The Riverboat Song

The Riverboat Song - Ocean Colour Scene

Written by：Simon Fowler/Oscar Harrison/Damon Minchella/Steve Cradock

I see double up ahead

Where the riverboat

Swayed beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

Like a king who stalks

The wings and shoots a dove

And frees an eagle instead

It's more or less the same

As the things that you said

I see trouble up the road

Like the things you found

In love are by the way

And like to cheat on your soul

Like the best and worst

Of thoughts that lose control

Before you lie on your bed

It's more or less the same

As the things that you said

And anyway for all the things you know

Tell me why does the river not flow

And anyway for all the things you said

Tell me why does the river run red

But

Anyway for all the things you've seen

Tell me when will the river run green

And anyway for all the things you know

Tell me why does the river not flow

It's more or less the things

You fail to say in your way

That's your trouble

Like a king who stalks the wings

And shoots the moon and the stars

And his double

It's more or less the same

As the things that you said

And anyway for all the things you know

Tell me why does the river not flow

Anyway for all the things you

Said tell me why does the river run red

And anyway for all the things you've

Seen tell me when will the river run green

And anyway for all the things you

Know tell me why does the river not flow

I see trouble up ahead

Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

I see double that's my trouble
