Blue Rodeo Clearer View Lyrics

Clearer View Lyrics

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 try 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



Just let the river carry you



Lift your head back up to the clearer view







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 there's 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



Let the storm pass on through



And work your way back up to the clearer view
