lyrics

Moon rises over the match factory;
I’m heading north from the river
Down those narrow Cremorne streets.
They’re gutting all our memories –
Even the tower on Swan Street;
Forever the moon rises, and will rise over me.

Silos tremble, I shiver as they leave;
We used to climb up to the gantry
Where we’d watch the city sleep.
Walking home at dawn
We feel the river through our feet;
Forever the moon rises, and will rise over me.

Far beyond my memory,
Something older buried.

Moon rises over the match factory;
I’m heading north by the river
To the hills from which it leaves.
If I don’t return tomorrow,
Leave a rock on the cairn for me.
Forever the moon rises,
And will rise over me.
