He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath. On the first day he was dazed by the noise and by the bustle, He sat in the square, and tried so hard to think. Found a cheap hotel and booked himself a room all damp and shabby He sat in the bar, he bought himself a drink. He sang: "Flow river flow, flow to the sea, Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me." He rose early on the second day, And watched the dirty struggle of the dawn To rise above the smoke and haze. And armed with a map he made his way from factory to foundry, Joined the queues of the unskilled labourers. Then an old man came, shook his hand, Sat right there beside him, And he heard the tale of rural poverty. Shook his head, and with a tear he said, "All that you have told me Is like having my own story told to me." He sang: "Flow river flow, flow to the sea, Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me." Drinking harder every night, He made himself keep searching Till he found he could not rise to greet the day. And he lay behind a vale of tears on the Yarra bank that morning, And he wondered how the hell things got this way. Late that night he stumbled from an inner city bar, Barely conscious down the alley he did sway. And they beat him, they sank the boot in, And they took his last four dollars, Left him dying in the dawn, it was Saturday... He sang: "Flow river flow, flow to the sea, Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me." Flow river flow, flow to the sea, Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me. Flow river flow, oh flow on to the sea, Flow on big river, bring my dreams, bring them home to me Related Lyrics Random lyrics: All This More, Anyone Can, Be Honest, Bewitched, Blonde, Blue Eyes, Boing!, Brassneck, California, Carolyn, Come Play With Me, Corduroy, Crawl, Crushed, Dalliance, Dare, Dont Be So Hard, Dont Laugh, Dont Be So Hard, Dont Laugh, Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft, Fleshworld, Flying Saucer, Give My Love To Kevin, Go Go Dancer, Go-Go Dancer, Granadaland, Heather, Its What You Want That Matters, Its What You Want That Matters, Kennedy, Love Slave, Lovenest, Make Me Smile, Make Me Smile Come Up And See Me, Mothers, My Favourite Dress, Niagara, No, No Christmas, Not From Where Im Standing, Not from Where Im Standing, Octopussy, One Day This Will All Be Yours, Rotterdam, Shatner, Shes My Best Friend, Shes My Best Friend, Silver Shorts, Something and Nothing, Other Wedding Parties Anything song Lyrics BRUNSWICK Lyrics GUN Lyrics INDUSTRIAL TOWN Lyrics MISSING IN ACTION Lyrics MORTON SONG FOR TEX Lyrics SAY THE WORD Lyrics SISTERS OF MERCY Lyrics UNDER THE CLOCKS Lyrics Other Artists Wedding Present Lyrics Weddings Parties Anything Lyrics Wedgee Lyrics Wee Papa Girl Rappers Lyrics Weekend Excursion Lyrics Weekend The Lyrics Ween Lyrics Weeping Willows Lyrics Weezer Lyrics Weezer F/ Good Charlotte Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
