It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us cleen
The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need
Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke
Kicking the dust so we can just
Dance the dance that plays with fire
Play guitar and play inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever
It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot
We take a walk down there to see what we've got
An old man collecting fifty beautiful words
Cleaning the beach so that he can teach us to
CHORUS
It's cool by the pane gla** on the high street we played
But there's always a penny in the music we made
So far from home, with no means of return
Burning the bridge, so we always
CHORUS
We're so far from home
No need to return
There's so much that we have though
And so much we have learned
