The Meteor Shower - River Kemi (feat. Steve Hunt on vocals)

From an Arctic wilderness
To the Gulf of the Baltic Sea
From vast horizons
To forests of evergreens

This river flows through pines and hills
Rapids flow to a stately calm and chill
The undertow meets the shore
And the ocean's still

Wood cabins
Line the banks and fields
Through Finland's hinterland
It's frontiers revealed

Where the midnight sun keeps guard
And the midday night bites cold and hard
It never ends

River Kemi
The sight and sound
This beautiful highway, this hallowed ground

Canada Geese passing this way
Honking and hooting - coming here to stay
Flapping like a scarecrow
In the evening's sway

Where the midnight sun keeps guard
And the winter's nights bite cold and hard

River Kemi
The sight and sound
This watery highway, this hallowed ground
Time stands still, we're just hanging around
In this wilderness, there's not a soul here to be found

A white glaze here in Lapland's snow
Life hunkers down in twenty below
This land's in deep-freeze
The world goes slow

Then the thaw and the rapids rage
The roar of dams as they hold back the strain
And record temperatures
Start to hit the gauge

Where the midnight sun keeps guard
And the midday night bites cold and hard
It never ends

River Kemi
The sight and sound
This beautiful highway, this hallowed ground
Time stands still, we're just hanging around
In this wilderness, there's not a soul here to be found
