won't die
03:37For in every heart
03:41You'll always lie
03:46Oh, sweetheart, the spirit that lives on strong
03:49In the waters of the thinnest in every song
03:52From sweet Spillabong, where your rain was so bright
03:56We'll tell your tales
03:58Till the morning light
04:00Woa
04:04Ooh-ooh-oh-oh
