Lyrics Everything's Turning to White - Paul Kelly
Late
on
a
Friday,
my
husband
went
up
To
the
mountains
with
three
friends
They
took
provisions
and
bottles
of
bourbon
To
last
them
all
through
the
weekend
One
hundred
miles
they
drove
Just
to
fish
in
a
stream
And
there's
so
much
water,
so
close
to
home
When
they
arrived,
it
was
cold
and
dark
They
set
up
their
camp
quickly
Warmed
up
with
whiskey,
they
walked
to
the
river
Where
the
water
flowed
past
darkly
In
the
moonlight
they
saw
the
body
Of
a
girl
floating
face
down
And
there's
so
much
water,
so
close
to
home
When
he
holds
me
now,
I'm
pretending
I
feel
like
I'm
frozen
inside
And
behind
my
eyes,
my
daily
disguise
Everything's
turning
to
white
It
was
too
hard
to
tell
how
long
she'd
been
dead
The
river
was
that
close
to
freezing
But
one
thing
for
sure
The
girl
hadn't
died
very
well,
to
judge
from
the
bruising
They
stood
there
above
her
all
thinking
The
same
thoughts
at
the
same
time
There's
so
much
water,
so
close
to
home
So
this
is
what
they
did
They
carried
her
downstream
from
their
fishing
Between
two
smooth
rocks
they
gently
wedged
her
After
all,
it
was
late,
and
they'd
come
a
long
way
The
girl
would
keep,
she
was
going
nowhere
They
stayed
up
there
fishing
for
two
days
They
reported
it
on
Sunday
when
they
came
back
down
There's
so
much
water,
so
close
to
home
When
he
holds
me
now,
I'm
pretending
Nothing
is
working
inside
And
behind
my
eyes,
my
daily
disguise
Everything's
turning
to
white
The
newspapers
said
that
the
girl
had
been
strangled
To
death
and
also
molested
On
the
day
of
the
funeral
the
radio
reported
That
a
young
man
had
been
arrested
I
went
to
the
service
a
stranger
I
drove
past
the
lake
out
of
town
There's
so
much
water,
so
close
to
home
When
he
holds
me
now
I'm
pretending
I
feel
like
I'm
frozen
inside
And
behind
my
eyes,
my
daily
disguise
Everything's
turning
to
white
