Lyrics

Why shouldn’t she go she’s only ninety?
We call her Grandmothers wheelhouse
She’s one of many where more than the stakes and the jacks were raised
Now not just the people of town migrate
Think beyond the water, and guide her gently

Rove and go love rove and go love
Think rove and go love rove and go love

So wrap up the glass and stow the table
Every hand in the harbour every man that’s able
On green wood past the grave yard the school and store
This land we call home for one day more
Think beyond the water, and guide her gently

Rove and go love, rove and go love
Think rove and go love, rove and go love
Rove and go love, rove and go love
Think rove and go love, rove and go love

Leave the wisdom in the walls and the wishes in the windows
Leave the all the footsteps in the floorboards but cry good-bye to the meadows
Push pull and haul, the cleverness of man
I don’t know if we should but I know we can
Think beyond the water, and guide her gently

So let go and let’s go
Decisions are made
There’s nothing left to contemplate
Card laid card played
Think beyond the water, and guide her gently

Think rove and go love, rove and go love
Rove and go love, rove and go love
Think rove and go love, rove and go love
Rove and go love, rove and go love

Rove and go, and rove and go, and rove and go, rove and go
Rove and go, and rove and go, and rove and go, rove and go
