about

The Bridgewater Jerry is a fog formation that occasionally appears over the River Derwent in Hobart, Tasmania and down the Derwent Valley. It is named after the suburb of Bridgewater, and the word "jerry" may have come from convict slang for 'fog' or 'mist'.

lyrics

By the moon's stolen light
In the still of the night
The spirits descend to the valley
Come gather, they say,
We'll sail away
On the river, way out to sea

In the dawn's frozen air
The Bridgewater Jerry
We come to see you go by
Like an unspoken prayer,
The Bridgewater Jerry
We come to see you go by

The hills fade away,
Black swan turns to grey,
The people awake from their dreaming
The worries of night
Are now clouds sailing by
Silently, way out to sea
