Lyrics
Hey hey Oooh oooh
Down by Betka after rain The river cut its path again Dark as tea and running fast Through the sand it broke at last
White seas rolling, wild and wide Kelp thrown up by the heavy tide Storm marks written on the shore The land thrown open to the roar
And you could feel it Yeah you could feel it now The whole coast breathing Raw and open now
Heyyy, Betka broke to sea Opened up the whole wide coast for me Dark water running, blue water wide Meeting at the turn of the tide Ohhh, let the shoreline sing For the swell, for the flood, for the change it brings Wild and free for all to see The day Betka broke to sea
Hey hey
Tannin water, brown and deep Pushed through channels the storm would keep Out it ran through bar and bend Straight to the ocean once again
Big surf crashed and the weed rolled high Sea spray flashing to the sky But even then the sun broke through And drew a line from brown to blue
And you could feel it Yeah you could feel it now The whole coast turning Back toward the light somehow
Heyyy, Betka broke to sea Opened up the whole wide coast for me Dark water running, blue water wide Meeting at the turn of the tide Ohhh, let the shoreline sing For the swell, for the flood, for the change it brings Wild and free for all to see The day Betka broke to sea
Oooh ahh oooh
A few more tides and the kelp will clear The beach will shine by Easter here What looked torn by wind and rain Will smooth and settle down again
But for one bright day the earth let go And showed the force of the undertow River to ocean, sand to sky A living line rolling out wide
Hey hey Betka Betka Running out Running free
Betka broke To sea
Betka broke To sea
Dark water Blue sea
Betka broke Wild and free
Heyyy, Betka broke to sea Opened up the whole wide coast for me Dark water running, blue water wide Meeting at the turn of the tide Ohhh, let the shoreline sing For the swell, for the flood, for the change it brings Wild and free for all to see The day Betka broke to sea
Oooh oooh Hey hey Down by Betka after rain The river found its road again
