A grief came riding
On the wind
Up the sun on river Thames
I was sittin´ on the bank with my mouth open
When I felt it entering

I began thinkin´ about our wedding day
And how love was a vow
I was thinkin´ about the chamber door
Only we can enter now

I began thinkin´ about our ancient friends
And of kissin´ them goodbye
And then the wind blew under Battersea bridge
And a tear broke from my eye

I started thinkin´ about London
And nothing good ever came from this town
and if the Thames weren´t so filthy
I would jump in the river and drown

Don´t be afraid
Come on down
I´m just sittin´ here
Thinking loud

Now look there just blow the water
See the saviour of the human race
Where the fishes and the frogs
Has found his final resting place

Blowin´ people far apart
Blowin´ others so they collide
Blowin´ some poor bastard right out of the water
blowin´ another one over the side

Hear the ancient iron bridge
And listen to it groan
with the weight of a thousand people
Leavin´ or returning home

To their failures
To their bordoms
To their husbands
And their wife´s
who are carving them up for dinner
before they even arrive

Don´t be afraid
Come on down
I´m just sittin´ here
And thinkin´ of love

And look they just blow the water
See the saviour of the human race
Where the fishes and the frogs
Has found his final resting place

Don´t be afraid
Come on down
I´m just sittin´ here
Thinkin´ of love
