[00:43.22]I walked down that boulder road,
[00:47.13]Through a child’s eye saw places where I used to go.
[00:52.41]Where I crawled barefoot with a fishing pole
[00:56.57]To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole
[01:00.92]But it’s true–silver river turning blue.
[01:11.03]It was a small town in a smaller world.
[01:15.03]Just a black dot on an old map with its edges curled.
[01:20.48]Where they built their industries on the edge of town–
[01:25.35]Leaching chemicals from underground
[01:29.19]Now it’s true–that silver river turning blue.
[01:39.04]Just got a late reaction. Face reality and stare it down.
[01:48.49]Sometimes it’s harder hanging on. Much easier to look around.
[01:56.07]But I need that job.
[02:02.38]Well, this place no city: we’re just small players here.
[02:06.58]Like a million other heroes drinking poor man’s beer.
[02:11.61]We know what’s right. We’re just living it wrong.
[02:15.83]But there’s no easy answer in the green man’s song.
[02:20.37]What do you do? When your river’s turning Blue.
