Kootenay River — Local services in Area E (Saint Mary/Skookumchuck)

River, river, carry me on Living river, carry me on River, river, carry me on To the place where I come from

So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside River, show me how to float, I feel like I'm sinking down Thought that I could get along

But here in this water, my feet won't touch the ground I need something to turn myself around

Going away, away toward the sea River deep, can you lift up and carry me Oh roll on through the heartland 'Til the sun has left the sky River, river, carry me high

'Til the washing of the water, make it all alright Let your waters reach me, like she reached me tonight

Letting go, it's so hard, the way it's hurting now To get this love untied So tough to stay with this thing, â??cos if I follow through I face what I denied I'll get those hooks out of me And I'll take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side Kill that fear of emptiness, that loneliness I hide

River, oh river, river running deep Bring me something that will let me get to sleep

In the washing of the water will you take it all away Bring me something to take this pain...

One of the great rivers of the world, the Kootenay River courses south out of Canada, thence westerly past Bonners Ferry, then north again back to Canada. The water is cold and clear, and the fish include ancient surgeon and trout. Back in the day, loggers floated log rafts down the river to sawmills, and there were ferries and commerce along her shores. Now, only birch and massive pines...
