Lyrics

[Intro] Streams of innocence, streams of innocence Streams of innocence, streams of innocence [Verse 1] The stream flows down, picking up pace Shadows move in line in clumsy grace So much adventure in these dark green hills But the colour changes below the mill [Verse 2] Apache Valley, deep valley of fun Magpie feathers in our hair, hazel sticks for guns Escape and hide, running, twisting like hares Out of sight, out of bounds and mothers' prayers [Chorus] Streams of innocence running through these hills But the colour changes below the mill [Verse 3] Dye in the water, the stream turns blue Red tomorrow—does it flow for you? Dye in the water, money stills the tongue Another life cut short, many more to come [Verse 4] Dye in the water, the stream turns blue Green tomorrow, vermilion hue The colours flow on leaving a curse All turns to black and a silent hearse [Chorus] Streams of innocence running through these hills But the colour changes below the mill Streams of innocence running through these hills But the colour changes below the mill [Fiddle Solo] [Verse 5] Valley of laughter running through the years Hidden paths we found that held no fears We carry the scars as we carry these hills Now the stream runs clear below the mill [Chorus] Streams of innocence running through these hills But the colour changes below the mill Streams of innocence running through these hills But the colour changes below the mill [Outro] And the mill grows green beneath these hills And the mill grows green beneath these hills
