Lyrics
Rivertown
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 1988
A rivertown with soil red
And weeping willows 'side the river's edge
Underneath the bridge we'd talk
Beside the river's edge we'd walk
In muddy water we did dive
In a disused quarry we did climb
On summer days we'd never rest
Now circumstances would suggest
We followed the river down to the sea
Together washed away we were longing to be free
Longing to be free
Where did you go and how have you been?
What are your thoughts and what have you seen?
Did you stay on the shore or did you decide
To leave the land and into the water dive?
We followed the river down to the sea
Together washed away we were longing to be free
Longing to be free
We followed the river down to the sea
Together washed away we were longing to be free
Longing to be free
