lyrics

My brothers and I felt it was time
To make the trip we had to make to Jindabyne
The countryside was beautiful, I’d never been before
I said I wish, and stopped myself, and said no more

Chorus:
And the road is clear and the weather’s fine
And we’re driving down to Jindabyne
I don’t recall the last time we all went away alone
Just one night to spend and just one place to find
Then we’ll all come home from Jindabyne

We fought on the way down about something really small
The hotel gave us dinner but we couldn’t eat that much at all
We spoke of everything except what still lay in store
I said I wish, and stopped myself, and said no more

Chorus

We got up very early, none of us complained
My little brother took the wheel, our conversation was restrained
I looked at them all grown up, all strong and kind and wise
I said I wish, and stopped myself, and tears came to my eyes

Chorus

At last we found the river, we knew it was the one
It sparkled and it tumbled like a river ought to run
We let our father’s ashes go in water clean and clear
We looked around and said he would have liked it here

Chorus:
And the water’s clear and the weather’s fine
At the river near to Jindabyne
I wish there was another reason why we’re here alone
But it’s all okay and the sky is blue and we’ve done what he asked us to
And now it’s time to all go home

Chorus:
And the road is clear and the weather’s fine
And we’re driving back from Jindabyne
On the first time we all went away alone
Just one night to spend and just one place to find
Now we’re coming home from Jindabyne
