歌词

[00:15.46] I looked out across
[00:19.42] The river today
[00:23.67] I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[00:26.92] Where the seagulls play.
[00:31.03] I saw the sad shire horses walking home
[00:34.94] In the sodium light
[00:38.29] I saw two priests on the ferry
[00:40.44] October geese on a cold winter's night
[00:45.90] And all this time the river flowed
[00:53.96] Endlessly to the sea.
[01:01.42] Two priests came round our house tonight
[01:09.33] One young one old to offer prayers for the dying
[01:12.49] To serve the final rite,
[01:16.44] One to learn, one to teach,
[01:20.25] Which way the cold wind blows
[01:24.46] Fussing and flapping in priestly black
[01:27.06] Like a murder of crows
[01:31.58] And all this time, the river flowed
[01:39.59] Endlessly to the sea
[01:46.22] If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[01:54.30] And I'd bury the old man,
[01:57.70] I'd bury him at sea
[02:01.51]
[02:01.75] Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth
[02:10.07] Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
[02:17.14] And as these words were spoken I swear I hear
[02:21.14] The old man laughing,
[02:25.09] 'What good is a used up world,
[02:27.09] And how could it be worth having'
[02:32.06] And all this time the river flowed
[02:40.08] Endlessly like a silent tear
[02:46.75] And all this time the river flowed
[02:54.56] Father, if Jesus exists,
[02:57.26] Then how come he never lived here.
[03:13.64] The teacher told us, the Romans built this place
[03:21.40] They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire
[03:25.00] Garrison town,
[03:29.07] They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
[03:32.97] But the stone gods did not make a sound
[03:36.67] And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
[03:40.43] Were the stones the workmen found
[03:44.54] And all this time the river flowed
[03:51.74] In the falling light of a northern sun
[03:58.96] If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[04:07.07] Men go crazy in congregations
[04:08.88] But they only get better
[04:10.63] One by one
[04:14.74] One by one
[04:18.39] One by one
[04:19.60] One by one...
[04:25.45] I looked out across
[04:29.16] The river today
[04:33.57] I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[04:36.62] Where the seagulls play.
[04:40.38] I saw the sad shire horses walking home
[04:43.53] In the sodium light....
