lyrics

As I recall it was in the month of May.
I hauled my load on the West Coast Highway Aotearoa.
The snow fell and covered everything all around.
I was glad, glad, I had gone. I was glad, glad, I had gone.

Was early August when I first come to your town.
As usual to find a place to settle down.
It should be August by the time I’m gone again
From this forest that dares grow here without flowers
From this forest that dares grow here without flowers.

Just today in a place five miles from town
A place where factory shadows cover all the ground.
I found a stream and I stooped down to wash my face
But the water there it run green and blue and yellow.
Yes the water there it run green and blue and yellow.

And as I sat there a while a small boy came down to play carrying boats and balls and toys.
He played so merrily that I could not find the strength I would need to forbid.
So I called out to him as I now call out to you
Have you ever seen a stream where you can count the hairs on your big toe four or five feet down?
And to drink it well you’d think it was cherry wine.
Yes to drink it well you’d swear it was sweet cherry wine!

As I recall it was in the month of May I hauled my load on the West Coast Highway Aotearoa.
The snow fell and covered everything all around
I was glad, glad, I had gone. I was glad, glad, I had gone
