Murrumbidgee River

Words and Music by
Stewart Kohinga 

Yellow belly black snake baking in the sun 
Murrumbidgee river running strong 
Laying beside you thinking on the words you said  
Let's leave behind the city lights 
The noises in our head 

Riverina red gums reaching to the sky 
Male diamond fire tails singing loud tonight 
Laying beside you thinking on the words you said 
Let's leave behind the city lights 
The noises in our head 

Someday we will be free  
From the things that contain us  
Just you and me 
Someday we will know  
Life is for living  
Then you go 

Sugar gliders, honey eaters, keeping up the chase 
Kangaroos, cockatoos, sharing the same space 
Laying beside you thinking on the words you said 
Let’s leave behind the city lights 
The noises in our head 

Someday we will be free  
From the things that contain us  
Just you and me 
Someday we will know  
Life is for living  
Then you go

Someday we will be free  
From the things that contain us  
Just you and me 
Someday we will know  
Life is for living 
Oh life is for living 
Life is for living then you go 

Someday, someday, someday
