Rhythms of the River
Sun sparkled
surface all a quiver
Chorus
Water bound life’s
silver sliver
River runs through
common ground
Diamond creeks
melt on down
Join the river
song of sound
From Castlegar
south the Salmo’s free flow
Rushing, rippling
over tumbled stones
Salmon red
spawners once called home
Hear the soul of
the river moan
Chorus
Watch the river
weave her story
Damned in all of
her glory
Bull trout we
seldom see
Cause we’re
plugged into Ac for DC
Chorus
Soar like the
eagle with your minds eye view
A patchwork of
clear cuts hiding from you
Landslides and
washouts the watershed blues
More muddy waters,
now there’s our clue
Chorus
Each rain a drop
of universal tears
Watersheds
shimmering crystal clear
Renewal
of beauty is nothing to fear
A soundscape
vision we all can hear
