Crowded House - Hole In The River Lyrics






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

    just dont understand why not more people like this song...

    V.... J....

    its a song about suicide...not many people want to admit they like it cause then people will wonder if they are suicidal too and will try to force them into therapy...etc.. lol just my guess.

    V.... J....

    @Jack West fair enough. They missing out on a great song.

    I often wondered what the song really meant

    E.... M....

    Evelyn Mackenzie Neil Finn’s aunt killed herself, this song is about that.

    E.... M....

    @Kelevra ahh thank you. An end to the mystery. I wondered if that was what it was. Very sad. Beautiful song for her though. Just so sad Paul followed in her footsteps so many years later. May they both be at peace

    E.... M....

    its about an aunt who committed suicide by jumping into the river which caused her to drown. read the lyrics its all very clear.

    m.... ....

    ummm yeah its about his aunt's suicide...think you need to look up the lyrics. lol

    @Jack West It can still be a beautiful song, regardless of the story behind it.... perhaps even more beautiful if he is paying tribute to his aunt. Sad, haunting and lovely.
