River

(album: Labi Siffre - 1970)

New day dawning
Down by the river
Sunday morning
River glitter

River mighty majesty queen, tell me where have you been?
Tell me
What have you seen?
River coming round the bend do you ever end? Will you be my friend?
River will you think about me?
I'm not so sad right now but I can be

People know me
I know people
Still I'm lonely
What do I do, I come to you

River mighty majesty queen, tell me where have you been?
Tell me
What have you seen?
River coming round the bend do you ever end? Will you be my friend?
River will you think about me?
I'm not so sad right now but I can be

What you are, people say that's the only way and there's no one else I'd rather be than me
But being me isn't half the fun it should be

You're a loner
I'm alone
When I'm with you
I feel at home

River mighty majesty queen, tell me where have you been?
Tell me
What have you seen?
River coming round the bend do you ever end? Will you be my friend?
River will you think about me?
I'm not so sad right now but I can be

River mighty majesty queen, tell me where have you been?
Tell me
What have you seen?
River coming round the bend do you ever end? Will you be my friend?
River you don't care about me
I wasn't so sad before
But now I see
