Katherine

Her name was Katherine and he'd talk of her

The mess she'd left and the heart she'd tore

Was it real that she was comin' up again?

She'd laid low for a couple of years

And the panic struck as she drew near

And she threatened to visit her old friend

He and his mates, they'd all get together

And they'd talk about her and then 'bout the weather

And he'd tell 'em he couldn't go another round

Lady, I know what you've come to do

And just between me and you

It'll break him if you come runnin' back through this town

Katherine River, just like a lover

I would rather you get out of this town

Take your memories with you where you go

To secret places only rivers know

Get out of this town

Her name was Katherine, she was high as wide

With a peaceful beautiful and a dangerous side

Now her name re-echoes in the wind

I'm begging you, Katherine, your name's so sweet

He can't abide your dark deceit

Not knowing when your storm will rise again

Katherine River, just like a lover

I would rather you get out of this town

Take your memories with you where you go

To secret places only rivers know

Get out of this town

And, oh, when those dark clouds cry

And those tears, they fall between your sides

Spread out wide and then we're all covered in

A river called Katherine

Katherine River, just like a lover

I would rather you get out of this town

Take your memories with you where you go

To secret places only rivers know

Get out of this town

Katherine River, just like a lover

I would rather you get out of this town

Take your memories with you where you go

To secret places only rivers know

Get out of this town
