[00:47.130]The rainbow river is a laughing stream
[00:52.030]Down in a valley by a mountain that is pine tree tall
[00:58.380]The rainbow river has a small boy fishing with a worm
[01:04.884]And a jam jar by the waterfall
[01:10.438]Don’t make a sound
[01:12.793]don’t disturb the ground
[01:15.643]The biggest fish you ever saw is around
[01:22.094]And the rainbow river gives a rainbow fish
[01:28.145]As one small boy goes running
[01:30.956]proudly to his mother’s call
[01:37.559]The stonebuilt farmhouse is a rough stone cottage
[01:42.658]Hiding close against the hillside up a winding track
[01:49.211]The stonebuilt farmhouse has a fair-haired farmer
[01:54.763]Wearing wooden shoes and building up a new haystack
[02:02.317]Run in the door stand on the stone floor
[02:07.468]The oven opens- there’s the biggest loaf you ever saw
[02:13.619]And the stonebuilt farmhouse gives a good warm welcome
[02:19.469]As he sits down in his own chair with a Windsor back
[02:28.821]The magpie meadow is a glowing evening colour
[02:34.922]Sun is setting quietly and the boy is tired
[02:40.674]The magpie meadow has a sparrow hawk who hovers
[02:46.735]Hanging on the wind preying eagle eyed
[02:53.238]Sit by the lantern watch as the years turn
[02:58.938]Slowly bringing truth for every child to learn
[03:05.339]And the magpie meadow
[03:07.390]darkens gently blue now
[03:11.390]As the family sit their faces lit by ember fire
