The Riverflow (Live)

The Riverflow (Live) - The Levellers

Written by：Charlie Heather/Jeremy Cunningham/Jon Sevink/Mark Chadwick/Simon Friend

I met you in eight two

Over a crate of beer and not a few

I cracked a can and so did you

We're going to change the world

The ghetto kings of downside town the estates and parks of our hallowed ground

Doing anything that we found

And on the river flowed

You'd take a drink from rev

Jimmy Jones

You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams

Thrown aside and left to waste that was you

You knew your place

Wander round get off your face and on the river flowed

On and on the river flow we are the undertow

On and on the river flow we are the undertow

I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do

It sure has left

It's mark on you but you're still with us today

Life goes on and round we go and words can kill these things I know

Sometimes you cut deeply so but on the river flows

You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd

You'd clip the wings of any rising God

But man can't live on hope alone it can be cut all that is grown

Broke your spirit but not your bones and on the river flows

On and on the river flow we are the undertow

On and on the river flow we are the undertow

You're working now forced to the race I know it left a bitter taste

But the rising tide had covered your face

Nothing you could do

But I still remember the day you said

That the river flowing through my head

Would take me far or leave me dead

And all you said was true
