Corwin Fox - Ten Years Older lyrics

Ten years older, ten years faster moving You remember all the short-cuts through the bush Ten years older, ten years warmer Now the geese fly round in circles ‘cross the river Go South, I cry to the big black swarm Go South, I cry to the seasons But they won't go and they swarm along the banks of the river Ten years older, same old church is standing Between our two houses after all this time Ten years older, same old families preying On the others - all that money sure don't give you cla** Go South, I cry to their chemical storm Go South, I cry to their mansions But they won't go and they swarm along the banks of the river Ten years older, ten years faster moving No more natives in this valley, no more fishes swimming Ten years older, ten years warmer You remember waters rising, you remember elders crying Go South, they cried to our wagons Go South, they cried to our mothers But we won't go and we swarm along the banks of the river
