Lyrics

River Lea

Drowning in a scene, a make believe
I sit and wonder if it’s true
Everything that happens , happens when it happens
Sinking through a bed of weeds

Woodyards of my youth are in my sight
Flashing in the serious sunlight
I can smell the timber , the fear of getting lifted
Trespassing in the night

RIVER LEA RIVER LEA RIVER LEA
RIVER LEA DONT TAKE ME
RIVER LEA RIVER LEA RIVER LEA
RIVER LEA DONT TAKE ME

I’m standing on a bridge , this bridge of fears
Looking down it’s very very clear
No I shouldn’t oughta , I shouldn’t ever oughta
Carry me away from here

I’m lying on the towpath looking up
And all I see is faces very still
Resuscitation artificial ventilation
THE RIVER FLOWS ON

RIVER LEA RIVER LEA RIVER LEA
RIVER LEA FLOWING TO THE SEA
I’m lying on the towpath looking up
RIVER LEA RIVER LEA RIVER LEA
RIVER LEA FLOWING TO THE SEA
All I see is faces very still
RIVER LEA RIVER LEA RIVER LEA
RIVER LEA FLOWING TO THE SEA
Looking down it’s very very clear
RIVER LEA RIVER LEA RIVER LEA
RIVER LEA FLOWING TO THE SEA .... reprise
Woodyards of my youth are in my sight ..
I’m lying on the towpath looking up ....
All I see is faces very still ...
Looking down it’s very very clear ......
