Will Knox - Riverside lyrics

I'm going home, to see my friend In a chapel town on the bank of a river-bend Nothing's bright but everything is pale And a bruised breeze fills a river man sails Graveyards gums have grown new teeth Pretty new pearls adorned by pretty new reeds I twist my tongue and you bend my ear Light another cigarette and tell me you've had a bad year Slipping through ivy stones Familiar faces i don't know Channel wine, bitter pride Designed to satisfy I drowned these thoughts by the riverside The river ink composes poems Her bridges break and the boatmen punctuate She teaches me through tides and wakes Her words are ripples and waves of frosted lakes Slipping through ivy stones Familiar faces i don't know Channel wine, bitter pride Designed to satisfy I drowned these thoughts by the riverside I'm going home, to see my friend In a chapel town on the bank of a river-bend I twist my tongue and you bend my ear Light another cigarette and tell me you've had a bad year
