Chris T-T - The River lyrics

Waist deep in the Thames on a Sunday morning She kissed all her friends goodbye and she rowed away Rain came down on Kingston, we stood silent She will reach the sea in a couple of days Will you keep the picture safe? We will keep the picture safe I went climbing mountains, high above the city Looking at the river stretched out like a map below All her friends were scattered to the corners Nobody understood why she had to go I will get my story straight We will keep the picture safe On the evening news a mother drowned her baby As I sat there, I knew who to blame Halfway down Embankment, hope was fading Truth is nothing, will ever be the same I will never see her again We couldn't keep the picture safe Face down in the Thames on a Thursday morning Watch the picture float away
