Levellers - Riverflow Lyrics
THE RIVERFLOW (THE LEVELLERS)I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a fewI cracked a can and so did you, we're gonna change the worldThe ghetto kings of downside townThe estates and parks of our hallowed groundDoing anything that we found and on the river flowedYou'd take a drink from the Rev. Jimmy JonesYou'd cross the street on the path the gunman roamsThrown aside and left to waste that was you - you knew your placeWander round, get off your face, and on the river flowedCHORUS: On and on the river flow - we the undertowI don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you doIt sure has left its mark on you, but you're still with us todayLife goes on and round we go, and words can kill these things i knowSometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river flowsYou'd set the table for the barber sweeney ToddYou'd clip the wings of any rising godBut man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut, all that is grownBroke your spirit but not your bones, and on the river flowsCHORUS: On and on the river flow - we the undertowYou're working now - forced to the raceI know it left a bitter tasteBut the rising tide had covered your faceNothing you could doBut i still remember the day you saidThat the river flowing through my headWould take me far or leave me deadAnd all you said was true(Typed in by Niclas Johansson
