| [00:15.62] |
I looked out across |
| [00:16.34] |
The river today |
| [00:23.40] |
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower |
| [00:26.81] |
Where the seagulls play |
| [00:30.46] |
I saw the sad shire horses walking home |
| [00:34.73] |
In the sodium light |
| [00:38.54] |
I saw two priests on the ferry |
| [00:40.51] |
October geese on a cold winter's night |
| [00:46.20] |
And all this time the river flowed |
| [00:50.62] |
Endlessly to the sea |
| [01:01.29] |
Two priests came round our house tonight |
| [01:08.81] |
One young one old to offer prayers for the dying |
| [01:12.56] |
To serve the final rite |
| [01:16.48] |
One to learn,one to teach |
| [01:20.34] |
Which way the cold wind blows |
| [01:23.99] |
Fussing and flapping in priestly black |
| [01:27.09] |
Like a murder of crows |
| [01:31.51] |
And all this time,the river flowed |
| [01:39.03] |
Endlessly to the sea |
| [01:46.34] |
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river |
| [01:54.53] |
And I'd bury the old man |
| [01:56.25] |
I'd bury him at sea |
| [02:02.40] |
Blessed are the poor,for they shall inherit the earth |
| [02:10.42] |
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle |
| [02:17.18] |
And as these words were spoken I swear I hear |
| [02:20.94] |
The old man laughing |
| [02:25.21] |
'What good is a used up world |
| [02:26.43] |
And how could it be worth having |
| [02:31.91] |
And all this time the river flowed |
| [02:40.09] |
Endlessly like a silent tear |
| [02:46.90] |
And all this time the river flowed |
| [02:55.02] |
Father,if Jesus exists |
| [02:57.05] |
Then how come he never lived here |
| [03:13.96] |
The teacher told us,the Romans built this place |
| [03:21.43] |
They built a wall and a temple,an edge of the empire |
| [03:25.39] |
Garrison town |
| [03:28.84] |
They lived and they died,they prayed to their gods |
| [03:32.91] |
But the stone gods did not make a sound |
| [03:36.92] |
And their empire crumbled,'til all that was left |
| [03:40.68] |
Were the stones the workmen found |
| [03:44.39] |
And all this time the river flowed |
| [03:51.96] |
In the falling light of a northern sun |
| [03:59.12] |
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river |
| [04:07.14] |
Men go crazy in congregations |
| [04:08.56] |
But they only get better |
| [04:11.46] |
One by one |
| [04:18.16] |
One by one |
| [04:22.48] |
One by one |
| [04:26.08] |
One by one... |
| [04:27.05] |
I looked out across |
| [04:28.93] |
The river today |
| [04:33.45] |
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower |
| [04:36.65] |
Where the seagulls play. |
| [04:40.16] |
I saw the sad shire horses walking home |
| [04:44.88] |
In the sodium light.... |
