| High in the hills, river flows and meanders slowly |
| Snaking her way through the heather cladded land |
| Here in the town she's constrained by a wall of concrete |
| Ninety years ahead of what is planned |
| The feeling that our town is taken over |
| Without really hearing what we want |
| Nature is the best of our solutions (we're offered) |
| A concrete wall on bundt |
| Slipping through the Council, one by one |
| They try to doctor every minute |
| Nodding in agreement |
| Slipping through the Council, one by one |
| Can we really ese what's being planned |
| Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| Lies keeps on growing |
| Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| Walk by the Esk, the route she used to flow through |
| We didn't notice, let precious time go by |
| Then when she's gone, there's an awful feeling |
| And a sense of guilt we can't deny |
| What happened to the wonderful adventures |
| The places by the Esk we used to go |
| (Slipping through our fingers all the time) |
| Well, some of that we did but most we didn't |
| And why, I just don't know |
| Slipping through our fingers all the time |
| I try to capture every minute |
| The feeling in it |
| Slipping through our fingers all the time |
| Do we really want to challenge |
| The project team, all knowing |
| They keep on growing |
| Slipping through our fingers all the time |
| Now we wish that we could freeze the picture |
| And start again with NATURE at the core |
| Slipping through our fingers |
| Slipping through our fingers all the time |
| High in the hills, river flows and meanders slowly |
| Snaking her way towards the concrete town |
