lyrics

Joe Sutherland lived North from here, log cabin on a lake
Homesteaded there after the war with his love Elaine
When work was done, the wood was cut, the baking set to cool
They’d go on down to Echo Point to see the river’s view

They’d call Hello…..

The river bent and twisted there, it ran so cold and deep
A quarter mile from shore to shore, the current tossed and leaped
Dark water rushed between steep hills, the West side Curry Ridge
Elaine would dream of crossing it, she wished there was a bridge

Joe was sleeping when she left the house, he woke up with a sigh
“Elaine” he said, she wasn’t there, he thought that he would die
This land had never felt so big, the river never so wide
He stood alone at Echo Point and all alone he cried…

Hello…

It’s 30 years now since Joe died and no one lives there still
The path they took is overgrown and hidden on their hill
I’ve heard from several local guides who’ve rafted there downstream
They’ve heard a sound come from that hill and echo like a dream…

Hello…
