Grief Came Riding

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid
Come on down
I'm just sittin' here
Thinking loud
[Verse 2]
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 boredoms
To their husbands
And their wife's
Who are carving them up for dinner
Before they even arrive
[Chorus]
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
