Clearer View - Blue Rodeo

I know when they built this house

Out of rocks from the river mouth

They thought it’d never come down

Not while we’re around

Some things are made to last

Other things we know must pass

Nothing we do

Stops time coming through

My father left me here with a map crumpled in my hand

I tried to follow, but there’s days when I just don’t understand

And when we fall down in time

Washed in trouble we thought we’d left behind

Oh, let the river carry you

Lift your head back up to the clearer view

Oh-oh

See the high water starting to flood

Bringing down all the rocks and the mud

And if it won’t stop

It’ll wash away all we’ve got

Down in the valley, you hear a rumble in the trees

It’s hard to keep your head when the ground’s moving 'neath your feet

And when we fall down in time

Washed in trouble we thought we’d left behind

Oh, let the storm pass on through

And work your way back up to the clearer view

Oh-oh

Oh-oh
