  • There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
    From the land of the living to the air and sky
    Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
    Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was...

    Dreaming of glory
    Miles above the mountains and plains
    Free at last

    We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
    The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
    She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
    Drove her down to the river
    There is no return

    There's a hole in the river where a memory lies
    From the land of the living to the air and sky
    She was coming to see him
    But something changed her mind,
    Drove her down to the river
    There is no return Writer/s: EDWARD RAYNER, NEIL MULLANE FINN

  • Martha from Knoxville, TnI have loved this song since 1997 . So raw. I thought of it as I came to terms with a very similar suicide by someone I knew only through a co-worker about 5 years ago.
