Lyrics for The Riverflow by The Levellers:
| | | Artist: | The Levellers |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Riverflow | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 60 | | | | Lyrics: | I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a few
I cracked a can and so did you, we're going
to change the world
The ghetto kings of downside town-the estates and parks of our hallowed
ground
Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowed
You'd take a drink from
Rev. Jimmy Jones
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
Thrown aside and left
to waste, that was you - you knew your place
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river
flowed
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
On and on the river flow - we
are the undertow
I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do
It sure has left its mark on you but you're still with us today
Life goes on and round we
go and words can kill these things I know
Sometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river
flows
You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
You'd clip the wings of any rising
god
But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut all that is grown
Broke your spirit but
not your bones and on the river flows
CHORUS
You're working now - forced to the
race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide had covered your face
Nothing
you could do
But I still remember the day you said
That the river flowing through my head
Would take me far or leave me dead
And all you said was true | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
